De eerste reis van Jozefs broers naar Egypte
42 Jakob hoorde dat er in Egypte graan was. Hij zei tegen zijn zonen: "Waarom zitten jullie elkaar aan te kijken? 2 Ik heb gehoord dat er in Egypte graan is. Ga daar graan voor ons kopen, dan blijven we in leven. Maar anders sterven we van de honger." 3 Toen reisden tien van Jozefs broers naar Egypte om graan te kopen. 4 Maar Jakob liet Benjamin, Jozefs broer, niet met de anderen meegaan. Want hij dacht: "Stel dat hem iets overkomt." 5 Zo kwamen ook de zonen van Israël graan kopen. Want er was ook hongersnood in Kanaän.
6 Jozef was de heerser van het land. Hij verkocht zelf het graan aan de mensen. Toen zijn broers aangekomen waren, bogen ze zich diep voor hem. 7 Zodra Jozef zijn broers zag, herkende hij hen. Maar hij deed alsof hij hen niet kende en zei kortaf tegen hen: "Waar komen jullie vandaan?" Ze antwoordden: "Uit Kanaän. We komen eten kopen." 8 Jozef herkende zijn broers wel, maar zij herkenden hem niet. 9 Toen herinnerde Jozef zich wat hij over hen gedroomd had. Hij zei tegen hen: "Jullie zijn spionnen. Jullie zijn gekomen om te kijken waar jullie gemakkelijk het land kunnen binnendringen." 10 Maar ze zeiden tegen hem: "Nee heer, we zijn gekomen om eten te kopen. 11 We zijn allemaal zonen van één man. We zijn eerlijke mensen. We zijn geen spionnen." 12 Maar hij zei tegen hen: "Nee, jullie zijn gekomen om te kijken waar jullie gemakkelijk het land kunnen binnendringen." 13 Toen zeiden ze: "Vroeger waren we met z'n twaalven. Twaalf zonen van één man in Kanaän. Onze jongste broer is nog bij onze vader, en één broer leeft niet meer." 14 Maar Jozef zei tegen hen: "Het is zoals ik jullie heb gezegd: jullie zijn spionnen. 15 Ik zweer bij de farao dat ik zal uitzoeken of jullie de waarheid spreken. Jullie mogen hier pas vertrekken als jullie jongste broer hier is gekomen. 16 Stuur dus één van jullie naar huis om jullie broer te halen. De anderen zullen hier gevangen blijven. Zo zal ik te weten komen of jullie de waarheid hebben gesproken. Maar als jullie broer niet komt, zijn jullie spionnen, dat zweer ik bij de farao." 17 En hij sloot hen allemaal drie dagen op in de gevangenis.
18 Na drie dagen zei Jozef tegen hen: "Doe wat ik zeg als jullie in leven willen blijven. Ik heb ontzag voor God. 19 Als jullie eerlijke mensen zijn, laat dan één van jullie in de gevangenis achterblijven. De anderen mogen naar huis gaan en graan meenemen. Dan hoeven jullie gezinnen geen honger te hebben. 20 Maar daarna moeten jullie je jongste broer meebrengen. Dan zal ik kunnen zien of jullie de waarheid hebben gesproken. Doen jullie dat niet, dan zal ik jullie laten doden." 21 Ze beloofden het hem. En ze zeiden tegen elkaar: "Luister, nu worden we gestraft voor wat we onze broer hebben aangedaan. Want we zagen hoe bang hij was. Hij smeekte ons om medelijden. Maar we hebben niet naar hem geluisterd." 22 Ruben zei: "Ik had jullie toch gezegd dat jullie de jongen geen kwaad moesten doen? Maar jullie wilden niet naar me luisteren. Nu is dit onze straf." 23 Ze wisten niet dat Jozef hen verstond, want hij gebruikte een tolk als hij met hen sprak. 24 Toen hij dat hoorde, liep Jozef bij hen weg en huilde. Daarna kwam hij weer terug en sprak met hen. Hij koos Simeon uit en liet hem voor de ogen van zijn broers vastbinden.
