Mose 1 44
1 Esi nɔviawo ƒe dzodzoɣi ɖo la, Yosef gblɔ na eƒe aƒedzikpɔla la be wòade bli woƒe kotokuwo katã me, ɖe sia ɖe nayɔ abe ale si wòate ŋu atsɔ ene, eye wòatsɔ ga si ame sia ame xe ɖe blia ta la ade eƒe kotoku me!
UJosefa waselaya inceku yendlu yakhe wathi: “Gcwalisa silikici amasaka amadoda la ngokudla konke abangakuthwala, ubusubuyisela isiliva salowo lalowo emlonyeni wesaka lakhe.
2 Egblɔ nɛ hã be wòatsɔ ye ŋutɔ yeƒe klosalokplu ade Benyamin ƒe kotoku me, kpe ɖe bliƒlega la ŋu. Ale aƒedzikpɔla la wɔ ɖe nu siwo Yosef gblɔ nɛ la dzi.
Ubusufaka inkomitsho yami, leyana eyesiliva, emlonyeni wesaka lalowo omncinyane wabo ndawonye lesiliva sakhe samabele.” Yenza njengalokho uJosefa ayekutshilo.
3 Nɔviawo fɔ fɔŋli, eye wodze mɔ kple woƒe tedziawo.
Kwathi emadabukakusa bawavalelisa amadoda asuka kanye labobabhemi bawo.
4 Ke esi wodo go le dua me teti ko la, Yosef gblɔ na eƒe aƒedzikpɔla la be, “Dze wo yome kaba; na woatɔ, eye nàbia wo be nu ka ta wowɔ nu sia tɔgbi esime menyo dɔ me na wo nenema mahã?
Ayengakahambi okuya ngaphi ukusuka edolobheni lapho uJosefa athi encekwini yakhe, “Axhume ngokuphangisa amadoda lawana, ungawafica uthi kuwo, ‘Lenzeleni ukuphindisela okuhle ngokubi na?
5 Bia wo be, ‘Nu ka ta miefi nye aƒetɔ ƒe klosalokplu si me wònoa nu le, eye wògawɔa eŋu dɔ hena nukaka mahã? Nu vɔ̃ɖi kae nye esi miewɔ?’”
Le kakusinkomitsho enatha ngenkosi yami njalo ehlahlula ngayo na? Le yinto embi kakhulu eseliyenzile!’”
6 Aƒedzikpɔla la yi ɖatu wo, eye wòƒo nu na wo abe ale si woɖo nɛ tututu ene.
Wathi esebaficile wawatsho amazwi la kubo.
7 Wobiae be, “Ao, aƒetɔ, nya ka tututu gblɔm nèle? Nu sia wɔwɔ nade megbe xaa tso wò dɔlawo gbɔ.
Kodwa bathi kuye, “Kungani inkosi yethu isitsho izinto ezinjalo? Kakube kude lezinceku zakho ukwenza ulutho olunjalo!
8 Ɖe míetrɔ ga si míekpɔ le míaƒe blikotokuwo me le Kanaan la vɛ oa? Nu ka ta míafi klosalo alo sika le wò aƒetɔ ƒe aƒe me ɖo?
Phela siyibuyisile kuwe isiliva sisuka laso elizweni laseKhenani, lesiyana esasifumana phakathi emilonyeni yamasaka ethu. Pho besingakwenza njani ukweba isiliva loba igolide endlini yenkosi yakho na?
9 Ne èkpɔ eƒe kplu le mía dometɔ aɖe ƒe kotoku me la, ekema na ame ma naku, eye nàna mí ame mamlɛawo katã miazu kluviwo na wò aƒetɔ tegbetegbe.”
Nxa omunye wezinceku zakho efunyanwa elayo, uzabulawa; kuthi thina abanye sibe yizigqili zenkosi yethu.”
10 Aƒedzikpɔla la gblɔ be, “Enyo nenema, gake ame si fii la koe azu kluvi, eye ame bubuawo ate ŋu adzo faa.”
Wathi, “Kulungile, kakube njengokutsho kwenu. Lowo ozafunyanwa elayo uzakuba yisigqili sami, lina abanye lonke kalizukuba lecala.”
11 Woɖe woƒe kotokuawo le woƒe tedziwo dzi kaba, eye woʋu wo nu.
Ngulowo lalowo wabo wethula isaka lakhe walivula.
