Genesis 43
1 But the famine prevailed in the land.
Amma illee beelli biyyattiitti baayʼee hammaatee ture.
2 And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again; buy us a little food.
Erga isaan midhaan biyya Gibxiitii fidan sana nyaatanii fixanii booddee abbaan isaanii, “Ammas dhaqaatii midhaan xinnoo dabalaa nuu bitaa” jedheen.
3 And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
Yihuudaan immoo akkana isaan jedhe; “Namichi sun, ‘Yoo obboleessi keessan isin wajjin dhufe malee isin lammata ija koo hin argitan’ jedhee of eeggannoo cimaa nuu kenne.
4 If, then, you send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy you food;
Yoo ati obboleessa keenya nu wajjin ergite nu dhaqnee midhaan siif binna.
5 but if you send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
Sababii namichi sun, ‘Yoo obboleessi keessan isin wajjin dhufe malee isin lammata ija koo hin argitan’ nuun jedheef, yoo ati isa ergite malee nu gad hin buunu.”
6 And Israel said, Why did you harm me, inasmuch as you told the man that you had a brother?
Israaʼel immoo, “Isin maaliif akka obboleessa biraa qabdan namichatti himuudhaan rakkina natti fiddan?” jedhee gaafate.
7 And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have you a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother?
Isaanis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Namichi waaʼee mataa keenyaatii fi waaʼee maatii keenyaa jabeessee nu gaafate. Innis, ‘Abbaan keessan amma iyyuu jiraa? Obboleessa biraa qabduu?’ jedhee nu gaafate; nu gaaffiidhuma isaa deebifneef. Yoos akka inni, ‘Obboleessa keessan as fidaa’ nuun jedhu akkamiin beekuu dandeenya ree?”
8 And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you, and our store.
Yihuudaanis abbaa isaa Israaʼeliin akkana jedhe; “Akka nu, atii fi ijoolleen keenya duʼa jalaa baanee jiraannuuf gurbicha na wajjin ergi; nu kaanee deemnaatii.
9 And I engage for him; at my hand do you require him; if I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty toward you for ever.
Ani wabii isaafin taʼa; waaʼee isaas anuma mataa koo gaafachuu ni dandeessa. Yoo ani deebisee isa siif fidee fuula kee dura dhaabuu baadhe, ani bara jireenya koo guutuu fuula kee duratti balleessaa kanatti nan gaafatama.
10 For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice.
Utuu turuu baannee silaa yoona yeroo lama dhaqnee deebineerra ture.”
11 And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts.
Kana irratti abbaan isaanii Israaʼel akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Erga akkas taʼee waan kana godhaa; oomisha biyya kanaa filatamaa keessaa kennaa tokko tokko jechuunis haphee dibatan xinnoo ishee, damma xinnaa isaa, urgooftuu fi qumbii xinnoo ishee, ocholoonii fi lawuzii xinnoo ishee geessaatii namichaaf kennaa.
12 And take double money in your hands, and the money that was returned in your sacks, carry back with you, lest perhaps it is a mistake.
Isin waan meetii afaan qalqalloo keessanii keessa kaaʼamee isinii deebiʼe sana deebisuu qabdaniif meetii sana harka lama fudhadhaatii deemaa; meetiin sun dogoggoraan dhufe taʼaatii.
13 And take your brother; and arise, go down to the man.
Obboleessa keessanis fudhadhaatii dafaa gara namichaatti deebiʼaa.
14 And my God give you favor in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am bereaved.
Akka inni obboleessa keessan kaanii fi Beniyaam illee isin wajjin deebisee erguuf Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akka namichi garaa isinii laafu haa godhu. Ani yoo ijoollee dhabe illee ijoollee nan dhaba.”
15 And the men having taken these presents, and the double money, took in their hands also Benjamin; and they rose up and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Namoonni sunis kennaawwan sana, meetii sana harka lamaa fi Beniyaaminis fudhatanii ariitiidhaan Gibxitti gad buʼanii fuula Yoosef dura dhadhaabatan.
16 And Joseph saw them and his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said to the steward of his household, Bring the men into the house, and kill beasts and make ready, for the men are to eat bread with me at noon.
Yoosefis yommuu Beniyaamin isaan biratti argetti hangafa hojjettoota mana isaatiin, “Namoota kana mana kootti geessi; horii tokko qalii nyaata qopheessi; isaan saʼaatii jaʼatti na wajjin nyaatuutii” jedhe.
17 And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph.
Namichi sunis akkuma Yoosef isa ajaje godhe; jara sanas mana Yoosefitti geesse.
18 And the men, when they perceived that they were brought into the house of Joseph, said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first; even in order to inform against us, and lay it to our charge; to take us for servants, and our asses.
