Genesis 44
1 Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's opening.
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 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's opening of the youngest, and also his money for the grain.” The steward did as Joseph had said.
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 The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
Namoonni sun akkuma lafti bariiteen harroota isaanii wajjin geggeeffaman.
4 When they were out of the city but were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Get up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you returned evil 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 this not the cup from which my master drinks, and the cup that he uses for divination? You have done evil, this thing that you have done.'”
Xoofoon kun xoofoo gooftaan koo ittiin dhuguu fi ittiin waa himu mitii? Isin waan kana gochuudhaan waan hamaa hojjettan.’”
6 The steward overtook them and spoke these words to them.
Innis yommuu isaan qaqqabetti waanuma kana isaanitti dubbate.
7 They said to him, “Why does my master speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they would do such a thing.
Jarris akkana isaan jedhan; “Gooftaan koo maaliif dubbii akkanaa dubbata? Waan akkanaa hojjechuun tajaajiltoota kee irraa haa fagaatu!
8 Look, the money that we found in our sacks' openings, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then could we steal out of your master's house silver or gold?
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 whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my master's slaves.”
Tajaajiltoota kee keessaa namni wanni kun biratti argame kam iyyuu haa duʼu; nu warri hafne immoo garboota gooftaa koo ni taana.”
10 The steward said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom the cup is found will be my slave, and you others will be innocent.”
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 each man hurried and brought his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dafanii qalqalloo isaanii lafa keeyyatanii hiikan.
12 The steward searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Hangafni hojjettootaa sunis hangafaa jalqabee hamma quxisuutti sakattaʼe. Xoofoon sunis qalqalloo Beniyaam keessatti argame.
13 Then they tore their clothes. Each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
Kana irratti isaan uffata isaanii tarsaasan. Hundi isaanii harroota isaanii feʼatanii magaalattiitti deebiʼan.
14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house. He was still there, and they bowed before him to the ground.
Yoosef yeroo Yihuudaa fi obboloonni isaa ol seenanitti amma iyyuu mana keessa ture; isaanis fuula isaa duratti kukkufan.
15 Joseph said to them, “What is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me practices divination?”
Yoosefis, “Wanti isin hojjettan kun maal? Akka namni akka kootii hooda himuudhaan waa arguu dandaʼu isin hin beektanii?” isaaniin jedheen.
16 Judah said, “What can we say to my master? What can we speak? Or how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Look, we are my master's slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup was found.”
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 Joseph said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup was found, that person will be my slave, but as for you others, go up in peace to 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 Judah came near to him and said, “My master, please let your servant speak a word in my master's ears, and do let your anger burn against your servant, for you are just like 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 master asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'
Gooftaan koo, ‘Isin abbaa yookaan obboleessa qabduu?’ jedhee garboota isaa gaafatee ture.
20 We said to my master, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one. But his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves 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 Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me that I may see him.'
“Atis garboota keetiin, ‘Akka ani ija kootiin isa arguuf naa fidaa’ jette.
22 After that, we said to my master, 'The boy cannot leave his father. For if he should leave 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 you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'
Ati immoo garboota keetiin, ‘Yoo obboleessi keessan inni quxisuun isin wajjin dhufuu baate, isin lammata fuula koo hin argitan’ jette.
24 Then it came about when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my master.
Nus yeroo gara garbicha kee abbaa kootti deebinetti waan gooftaan koo jedhe isatti himne.
25 Our father said, 'Go again, buy us some food.'
“Abbaan keenya, ‘Ammas dhaqaatii midhaan xinnoo dabalaa nuu bitaa’ nuun jedhe.
26 Then we said, 'We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down, for we will not be able to see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
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 Your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.
“Abbaan koo garbichi kee immoo akkana nuun jedhe; ‘Akka niitiin koo ilmaan lama naa deesse isin ni beektu.
28 One of them went out from me and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since.”
Isaan keessaas inni tokko na biraa baʼe; anis, “Inni dhugumaan ciccirameera” nan jedhe. Ani ergasii isa hin argine.
29 Now if you also take this one from me, and harm comes to him, you will bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.' (Sheol h7585)
Yoo isin isa kanas na duraa fuutanii balaan isa irra gaʼe, isin akka arriin koo gaddaan awwaala seenu gootu.’ (Sheol h7585)
30 Now, therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the boy's 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 it will come about, when he sees the boy is not with us, he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (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 For your servant became a guarantee for the boy to my father and said, 'If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the guilt to my father forever.'
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 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy as slave to my master, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
“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 up to my father if the boy is not with me? I am afraid to see the evil that would 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.”
