3 Choncho abale ake khumi a Yosefe anapita kukagula tirigu ku Igupto.

5 Choncho ana a Israeli aja anapita pamodzi ndi gulu la anzawo kukagula tirigu pakuti ku Kanaani kunalinso njala.
And the sonnes of Israell came to bye corne amonge other that came for there was derth also in the lande of Canaan.
6 Pakuti Yosefe anali nduna yayikulu yolamulira dziko la Igupto, ndiye kuti analinso amene ankagulitsa tirigu kwa anthu onse. Choncho abale ake a Yosefe nawonso anabwera, ndipo anamugwadira pansi.
And Ioseph was gouerner in the londe and solde corne to all the people of the londe. And his brethren came and fell flatt on the grounde before him.
7 Yosefe atangowaona abale ake anawazindikira, koma ananamizira kukhala ngati mlendo nawayankhula mwaukali kuwafunsa kuti, “Mwachokera kuti?” Iwo anayankha, “Ku dziko la Kanaani, tikudzagula chakudya.”
When Ioseph sawe his brethern he knewe them: But made straunge vnto them and spake rughly vnto them saynge: Whence come ye? and they sayde: out of the lande of Canaan to bye vitayle.
8 Ngakhale Yosefe anawazindikira abale ake, koma iwo sanamuzindikire.
Ioseph knewe his brethern but they knewe not him.
9 Pamenepo anakumbukira maloto aja amene analota za iwo ndipo anati, “Inu ndinu akazitape! Mwabwera kudzazonda dziko lathu kuti muone pamene palibe chitetezo.”
And Ioseph remembred his dreames which he dreamed of them and sayde vnto them: ye are spies and to se where the lande is weake is youre comynge.
10 Iwo anayankha, “Ayi mbuye wathu, antchito anufe tabwera kudzagula chakudya.
And they sayde vnto him: nay my lorde: but to bye vitayle thy seruauntes are come.
11 Tonse ndife ana a munthu mmodzi. Ndife antchito anu okhulupirika osati akazitape.”
We are all one mans sonnes and meane truely and thy seruauntes are no spies.
12 Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ayi! Inu mwabwera kudzaona pamene palibe chitetezo mʼdziko muno.”
And he sayde vnto them: nay verely but euen to se where the land is weake is youre comynge.
13 Koma iwo anayankha, “Tinalipo ana aamuna khumi ndi awiri. Abambo athu ndi mmodzi, ndipo kwathu ndi ku Kanaani. Panopo wotsiriza ali ndi abambo athu ndipo wina anamwalira.”
And they sayde: we thi seruauntes are. xij. brethern the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan. The yongest is yet with oure father and one no man woteth where he is.
14 Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Ndi momwe ndaneneramo: Inu ndinu akazitape.
Ioseph sayde vnto them that is it that I sayde vnto you that ye are surelye spies.
15 Ndiye ndikuyesani motere: Ine ndikulumbira pali Farao ndithu, inuyo simudzachoka malo ano mpaka wotsirizayo atabwera kuno.
Here by ye shall be proued. For by the lyfe of Pharao ye shall not goo hence vntyll youre yongest brother be come hither.
16 Tumizani mmodzi wa inu akamutenge mʼbale wanuyo ndipo ena nonsenu musungidwa mʼndende, kuti titsimikize ngati zimene mukunenazi ndi zoona. Apo ayi, pali Farao ndithu, inu ndinu akazitape!”
Sende therfore one off you and lett him fett youre brother and ye shalbe in preason in the meane season. And thereby shall youre wordes be proued whether there be any trueth in you: or els by the lyfe of Pharao ye are but spies.
17 Ndipo onse anawayika mʼndende kwa masiku atatu.
And he put them in warde thre dayes.
18 Pa tsiku lachitatu Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Popeza ine ndimaopa Mulungu, ndipo inuyo ngati mukufuna kukhala ndi moyo muchite izi:
And Ioseph sayde vnto the the thryd daye: This doo and lyue for I feare Gode
19 Ngati muli anthu achilungamo, mmodzi wa inu atsale mʼndende, pamene ena nonse mupite kwanu kuti muwatengere chakudya anthu akwanu kuli njalako.
Yf ye meane no hurte let one of youre brethern be bounde in the preason and goo ye and brynge the necessarie foode vnto youre housholdes
20 Mukabwere naye kuno mngʼono wanu wotsirizayo kuti titsimikizire zimene munanena kuti musafe.” Ndipo anachita zomwezo.
and brynge youre yongest brother vnto me: that youre wordes maye be beleved ad that ye dye not And they did so.
21 Iwo anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, “Ndithu ife tinalakwira mʼbale wathu uja popeza kuti ngakhale tinaona kuvutika kwake ndi kumva kulira kwake pamene ankatidandaulira kuti timuchitire chifundo, koma ife sitinamvere. Nʼchifukwa chake masautso awa atigwera.”
Than they sayde one to a nother: we haue verely synned agaynst oure brother in that we sawe the anguysh of his soull when he besought us and wold not heare him: therfore is this troubyll come apon us.
22 Rubeni anayankha, “Kodi sindinakuwuzeni kuti musamuchite kanthu mnyamata uja? Koma inu simunamvere! Tsopano tikulandira malipiro a magazi ake.”
Ruben answered the saynge: sayde I not vnto you that ye shulde not synne agaynst the lad? but ye wolde not heare And now verely see his bloude is requyred.
