Genesis 43

And the famine was sore in the land.

Ary mafy ny mosary teo amin'ny tany.

And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.

AryY rehefa laniny ny vary izay efa nalainy tany Egypta, dia hoy ny rainy taminy: Mandehana indray, mividia hanina kely ho antsika.

And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

Ary Joda niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Efa nilaza mafy taminay ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Tsy hahita ny tavako ianareo, raha tsy hiaraka aminareo ilay rahalahinareo.

If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

Raha hampandehaninao hiaraka aminay ny rahalahinay, dia hidina izahay ka hividy hanina ho anao;

But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

fa raha tsy hampandehaninao izy, dia tsy hidina izahay; fa hoy ralehilahy taminay: Tsy hahita ny tavako ianareo, raha tsy hiaraka aminareo ilay rahalahinareo.

And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?

Ary hoy Isiraely: Nahoana no dia nampidi-doza tamiko ianareo ka nanambara tamin-dralehilahy fa mbola nanan-drahalahy koa ianareo?

And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?

Ary hoy izy ireo: Nanadina dia nanadina ny amin'ny tenanay sy ny mpianakavinay ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Mbola velona ihany va izay rainareo? ary manan-drahalahy hafa koa va ianareo? Dia nambaranay taminy araka izany teny izany; moa nampoizinay akory va izay hanaovany hoe: Ento midina ny rahalahinareo?

And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.

Ary hoy Joda tamin'Isiraely rainy: Ampandehano hiaraka amiko ny zaza, dia hiainga izahay ka handeha, mba ho velona isika ka tsy ho faty, dia izahay sy ianao ary ny zanatsika madinika koa.

I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:

Izaho no hiantoka azy; amin'ny tanako no handraisanao azy; raha tsy ho entiko atỳ aminao ka hatolotro eto anatrehanao izy, dia ho meloka aminao amin'ny andro rehetra hiainako aho;

For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.

fa raha tsy nijanonjanona izahay, dia efa tafaverina fanindroany toy izay.

And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:

Ary hoy Isiraely rainy taminy: Raha izany ary no izy, dia izao no ataovy: analao ny vokatra malaza amin'ny tany ka ataovy ao anatin'ny fitondran-entanareo, dia ento midina haterina ho an-dralehilahy, dia balsama kely sy tantely kely, ditin-kazo nekota sy lota sy pistakia ary amygdala;

And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:

ary mitondra vola toraka ny teo eny an-tananareo; ary ilay vola izay naverina teo am-bavan'ny lasakanareo dia ento miverina indray; angamba fahadisoana izany.

Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:

Ary ny rahalahinareo ento ihany; dia miainga ka miverena indray ho any amin-dralehilahy;

And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

ary Andriamanitra Tsitoha anie hampahita famindram-po anareo eo anatrehan-dralehilahy, mba hampodiny ny rahalahinareo anankiray sy Benjamina. Ary izaho, raha foanana anaka aho, dia foana anaka ihany.

And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

Dia nentin'ireo lehilahy ireo ny zavatra hateriny, ary vola indroa toraka ny teo koa no nentiny teny an-tànany mbamin'i Benjamina; ary niainga izy, dia nidina tany Egypta ka tonga teo anatrehan'i Josefa.

And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

Ary Josefa, raha nahita an'i Benjamina niaraka taminy, dia nanao tamin'ny mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony hoe: Ampidiro atsy an-trano ireo lehilahy ireo, dia amonoy zavatra izy ka anaovy nahandro; fa hiara-mihinana amiko izy raha mitataovovonana ny andro.

And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

Dia nataon-dralehilahy araka izay nandidian'i Josefa; ka nampidirin-dralehilahy tao an-tranon'i Josefa ireo.

And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

Dia raiki-tahotra ireo lehilahy ireo, satria nampidirina tao an-tranon'i Josefa, ka hoy izy: Maintsy ilay vola naverina tao anatin'ny lasakantsika fahiny va no nampidirana antsika, hivarinany amintsika sy hianjerany amintsika! dia halainy ho andevo isika, ary halainy koa ny borikintsika.

And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

Dia nanatona an-dralehilahy, mpikarakara ny tao an-tranon'i Josefa, izy ka niteny taminy teo am-baravaran'ny trano nanao hoe:

And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

Mba henoy kely izahay, tompokolahy: nidina hividy hanina tokoa izahay fahiny:

And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

ary rehefa tonga teo amin'izay nandrianay izahay, dia nosokafanay ny lasakanay, ka indreo ny volanay isan-dahy teo am-bavan'ny lasakanay avy, tonga lanja avokoa ny volanay; ary efa nentinay niverina eto an-tananay izany.

And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

Ary nitondra vola hafa koa eto an-tananay izahay hamidy hanina: tsy fantatray izay nanao ny volanay tao anatin'ny lasakanay.

And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

Ary hoy izy: Matokia ianareo, fa aza matahotra; Andriamanitrareo, dia Andriamanitry ny rainareo, no nanome anareo harena tao anatin'ny lasakanareo; ny volanareo dia efa tonga tatỳ amiko ihany. Dia namoaka an'i Simeona ho eo aminy izy.

And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.

Ary nampidirin-dralehilahy tao an-tranon'i Josefa ireo olona ireo ka nomeny rano, dia nanasa tongotra izy, ary ny borikiny nomeny hanina koa.

And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.

Dia nandamina ny zavatra hateriny izy mandra-pihavin'i Josefa rehefa mitataovovonana ny andro; fa efa reny fa eo no hihinanany hanina.

And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

Ary rehefa tonga tao an-trano Josefa, dia nampidirin'izy mirahalahy avy ho ao an-trano mba hatolotra azy ireo zavatra efa nentiny, dia niankohoka tamin'ny tany teo anatrehany izy.

And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?

Ary Josefa nanontany ny toeny ka nanao hoe: Tsara ihany va ny rainareo, ilay lahy antitra nolazainareo? mbola velona ihany va izy?

And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.

Dia hoy izy: Tsara ihany ny mpanomponao rainay; mbola velona ihany izy. Dia niondrika izy ireo ka niankohoka.

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.

Ary Josefa nanopy ny masony ka nahita an'i Benjamina rahalahiny, zanakalahin'ny reniny, dia hoy izy: Io va no zandrinareo faralahy, izay nolazainareo tamiko? Sady hoy koa izy: Andriamanitra anie hanisy soa anao, anaka

And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.

Dia niala faingana Josefa, fa nangorakoraka ny fony noho ny rahalahiny, ka nitady izay hitomaniany izy; dia niditra tao an-efi-trano izy ka nitomany tao.

And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.

Ary rehefa nanasa ny tavany izy, dia nivoaka; ary nanindry ny fangorakoraky ny fony izy ka nanao hoe: Ento ny nahandro.

And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

Dia narosony mitokana ny ho an'i Josefa, ary mitokana ny ho an'ny rahalahiny, ary mitokana koa ny ho an'ny Egyptiana izay nihinana teo aminy, satria ny Egyptiana tsy mahazo miara-komana amin'ny Hebreo, fa fahavetavetana amin'ny Egyptiana izany.

And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.

Dia nipetraka teo anatrehany izy, ny lahimatoa araka ny fizokiany, ary ny faralahy araka ny fizandriany; dia samy talanjona ka nifampijerijery izy.

And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.

Ary samy nitondrana anjara-hanina avy teo anoloan'i Josefa izy mirahalahy avy; kanefa ny anjara-hanin'i Benjamina dia indimy toraka ny anjaran-drery tamin'izy rehetra. Dia niara-nisotro sy nivoky divay teo aminy izy.
