< Genesis 42 >

1 When Jacob found out grain was available in Egypt, he asked his sons, “Why do you keep on looking at each other to do something?
Haddaba Yacquub wuxuu arkay in hadhuudh laga helo Masar, markaasuu Yacquub wiilashiisii ku yidhi, War maxaa midkiinba midka kale u fiirinayaa?
2 I've heard there's grain in Egypt. Go there and buy some for us so we can stay alive—if not, we're going to die!”
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 So ten of Joseph's brothers went to Egypt to buy grain.
Markaasaa Yuusuf tobankiisii walaal waxay u tageen Masar inay hadhuudh ka soo iibsadaan.
4 But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his other brothers, for he said, “I'm afraid something bad might happen to him.”
Laakiinse Benyaamiin oo ahaa Yuusuf walaalkiis Yacquub ma uu raacinin walaalihiis; waayo, wuxuu isyidhi, Waaba intaasoo belaayo ku dhacdaa.
5 So Israel's sons went to buy grain along with everyone else, because there was famine in Canaan too.
Markaasaa wiilashii Israa'iil waxay u yimaadeen inay wax iibsadaan, iyagoo la socda kuwii yimid, waayo, abaartu dalkii Kancaanna way ka dhacday.
6 Joseph was the governor of the country and he sold grain to all the people there. So Joseph's brothers went to him, and bowed low before him with their faces to the ground.
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 Joseph recognized them as soon as he saw them, but he acted like a stranger towards them and spoke to them in a severe way, saying, “Where are you from?” “From the country of Canaan,” they replied. “We've come to buy food.”
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 Even though Joseph recognized his brothers, they didn't recognize him.
Yuusufna wuu gartay walaalihiis laakiinse iyagu ma ay garan isagii.
9 Joseph thought back to the dreams he'd had about them, and told them, “No! You're spies! You've come to discover our country's weaknesses!”
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 “That's not true, my lord!” they responded. “We, your servants, have just come to buy food.
Iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen isagii, Maya, sayidkayagiiyow, laakiinse annagoo addoommadaada ah waxaannu u nimid inaannu cunto iibsanno.
11 We're all the sons of one man and we're honest. We're not spies!”
Kulligayo isku nin wiilashiis baannu nahay, oo waxaannu nahay niman daacad ah, oo annagoo addoommadaada ah basaasyo ma nihin.
12 “No! You've come to find our country's weaknesses!” he insisted.
Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Maya, laakiinse waxaad u timaadeen inaad aragtaan dhulka abaarnimadiisa.
13 “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man living in the country of Canaan,” they explained. “The youngest is right now with our father, and one has passed away.”
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 “As I said before, you're spies!” Joseph declared.
Markaasuu Yuusuf iyagii ku yidhi, Taasu waa tii aan idinkula hadlay, anigoo leh, Basaasyaad tihiin.
15 “This is how your story will be checked. I swear on Pharaoh's life that you'll never leave this country unless your younger brother comes here.
Haddaba tan baa laydinku tijaabin doonaa; nolosha Fircoon baan ku dhaartay inaydaan halkan ka tegi doonin, in walaalkiinnii yaraa halkan yimaado mooyaane.
16 One of you go back and bring your other brother here. The others of you will be kept here in prison until it's clear that you're telling the truth. If not, then I swear on Pharaoh's life it proves you're spies!”
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 So Joseph put all of them in prison for three days.
Markaasuu kulligood muddo saddex maalmood ah wada xabbisay.
18 On the third day he told them, “Since I'm someone who respects God, do as I tell you and you'll live.
Kolkaasaa maalintii saddexaad Yuusuf iyagii ku yidhi, Tan yeela, oo waad noolaan doontaan, waayo, anigu Ilaah baan ka cabsadaa.
19 If you're truly honest, choose one of your brothers to stay here in prison. The rest of you can go back home with grain for your hungry families.