Namoonni sun yeroo mana Yoosefitti geeffamanitti sodaatanii akkana jedhan; “Nu sababii meetii yeroo jalqabaa deebiʼee afaan qalqalloo keenyaa keessatti argame sanaatiif as fidamne; inni nu rukutee, nu moʼatee, akka garbootaatti nu qabatee harroota keenya fudhachuu barbaada.”
19 And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house,
Kanaafuu jarri gara hangafa hojjettoota Yoosefitti ol baʼanii balbala manaa duratti itti dubbatan.
20 saying, We pray [you], Sir; we came down at first to buy food.
Akkanas jedhan; “Yaa gooftaa, nu yeroo jalqabaa midhaan bitachuuf as gad buunee turre.
21 And it came to pass, when we came to unlade, and opened our sacks, [there was] also this money of each in his sack; we have now brought back our money by weight in our hands.
Nus yeroo iddoo bullu geenyee qalqalloo keenya bannetti tokkoon tokkoon keenya afaan qalqalloo keenyaa keessatti meetii keenya akkuma jirutti arganne. Kanaafuu meetii sana deebifnee fidnee dhufneerra.
22 And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks.
Meetii biraas ittiin midhaan bitachuuf fidnee dhufneerra. Eenyu akka meetii keenya qalqalloo keenya keessa nuu kaaʼes hin beeknu.”
23 And he said to them, [God deal] mercifully with you; be not afraid; your God, and the God of your fathers, has given you treasures in your sacks, and I have enough of your good money. And he brought Symeon out to them.
Innis deebisee, “Homaa miti; hin sodaatinaa. Waaqni keessan, Waaqni abbaa keessanii qalqalloo keessanitti badhaadhummaa isinii naqeera; meetiin keessan na gaʼee jira” jedheen. Ergasiis Simiʼoonin gara isaaniitti gad baase.
24 And he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses.
Hangafni hojjettootaa sunis jara sana mana Yoosefitti geessee akka isaan miilla isaanii dhiqataniif bishaan kenneef; harroota isaaniitiif immoo okaa kenne.
25 And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there.
Isaanis achitti akka nyaatan waan dhagaʼaniif dhufaatii Yoosef kan saʼaatii jaʼaatiif kennaa isaanii qopheeffatan.
26 And Joseph entered into the house, and they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands, into the house; and they did him reverence with their face to the ground.
Yeroo Yoosef manatti galetti isaan kennaa manatti ol galchanii turan sana kennaniif; fuula isaa durattis lafatti gombifamanii harka fuudhan.
27 And he asked them, How are you? and he said to them, Is your father, the old man of whom you spoke, well? Does he yet live?
Innis nagaa isaan gaafatee, “Abbaan keessan jaarsi isin waaʼee isaa natti himtan sun akkam? Inni amma iyyuu jiraa?” jedheen.
28 And they said, Your servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And he said, Blessed be that man by God; —and they bowed, and did him reverence.
Jarris, “Tajaajilaan kee abbaan keenya amma iyyuu ni jira; nagumas” jedhanii deebisan. Ulfina isaaf kennuufis gad jedhan.
29 And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom you spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on you, my son.
Innis ol ilaalee obboleessa isaa, ilma haadha isaa Beniyaamin argee, “Inni kun obboleessa keessan quxisuu isin waaʼee isaa natti himtan sanaa?” jedhee gaafate. Itti fufees, “Ilma ko, Waaqni si haa eebbisu” jedheen.
30 And Joseph was troubled, for his bowels yearned over his brother, and he sought to weep; and he went into his chamber, and wept there.
Yoosef yommuu obboleessa isaa argetti garaan raafamee dafee gad baʼe; booʼuu barbaadees kutaa mana isaa seenee achitti booʼe.
31 And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
Ergasiis fuula isaa dhiqatee gad baʼe; of jajjabeessees, “Nyaanni haa dhiʼaatu” jedhe.
32 And they set on [bread] for him alone, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians feasting with him by themselves, for the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Jarris sababii warri Gibxi Ibroota wajjin hin nyaanneef Yoosefiif kophaatti, obboloota isaatiif kophaatti, warra Gibxi kanneen isa wajjin nyaataniifis kophaatti dhiʼeessan; Ibroota wajjin nyaachuun warra Gibxi biratti jibbisiisaa tureetii.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his seniority, and the younger according to his youth; and the men looked with amazement every one at his brother.
Namoonni sunis akkuma umurii isaaniitti hangafaa jalqabanii hamma quxisuutti fuula isaa dura tataaʼanii dinqifatanii wal ilaalan.
34 And they took their portions from him to themselves; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as the portions of [the others]. And they drank and were filled with drink with him.
Maaddii Yoosef irraas nyaanni qoodameef; qoodni Beniyaam garuu qooda tokko tokko isaaniitiif kenname dachaa shan taʼa ture. Jarris akkasiin Yoosef wajjin dhuganii itti hoʼe.