De broers gaan met graan naar huis
25 Jozef gaf bevel de zakken van zijn broers met graan te vullen. Ook zei hij dat het geld waarmee ze hadden betaald, er bovenop gelegd moest worden. Verder liet hij eten voor onderweg meegeven. 26 De broers laadden het graan op de ezels en vertrokken. 27 's Avonds gingen ze een herberg in om de nacht door te brengen. Eén van hen maakte zijn zak open om zijn ezel te eten te geven. Toen zag hij bovenop het graan het geld liggen. 28 Hij zei tegen zijn broers: "Kijk eens, daar is mijn geld! Het ligt bovenin de zak!" Toen werden ze vreselijk bang. Ze keken elkaar bevend aan. Ze zeiden tegen elkaar: "Wat heeft God ons nu aangedaan?"
29 Ze reisden terug naar hun vader Jakob in Kanaän. Ze vertelden hem wat er allemaal was gebeurd. 30 Ze zeiden: "Die man, de heer van het land, was heel kortaf tegen ons. Hij zei dat we spionnen waren. 31 Toen zeiden we tegen hem: 'Wij zijn eerlijke mensen. We zijn geen spionnen. 32 We waren met z'n twaalven. Twaalf zonen van één vader. Eén broer leeft niet meer, en de jongste is nog bij onze vader in Kanaän.' 33 Toen zei die man tegen ons: 'Jullie moeten bewijzen dat jullie eerlijke mensen zijn. Daarom blijft één van jullie hier. Jullie mogen graan meenemen voor jullie gezinnen en naar huis gaan. 34 Daarna brengen jullie je jongste broer bij mij. Dan weet ik dat jullie geen spionnen zijn, maar eerlijke mensen. Dan geef ik jullie je broer terug en mogen jullie vrij door het land reizen.' "
35 Toen maakten ze hun zakken leeg. En ze ontdekten dat bovenin elke zak, op het graan, de geldzak met hun geld lag. Ze werden bang. 36 Hun vader Jakob zei tegen hen: "Jullie beroven mij van mijn kinderen! Jozef is er niet meer. Simeon is in Egypte. Benjamin willen jullie meenemen. Mij overkomt ook alleen maar ellende!" 37 Toen zei Ruben tegen zijn vader: "Als ik Benjamin niet mee terugbreng, mag u mijn twee zonen doden. Vertrouw me. Ik zal ervoor zorgen dat hij bij u terugkomt." 38 Maar Jakob zei: "Nee, mijn zoon gaat niet met jullie mee. Zijn broer is al dood en nu is hij als enige overgebleven.[a] Als hem op reis iets overkomt, zal ik sterven van verdriet. En dat zal dan jullie schuld zijn!"

Yuusuf Walaalihiis Oo Masar Aaday
42 Haddaba Yacquub wuxuu arkay in hadhuudh laga helo Masar, markaasuu Yacquub wiilashiisii ku yidhi, War maxaa midkiinba midka kale u fiirinayaa? 2 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Bal ogaada, waxaan maqlay in hadhuudh laga helo Masar. Bal xaggaas u dhaadhaca, oo halkaas wax inooga soo iibiya, inaynu noolaanno oo aynaan dhimanin. 3 Markaasaa Yuusuf tobankiisii walaal waxay u tageen Masar inay hadhuudh ka soo iibsadaan. 4 Laakiinse Benyaamiin oo ahaa Yuusuf walaalkiis Yacquub ma uu raacinin walaalihiis; waayo, wuxuu isyidhi, Waaba intaasoo belaayo ku dhacdaa. 5 Markaasaa wiilashii Israa'iil waxay u yimaadeen inay wax iibsadaan, iyagoo la socda kuwii yimid, waayo, abaartu dalkii Kancaanna way ka dhacday. 6 Yuusufna wuxuu ahaa taliyihii dalka, isaguna wuxuu ahaa kii wax ka iibin jiray dadka dalka oo dhan. Markaasay Yuusuf walaalihiis u yimaadeen isagii, oo intay u wada sujuudeen ayay wejiga dhulka wada saareen. 7 Yuusufna walaalihiis wuu arkay, wuuna gartay, laakiin wuxuu isaga dhigay sidii nin qalaad, oo intuu si qallafsan ula hadlay ayuu wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, War xaggee baad ka timaadeen? Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu ka nimid dalka Kancaan si aannu cunto u iibsanno. 8 Yuusufna wuu gartay walaalihiis laakiinse iyagu ma ay garan isagii. 9 Markaasaa Yuusuf xusuustay riyooyinkii iyaga ku saabsanaa oo uu ku riyooday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Basaasyaad tihiin, oo waxaad u timaadeen inaad aragtaan dhulka abaarnimadiisa. 10 Iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen isagii, Maya, sayidkayagiiyow, laakiinse annagoo addoommadaada ah waxaannu u nimid inaannu cunto iibsanno. 11 Kulligayo isku nin wiilashiis baannu nahay, oo waxaannu nahay niman daacad ah, oo annagoo addoommadaada ah basaasyo ma nihin. 12 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Maya, laakiinse waxaad u timaadeen inaad aragtaan dhulka abaarnimadiisa. 13 Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Annagoo ah addoommadaada waxaannu nahay laba iyo toban walaalo ah, oo waxaannu nahay nin jooga dalka Kancaan wiilashiisii; oo bal eeg, kii noogu yaraa wuxuu maanta la joogaa aabbahayo, midna maba joogo. 