Olubereberye 37
1 Yakobo yabeeranga mu Kanani, ensi bajjajjaabe mwe baatambuliratambuliranga.
Yosef tenaa Kanaan asase a na nʼagya te so sɛ ɔhɔho no so.
2 Era bino bye bifa ku lulyo lwa Yakobo: Yusufu bwe yali nga wa myaka kkumi na musanvu ng’ali ne baganda be batabani ba Biira ne Zirifa, nga balunda ekisibo ky’endiga, Yusufu n’ategeezanga Yakobo kitaabwe ebintu ebibi bye baakolanga.
Yosef abusua ho asɛm ni: Bere a Yakob ba Yosef dii mfirihyia dunson no, na ɔboa ne nuanom a wɔyɛ Bilha ne Silpa a wɔyɛ nʼagya yerenom no mmabarima no hwɛ wɔn agya nguan so. Na ɔtaa bɛka nneyɛe bɔne a ɛkɔ so fa ne nuanom no ho no kyerɛ wɔn agya.
3 Bw’atyo Isirayiri n’ayagala nnyo Yusufu okusinga abaana be abalala, kubanga nga ye mwana ow’omu bukadde bwe; n’amutungira ekyambalo eky’amabala amangi.
Na Israel pɛ ne ba Yosef asɛm sen ne mma a wɔaka no nyinaa, efisɛ ɔwoo no ne nkwakoraabere mu; ɛno nti, ɔpam batakari bi a ɛyɛ fɛ maa no.
4 Naye baganda ba Yusufu bwe baalaba nga kitaabwe amwagala okusinga bo ne bakyawa Yusufu, ne batayinza na kwogera naye na kisa.
Bere a ne nuanom no huu sɛ wɔn agya pɛ nʼasɛm sen wɔn nyinaa no, wɔtan no a na wɔnka abodwosɛm nkyerɛ no.
5 Lumu Yusufu n’aloota ekirooto, n’agenda n’akitegeeza baganda be, ne beeyongera nnyo okumukyawa.
Da bi, Yosef soo dae. Ɔkaa dae a ɔsoo no kyerɛɛ ne nuanom mmarima no, wɔtan no sen kan no mpo.
6 Yabagamba nti, “Muwulire ekirooto kino kye naloose.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Muntie dae bi a maso.
7 Twali tusiba ebinywa by’eŋŋaano nga tuli mu nnimiro, ekinywa kyange ne kiyimuka ne kiyimirira; laba ebinywa byammwe ne bikyebungulula ne bikivuunamira.”
Mesoo dae, na yɛrekyekyere aburow afiafi wɔ afum. Bere a yegu so rekyekyere aburow no, amono mu hɔ ara, mʼafiafi a makyekyere no sɔre gyinaa ntenten. Mo afiafi a moakyekyere no nso twaa me de no ho hyia kotow no.”
8 Baganda be ne bamugamba nti, “Olowooza olitufuga? Olowooleza ddala nti tulibeera baddu bo?” Olwo ne beeyongera nnyo okumukyayira ddala olw’ekirooto kye n’ebigambo bye.
Yosef nuanom no bisaa no se, “Enti wʼadwene ne sɛ wubedi yɛn so ana? Wugye di sɛ, ampa ara, wubetumi aka yɛn ahyɛ?” Esiane ne dae a ɔsoo no ne asɛm a ɔkae no nti, ɛmaa ne nuanom no kyii no kɔkɔɔkɔ.
9 Ate n’aloota ekirooto ekirala n’akitegeeza baganda be, n’agamba nti, “Ndoose ekirooto ekirala: ne ndaba enjuba n’omwezi n’emmunyeenye ekkumi n’emu nga binvuunamira.”
Na ɔsoo dae bio. Ɔkaa dae a ɔsoo no kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Muntie: Maso dae foforo bio. Mesoo dae, na owia, ɔsram ne nsoromma dubaako rekotow me.”
10 Naye bwe yakitegeeza kitaawe ng’ali wamu ne baganda be, kitaawe n’amunenya ng’agamba nti, “Kirooto ki kino ky’oloose? Ddala nze ne nnyoko awamu ne baganda bo tulijja ne tuvuunama mu maaso go?”
Ɔkaa dae no kyerɛɛ nʼagya ne ne nuabarimanom no, nʼagya kaa nʼanim se, “Dae bɛn na woaso yi? Wopɛ sɛ wokyerɛ sɛ ampa ara, wo na ne me ne wo nuabarimanom no bɛba abɛkotow wo ana?”
11 Baganda be ne bamukwatirwa obuggya, kyokka ye kitaabwe n’akuuma ekigambo ekyo mu mutima gwe.
Eyi maa ne nuabarimanom no ani beree no mmoroso. Nanso nʼagya de, ɔdwenee asɛm no ho kɔɔ akyiri.
