Jenesis 44
1 Mgbe ahụ Josef nyere odibo nọ nʼụlọ ya iwu sị, “Gbajuo akpa ndị ikom ndị a nri. Tinyere ha nri nke onye ọbụla nʼime ha nwere ike ibu, tinyekwa ego nke onye ọbụla nʼime ha kwụrụ nʼọnụ akpa ya.
Afei, Yosef hyɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ panin no sɛ, “Fa aduane dodoɔ biara a mmarima no bɛtumi asoa no hyɛ wɔn nkotokuo no ma ma, na fa obiara sika nso hyɛ ne kotokuo mu ma no.
2 Ma tinye iko ọlaọcha m nʼime ọnụ akpa onye nke nta nʼime ha. Tinyekwa ego ọ kwụrụ nʼihi nri ọ zụrụ nʼime akpa ya.” Odibo a mere dịka Josef gwara ya.
Afei, fa me dwetɛ kuruwa no ka akumaa no aduane no sika ho, na fa hyɛ ne kotokuo no mu.” Na ɔsomafoɔ panin no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Yosef kaeɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
3 Mgbe chi bọrọ, ha zipụrụ ndị ikom ndị a, ha na ịnyịnya ibu ha.
Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, ɔgyaa anuanom no ne wɔn mfunumu no kwan.
4 Mgbe ha ji naanị ihe nta gafee obodo ahụ, Josef gwara odibo ya sị, “Bilie, chụso ndị ikom ndị ahụ ọsọ. I zute ha, sị ha, ‘Gịnị mere unu ji were ihe ọjọọ kwụghachi ihe ọma?
Wɔannuru akyiri baabiara, na Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ panin no sɛ, “Ti nkurɔfoɔ no ntɛm so, na sɛ woto wɔn a, bisa wɔn sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na mode bɔne tua papa so ka? Adɛn enti na moawia me dwetɛ kuruwa?
5 Gịnị mere unu ji zuru iko ọlaọcha nna m ukwu, iko o ji aṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ na nke o ji ajụ ase? Unu emeela ihe ọjọọ nʼihi ihe a unu mere.’”
Ɛnyɛ saa kuruwa yi a me wura nom ano na ɔhwɛ mu ka nhunumusɛm no nie? Yei yɛ bɔne kɛseɛ a moayɛ.’”
6 Mgbe odibo ahụ zutere ha, ọ gwara ha ihe ndị a.
Ɔkɔtoo wɔn no, ɔtii saa asɛm korɔ yi ara mu kyerɛɛ wɔn.
7 Ma ha zara sị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, gịnị mere i ji ekwu ụdị okwu ndị a? Ihe arụ ka ọ bụ anyị ime ihe dị otu a.
Nanso, anuanom no buaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na yɛn wura keka saa nsɛm yi? Ɛmpare wo nkoa sɛ wɔbɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛte saa!
8 Lee, ego anyị chọtara nʼọnụ akpa anyị ka anyị sitere nʼala Kenan weghachi. Olee otu anyị ga-esi zuru ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha site nʼụlọ nna gị ukwu?
Sika a yɛhunuu wɔ yɛn nkotokuo mu no, yɛansane amfa amfiri Kanaan ammrɛ mo anaa? Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛwia dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ firi wo wura fie?
9 Onye ọbụla nʼime anyị a chọtara iko a nʼaka ya ga-anwụ. Anyị onwe anyị ga-aghọrọ nna anyị ukwu ndị ohu.”
Sɛ wohunu saa kuruwa no wɔ wo nkoa no biara nkyɛn a, okum na ɛsɛ sɛ wokum saa onipa no. Na sɛ ɛba saa nso a, yɛn nyinaa bɛyɛ wo wura nkoa afebɔɔ.”
10 Odibo ahụ zara sị ha, “Ka ọ dịrị dịka unu kwuru. Onye ọbụla a chọtara ya nʼaka ga-abụ ohu m. Ma ndị a na-achọtaghị ya nʼaka ha enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla.”
Ɔsomfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, na deɛ ɔwiaeɛ no nko na ɔbɛyɛ mʼakoa. Na mo a moaka no bɛfa mo ho adi.”
11 Ha mere ngwangwa, onye ọbụla tọdatara akpa ya. Onye ọbụla kwa meghere akpa ya.
Anuanom no nyinaa yiyii wɔn nnesoa no firii mfunumu no so, guu fam, sane sanee wɔn nkotokuo no ano.
12 Odibo ahụ malitere nʼonye ukwu nʼetiti ha chọọ rute nʼonye nta. Ọ bụ nʼakpa Benjamin ka a chọtara iko ahụ.
Afei, ɔsomfoɔ panin no firii aseɛ, hwehwɛɛ wɔn nkotokuo no mu firi ɔpanin no so kɔsii akumaa no so. Wɔhunuu kuruwa no wɔ Benyamin kotokuo no mu.
13 Mgbe ahụ, ha dọwara uwe ha nʼihi mwute. Onye ọbụla nʼime ha tighachiri ibu ya nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu ya. Ha niile bidokwara ịlaghachi azụ nʼobodo ha si pụta.
Ɛbaa saa no, anuanom no sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu. Afei, wɔn nyinaa sane hyehyɛɛ wɔn nnesoa no wɔ wɔn mfunumu no so, sanee wɔn akyiri, kɔɔ kuro no mu bio.
14 Mgbe Juda na ụmụnne ya lọghachiri nʼụlọ Josef, ha hụrụ Josef ka ọ nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ha dara nʼala nʼihu ya.
Ɛberɛ a Yuda ne ne nuanom no kɔduruu kuro no mu hɔ no, na Yosef da so wɔ ne fie hɔ. Enti, wɔn nyinaa totoo wɔn ho guu fam wɔ nʼanim.
