Genesis 44
1 Afterward he commanded his steward, saying, Fill the mens sackes with foode, as much as they can carry, and put euery mans money in his sackes mouth.
Yoosefis akkana jedhee hangafa hojjettoota mana isaa ajaje; “Qalqalloo jara kanaa hamma baachuu dandaʼutti midhaan itti guuti; meetii tokkoo tokkoo isaaniis afaan qalqalloo isaanii keessa kaaʼi.
2 And put my cup, I meane the siluer cup, in the sackes mouth of the yongest, and his corne money. And he did according to the commandement that Ioseph gaue him.
Xoofoo koo isa meetii irraa hojjetame immoo meetii inni ittiin midhaan bitachuu dhufe wajjin afaan qalqalloo isa quxisuu sanaa keessa kaaʼi.” Namichis akkuma Yoosef isa ajaje godhe.
3 And in the morning the men were sent away, they, and their asses.
Namoonni sun akkuma lafti bariiteen harroota isaanii wajjin geggeeffaman.
4 And when they went out of the citie not farre off, Ioseph sayd to his stewarde, Vp, follow after the men: and when thou doest ouertake them, say vnto them, Wherefore haue ye rewarded euill for good?
Utuma isaan magaalaa sana irraa hin fagaatin Yoosef hangafa hojjettoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Dafii jara kana duukaa buʼi; yommuu qaqqabdutti immoo akkana jedhiin; ‘Isin maaliif waan gaarii waan hamaadhaan deebiftu?
5 Is that not the cuppe, wherein my Lord drinketh? and in the which he doeth deuine and prophecie? ye haue done euill in so doing.
Xoofoon kun xoofoo gooftaan koo ittiin dhuguu fi ittiin waa himu mitii? Isin waan kana gochuudhaan waan hamaa hojjettan.’”
6 And when he ouertooke them, he sayde those wordes vnto them.
Innis yommuu isaan qaqqabetti waanuma kana isaanitti dubbate.
7 And they answered him, Wherefore sayeth my lorde such wordes? God forbid that thy seruants should do such a thing.
Jarris akkana isaan jedhan; “Gooftaan koo maaliif dubbii akkanaa dubbata? Waan akkanaa hojjechuun tajaajiltoota kee irraa haa fagaatu!
8 Behold, the money which we found in our sackes mouthes, wee brought againe to thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steale out of thy lordes house siluer or golde?
Kunoo nu meetii afaan qalqalloo keenyaa keessatti arganne iyyuu biyya Kanaʼaaniitii deebifnee siif fidne. Yoos nu maaliif mana gooftaa keetiitii meetii yookaan warqee hanna ree?
9 With whomesoeuer of thy seruants it bee found, let him dye, and we also will be my lordes bondmen.
Tajaajiltoota kee keessaa namni wanni kun biratti argame kam iyyuu haa duʼu; nu warri hafne immoo garboota gooftaa koo ni taana.”
10 And he said, Now then let it be according vnto your wordes: he with whome it is found, shall be my seruant, and ye shalbe blamelesse.
Inni immoo jaraan, “Amma akkuma isin jettan haa taʼu; abbaan wanti kun biratti argame garbicha naaf taʼa; isin warri kaan immoo gad dhiifamtu” jedhe.
11 Then at once euery man tooke downe his sacke to the grounde, and euery one opened his sacke.
Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dafanii qalqalloo isaanii lafa keeyyatanii hiikan.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest and left at the yongest: and the cuppe was found in Beniamins sacke.
Hangafni hojjettootaa sunis hangafaa jalqabee hamma quxisuutti sakattaʼe. Xoofoon sunis qalqalloo Beniyaam keessatti argame.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded euery man his asse, and went againe into the citie.
Kana irratti isaan uffata isaanii tarsaasan. Hundi isaanii harroota isaanii feʼatanii magaalattiitti deebiʼan.
14 So Iudah and his brethren came to Iosephs house (for he was yet there) and they fel before him on the ground.
Yoosef yeroo Yihuudaa fi obboloonni isaa ol seenanitti amma iyyuu mana keessa ture; isaanis fuula isaa duratti kukkufan.
15 Then Ioseph sayd vnto them, What acte is this, which ye haue done? know ye not that such a man as I, can deuine and prophecie?
Yoosefis, “Wanti isin hojjettan kun maal? Akka namni akka kootii hooda himuudhaan waa arguu dandaʼu isin hin beektanii?” isaaniin jedheen.
16 Then sayd Iudah, What shall we say vnto my lord? what shall we speake? and howe can we iustifie our selues? God hath found out the wickednesse of thy seruants: beholde, we are seruants to my Lord, both wee, and he, with whome the cuppe is founde.
Yihuudaan immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Nu gooftaa kootiin maal jechuu dandeenya? Nu maal dubbachuu dandeenya? Nu qulqulluu taʼuu keenya akkamiin mirkaneessuu dandeenya? Waaqni balleessaa garboota keetii ifatti baaseera. Kunoo nu garboota gooftaa koo ti; nu hundi keenya, namni xoofoon sun biratti argames garboota kee ti.”
17 But he answered, God forbid, that I should doe so, but the man, with whome the cuppe is founde, he shalbe my seruant, and go ye in peace vnto your father.
Yoosef garuu, “Waan akkanaa hojjechuun narraa haa fagaatu! Nama xoofoon biratti argame qofatu garbicha koo taʼa. Warri haftan garuu nagaadhaan gara abbaa keessaniitti deebiʼaa” jedhe.