12 Awo baganda ba Yusufu ne bagenda okumpi ne Sekemu okulunda ekisibo kya kitaabwe.
Da bi, Yosef nuabarimanom no de wɔn agya nguan kɔɔ adidi wɔ Sekem.
13 Isirayiri n’alyoka agamba Yusufu nti, “Nga baganda bo bwe balundira e Sekemu, jjangu nkutume gye bali.” Yusufu n’amuddamu nti, “Nzuuno ntuma.”
Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Sɛnea wunim no, wo nuanom no de mmoa no kɔ adidi wɔ Sekem. Bra, na mensoma wo wɔn nkyɛn.” Yosef buae se, “Yoo, agya, mate.”
14 N’alyoka amugamba nti, “Genda kaakano olabe obanga baganda bo n’ekisibo bali bulungi, okomewo ontegeeze.” Awo n’amutuma okuva mu kiwonvu kya Kebbulooni, n’atuuka e Sekemu.
Enti Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Kɔ na kɔhwɛ sɛ wo nuanom ne nguan no ho te dɛn, na san bɛka biribi kyerɛ me.” Enti Israel somaa Yosef fii Hebron subon no mu. Bere a Yosef duu Sekem no,
15 Awo omusajja n’amulaba ng’atangatangira ku ttale, n’amubuuza nti, “Onoonya ki?”
ɔbarima bi huu no sɛ ɔnenam wura no mu. Ɔbarima no bisaa no se, “Worehwehwɛ dɛn?”
16 N’amuddamu nti, “Noonya baganda bange, nkwegayiridde mbuulira gye balundira ekisibo.”
Yosef buaa no se, “Merehwehwɛ me nuabarimanom. Mesrɛ wo, wubetumi akyerɛ me baabi a wɔde wɔn nguan no kɔ adidi?”
17 Omusajja n’amuddamu nti, “Beeyongerayo, kubanga nabawulira nga bagamba nti, ‘Ka tugende e Dosani.’” Awo Yusufu n’agoberera baganda be n’abasanga e Dosani.
Ɔbarima no buaa no se, “Wo nuabarimanom no afi ha kɔ. Metee sɛ wɔreka se, ‘Momma yɛnkɔ Dotan.’” Enti Yosef tiw ne nuanom no, kɔtoo wɔn wɔ Dotan hɔ.
18 Baganda be ne bamulengera ng’akyali wala, era bwe yali nga tannabasemberera ne bateesa bamutte.
Bere a Yosef puei no, wohuu no wɔ akyirikyiri sɛ ɔreba. Ansa na ɔredu wɔn nkyɛn no, wɔbɔɔ ne ho pɔw sɛ wobekum no.
19 Ne bagambagana nti, “Sekalootera wuuyo ajja.
Wɔkeka kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Monhwɛ! Ɔdaesofo no na ɔreba no!
20 Kale mujje tumutte, tumusuule mu kimu ku binnya; tuligamba nti, ‘Ensolo enkambwe ye yamulya; tulabe ebirooto bye bwe birituukirira.’”
Mommra mprempren ara mma yenkum no, na yɛntow no nkyene amoa no bi mu, na yɛnkɔka nkyerɛ yɛn agya se, aboa bi akyere no awe, na yɛnhwɛ sɛ biribi befi ne dae ahorow no mu aba ana.”
21 Naye Lewubeeni bwe yakiwulira n’agezaako okumuwonya mu mikono gyabwe n’agamba nti, “Tetumutta.
Ruben a ɔyɛ wɔn nua panyin tee saa asɛm no, ɔbɔɔ mmɔden sɛ obegye Yosef nkwa. Ɔkae se, “Mommma yenkum no.
22 Tuleme kuyiwa musaayi; ka tumusuule mu bunnya buno wano mu nsiko. Temumuteekako mukono gwammwe.” Yayogera bw’atyo alyoke amuwonye mu mikono gyabwe, amuddize kitaawe.
Munnhwie mogya ngu. Momma yɛntow no nkyene amoa a ɛwɔ sare yi so no bi mu. Na mommma yɛmfa yɛn nsa nka no.” Ruben kaa saa asɛm yi de gyee no fii wɔn nsam, sɛnea obenya kwan de no akɔhyɛ wɔn agya nsa.
23 Awo Yusufu bwe yatuuka ku baganda be ne bamwambulamu ekyambalo kye eky’amabala amangi kye yali ayambadde:
Yosef beduu ne nuabarimanom no nkyɛn no, wɔworɔw ne batakari fɛfɛ a na ɔhyɛ no,
24 ne bamutwala ne bamusuula mu bunnya obwali obukalu nga tebuliimu mazzi.
na wɔtow no kyenee amoa bi mu. Na nsu biara nni amoa no mu.