12 Edze kplua didi le kotokuawo me gɔme tso nɔvi tsitsitɔ dzi nɔ yiyim ɖe tsitsi nu va se ɖe esime wòva ɖo ɖevitɔ dzi. Tete wòkpɔ kplu la le Benyamin ƒe kotoku me!
Inceku yasihamba ihlola, yaqala ngomdala yayacina ngomcinyane. Inkomitsho yayafunyanwa esakeni likaBhenjamini.
13 Wodze woƒe awuwo le dziɖeleameƒo ta. Wogado agba na woƒe tedziwo, eye wogatrɔ yi dua me.
Bekubona lokhu badabula izigqoko zabo. Emva kwalokho bonke betshatisa obabhemi babo amasaka baphindela edolobheni.
14 Yosef ganɔ eƒe aƒe me esime Yuda kple nɔviawo trɔ va ɖo, eye wodze klo de ta agu nɛ.
UJosefa wayelokhu esendlini lapho uJuda labafowabo abafika khona bazilahla phansi phambi kwakhe.
15 Yosef bia be, “Nu ka miete kpɔ be yewoawɔ? Ɖe mienya be ame abe nye ene anya ame si fii oa?”
UJosefa wathi kubo, “Kuyini lokhu elikwenzileyo? Kalazi na ukuthi umuntu onjengami ubona izinto ngokuhlahlula?”
16 Yuda gblɔ be, “O, nu ka magblɔ na nye aƒetɔ? Kuku ka míate ŋu aɖe? Aleke míate ŋu aɖe míaƒe fɔmaɖimaɖi afiae? Mawu le to hem na mí ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Aƒetɔ, mí katã míetrɔ va be míazu wò kluviwo, míawo kple ame si ƒe kotoku me wokpɔ kplu la le siaa.”
UJuda waphendula wathi, “Kambe singabe sisathini? Singakuveza kanjani ukuba msulwa kwethu? UNkulunkulu usembule icala lezinceku zakho. Manje sesiyizichaka zenkosi yami, thina ngokwethu lalowo ofunyenwe elayo inkomitsho.”
17 Yosef gblɔ be, “Ao, ame si fi kplu la koe anye nye kluvi. Mi ame mamlɛawo ya, miyi mia de le mia fofo gbɔ.”
Kodwa uJosefa wathi. “Kakube kude lami ukwenza into enjalo! Yileyo indoda kuphela efunyanwe ilayo inkomitsho ezakuba yisichaka sami. Abanye lonke buyelani kuyihlo ngokuthula.”
18 Tete Yuda te ɖe eŋu gblɔ be, “O, nye aƒetɔ, ɖe mɔ nam magblɔ nya ɖeka sia ko na wò. Gbɔ dzi ɖi nam vie, elabena menya be àte ŋu awɔ nu sia nu le aɖabaƒoƒo ɖeka me abe wòe nye Farao ene.
UJuda wasesondela kuye wathi, “Oh, nkosi yami, akuvumele inceku yakho itsho ilizwi enkosini yami. Ungayizondeli inceku yakho, loba wena ulingana loFaro ngokwakhe.
19 “Aƒetɔ, èbia mí be mía fofo alo mía nɔvi aɖe li mahã,
Inkosi yami yabuza izinceku zayo yathi, ‘Lilaye na uyihlo kumbe umfowenu?’
20 eye míegblɔ be, ‘Ɛ̃, mía fofo, amegãɖeɖi li, eye eƒe tsitsimevi, ŋutsuvi sue aɖe hã li. Dadavia ɖekɛ la ku; eya koe susɔ le dadaa ƒe viwo dome, eye fofoa lɔ̃e ŋutɔ.’
Thina saphendula sathi, ‘Silaye ubaba oseluphele, njalo ikhona indodana ayizala eseluphele. Umnewabo wafa, njalo yiyo yodwa eseleyo emadodaneni kanina, ngakho uyise uyayithanda.’
21 Ègblɔ na mí be, ‘Mikplɔe va afi sia be makpɔe ɖa.’
Wena wasusithi ezincekwini zakho, ‘Mletheni kimi ukuze ngimbone mina ngokwami.’