15 Ma Josef jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị bụ ihe a unu mere? Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na onye dịka m nwere ike ịmata onye zuru iko m?”
Yosef bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn adeɛ na moayɛ yi? Monnim sɛ onipa a ɔte sɛ me nam nhunumusɛm so bɛtumi ahunu biribiara mu?”
16 Ya mere Juda sị ya, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-ekwu? Olee otu anyị ga-esi gosi nʼaka anyị dị ọcha? Chineke ekpugheela ikpe ọmụma ndị ohu gị. Lee, anyị bụkwa ndị ohu onyenwe m. Anyị onwe anyị, tinyekwara onye a chọtara iko ahụ nʼaka ya.”
Yuda buaa sɛ, “Anoyie bɛn na yɛbɛtumi ayi wɔ me wura anim? Asɛm bɛn na yɛwɔ ka? Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi ama woahunu sɛ yɛnni saa asɛm yi ho fɔ? Onyame ada yɛn wʼasomfoɔ afɔdie yi adi. Yɛne deɛ wɔhunuu kuruwa no wɔ no nkyɛn no nyinaa yɛ yɛn wura nkoa”.
17 Ma Josef sịrị, “Ọ ga-abụrụ m ajọ omume ime ihe dị otu ahụ. Naanị nwoke ahụ a chọpụtara iko ahụ nʼakpa ya bụ onye ga-abụ ohu m. Ma unu onwe unu nwere ike laa nʼudo jekwuru nna unu nʼudo.”
Nanso, Yosef kaa sɛ, “Ɛmpare me sɛ mɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛte saa. Onipa a wɔhunuu kuruwa no wɔ ne nkyɛn no nko ara na ɔbɛyɛ mʼakoa. Mo a moaka no deɛ, monsane nkɔ mo agya nkyɛn asomdwoeɛ mu.”
18 Juda jekwuuru ya, sị, “Biko, onyenwe m, kwere ka ohu gị gwa gị okwu. Ewesola mụ bụ ohu gị iwe nʼihi na ị nọ ọnọdụ dị ka Fero.
Yuda sɔre kɔɔ Yosef anim, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma me a meyɛ wʼakoa no ɛkwan na me ne wo, me wura, nkasa. Ɛwom sɛ, wo ne Farao yɛ pɛ deɛ, nanso mesrɛ wo, nya aboterɛ ma wo ɔsomfoɔ.
19 Onyenwe m, ọ bụ gị jụrụ ndị ohu gị ajụjụ sị, ‘Unu nwere nna maọbụ nwanne?’
Me wura bisaa nʼasomfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Mowɔ agya anaa onuabarima bi?’
20 Anyị zara sị, ‘Anyị nwere nna onye bụ agadi, na otu nwa nwoke ọ mụtara nʼagadi ya. Nwanne nwantakịrị nwoke a anwụọla, ya mere naanị otu a fọdụrụ nʼime ụmụ nke nne ha mụtara. Nna ya hụkwara ya nʼanya.’
Na yɛbuaa sɛ, ‘Yɛwɔ agya a wabɔ akɔkoraa ne yɛn kaakyire a ɔwoo no ne nkɔkoraaberɛ mu. Ne nuabarima a ɔka ne ho no awu. Na ɔno nko ara ne ne maame ba a waka. Nʼagya pɛ nʼasɛm yie.’
21 “Mgbe ahụ, ị sị ndị ohu gị, ‘Kpọta nwantakịrị a ka m hụ ya anya.’
“Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wʼasomfoɔ sɛ, ‘Momfa no mmra, na menhwɛ no.’
22 Ma anyị gwara onyenwe m sị na ‘Nwata a apụghị ịhapụ nna ya, nʼihi na nna ya ga-anwụ ma ọ bụrụ na ọ hapụ ya.’
Yɛka kyerɛɛ me wura sɛ, ‘Abarimaa no rentumi nte ne ho mfiri nʼagya ho. Na sɛ ɛba sɛ ɔte ne ho firi nʼagya ho a, nʼagya no bɛwu.’
23 Ma ị gwara ndị ohu gị sị, ‘Unu agaghị ahụ ihu m anya ọzọ, ma ọ bụrụ na nwanne unu a esoghị unu gbadata.’
Ɛnna woka kyerɛɛ wʼasomfoɔ sɛ. ‘Sɛ moamfa mo nua kumaa no anka mo ho amma a, monnsi mʼanim bio.’
24 Mgbe anyị lakwuuru ohu gị bụ nna anyị, anyị gwara ya okwu onyenwe m kwuru.
Yɛsane kɔɔ wʼakoa, yɛn agya nkyɛn no, yɛkaa wo a woyɛ yɛn wura no nsɛm a woka kyerɛɛ yɛn no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
25 “Mgbe nna anyị gwara anyị sị, ‘Laghachi gaa zụta nri,’
“Ɛnna yɛn agya kaa sɛ, ‘Monsane nkɔ bio nkɔtɔ aduane kakra mmra.’
26 anyị gwara ya na, ‘Anyị agaghị agbada ma ọ bụrụ na nwanne anyị nta agaghị eso anyị. Nʼihi na anyị enweghị ike ịhụ nwoke ahụ anya, ma ọ bụrụ na nwanne anyị nta esoghị anyị.’
Nanso, yɛka kyerɛɛ yɛn agya sɛ, ‘Yɛrentumi nkɔ, gye sɛ yɛn nua kumaa no ka yɛn ho. Sɛ yɛamfa yɛn nua kumaa no anka yɛn ho ankɔ a, yɛrentumi nkɔ owura no anim.’
27 “Oge ahụ, ohu gị bụ nna anyị sịrị anyị, ‘Unu maara na nwunye m mụụrụ m ụmụ nwoke abụọ.