18 Then Iudah drewe neere vnto him, and sayde, O my Lord, let thy seruant nowe speake a worde in my lordes eares, and let not thy wrath be kindled against thy seruant: for thou art euen as Pharaoh.
Yihuudaan immoo Yoosefitti dhiʼaatee akkana jedhe: “Maaloo gooftaa ko, akka garbichi kee waan tokko gooftaa kootti dubbatu eeyyamiif. Ati akkuma Faraʼoon taatus garbicha keetti hin aarin.
19 My Lord asked his seruants, saying, Haue ye a father, or a brother?
Gooftaan koo, ‘Isin abbaa yookaan obboleessa qabduu?’ jedhee garboota isaa gaafatee ture.
20 And we answered my Lord, We haue a father that is olde, and a young childe, which he begate in his age: and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loueth him.
Nus, ‘Abbaa dulloomaa tokko qabna; ilmi quxisuun bara dulluma isaa keessa isaaf dhalate tokkos jira. Obboleessi isaas duʼeera; ijoollee haati isaa deesse keessaa isa qofatu hafe; abbaan isaa isa jaallata’ jennee turre.
21 Now thou saidest vnto thy seruants, Bring him vnto me, that I may set mine eye vpon him.
“Atis garboota keetiin, ‘Akka ani ija kootiin isa arguuf naa fidaa’ jette.
22 And we answered my lord, The childe can not depart from his father: for if he leaue his father, his father would die.
Nus gooftaa kootiin, ‘Mucichi abbaa isaa dhiisee deemuu hin dandaʼu; yoo inni isa dhiisee biraa deeme abbaan isaa ni duʼa’ jenne.
23 Then saydest thou vnto thy seruants, Except your yonger brother come downe with you, looke in my face no more.
Ati immoo garboota keetiin, ‘Yoo obboleessi keessan inni quxisuun isin wajjin dhufuu baate, isin lammata fuula koo hin argitan’ jette.
24 So when we came vnto thy seruant our father, and shewed him what my lord had sayd,
Nus yeroo gara garbicha kee abbaa kootti deebinetti waan gooftaan koo jedhe isatti himne.
25 And our father sayde vnto vs, Goe againe, bye vs a litle foode,
“Abbaan keenya, ‘Ammas dhaqaatii midhaan xinnoo dabalaa nuu bitaa’ nuun jedhe.
26 Then we answered, We can not go downe: but if our yongest brother go with vs, then will we go downe: for we may not see the mans face, except our yongest brother be with vs.
Nu garuu, ‘Nu dhaquu hin dandeenyu; yoo obboleessi keenya inni quxisuun nu wajjin jiraate qofa dhaqna. Yoo obboleessi keenya inni quxisuun nu wajjin dhaquu baate nu fuula namichaa arguu hin dandeenyu’ jenne.
27 Then thy seruant my father sayde vnto vs, Ye knowe that my wife bare me two sonnes,
“Abbaan koo garbichi kee immoo akkana nuun jedhe; ‘Akka niitiin koo ilmaan lama naa deesse isin ni beektu.
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Of a suretie he is torne in pieces, and I sawe him not since.
Isaan keessaas inni tokko na biraa baʼe; anis, “Inni dhugumaan ciccirameera” nan jedhe. Ani ergasii isa hin argine.
29 Nowe yee take this also away from me: if death take him, then yee shall bring my graye head in sorowe to the graue. (Sheol h7585)
Yoo isin isa kanas na duraa fuutanii balaan isa irra gaʼe, isin akka arriin koo gaddaan awwaala seenu gootu.’ (Sheol h7585)
30 Nowe therefore, when I come to thy seruant my father, and the childe be not with vs (seeing that his life dependeth on the childes life)
“Kanaafuu amma yeroo ani gara garbicha kee abbaa kootti deebiʼutti, yoo mucichi nu wajjin jiraachuu baate abbaan koo kan jireenyi isaa jireenya mucichaatiin walitti hidhame sun,
31 Then when hee shall see that the childe is not come, he will die: so shall thy seruants bring the graye head of thy seruant our father with sorowe to the graue. (Sheol h7585)
akka mucichi nu wajjin hin jirre argee duʼa. Nu garboonni kees akka arriin abbaa keenya garbicha keetii gaddaan awwaala seenu goona. (Sheol h7585)
32 Doubtlesse thy seruant became suertie for the childe to my father, and said, If I bring him not vnto thee againe, then I will beare the blame vnto my father for euer.
Ani garbichi kee akka mucaan kun nagaadhaan deebiʼu abbaa koo duratti wabii taʼee, ‘Yaa abbaa ko, yoo ani deebisee isa siif fiduu baadhe, ani bara jireenya koo guutuu fuula abbaa koo duratti balleessaa kanatti nan gaafatama!’ jedhe.
33 Nowe therefore, I pray thee, let me thy seruant bide for the childe, as a seruant to my Lord, and let the childe go vp with his brethren.
“Egaa amma ani garbichi kee iddoo mucichaa garbicha gooftaa koo taʼee asitti nan hafa; mucichi immoo obboloota isaa wajjin haa deebiʼu.
34 For how can I go vp to my father, if the childe be not with me, vnlesse I woulde see the euil that shall come on my father?
Yoo mucichi na wajjin hin jiraatin ani akkamittin gara abbaa kootii deebiʼuu dandaʼa? Waawuu; akka ani gadda abbaa kootti dhufu argu na hin godhin.”
