Genesis 42
1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
Yaaqoob yommuu akka Gibxi keessa midhaan jiru dhagaʼetti, ilmaan isaatiin, “Isin maaliif wal ilaaltu?” jedhe.
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.
Itti fufees, “Kunoo ani akka Gibxi keessa midhaan jiru dhagaʼeera. Akka nu duʼa jalaa baanee jiraannuuf gad buʼaatii achii midhaan nuu bitaa” jedhe.
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
Obboloota Yoosef keessaa kudhan Gibxi keessaa midhaan bituuf gad buʼan.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
Yaaqoob garuu balaatu isa irra gaʼa jedhee waan sodaateef obboleessa Yoosef Beniyaamin isaan wajjin hin ergine.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Beelli biyya Kanaʼaan keessa waan tureef ilmaan Israaʼelis warra midhaan bitachuu dhaqan wajjin deeman.
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.
Yoosefis bulchaa biyyattii kan uummata biyyattii hundatti midhaan gurguru ture. Obboloonni Yoosefis yommuu achi gaʼanitti fuula isaaniitiin lafatti gombifamanii sagadaniif.
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.
Yoosef akkuma obboloota isaa argeen isaan beeke; garuu akkuma nama isaan hin beekneetti afaan hamaa isaanitti dubbatee, “Isin eessaa dhuftan?” jedhee isaan gaafate. Jarris, “Midhaan bitachuuf jennee Kanaʼaanii dhufne” jedhanii deebisan.
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
Yoo Yoosef obboloota isaa beeke iyyuu jarri isa hin beekne.
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.
Innis abjuu waaʼee isaanii abjoote sana yaadatee, “Isin basaastota dadhabbii biyyattii basaasuuf dhuftanii dha!” jedheen.
10 And they said unto him, Nay, my master, but to buy food are thy servants come.
Isaan immoo akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Yaa gooftaa akkas miti; nu garboonni kee midhaan bitachuu dhufne.
11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
Nu hundi ilmaan abbaa tokkoo ti; nu garboonni kee namoota amanamoo dha malee basaastota miti.”
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
Innis, “Akkas miti; isin dadhabbii biyyattii basaasuu dhuftan” jedheen.
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.
Isaan garuu akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Nu garboonni kee obboloota kudha lama, ilmaanuma abbaa tokkoo kan biyya Kanaʼaan jiraatuu ti. Kunoo quxisuun hunda keenyaa amma abbaa keenya bira jira; inni tokko garuu hin jiru.”
14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
Yoosef garuu akkana jedheen; “Akkuma ani isiniin jedhe sana isin basaastota!
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
Akki isin ittiin qoramtan kana; ani maqaa Faraʼooniin nan kakadha; yoo obboleessi keessan quxisuun sun as dhufe malee isin asii hin sochootan.
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.
Akka inni dhaqee obboleessa keessan fiduuf of keessaa nama tokko ergaa; isin warri haftan immoo mana hidhaatti galfamtu; akkasiinis dubbiin keessan qoratamee akka dhugaa taʼee fi akka dhugaa hin taʼin ni ilaalama; yoo kanaa achii, ani maqaa Faraʼooniin nan kakadha; isin dhugumaan basaastota!”
17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
Innis hunda isaanii guyyaa sadii mana hidhaa keessa turse.
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear Elohim:
Guyyaa sadaffaatti Yoosef akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin waan kana godhaa; ni jiraattu; ani Waaqa nan sodaadhaatii.
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:
Isin yoo namoota amanamoo taatan obboloota keessan keessaa tokko as mana hidhaa haa turu; warri kaan garuu deemaa; maatii keessan kanneen beelaʼaniif midhaan geessaa.
20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
Garuu obboleessa keessan quxisuu naa fidaa; akkasiin dubbiin keessan ni mirkaneeffama; isinis hin duutan.” Isaanis akkasuma godhan.
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.
Isaanis akkana waliin jedhan; “Nu dhugumaan sababii obboleessa keenyaatiif adabamaa jirra. Yeroo inni nu kadhatetti lubbuun isaa hammam akka dhiphachaa turte argineerra; nu garuu isa dhagaʼuu didne; dhiphinni kun kanaaf nutti dhufe.”
