Genesis 43
1 And the famine [was] severe in the land.
Amma illee beelli biyyattiitti baayʼee hammaatee ture.
2 And it came to pass, when they had consumed the corn which they had brought from Egypt, 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 Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did solemnly protest to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your 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 thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
Yoo ati obboleessa keenya nu wajjin ergite nu dhaqnee midhaan siif binna.
5 But if thou wilt not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, except your 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 dealt ye [so] ill with me, [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
Israaʼel immoo, “Isin maaliif akka obboleessa biraa qabdan namichatti himuudhaan rakkina natti fiddan?” jedhee gaafate.
7 And they said, The man asked us strictly concerning our state, and our kindred, saying, [Is] your father yet alive? have ye [another] brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: Could we certainly 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 And Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, [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 surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame 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 except we had delayed, surely now we had returned this second time.
Utuu turuu baannee silaa yoona yeroo lama dhaqnee deebineerra ture.”
11 And their father Israel said to them, If [it must be] so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, 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 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks, carry [it] again in your hand; it may be 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 also your brother, and arise, go again to the man:
Obboleessa keessanis fudhadhaatii dafaa gara namichaatti deebiʼaa.
14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin: If I be bereaved, I 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 took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and arose, 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 when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring [these] men home, and slay, and make ready: for [these] men shall dine 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 commanded: and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
Namichi sunis akkuma Yoosef isa ajaje godhe; jara sanas mana Yoosefitti geesse.
18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time, are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bond-men, 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 they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
Kanaafuu jarri gara hangafa hojjettoota Yoosefitti ol baʼanii balbala manaa duratti itti dubbatan.
20 And said, O sir, we came down indeed at the first time 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 the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, [every] man's money [was] in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again 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 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
Meetii biraas ittiin midhaan bitachuuf fidnee dhufneerra. Eenyu akka meetii keenya qalqalloo keenya keessa nuu kaaʼes hin beeknu.”
23 And he said, Peace [be] to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And 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 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave [them] water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
Hangafni hojjettootaa sunis jara sana mana Yoosefitti geessee akka isaan miilla isaanii dhiqataniif bishaan kenneef; harroota isaaniitiif immoo okaa kenne.
25 And they made ready the present against Joseph should come at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
Isaanis achitti akka nyaatan waan dhagaʼaniif dhufaatii Yoosef kan saʼaatii jaʼaatiif kennaa isaanii qopheeffatan.
26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which [was] in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
Yeroo Yoosef manatti galetti isaan kennaa manatti ol galchanii turan sana kennaniif; fuula isaa durattis lafatti gombifamanii harka fuudhan.
27 And he asked them of [their] welfare, and said, [Is] your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? [Is] he yet alive?
Innis nagaa isaan gaafatee, “Abbaan keessan jaarsi isin waaʼee isaa natti himtan sun akkam? Inni amma iyyuu jiraa?” jedheen.
28 And they answered, Thy servant, our father, [is] in good health, he [is] yet alive: and they bowed their heads and made obeisance.
Jarris, “Tajaajilaan kee abbaan keenya amma iyyuu ni jira; nagumas” jedhanii deebisan. Ulfina isaaf kennuufis gad jedhan.
29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, 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 made haste; for his bowels yearned towards his brother: and he sought [where] to weep; and 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 And he washed his face, and went 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 for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that [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 first-born according to his birth-right, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men wondered one at another.
Namoonni sunis akkuma umurii isaaniitti hangafaa jalqabanii hamma quxisuutti fuula isaa dura tataaʼanii dinqifatanii wal ilaalan.
34 And he took [and sent] messes to them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry 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.