25 Awo bwe baatuula okulya, ne bayimusa amaaso ne balengera ekibiina ky’Abayisimayiri nga bava e Gireyaadi, ng’eŋŋamira zaabwe zeettise ebyakaloosa, n’envumbo ne mooli nga bali mu lugendo babitwala e Misiri.
Bere a anuanom no tenaa ase sɛ wɔredidi no, wɔtoo wɔn ani huu sɛ yoma bebree sa so reba faako a na wɔrebedidi hɔ no. Wohuu sɛ saa nkurɔfo no yɛ Ismaelfo aguadifo bi a wɔsoso atomude, akyenkyennuru ne kurobow a wɔde fi Gilead rekɔtɔn no wɔ Misraim asase so.
26 Yuda kwe kugamba baganda be nti, “Kitugasa ki okutta muganda waffe n’okuyiwa omusaayi gwe?
Yuda ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Sɛ yekum yɛn nua yi, kata ne mogya so a, mfaso bɛn na yebenya?
27 Tumuguze Abayisimayiri. Omukono gwaffe guleme okumubaako, kubanga muganda waffe, omubiri gwaffe gwennyini.” Baganda be ne bakkiriziganya naye.
Momma yenyi no, na yɛntɔn no mma Ismaelfo aguadifo yi, sen sɛ yebekum no. Ɛdan dɛn ara a, ɔyɛ yɛn nua kumaa, yɛn ankasa yɛn mogya.” Ne nuanom no penee so.
28 Abasuubuzi, Abayisimayiri bwe baabatuukako ne baggya Yusufu mu bunnya, ne bamuguza Abayisimayiri. Baamubaguza ebitundu bya ffeeza amakumi abiri; ne bamutwala e Misiri.
Bere a Midian aguadifo no beduu hɔ no, Yosef nuanom no yii no fii amoa no mu, tɔn no maa Ismaelfo no gyee dwetɛ gram ahannu aduonu awotwe ma wɔde no kɔɔ Misraim.
29 Lewubeeni bwe yadda n’alaga ku bunnya n’alaba nga Yusufu taliimu, n’ayuza engoye ze,
Ruben san nʼakyi baa amoa no ho, na ohuu sɛ Yosef nni amoa no mu no, osunsuan ne ntade mu.
30 n’addayo eri baganda be n’abagamba nti, “Omwana taliiyo. Kale naamunoonyeza wa?”
Ɔkɔɔ ne nuabarimanom no hɔ, kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Abarimaa no nni hɔ oo! Enti mprempren menyɛ me ho dɛn?”
31 Awo ne baddira ekyambalo kya Yusufu, ne batta embuzi, ne bakinnyika mu musaayi.
Na anuanom no faa Yosef batakari no, kum abirekyi, de batakari no nuu ne mogya no mu.
32 Ne baddira ekyambalo ekyo eky’amabala amangi ne bakitwalira kitaabwe ne bamugamba nti, “Twalaba ekyambalo kino, kikebere olabe obanga kye kya mutabani wo.”
Wɔde Yosef batakari fɛfɛ no kɔɔ wɔn agya nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yehuu saa atade yi wɔ wura mu hɔ baabi. Hwɛ sɛ ɛyɛ Yosef atade ana?”
33 N’akyetegereza n’agamba nti, “Kye kyambalo kya mutabani wange! Ensolo enkambwe yamulya. Ddala Yusufu yataagulwataagulwa.”
Wɔn agya hui, na ɔkae se, “Nokware, ɛyɛ me ba Yosef atade! Aboa bɔne bi akyere no awe. Ampa ara, aboa ko no atetew Yosef nam pasaa.”
34 Awo Yakobo n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’akungubagira Yusufu okumala ebbanga ddene.
Na Yakob sunsuan ne ntade mu, hyɛɛ atweaatam, suu ne ba no nna bebree.
35 Batabani be bonna ne bawala be ne bagenda gy’ali okumusanyusa, kyokka ye n’atakkiriza kusanyusibwa. N’agamba nti, “Nedda, ndikka emagombe nga nkyakungubagira omwana wange Yusufu.” Bw’atyo Yakobo n’akungubagira nnyo Yusufu. (Sheol h7585)
Ne mmabarima ne ne mmabea nyinaa betwaa ne ho hyia kyekyee ne werɛ, nanso ankosi hwee. Yakob kae se, “Dabi, mede awerɛhow bewu akɔto me ba no wɔ asaman.” Enti nʼagya Yakob suu no. (Sheol h7585)
36 Mu kiseera kyekimu Abamidiyaani bwe baatuuka e Misiri, Yusufu ne bamuguza Potifali, omu ku bakungu ba Falaawo; omukungu oyo ye yali omukulu wa bambowa.
Nea ɛbae ne sɛ, Midianfo no nso kɔtɔn Yosef maa Potifar wɔ Misraim. Saa Potifar no na ɔyɛ ɔhene Farao dabehene ne nʼawɛmfo so panyin.
