Genesis 42
1 Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?
Yakobo atamva kuti ku Igupto kuli tirigu, anati kwa ana ake, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukungoyangʼanana wina ndi mnzake?
2 And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.
Ine ndamva kuti ku Igupto kuli tirigu. Pitani kumeneko mukatigulireko kuti tisafe ndi njala.”
3 So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
Choncho abale ake khumi a Yosefe anapita kukagula tirigu ku Igupto.
4 But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
Koma Yakobo sanamulole Benjamini mngʼono wake wa Yosefe kuti apite nawo chifukwa anaopa kuti choyipa chingamuchitikire.
5 And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
Choncho ana a Israeli aja anapita pamodzi ndi gulu la anzawo kukagula tirigu pakuti ku Kanaani kunalinso njala.
6 Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.
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.
7 And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.
Yosefe atangowaona abale ake anawazindikira, koma ananamizira kukhala ngati mlendo nawayankhula mwaukali kuwafunsa kuti, “Mwachokera kuti?” Iwo anayankha, “Ku dziko la Kanaani, tikudzagula chakudya.”
8 (Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
Ngakhale Yosefe anawazindikira abale ake, koma iwo sanamuzindikire.
9 And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.
Pamenepo anakumbukira maloto aja amene analota za iwo ndipo anati, “Inu ndinu akazitape! Mwabwera kudzazonda dziko lathu kuti muone pamene palibe chitetezo.”
10 But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
Iwo anayankha, “Ayi mbuye wathu, antchito anufe tabwera kudzagula chakudya.
11 Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
Tonse ndife ana a munthu mmodzi. Ndife antchito anu okhulupirika osati akazitape.”
12 But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ayi! Inu mwabwera kudzaona pamene palibe chitetezo mʼdziko muno.”
13 And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.
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.”
14 Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Ndi momwe ndaneneramo: Inu ndinu akazitape.
15 Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
Ndiye ndikuyesani motere: Ine ndikulumbira pali Farao ndithu, inuyo simudzachoka malo ano mpaka wotsirizayo atabwera kuno.
16 Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.
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!”
17 So he put them in warde three dayes.
Ndipo onse anawayika mʼndende kwa masiku atatu.
18 Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
Pa tsiku lachitatu Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Popeza ine ndimaopa Mulungu, ndipo inuyo ngati mukufuna kukhala ndi moyo muchite izi:
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:
Ngati muli anthu achilungamo, mmodzi wa inu atsale mʼndende, pamene ena nonse mupite kwanu kuti muwatengere chakudya anthu akwanu kuli njalako.
20 But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
Mukabwere naye kuno mngʼono wanu wotsirizayo kuti titsimikizire zimene munanena kuti musafe.” Ndipo anachita zomwezo.
21 And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.
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.”
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.
Rubeni anayankha, “Kodi sindinakuwuzeni kuti musamuchite kanthu mnyamata uja? Koma inu simunamvere! Tsopano tikulandira malipiro a magazi ake.”
23 (And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
Koma sanadziwe kuti Yosefe ankawamva popeza kuti ankagwiritsa ntchito wotanthauzira poyankhula naye.
24 Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.
Yosefe anapita pambali payekha kukalira. Kenaka anabweranso nadzayankhula nawo. Iye anatenga Simeoni namumanga iwo akuona.
25 So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.
Yosefe analamula kuti awadzazire matumba awo ndi tirigu, awayikiremo ndalama zawo momwemo ndiponso awapatse chakudya cha panjira. Izi anawachitiradi.
26 And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
Abale a Yosefe aja anasenzetsa abulu awo tirigu amene anagula uja ndipo ananyamuka ulendo wawo.
27 And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.
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.
28 Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?
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?”
29 And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
Atafika kwa abambo awo Yakobo mʼdziko la Kanaani anafotokoza zonse zimene zinawachitikira nati,
30 The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
“Nduna yayikulu ya mʼdzikomo inatiyankhula mwa ukali kwambiri ndipo inkatiyesa kuti ndife akazitape.
31 And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
Koma tinamuwuza kuti, ‘Ndife anthu woona mtima osati akazitape.
32 We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Ife tonse tinalipo ana aamuna khumi ndi awiri, abambo mmodzi. Mmodzi anamwalira, ndipo wamngʼono ali ndi abambo athu ku Kanaani.’”
33 Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,
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.
34 And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.
Koma mundibweretsere wotsirizayo kuti ndidziwedi kuti sindinu akazitape koma anthu achilungamo. Kenaka ndidzakubwezerani mʼbale wanuyu ndipo mukhoza kuchita malonda mʼdzikoli.”
35 And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.
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.
36 Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.
Abambo awo Yakobo anawawuza kuti, “Mwandilanda ana anga ine. Yosefe anamwalira ndipo Simeoni palibenso, ndiye tsopano mukufuna mutengenso Benjamini. Zonsezi zandigwera ine!”
37 Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.
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.”
38 But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
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)