14 Markaasuu Yuusuf iyagii ku yidhi, Taasu waa tii aan idinkula hadlay, anigoo leh, Basaasyaad tihiin. 15 Haddaba tan baa laydinku tijaabin doonaa; nolosha Fircoon baan ku dhaartay inaydaan halkan ka tegi doonin, in walaalkiinnii yaraa halkan yimaado mooyaane. 16 Mid idinka mid ah dira, oo ha keeno walaalkiin, idinkuna waad xidhnaan doontaan, in la tijaabiyo hadalkiinna, bal inay runi idinku jirto iyo in kale, haddii kalese hubaal nolosha Fircoon baan ku dhaartay inaad basaasyo tihiin. 17 Markaasuu kulligood muddo saddex maalmood ah wada xabbisay. 18 Kolkaasaa maalintii saddexaad Yuusuf iyagii ku yidhi, Tan yeela, oo waad noolaan doontaan, waayo, anigu Ilaah baan ka cabsadaa. 19 Haddaad niman daacad ah tihiin, walaalihiinna midkood ha ku xidhnaado guriga xabsigiinna; laakiinse idinku taga, oo hadhuudh u geeya reerihiinna abaaraysan. 20 Walaalkiinna idiinku wada yar ii keena; sidaasuu hadalkiinnu ku rumoobi doonaa, mana aad dhiman doontaan. Iyana sidii bay yeeleen. 21 Markaasay waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Runtii walaalkeen eed baan ka galnay, maxaa yeelay, waxaynu aragnay naftiisii dhibaatada ku jirtay, markuu ina baryay, mana aynu maqlin, sidaas daraaddeed ayay dhibaatadanu inoogu dhacday. 22 Markaasaa Ruubeen u jawaabay iyagii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Miyaanan idinla hadlin oo idinku odhan, Wiilka ha ku dembaabina, oo sow ima aydin maqli waayin? Haddaba bal eega, dhiiggiisii baa laydin weyddiistaye. 23 Oo iyana ma ay ogayn in Yuusuf gartay iyaga; waayo, turjumaan baa kala dhex joogay. 24 Markaasuu ka sii jeestay iyagii, wuuna ooyay; oo haddana intuu ku soo noqday ayuu la hadlay, oo wuxuu kala dhex baxay Simecoon, wuuna xidhay isagii iyagoo arkaya. 25 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu amray in joonyadahoodii hadhuudh looga buuxiyo, iyo in nin walba lacagtiisii loogu celiyo joonyaddiisii iyo in sahay jidka loo siiyo, oo sidii baana loo yeelay. 26 Markaasay hadhuudhkoodii dameerradoodii ku rarteen, wayna ka tageen halkaas. 27 Meeshay ku hoydeen markii uu midkood joonyaddiisii ugu furay inuu dameerkiisii cunto siiyo ayuu arkay lacagtiisii oo ku jirta joonyaddiisii afkeeda. 28 Markaasuu walaalihiis ku yidhi, Lacagtaydii waa lay soo celiyey; oo waxay ku jirtaa joonyaddayda, markaasay qalbiga ka nexeen, oo ay isku jeesteen iyagoo gariiraya, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Waa maxay waxakan Ilaah inagu sameeyey? 29 Markaasay aabbahood Yacquub ugu yimaadeen dalkii Kancaan, oo waxay isagii u sheegeen wixii ku dhacay oo dhan, iyagoo leh, 30 Ninka sayidka u ah dalka ayaa si qallafsan noola hadlay, oo wuxuu noo qaatay inaannu dalka basaasayno. 31 Oo waxaannu isagii ku nidhi, Annagu waxaannu nahay niman daacad ah; oo basaasyo ma aannu nihin. 32 Waxaannu nahay laba iyo toban walaalo ah, oo ah wiilashii aabbahayo. Mid ma joogo, kii noogu yaraana maanta dalkii Kancaan ayuu aabbahayo la joogaa. 33 Markaasaa ninkii sayidka u ahaa dalka wuxuu nagu yidhi, Inaad niman daacad ah tihiin tanaan idinku garan doonaaye; walaalihiin mid igaga taga, oo hadhuudh u qaada reerihiinna abaaraysan, oo iska taga, 34 oo ii keena walaalkiinnii idiinku wada yaraa, markaasaan garan doonaa inaydaan basaasyo ahayn, laakiinse inaad tihiin niman daacad ah. Markaasaan walaalkiin idin siin doonaa, dalkana waad ka baayacmushtari doontaan. 35 Oo waxay noqotay in markay joonyadahoodii hadhuudhkii ka shubeen, nin walba xidhmadiisii lacagta ahayd ay ugu jirtay joonyaddiisii, oo markii iyaga iyo aabbahood ay arkeen xidhmooyinkoodii lacagta ahaa ayay baqeen. 36 Markaasaa aabbahood Yacquub wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Gablan baad iga dhigteen, bal eeg, Yuusuf ma joogo, oo Simecoon ma joogo, oo haddana waxaad kaxayn doontaan Benyaamiin; waxyaalahan oo dhammu waa iga gees. 37 Markaasaa Ruubeen aabbihiis la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii aan isaga kuu keeni waayo, dil labadayda wiil. Aniga ii dhiib isaga, oo anna waan kuu soo celin doonaa. 38 Markaasuu yidhi, Wiilkaygu idinla dhaadhici maayo; waayo, walaalkiis waa dhintay, oo keligiis baa hadhay.

Joseph’s Brothers Go to Egypt
42 When (A)Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?” 2 And he said, “Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may (B)live and not die.”
