1 NIGBATI Jakobu si ri pe ọkà wà ni Egipti, Jakobu wi fun awọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pe, Eṣe ti ẹnyin fi nwò ara nyin li oju?

1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

2 O si wipe, Wò o, mo gbọ́ pe ọkà mbẹ ni Egipti: ẹ sọkalẹ lọ sibẹ̀, ki ẹ si rà fun wa lati ibẹ̀ wá; ki awa ki o le yè, ki a máṣe kú.

2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.

3 Awọn arakunrin Josefu mẹwẹwa si sọkalẹ lọ lati rà ọkà ni Egipti.

3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.

4 Ṣugbọn Jakobu kò rán Benjamini arakunrin Josefu pẹlu awọn arakunrin rẹ̀; nitori ti o wipe, Ki ibi ki o má ba bá a.

4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.

5 Awọn ọmọ Israeli si wá irà ọkà ninu awọn ti o wá: nitori ìyan na mú ni ilẹ Kenaani.

5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6 Josefu li o si ṣe balẹ ilẹ na, on li o ntà fun gbogbo awọn enia ilẹ na; awọn arakunrin Josefu si wá, nwọn si tẹ̀ ori wọn ba fun u, nwọn dojubolẹ.

6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.

7 Josefu si ri awọn arakunrin rẹ̀, o si mọ̀ wọn, ṣugbọn o fi ara rẹ̀ ṣe àjeji fun wọn, o si sọ̀rọ akọ si wọn: o si wi fun wọn pe, Nibo li ẹnyin ti wá? nwọn si wipe, Lati ilẹ Kenaani lati rà onjẹ.

7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

8 Josefu si mọ̀ awọn arakunrin rẹ̀, ṣugbọn awọn kò mọ̀ ọ.

8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

9 Josefu si ranti alá wọnni ti o ti lá si wọn, o si wi fun wọn pe, Amí li ẹnyin; lati ri ìhoho ilẹ yi li ẹnyin ṣe wá.

9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

10 Nwọn si wi fun u pe, Bẹ̃kọ, oluwa mi, ṣugbọn lati rà onjẹ li awọn iranṣẹ rẹ ṣe wá.

10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.

11 Ọmọ ẹnikan na ni gbogbo wa iṣe; olõtọ enia li awa, awa iranṣẹ rẹ ki iṣe amí.

11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.

12 O si wi fun wọn pe, Bẹ̃kọ, ṣugbọn lati ri ìhoho ilẹ li ẹ ṣe wá.

12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

13 Nwọn si wipe, Arakunrin mejila li awa iranṣẹ rẹ, ọmọ ẹnikan na ni ilẹ Kenaani: si wò o, eyi abikẹhin si wà lọdọ baba wa loni-oloni, ọkan kò si sí.

13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

14 Josefu si wi fun wọn pe, On na li eyiti mo wi fun nyin pe, Amí li ẹnyin:

14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:

15 Eyi bayi li a o fi ridi nyin, nipa ẹmi Farao bi ẹnyin o ti lọ nihin, bikoṣepe arakunrin abikẹhin nyin wá ihinyi.

15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.

16 Ẹ rán ẹnikan ninu nyin, ki o si mú arakunrin nyin wá, a o si pa nyin mọ́ ninu túbu, ki a le ridi ọ̀rọ nyin, bi otitọ wà ninu nyin: bikoṣe bẹ̃, ẹmi Farao bi amí ki ẹnyin iṣe.

16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.

17 O si kó gbogbo wọn pọ̀ sinu túbu ni ijọ́ mẹta.

17 And he put them all together into ward three days.

18 Josefu si wi fun wọn ni ijọ́ kẹta pe, Ẹ ṣe eyi ki ẹ si yè; nitori emi bẹ̀ru Ọlọrun.

18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:

19 Bi ẹnyin ba ṣe olõtọ enia, ki a mú ọkan ninu awọn arakunrin nyin dè ni ile túbu nyin: ẹ lọ, ẹ mú ọkà lọ nitori ìyan ile nyin.

19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:

20 Ṣugbọn ẹ mú arakunrin nyin abikẹhin fun mi wá; bẹ̃li a o si mọ̀ ọ̀rọ nyin li otitọ, ẹ ki yio si kú. Nwọn si ṣe bẹ̃.