Haddaad niman daacad ah tihiin, walaalihiinna midkood ha ku xidhnaado guriga xabsigiinna; laakiinse idinku taga, oo hadhuudh u geeya reerihiinna abaaraysan.
20 But you must bring your youngest brother here to me to prove what you're saying is true. If not, you will all die.” They agreed to do this.
Walaalkiinna idiinku wada yar ii keena; sidaasuu hadalkiinnu ku rumoobi doonaa, mana aad dhiman doontaan. Iyana sidii bay yeeleen.
21 “Clearly we're being punished for what we did to our brother,” they said to each other. “We watched him in agony pleading with us for mercy, but we refused to listen to him. That's why we're in all this trouble.”
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 Reuben said to them, “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't harm the boy!’ But you didn't listen to me. Now we're paying the price for what we did to him.”
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 They didn't realize that Joseph understood what they were saying because they were talking to him through an interpreter.
Oo iyana ma ay ogayn in Yuusuf gartay iyaga; waayo, turjumaan baa kala dhex joogay.
24 Joseph stepped away from them because he started crying. He came back when he was able to speak to them again. He chose Simeon and had him tied up as they watched.
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 Joseph gave the order to fill up their sacks with grain, and also to return the money they had paid by placing it in the sacks as well. He also ordered that they should be provided with food for their journey home. All this was done.
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 The brothers loaded the grain onto their donkeys and then set off.
Markaasay hadhuudhkoodii dameerradoodii ku rarteen, wayna ka tageen halkaas.
27 On their way they stopped for the night, and one of them opened up his sack to give his donkey something to eat and saw his money there at the top of the sack.
Meeshay ku hoydeen markii uu midkood joonyaddiisii ugu furay inuu dameerkiisii cunto siiyo ayuu arkay lacagtiisii oo ku jirta joonyaddiisii afkeeda.
28 He told his brothers, “My money's been returned to me. It's right here at the top of my sack!” They were horrified! Trembling with fear they asked each other, “What is this that God's done to us?”
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 When they arrived home in Canaan, they told their father Jacob everything that had happened.
Markaasay aabbahood Yacquub ugu yimaadeen dalkii Kancaan, oo waxay isagii u sheegeen wixii ku dhacay oo dhan, iyagoo leh,
30 “The man who is the country's governor spoke to us in a severe way, and accused us of spying on the land,” they explained.
Ninka sayidka u ah dalka ayaa si qallafsan noola hadlay, oo wuxuu noo qaatay inaannu dalka basaasayno.
31 “We told him, ‘We are honest men. We're not spies!
Oo waxaannu isagii ku nidhi, Annagu waxaannu nahay niman daacad ah; oo basaasyo ma aannu nihin.
32 We are twelve brothers, the sons of one father. One has passed away and the youngest is right now with our father in the country of Canaan.’
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 Then the man who is the country's governor said to us, ‘This is how I'll find out if you're telling the truth: you are to leave one of your brothers here with me while the rest take grain home for your hungry families.
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 Then bring your youngest brother to me. That way I'll know you're not spies but you're telling the truth. I'll release your brother to you, and you can stay in the country and trade.’”
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 As they emptied their sacks, each one's money bag was there in his sack! When they and their father saw the money bags, they were horrified.
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 Jacob their father accused them, “You have taken Joseph from me—he's gone! Simeon is gone too! Now you want to take Benjamin away! I'm the one who's suffering from all of this!”
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 “You can kill my two sons if I don't bring him back to you,” Reuben assured him. “Trust me with him, and I will bring him home to you myself.”
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 “My son won't go there with you!” Jacob declared. “His brother is dead, and he's the only one I have left. If anything bad happens to him on the journey you're planning, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.” (Sheol h7585)
Markaasuu yidhi, Wiilkaygu idinla dhaadhici maayo; waayo, walaalkiis waa dhintay, oo keligiis baa hadhay. Haddii jidka aad sii maraysaan belaayo kaga dhacdo isaga, de markaas cirradayda caloolxumaad qabriga la gelin doontaan. (Sheol h7585)
