Genesis 43 - Listen Online

¹ ÌYAN na si mú ni ilẹ na gidigidi.

¹ And the famine was sore in the land.

² O si ṣe, nigbati nwọn jẹ ọkà ti nwọn ti múbọ̀ Egipti wá tán, baba wọn wi fun wọn pe, Ẹ tun lọ irà onjẹ diẹ fun wa wá.

² 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.

³ Judah si wi fun u pe, ọkunrin na tẹnumọ́ ọ gidigidi fun wa pe, Ẹnyin kò gbọdọ ri oju mi, bikoṣepe arakunrin nyin ba pẹlu nyin.

³ 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.

⁴ Bi iwọ o ba rán arakunrin wa pẹlu wa, awa o sọkalẹ lọ lati rà onjẹ fun ọ:

⁴ If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

⁵ Ṣugbọn bi iwọ ki yio ba rán a, awa ki yio sọkalẹ lọ: nitoriti ọkunrin na wi fun wa pe, Ẹnyin ki yio ri oju mi, bikoṣe arakunrin nyin ba pẹlu nyin.

⁵ 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.

⁶ Israeli si wipe, Ẽṣe ti ẹnyin fi hùwa buburu bẹ̃ si mi, ti ẹnyin fi wi fun ọkunrin na pe, ẹnyin ní arakunrin kan pẹlu?

⁶ And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?

⁷ Nwọn si wipe, ọkunrin na bère timọtimọ niti awa tikara wa, ati niti ibatan wa, wipe, Baba nyin wà sibẹ̀? ẹnyin li arakunrin miran? awa si wi fun u bi ọ̀rọ wọnyi: awa o ti ṣe le mọ̀ daju pe yio wipe, Mú arakunrin nyin sọkalẹ wá?

⁷ 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?

⁸ Judah si wi fun Israeli baba rẹ̀ pe, Rán ọdọmọde na ba mi lọ, awa o si dide, a o lọ; ki awa ki o le yè, ki a má si ṣe kú, ati awa ati iwọ, ati awọn ọmọ wẹrẹ wa.

⁸ 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.

⁹ Emi ni yio ṣe onigbọwọ rẹ̀: li ọwọ́ mi ni iwọ o bère rẹ̀; bi emi kò ba mú u pada fun ọ wá, ki nsi mu u duro niwaju rẹ, njẹ emi ni yio rù ẹbi na lailai.

⁹ 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:

¹⁰ Bikoṣepe bi awa ti nṣe ilọra, awa iba sa ti pada bọ̀ lẹrinkeji nisisiyi.

¹⁰ For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.

¹¹ Israeli baba wọn si wi fun wọn pe, Njẹ bi bẹ̃ ba ni, eyi ni ki ẹ ṣe, ẹ mú ninu ãyo eso ilẹ yi, sinu ohun-èlo nyin, ki ẹ si mú ọrẹ lọ fun ọkunrin na, ikunra diẹ, ati oyin diẹ, ati turari, ojia, eso pupa, ati eso almondi:

¹¹ 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:

¹² Ki ẹ si mú owo miran li ọwọ́ nyin; ati owo ti a mú pada wá li ẹnu àpo nyin, ẹ si tun mú u li ọwọ́ lọ; bọya o le ṣe èṣi:

¹² 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:

¹³ Ẹ mú arakunrin nyin pẹlu, ẹ si dide, ẹ tun pada tọ̀ ọkunrin na lọ:

¹³ Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:

¹⁴ Ki Ọlọrun Olodumare ki o si fun nyin li ãnu niwaju ọkunrin na, ki o le rán arakunrin nyin ọhún wá, ati Benjamini. Bi a ba gbà mi li ọmọ, a gbà mi li ọmọ.

¹⁴ 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.

¹⁵ Awọn ọkunrin na si mú ọrẹ na, nwọn si mú iṣẹ́po owo meji li ọwọ́ wọn, ati Benjamini; nwọn si dide, nwọn si sọkalẹ lọ si Egipti, nwọn si duro niwaju Josefu.

¹⁵ 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.

¹⁶ Nigbati Josefu si ri Benjamini pẹlu wọn, o wi fun olori ile rẹ̀ pe, Mú awọn ọkunrin wọnyi rè ile, ki o si pa ẹran, ki o si pèse: nitori ti awọn ọkunrin wọnyi yio ba mi jẹun li ọjọkanri.

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁷ Ọkunrin na si ṣe bi Josefu ti wi; ọkunrin na si mú awọn ọkunrin na lọ si ile Josefu.

