Baganda ba Yusufu Bajja e Misiri
42 (A)Yakobo bwe yategeera nga mu Misiri eriyo emmere, n’agamba batabani be nti, “Lwaki mutunula butunuzi? 2 (B)Mpulidde nti mu Misiri eriyo emmere, muserengete mutugulireyo emmere, tube balamu, tuleme okufa.”
3 Awo baganda ba Yusufu ekkumi ne baserengeta e Misiri okugula emmere. 4 (C)Kyokka Yakobo n’atasindika Benyamini, muto wa Yusufu wamu ne baganda be kubanga yatya nti akabi kayinza okumutuukako. 5 (D)Bwe batyo batabani ba Isirayiri ne bajja mu Misiri wamu n’abalala abajja okugula emmere, kubanga ensi ya Kanani yali ejjudde enjala.
Yusufu Asanga Baganda be
6 (E)Mu kiseera ekyo Yusufu ye yali afuga Misiri; nga y’aguza abantu emmere. Awo baganda be ne bajja ne bamuvuunamira. 7 (F)Yusufu n’abalaba n’abategeera, wabula n’abayisa nga b’atamanyi n’ayogera nabo n’obukambwe. N’ababuuza nti, “Muva wa?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tuva mu nsi ya Kanani, tuzze kugula mmere.”
8 (G)Bw’atyo Yusufu n’ategeera baganda be kyokka bo ne batamutegeera. 9 (H)Awo Yusufu n’ajjukira ebirooto bye ku bo. N’abagamba nti, “Muli bakessi; muzze kuketta nsi yaffe mulabe bw’eri ennafu.” 10 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Nedda mukama waffe; abaddu bo tuzze kugula mmere. 11 Ffenna tuli batabani ba musajja omu, tuli basajja ba mazima. Abaddu bo tetuli bakessi.” 12 Ye n’abaddamu nti, “Nedda muzze kulaba obunafu bw’ensi yaffe bwe buli.” 13 (I)Ne bamuddamu nti, “Abaddu bo tuli kkumi na babiri, tuli baana ba muntu omu mu nsi ya Kanani, laba muto waffe n’olwa leero ali ne kitaffe, n’omulala yafa.”
14 Naye Yusufu n’alumiriza nti, “Kiri nga bwe mbagambye, muli bakessi. 15 (J)Nzija kubategeerera ku kino, ndayidde obulamu bwa Falaawo temujja kuva wano, okuggyako nga muto wammwe aleeteddwa wano. 16 (K)Mutume omu ku mmwe, aleete muganda wammwe, mwe mubeere mu kkomera, ebigambo byammwe byetegerezebwe obanga ddala bye mwogedde bya mazima. Oba si ekyo ndayidde obulamu bwa Falaawo, muli bakessi.” 17 (L)Awo n’abateeka bonna mu kkomera okumala ennaku ssatu.
18 (M)Ku lunaku olwokusatu Yusufu n’abagamba nti, “Mukole bwe muti okuwonya obulamu bwammwe, kubanga ntya Katonda; 19 obanga ddala muli basajja b’amazima, omu ku baganda bammwe asigale ng’asibiddwa mu kkomera, abalala mugende mutwalire abantu bammwe emmere, 20 (N)mundeetere muto wammwe, olwo ebigambo byammwe bikakasibwe muleme okufa.” Awo ne bakola bwe batyo.
21 (O)Awo ne bagambagana nti, “Ddala tuliko omusango gwa muganda waffe, kubanga twalaba nga mweraliikirivu, bwe yatwegayirira ne tutamuwuliriza; akabi kano kyekavudde katutuukako.” 22 (P)Lewubeeni kwe kubaddamu nti, “Nnabagamba muleme kukola kabi ku mulenzi, nga mmwe temumpuliriza; kale omusaayi gwe kyeguva gutuwalanwako.”
23 Ne batamanya nti Yusufu ategedde bye boogedde, kubanga bayogeranga naye nga bayita mu mutaputa. 24 (Q)Awo Yusufu n’atunula ebbali n’akaaba, ate n’akyuka gye bali n’ayogera nabo. Awo n’atwala Simyoni n’amusiba nga balaba. 25 (R)N’alagira bajjuze ensawo zaabwe eŋŋaano, era bazze ensimbi za buli omu mu nsawo ye, baweebwe n’entanda; ne bibakolerwa. 26 Awo ne batikka endogoyi zaabwe eŋŋaano ne bagenda.
27 (S)Naye omu ku bo bwe yasumulula ensawo ye okuliisa endogoyi ye nga bali mu kifo mwe baasula, n’alaba ensimbi ze ku mumwa gw’ensawo; 28 (T)n’agamba baganda be nti, “Ensimbi zange baazinzirizza, ziizino mu kamwa k’ensawo yange!” Ekyo ne kibeeralikiriza, buli omu n’atandika okutya, nga bwe bagamba nti, “Kiki kino Katonda ky’atukoze!”
Batabani ba Yakobo Bamutegeeza
29 Bwe baakomawo mu nsi ya Kanani eri Yakobo kitaabwe ne bamutegeeza byonna ebyababaako, nga bagamba nti, 30 (U)“Omusajja omufuzi w’ensi y’e Misiri yayogera naffe n’obukambwe era n’atuyisa nga abaali bagenze okuketta ensi ye. 31 (V)Naye ne tumugamba nti, Tuli basajja b’amazima, tetuli bakessi, 32 tuli abooluganda kumi na babiri, baana ba muntu omu, munnaffe yafa, ne muto waffe olwa leero ali ne kitaffe mu nsi ya Kanani.
33 (W)“Awo omusajja oyo omufuzi w’ensi n’atugamba nti, ‘Ku kino kwennaategeerera nga muli beesigwa: muleke wano omu ku baganda bammwe, mutwale eŋŋaano olw’enjala eri mu maka gammwe. 34 (X)Mundeetere muto wammwe, kwe nnaategeerera nga temuli bakessi, muli basajja b’amazima, olwo ne ndyoka mbawa muganda wammwe, mulyoke mugule emmere mu nsi eno.’ ”
35 (Y)Bwe baatuuka eka, buli eyafukumulanga ensawo ye, laba ng’omuvumbo gw’ensimbi ze mweziri. Awo bo ne kitaabwe bwe baalaba emivumbo gy’ensimbi ne batya. 36 (Z)Yakobo kitaabwe n’abagamba nti, “Munzigyeko abaana bange: Yusufu taliiwo, ne Simyoni taliiwo ne kaakano mwagala muntwaleko Benyamini!”
37 Awo Lewubeeni n’agamba kitaawe nti, “Ottanga batabani bange bombi, bwe sirikomyawo Benyamini gy’oli; mumpe, nange ndimukomyawo gy’oli.”
38 (AA)Naye Yakobo n’agamba nti, “Mutabani wange tajja kuserengeta nammwe, kubanga muganda we yafa, era ye y’asigalawo yekka. Akabi bwe kalimutuukako mu lugendo lwe mugendako, muliserengesa envi zange emagombe nga nkyali munakuwavu.”

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)”

42 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
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 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
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 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 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
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 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
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 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
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 And he put them all together into ward three days.
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
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 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
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 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 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
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 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 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
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 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 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
