2 At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, aking narinig na may trigo sa Egipto: bumaba kayo roon, at bumili kayo roon ng sa ganang atin, upang tayo'y mabuhay at huwag mamatay.
2 He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us from that place, so that we may live and not die.”
4 Datapuwa't si Benjamin na kapatid ni Jose, ay hindi sinugo ni Jacob na kasama ng kaniyang mga kapatid; sapagka't aniya'y, Baka sakaling may mangyari sa kaniyang anomang kapahamakan.
4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that harm may befall him.”
6 At si Jose ang tagapamahala sa lupain; siya ang nagbibili ng trigo sa lahat ng mga tao sa lupain: at nagsidating ang mga kapatid ni Jose at nangagpatirapa sa kaniya, na ang kanilang mga mukha ay pasubasob.
6 Now Joseph was the ruler over the land; he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
7 At nakita ni Jose ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at kaniyang nangakilala, datapuwa't siya'y nagkunwaring iba sa kanila, at sila'y kinausap niya ng magilas; at sinabi sa kanila, Saan kayo nagsipanggaling? At sinabi nila, Sa lupain ng Canaan, upang bumili ng pagkain.
7 When Joseph saw his brothers he recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and spoke to them harshly. And he said to them, “Where have you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”
9 At naalaala ni Jose ang mga panaginip na kaniyang napanaginip, tungkol sa kanila, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Kayo'y mga tiktik; upang tingnan ninyo ang kahubaran ng lupain kaya kayo naparito.
9 Joseph remembered the dreams which he had about them, and said to them, “You are spies; you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land.”
13 At kanilang sinabi, Kaming iyong mga lingkod ay labing dalawang magkakapatid, na mga anak ng isa lamang lalake sa lupain ng Canaan; at, narito, ang bunso ay nasa aming ama ngayon, at ang isa'y wala na.
13 But they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers in all, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no longer alive.”
16 Suguin ninyo ang isa sa inyo, na dalhin dito ang inyong kapatid, at kayo'y mangabibilanggo; upang masubok ang inyong mga salita, kung may katotohanan sa inyo: o kung hindi alangalang sa buhay ni Faraon, ay tunay na mga tiktik kayo.
16 Send one of you that he may get your brother, while you remain confined, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you. But if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies.”
19 Kung kayo'y mga taong tapat, ay matira ang isa sa inyong magkakapatid na bilanggo sa bahay na pinagbilangguan sa inyo; datapuwa't kayo'y yumaon, magdala kayo ng trigo dahil sa kagutom sa inyong mga bahay:
19 if you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in your prison; but as for the rest of you, go, carry grain for the famine of your households,
21 At sila'y nagsabisabihan, Katotohanang tayo'y salarin tungkol sa ating kapatid, sapagka't nakita natin ang kahapisan ng kaniyang kaluluwa, nang namamanhik sa atin, at hindi natin siya dininig; kaya't dumarating sa atin ang kahapisang ito.
21 Then they said to one another, “Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us.”
22 At si Ruben ay sumagot sa kanila, na nagsasabi, Di ba nagsalita ako sa inyo, na aking sinasabi, Huwag kayong magkasala laban sa bata; at ayaw kayong makinig? kaya naman, narito, ang kaniyang dugo ay nagsasakdal.
22 Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not sin against the boy’; and you would not listen? Now comes the reckoning for his blood.”
24 At siya'y humiwalay sa kanila, at umiyak; at siya'y bumalik sa kanila, at sila'y kinausap at kinuha sa kanila si Simeon, at siya'y tinalian sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.
24 He turned away from them and wept. But when he returned to them and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.
25 Nang magkagayo'y ipinagutos ni Jose na punuin ang kanilang mga bayong ng trigo, at ibalik ang salapi ng bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang bayong, at sila'y bigyan ng mababaon sa daan: at ginawa sa kanilang gayon.
25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain and to restore every man’s money in his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. And thus it was done for them.
27 At pagbubukas ng isa ng kaniyang bayong upang bigyan ng pagkain ang kaniyang asno sa tuluyan, ay nakita niya ang kaniyang salapi; at, narito, nasa labi ng kaniyang bayong.
27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his money; and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 At sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Ang salapi ko ay nasauli; at, narito, nasa aking bayong: at kumutob ang kanilang puso; at nangagtinginan na nanganginginig, na nagsasabihan, Ano itong ginawa ng Dios sa atin?
28 Then he said to his brothers, “My money has been returned, and behold, it is even in my sack.” And their hearts sank, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
33 At sinabi sa amin ng lalaking yaon, ng panginoon sa lupain, Dito ko makikilala na kayo'y mga taong tapat: magiwan kayo sa akin ng isa sa inyong magkakapatid, at magsipagdala kayo ng trigo dahil sa kagutom sa inyong mga bahay, at kayo'y yumaon.
33 The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me and take grain for the famine of your households, and go.
34 At dalhin ninyo rito sa akin ang inyong kapatid na bunso: kung gayo'y makikilala ko, na kayo'y hindi mga tiktik, kundi kayo'y mga taong tapat: sa ganito'y isasauli ko sa inyo ang inyong kapatid at kayo'y mangangalakal sa lupain.
34 But bring your youngest brother to me that I may know that you are not spies, but honest men. I will give your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.’”
35 At nangyari na pagaalis ng laman ng kanilang mga bayong, na, narito, sa bayong ng bawa't isa ay nakalagay ang balot ng kanikaniyang salapi: at nang makita nila at ng kanilang ama ang kanilang mga balot ng salapi, ay nangatakot.
35 Now it came about as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed.
36 At sinabi sa kanila ng kanilang amang si Jacob, Inalis na ninyo sa akin ang aking mga anak: si Jose ay wala, at si Simeon ay wala, at aalisin pa ninyo si Benjamin: lahat ng bagay na ito ay laban sa akin.
36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.”
37 At nagsalita, si Ruben sa kaniyang ama, na sinasabi, Ipapatay mo ang aking dalawang anak kung siya'y hindi ko dalhin sa iyo; ibigay mo sa aking kamay, at siya'y aking ibabalik sa iyo.
37 Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my care, and I will return him to you.”
38 At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi yayaon ang aking anak na kasama ninyo; sapagka't ang kaniyang kapatid ay patay na, at siya lamang ang natitira; kung mangyari sa kaniya ang anomang kapahamakan sa daan na inyong paroroonan, ay pabababain nga ninyo ang aking mga uban sa Sheol na may kapanglawan.
38 But Jacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should befall him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”