20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

21 Nwọn si wi fun ara wọn pe, Awa jẹbi nitõtọ nipa ti arakunrin wa, niti pe, a ri àrokan ọkàn rẹ̀, nigbati o bẹ̀ wa, awa kò si fẹ́ igbọ́; nitorina ni iyọnu yi ṣe bá wa.

21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

22 Reubeni si da wọn li ohùn pe, Emi kò wi fun nyin pe, Ẹ máṣe ṣẹ̀ si ọmọde na; ẹ kò si fẹ̀ igbọ́? si wò o, nisisiyi, a mbère ẹ̀jẹ rẹ̀.

22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.

23 Nwọn kò si mọ̀ pe Josefu gbède wọn; nitori gbedegbẹyọ li o fi mba wọn sọ̀rọ.

23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.

24 O si yipada kuro lọdọ wọn, o si sọkun; o si tun pada tọ̀ wọn wá, o si bá wọn sọ̀rọ, o si mú Ṣimeoni ninu wọn, o si dè e li oju wọn.

24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.

25 Nigbana ni Josefu paṣẹ ki nwọn fi ọkà kún inu àpo wọn, ki nwọn si mú owo olukuluku pada sinu àpo rẹ̀, ki nwọn ki o si fun wọn li onjẹ ọ̀na; bayi li o si ṣe fun wọn.

25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.

26 Nwọn si dì ọkà lé kẹtẹkẹtẹ wọn, nwọn si lọ kuro nibẹ̀.

26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.

27 Bi ọkan ninu wọn si ti tú àpo rẹ̀ ni ile-èro lati fun kẹtẹkẹtẹ rẹ̀ li onjẹ, o kofiri owo rẹ̀; si wò o, o wà li ẹnu àpo rẹ̀.

27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.

28 O si wi fun awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ pe, Nwọn mú owo mi pada; si wò o, o tilẹ wà li àpo mi: àiya si fò wọn, ẹ̀ru si bà wọn, nwọn nwi fun ara wọn pe, Kili eyiti Ọlọrun ṣe si wa yi?

28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?

29 Nwọn si dé ọdọ Jakobu baba wọn ni ilẹ Kenaani, nwọn si ròhin ohun gbogbo ti o bá wọn fun u wipe,

29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,

30 Ọkunrin na ti iṣe oluwa ilẹ na, sọ̀rọ lile si wa, o si fi wa pè amí ilẹ na.

30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

31 A si wi fun u pe, Olõtọ, enia li awa; awa ki iṣe amí:

31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:

32 Arakunrin mejila li awa, ọmọ baba wa; ọkan kò sí, abikẹhin si wà lọdọ baba wa ni ilẹ Kenaani loni-oloni.

32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

33 Ọkunrin na, oluwa ilẹ na, si wi fun wa pe, Nipa eyi li emi o fi mọ̀ pe olõtọ enia li ẹnyin; ẹ fi ọkan ninu awọn arakunrin nyin silẹ lọdọ mi, ki ẹ si mú onjẹ nitori ìyan ile nyin, ki ẹ si ma lọ.

33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:

34 Ẹ si mú arakunrin nyin abikẹhin nì tọ̀ mi wá: nigbana li emi o mọ̀ pe ẹnyin ki iṣe amí, bikoṣe olõtọ enia: emi o si fi arakunrin nyin lé nyin lọwọ, ẹnyin o si ma ṣòwo ni ilẹ yi.

34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.

35 O si ṣe, bi nwọn ti ndà àpo wọn, wò o, ìdi owo olukuluku wà ninu àpo rẹ̀: nigbati awọn ati baba wọn si ri ìdi owo wọnni, ẹ̀ru bà wọn.

35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.

36 Jakobu baba wọn si wi fun wọn pe, Emi li ẹnyin gbà li ọmọ: Josefu kò sí; Simeoni kò si sí; ẹ si nfẹ́ mú Benjamini lọ: lara mi ni gbogbo nkan wọnyi pọ̀ si.

36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.

37 Reubeni si wi fun baba rẹ̀ pe, Pa ọmọ mi mejeji bi emi kò ba mú u fun ọ wá: fi i lé mi lọwọ, emi o si mú u pada fun ọ wá.

37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.

38 On si wipe, Ọmọ mi ki yio bá nyin sọkalẹ lọ; nitori arakunrin rẹ̀ ti kú, on nikan li o si kù: bi ibi ba bá a li ọ̀na ti ẹnyin nlọ, nigbana li ẹnyin o fi ibinujẹ mú ewú mi lọ si isà-okú.

38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