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.
Ruubeen immoo, “Ani, ‘Gurbaa kana hin miidhinaa’ jedhee isinitti hin himnee? Isin garuu na dhagaʼuu diddan! Kunoo nu dhiiga isaatti ni gaafatamna” jedhe.
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
Sababii Yoosef karaa nama afaan hiikuutiin isaanitti dubbachaa tureef isaan akka inni waan isaan dubbatan hubatu hin beekne.
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.
Yoosef achi isaan irraa garagalee booʼuu jalqabe; ergasii immoo isaanitti garagalee isaanitti dubbate. Simiʼooninis isaan keessaa baasisee fuuluma isaanii duratti hiisise.
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.
Yoosef akka qalqalloo isaaniitti midhaan guutaniif, akka meetii tokkoo tokkoo isaanii deebisanii qalqalloo isaanii keessa isaaniif kaaʼanii fi akka karaa isaaniitiif galaa isaaniif kennan ajaje. Erga wanni kun isaaniif godhamee booddee
26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
jarri midhaan isaanii harroota isaaniitti feʼatanii qajeelan.
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.
Isaan keessaa inni tokko iddoo bulanitti harree isaatiif nyaata kennuuf jedhee qalqalloo isaa bane; kunoo afaan qalqalloo keessattis meetii isaa argate.
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 Elohim hath done unto us?
Innis obboloota isaatiin, “Meetiin koo naa deebiʼeera; kunoo qalqalloo koo keessa jira” jedhe. Kana irratti isaan naʼanii walitti garagalanii hollachaa, “Wanni Waaqni nutti hojjete kun maali?” jedhan.
29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
Isaanis gara biyya Kanaʼaan abbaa isaanii Yaaqoob bira dhufanii waan isaan irra gaʼe hunda isatti himan; akkanas jedhan;
30 The man, who is YHWH of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
“Namichi gooftaa biyya sanaa taʼe afaan hamaa nutti dubbatee akka waan nu biyyattii basaasuu dhaqneetti nu lakkaaʼe.
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
Nu garuu akkana jenneen; ‘Nu namoota amanamoo dha malee basaastota miti.
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.
Nu obboloota kudha lama ilmaanuma abbaa tokkoo ti; inni tokko hin jiru; quxisuun hunda keenyaa immoo abbaa keenya bira biyya Kanaʼaan jira.’
33 And the man, YHWH 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:
“Namichi gooftaa biyya sanaa taʼe immoo akkana nuun jedhe; ‘Akki ani akka isin namoota amanamoo taatanii fi hin taʼin ittiin beeku kana; obboloota keessan keessaa isa tokko as na biratti dhiisaatii maatii keessan kan beelaʼaniif midhaan geessaa.
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.
Garuu akka ani akka isin namoota amanamoo malee basaastota hin taʼin beekuuf obboleessa keessan isa quxisuu sana naa fidaa. Ergasii ani obboleessa keessan deebisee isinii kenna; isinis biyya kana keessatti daldalachuu ni dandeessu.’”
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.
Yommuu isaan qalqalloo isaanii keessaa midhaan garagalchanitti, kunoo meetiin tokkoo tokkoo isaanii hidhaa hidhaan qalqalloo isaanii keessa ture. Isaanii fi abbaan isaanii yeroo meetii hidhame sana arganitti ni rifatan.
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.
Abbaan isaanii Yaaqoobis, “Isin ijoollee koo na dhabsiiftan. Yoosef hin jiru; Simiʼoonis hin jiru. Amma immoo Beniyaamin fudhachuu barbaaddu. Wanni hundi natti hammaateera!” jedheen.
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.
Ruubeen immoo abbaa isaatiin, “Yoo ani deebisee isa siif fiduu baadhe ilmaan koo lamaan ajjeesuu ni dandeessa; isa imaanaa natti kenni; ani deebisee isa nan fida” jedhe.
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. (Sheol h7585)
Yaaqoob garuu akkana jedhe; “Ilmi koo isin wajjin achi gad hin buʼu; obboleessi isaa duʼeera; isa qofatu hafe. Yoo karaa keessan irratti balaan isa irra gaʼe, isin akka arriin koo gaddaan awwaala seenu gootu.” (Sheol h7585)