3 So Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt. 4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, (C)“Lest some calamity befall him.” 5 And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was (D)in the land of Canaan.
6 Now Joseph was governor (E)over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and (F)bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. 7 Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as (G)a stranger to them and spoke [a]roughly to them. Then he said to them, “Where do you come from?”
And they said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”
8 So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. 9 Then Joseph (H)remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the [b]nakedness of the land!”
10 And they said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food. 11 We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men; your servants are not spies.”
12 But he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
13 And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and in fact, the youngest is with our father today, and one (I)is no more.”
14 But Joseph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!’ 15 In this manner you shall be tested: (J)By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. 16 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother; and you shall be [c]kept in prison, that your words may be tested to see whether there is any truth in you; or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies!” 17 So he [d]put them all together in prison (K)three days.
18 Then Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this and live, (L)for I fear God: 19 If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house; but you, go and carry grain for the famine of your houses. 20 And (M)bring your youngest brother to me; so your words will be verified, and you shall not die.”
And they did so. 21 Then they said to one another, (N)“We are truly guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded with us, and we would not hear; (O)therefore this distress has come upon us.”
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, (P)“Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy’; and you would not listen? Therefore behold, his blood is now (Q)required of us.” 23 But they did not know that Joseph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter. 24 And he turned himself away from them and (R)wept. Then he returned to them again, and talked with them. And he took (S)Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.
The Brothers Return to Canaan
25 Then Joseph (T)gave a command to fill their sacks with grain, to (U)restore every man’s money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. (V)Thus he did for them. 26 So they loaded their donkeys with the grain and departed from there. 27 But as (W)one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed at the encampment, he saw his money; and there it was, in the mouth of his sack. 28 So he said to his brothers, “My money has been restored, and there it is, in my sack!” Then their hearts [e]failed them and they were afraid, saying to one another, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 Then they went to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them, saying: 30 “The man who is lord of the land (X)spoke [f]roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. 31 But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies. 32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is with our father this day in the land of Canaan.’ 33 Then the man, the lord of the country, said to us, (Y)‘By this I will know that you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, take food for the famine of your households, and be gone. 34 And bring your (Z)youngest brother to me; so I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. I will grant your brother to you, and you may (AA)trade in the land.’ ”
35 Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that surprisingly (AB)each man’s bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid. 36 And Jacob their father said to them, “You have (AC)bereaved me: Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take (AD)Benjamin. All these things are against me.”