23 Koma sanadziwe kuti Yosefe ankawamva popeza kuti ankagwiritsa ntchito wotanthauzira poyankhula naye.
They were not aware that Ioseph vnderstode them for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.
24 Yosefe anapita pambali payekha kukalira. Kenaka anabweranso nadzayankhula nawo. Iye anatenga Simeoni namumanga iwo akuona.
And he turned from them and wepte and than turned to them agayne ad comened with them and toke out Simeon from amonge the and bownde him before their eyes
25 Yosefe analamula kuti awadzazire matumba awo ndi tirigu, awayikiremo ndalama zawo momwemo ndiponso awapatse chakudya cha panjira. Izi anawachitiradi.
ad commaunded to fyll their saekes wyth corne and to put euery mans money in his sacke and to geue them vitayle to spende by the waye. And so it was done to them.
26 Abale a Yosefe aja anasenzetsa abulu awo tirigu amene anagula uja ndipo ananyamuka ulendo wawo.
And they laded their asses with the corne and departed thence.
27 Atafika pamalo pena poti agone, mmodzi mwa iwo anatsekula thumba lake kuti atapemo chakudya cha bulu wake. Atangomasula anaona kuti ndalama zake zili pakamwa pa thumba.
And as one of them opened his sacke for to geue his asse prauender in the Inne he spied his money in his sacks mouth
28 Iye anati kwa abale akewo, “Ndalama zanga andibwezera, izi zili mʼthumba mwangamu.” Mitima yawo inachita ngati yachokamo ndipo anali ndi mantha ambiri, nati, “Ndi chiyani chimene Mulungu watichitira?”
And he sayde vnto his brethren: my money is restored me agayne and is eue in my sackes mouth Than their hartes fayled them and were astoynyed and sayde one to a nother: how cometh it that God dealeth thus with us?
29 Atafika kwa abambo awo Yakobo mʼdziko la Kanaani anafotokoza zonse zimene zinawachitikira nati,
And they came vnto Iacob their father vnto the lande of Canaan and tolde him all that had happened them saynge.
30 “Nduna yayikulu ya mʼdzikomo inatiyankhula mwa ukali kwambiri ndipo inkatiyesa kuti ndife akazitape.
The lorde of the lade spake rughly to us and toke us for spyes to serche the countte.
31 Koma tinamuwuza kuti, ‘Ndife anthu woona mtima osati akazitape.
And we sayde vnto him: we meane truely and are no spies.
32 Ife tonse tinalipo ana aamuna khumi ndi awiri, abambo mmodzi. Mmodzi anamwalira, ndipo wamngʼono ali ndi abambo athu ku Kanaani.’”
We be. xij. bretren sones of oure father one is awaye and the yongest is now with oure father in the lande of Canaan.
33 Ndipo nduna ija inati kwa ife, “Kuti ndidziwedi kuti ndinu anthu owona mtima muchite izi: Mmodzi mwa inu atsale ndi ine kuno, ndipo enanu mutenge chakudya ndi kubwerera kwanu kumene kuli njalako.
And the lorde of the countre sayde vnto us: here by shall I knowe yf ye meane truely: leaue one of youre brethern here with me and take foode necessary for youre housholdes and get you awaye
34 Koma mundibweretsere wotsirizayo kuti ndidziwedi kuti sindinu akazitape koma anthu achilungamo. Kenaka ndidzakubwezerani mʼbale wanuyu ndipo mukhoza kuchita malonda mʼdzikoli.”
and brynge youre yongest brother vnto me And thereby shall I knowe that ye are no spyes but meane truely: So will I delyuer you youre brother agayne and ye shall occupie in the lande.
35 Pamene amakhuthula matumba awo a tirigu aliyense anapeza kuti kathumba kake ka ndalama kali momwemo. Ataona zimenezi, iwo pamodzi ndi abambo awo anachita mantha kwambiri.
And as they emptied their sackes beholde: euery mans bundell of money was in his sacke And when both they and their father sawe the bundells of money they were afrayde.
36 Abambo awo Yakobo anawawuza kuti, “Mwandilanda ana anga ine. Yosefe anamwalira ndipo Simeoni palibenso, ndiye tsopano mukufuna mutengenso Benjamini. Zonsezi zandigwera ine!”
And Iacob their father sayde vnto them: Me haue ye robbed of my childern: Ioseph is away and Simeon is awaye and ye will take Ben Iamin awaye. All these thinges fall vpon me.
37 Koma Rubeni anati kwa abambo ake, “Ngati sindidzabwera naye kwa inu, mudzaphe ana anga aamuna awiri. Muperekeni mʼmanja mwangamu ndipo ndidzamusamala ndi kubwera naye kwa inu.”
Ruben answered his father saynge: Slee my two sonnes yf I bringe him not to the agayne. Delyuer him therfore to my honde and I will brynge him to the agayne:
38 Koma Yakobo anati, “Mwana wanga sapita nanu kumeneko; mkulu wake anamwalira ndipo watsala yekha. Ngati choyipa chitamuchitikira pa ulendo mukupitawu, ndiye kuti ndi mmene ndakalambiramu inu mudzandipha ndi chisoni chotere.” (Sheol h7585)
And he sayde: my sonne shall not go downe with you. For his brother is dead and he is left alone Moreouer some mysfortune myght happen vpon him by the waye which ye goo. And so shuld ye brynge my gray head with sorowe vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
