Genesis 43
1 Now the famine was severe in the land.
Amma illee beelli biyyattiitti baayʼee hammaatee ture.
2 So it came about when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go again, buy us a little more food."
Erga isaan midhaan biyya Gibxiitii fidan sana nyaatanii fixanii booddee abbaan isaanii, “Ammas dhaqaatii midhaan xinnoo dabalaa nuu bitaa” jedheen.
3 But Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man strictly warned us, saying, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is 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 you'll send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy you food,
Yoo ati obboleessa keenya nu wajjin ergite nu dhaqnee midhaan siif binna.
5 but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is 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 Then Israel said, "Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man that you had another brother?"
Israaʼel immoo, “Isin maaliif akka obboleessa biraa qabdan namichatti himuudhaan rakkina natti fiddan?” jedhee gaafate.
7 They said, "The man kept asking about ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?' So we just answered his questions. How were we to know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down?'"
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 Then Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the boy with me and we'll get up and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you, and also our little ones.
Yihuudaanis abbaa isaa Israaʼeliin akkana jedhe; “Akka nu, atii fi ijoolleen keenya duʼa jalaa baanee jiraannuuf gurbicha na wajjin ergi; nu kaanee deemnaatii.
9 I will be collateral for him. You can hold me responsible for him. If I fail to bring him to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever,
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 hadn't delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now."
Utuu turuu baannee silaa yoona yeroo lama dhaqnee deebineerra ture.”
11 Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your bags and bring a gift for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
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 Take twice as much silver in your hand, and take back the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
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 Take your brother also, and get up, go back to the man.
Obboleessa keessanis fudhadhaatii dafaa gara namichaatti deebiʼaa.
14 And may El Shaddai grant you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am deprived of my children, then I am deprived."
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 The men took this gift, and they took twice as much silver with them, and Benjamin. Then they got up and went down to Egypt, and presented themselves before Joseph.
Namoonni sunis kennaawwan sana, meetii sana harka lamaa fi Beniyaaminis fudhatanii ariitiidhaan Gibxitti gad buʼanii fuula Yoosef dura dhadhaabatan.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the servant of his house, "Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and prepare it; for the men will eat 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 The man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house.
Namichi sunis akkuma Yoosef isa ajaje godhe; jara sanas mana Yoosefitti geesse.
18 But the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, "It is because of the silver that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are brought here; so that he may capture us, and make us slaves, and take our donkeys."
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 So they came near to the man of Joseph's house and they spoke to him at the entrance of the house,
Kanaafuu jarri gara hangafa hojjettoota Yoosefitti ol baʼanii balbala manaa duratti itti dubbatan.
20 and said, "My lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.
Akkanas jedhan; “Yaa gooftaa, nu yeroo jalqabaa midhaan bitachuuf as gad buunee turre.
21 But when we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and look, every man's silver was in the mouth of his sack, our silver in full weight. So we have brought it back in our hand.
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 We have brought down additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks."
Meetii biraas ittiin midhaan bitachuuf fidnee dhufneerra. Eenyu akka meetii keenya qalqalloo keenya keessa nuu kaaʼes hin beeknu.”
23 He said, "Peace to you. Do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your silver." Then he brought Simeon 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 The man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. Then he gave their donkeys food.
Hangafni hojjettootaa sunis jara sana mana Yoosefitti geessee akka isaan miilla isaanii dhiqataniif bishaan kenneef; harroota isaaniitiif immoo okaa kenne.
25 They prepared the gift for Joseph's arrival at noon, for they heard that they would eat a meal there.
Isaanis achitti akka nyaatan waan dhagaʼaniif dhufaatii Yoosef kan saʼaatii jaʼaatiif kennaa isaanii qopheeffatan.
26 When Joseph came home, they prepared the gift they had brought with them into the house, and bowed themselves down to him 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 Then he asked them of their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"
Innis nagaa isaan gaafatee, “Abbaan keessan jaarsi isin waaʼee isaa natti himtan sun akkam? Inni amma iyyuu jiraa?” jedheen.
28 And they answered, "Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive." Then he said, "Blessed be that man by God." And they bowed and prostrated themselves.
Jarris, “Tajaajilaan kee abbaan keenya amma iyyuu ni jira; nagumas” jedhanii deebisan. Ulfina isaaf kennuufis gad jedhan.
29 And he looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you told me about?" Then he said, "God be gracious to 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 Then Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome with emotion because of his brother, and he was at the point of tears. So he entered 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 Then he washed his face and came out. And he controlled himself and said, "Serve the food."
Ergasiis fuula isaa dhiqatee gad baʼe; of jajjabeessees, “Nyaanni haa dhiʼaatu” jedhe.
32 They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is disgraceful 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 birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other with amazement.
Namoonni sunis akkuma umurii isaaniitti hangafaa jalqabanii hamma quxisuutti fuula isaa dura tataaʼanii dinqifatanii wal ilaalan.
34 Then he gave portions to them in front of him, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank until they all became drunk.
Maaddii Yoosef irraas nyaanni qoodameef; qoodni Beniyaam garuu qooda tokko tokko isaaniitiif kenname dachaa shan taʼa ture. Jarris akkasiin Yoosef wajjin dhuganii itti hoʼe.