37 Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.”
38 But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for (AE)his brother is dead, and he is left alone. (AF)If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would (AG)bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.”

Joseph’s Brothers Go to Egypt
42 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt,(A) he said to his sons, “Why do you just keep looking at each other?” 2 He continued, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us,(B) so that we may live and not die.”(C)
3 Then ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain(D) from Egypt. 4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin,(E) Joseph’s brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to him.(F) 5 So Israel’s sons were among those who went to buy grain,(G) for there was famine in the land of Canaan(H) also.(I)
6 Now Joseph was the governor of the land,(J) the person who sold grain to all its people.(K) So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.(L) 7 As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them.(M) “Where do you come from?”(N) he asked.
“From the land of Canaan,” they replied, “to buy food.”
8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.(O) 9 Then he remembered his dreams(P) about them and said to them, “You are spies!(Q) You have come to see where our land is unprotected.”(R)
10 “No, my lord,(S)” they answered. “Your servants have come to buy food.(T) 11 We are all the sons of one man. Your servants(U) are honest men,(V) not spies.(W)”
12 “No!” he said to them. “You have come to see where our land is unprotected.”(X)
13 But they replied, “Your servants(Y) were twelve brothers, the sons of one man, who lives in the land of Canaan.(Z) The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more.”(AA)
14 Joseph said to them, “It is just as I told you: You are spies!(AB) 15 And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives,(AC) you will not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.(AD) 16 Send one of your number to get your brother;(AE) the rest of you will be kept in prison,(AF) so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth.(AG) If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!(AH)” 17 And he put them all in custody(AI) for three days.
18 On the third day, Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, for I fear God:(AJ) 19 If you are honest men,(AK) let one of your brothers stay here in prison,(AL) while the rest of you go and take grain back for your starving households.(AM) 20 But you must bring your youngest brother to me,(AN) so that your words may be verified and that you may not die.” This they proceeded to do.
21 They said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother.(AO) We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that’s why this distress(AP) has come on us.”
22 Reuben replied, “Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy?(AQ) But you wouldn’t listen! Now we must give an accounting(AR) for his blood.”(AS) 23 They did not realize(AT) that Joseph could understand them,(AU) since he was using an interpreter.
24 He turned away from them and began to weep,(AV) but then came back and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken from them and bound before their eyes.(AW)
25 Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain,(AX) to put each man’s silver back in his sack,(AY) and to give them provisions(AZ) for their journey.(BA) After this was done for them, 26 they loaded their grain on their donkeys(BB) and left.
27 At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey,(BC) and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack.(BD) 28 “My silver has been returned,” he said to his brothers. “Here it is in my sack.”
Their hearts sank(BE) and they turned to each other trembling(BF) and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”(BG)
29 When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan,(BH) they told him all that had happened to them.(BI) They said, 30 “The man who is lord over the land spoke harshly to us(BJ) and treated us as though we were spying on the land.(BK) 31 But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies.(BL) 32 We were twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in Canaan.’(BM)
33 “Then the man who is lord over the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for your starving households and go.(BN) 34 But bring your youngest brother to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men.(BO) Then I will give your brother back to you,(BP) and you can trade[a] in the land.(BQ)’”
35 As they were emptying their sacks, there in each man’s sack was his pouch of silver!(BR) When they and their father saw the money pouches, they were frightened.(BS) 36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more,(BT) and now you want to take Benjamin.(BU) Everything is against me!(BV)”
37 Then Reuben said to his father, “You may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care,(BW) and I will bring him back.”(BX)
38 But Jacob said, “My son will not go down there with you; his brother is dead(BY) and he is the only one left. If harm comes to him(BZ) on the journey you are taking, you will bring my gray head down to the grave(CA) in sorrow.(CB)”