22 Ke megblɔ na wò be, ‘Aƒetɔ, ɖevi la mate ŋu adzo le fofoa gbɔ o, elabena eƒe dzodzo ana fofoa naku.’
Thina sathi enkosini yami, ‘Umfana ngeke asuka kuyise; nxa esuka kuye, uyise uzakufa.’
23 Ke ègblɔ na mí be, ‘Ne mia nɔvi suetɔ manɔ mia dome o la, ekema migava afi sia azɔ o.’
Kodwa izinceku zakho wazitshela wathi, ‘Ngaphandle kokuba umnawenu omncane lize laye, ngeke liphinde libubone njalo ubuso bami.’
24 Ale míetrɔ yi wò dɔla mía fofo gbɔ, eye míegblɔ nu si wò nye aƒetɔ gblɔ la nɛ.
Sathi ukubuyela encekwini yakho ubaba, samtshela lokho okwakutshiwo yinkosi yami.
25 Esi wògblɔ na mí be, ‘Migayi miaƒle nuɖuɖu vɛ’ la,
Ubaba wasesithi, ‘Buyelani liyethenga okunye njalo ukudla.’
26 míegblɔ be, ‘Míate ŋu ayi o, negbe ɖeko nàɖe mɔ na mí míakplɔ mía nɔvi suetɔ ɖe asi hafi. Eya ko hafi míate ŋu ayi.’
Kodwa thina sathi, ‘Ngeke siye khona. Kuphela nxa umnawethu omncane elathi, singahamba. Ngeke sibubone ubuso bendoda leyo ngaphandle kokuba umnawethu omncane silaye.’
27 “Ale mía fofo gblɔ na mí be, ‘Mienya be viŋutsu evee dadaa dzi nam,
Inceku yakho ubaba yathi kithi, ‘Liyakwazi ukuthi umkami wangizalela amadodana amabili.
28 eye ɖeka megatrɔ gbɔ o: lã aɖe anya lée kokoko; nyemegakpɔe kpɔ tso ɣe ma ɣi o.
Omunye wabo wasuka kimi, ngathi, “Ngempela udlithiziwe waba yizicucu.” Ngakho kangisaphindanga ngambona kusukela khonapho.
Manje lingangithathela lalo futhi abesesehlelwa ngokubi, lizakwehlisela ikhanda lami eliyimpunga engcwabeni ngidabukile kakhulu.’ (Sheol h7585)
30 Ke azɔ la, aƒetɔ, ne matrɔ ayi fofonye gbɔ, nyemakplɔ ɖevi la ɖe asi o, esi menya be fofonye melɔ̃a nu le ɖevi la gbɔ o,
Ngakho-ke, nxa umfana singelaye lapho sengibuyela encekwini yakho ubaba, yena ompilo yakhe isondelelene kakhulu leyomfana lo,
31 ne ekpɔ be ɖevi la megbɔ kpli mí o la, mía fofo aku, eye wòazu be míawoe na wòyi yɔ me kple nuxaxa. (Sheol h7585)
uzakuthi angabona umfana engekho, ahle afe. Thina zinceku zakho sizakusa ikhanda likababa eliyimpunga engcwabeni lihlulukelwe. (Sheol h7585)
32 Aƒetɔ, meɖe adzɔgbe na fofonye be makpɔ ɖevi la dzi nyuie. Megblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ne nyemekplɔ ɖevi la gbɔe o la, fɔɖiɖi sia nanɔ dzinye tegbee!’
Inceku yakho yanikela ukuphila kwayo ngokuphepha komfana kubaba. Ngathi, ‘Nxa ngingambuyisi kuwe, ngizawuthwala lowomlandu kuwe, baba, impilo yami yonke!’
33 Meɖe kuku na wò, na matsi afi sia abe wò kluvi ene ɖe ɖevi la teƒe, eye nàna ɖevi la natrɔ kple nɔvia bubuawo.
Ngakho-ke ngiyacela ukuthi uvumele inceku yakho isale lapha njengesichaka senkosi yami esikhundleni somfana, yena umfana akhululwe ahambe labanewabo.
34 Aleke mate ŋu atrɔ ayi fofonye gbɔ esime nyemakplɔ ɖevi la ɖe asi o? Nyemate ŋu akpɔ nu si nu sia awɔe la teƒe o.”
Ngingabuyela ngithini kubaba umfana ngingelaye? Hatshi! Ungangenzi ngibone usizi olungamehlela ubaba.”