¹⁷ And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

¹⁸ Awọn ọkunrin na si mbẹ̀ru, nitori ti a mú wọn wá si ile Josefu; nwọn si wipe, Nitori owo ti a mú pada sinu àpo wa li akọ́wa li a ṣe mú wa wọle; ki o le fẹ wa lẹfẹ, ki o si le kọlù wa, ki o si le kó wa ṣe ẹrú ati awọn kẹtẹkẹtẹ wa.

¹⁸ 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.

¹⁹ Nwọn si sunmọ iriju ile Josefu, nwọn si bá a sọ̀rọ li ẹnu-ọ̀na ile na,

¹⁹ And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

²⁰ Nwọn si wipe, Alagba, nitõtọ li awa sọkalẹ wá ni iṣaju lati rà onjẹ:

²⁰ And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

²¹ O si ṣe, nigbati awa dé ile-èro, ti awa tú àpo wa, si kiyesi i, owo olukuluku wà li ẹnu àpo rẹ̀, owo wa ni pípe ṣánṣan: awa si tun mú u li ọwọ́ pada wá.

²¹ 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.

²² Owo miran li awa si mú li ọwọ́ wa sọkalẹ wá lati rà onjẹ: awa kò mọ̀ ẹniti o fi owo wa sinu àpo wa.

²² And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

²³ O si wi fun wọn pe, Alafia ni fun nyin, ẹ má bẹ̀ru: Ọlọrun nyin ati Ọlọrun baba nyin, li o fun nyin ni iṣura ninu àpo nyin: owo nyin dé ọwọ́ mi. O si mú Simeoni jade tọ̀ wọn wá.

²³ 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.

²⁴ Ọkunrin na si mú awọn ọkunrin na wá si ile Josefu, o si fun wọn li omi, nwọn si wẹ̀ ẹsẹ̀ wọn; o si fun awọn kẹtẹkẹtẹ wọn li ohun jijẹ.

²⁴ 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.

²⁵ Nwọn si ti mú ọrẹ na silẹ dè atibọ̀ Josefu lọsán: nitori ti nwọn gbọ́ pe nwọn o jẹun nibẹ̀.

²⁵ And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.

²⁶ Nigbati Josefu si wọlé, nwọn si mú ọrẹ ti o wà li ọwọ́ wọn fun u wá sinu ile, nwọn si tẹriba fun u ni ilẹ.

²⁶ 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.

²⁷ On si bère alafia wọn, o si wipe, Alafia ki baba nyin wà, arugbo na ti ẹnyin wi? o wà lãye sibẹ̀?

²⁷ And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?

²⁸ Nwọn si dahun pe, Ara baba wa, iranṣẹ rẹ le, o wà sibẹ̀. Nwọn si tẹri wọn ba, nwọn si bù ọlá fun u.

²⁸ And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.

²⁹ O si gbé oju rẹ̀ soke, o si ri Benjamini, aburo rẹ̀, ọmọ iya rẹ̀, o si wipe, Abikẹhin nyin na ti ẹnyin wi fun mi li eyi? o si wipe, Ki Ọlọrun ki o ṣe ojurere si ọ, ọmọ mi.

²⁹ 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.

³⁰ Josefu si yara; nitori ti inu yọ́ ọ si aburo rẹ̀: o wá ibi ti yio gbé sọkun; o si bọ́ si iyẹwu, o si sọkun nibẹ̀.

³⁰ 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.

³¹ O si bọju rẹ̀, o si jade; o si mú oju dá, o si wipe, Ẹ gbé onjẹ kalẹ.

³¹ And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.

³² Nwọn si gbé tirẹ̀ kalẹ fun u lọ̀tọ, ati fun wọn lọ̀tọ, ati fun awọn ara Egipti ti o mbá a jẹun lọ̀tọ; nitori ti awọn ara Egipti kò gbọdọ bá awọn enia Heberu jẹun; nitori irira ni fun awọn ara Egipti.

³² 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.

³³ Nwọn si joko niwaju rẹ̀, akọ́bi gẹgẹ bi ipò ibí rẹ̀, ati abikẹhin gẹgẹ bi ipò ewe rẹ̀: ẹnu si yà awọn ọkunrin na si ara wọn.

³³ 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.

³⁴ O si bù onjẹ fun wọn lati iwaju rẹ̀ lọ: ṣugbọn onjẹ Benjamini jù ti ẹnikẹni wọn lẹrinmarun. Nwọn si mu, nwọn si bá a ṣe ariya.

³⁴ 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.
