Olubereberye 43
1 Awo enjala bwe yayinga obungi mu nsi,
And the famine [was] heavy in the land.
2 era nga ne mmere gye baggya e Misiri yonna eriiriddwa, kitaabwe n’abagamba nti mugende mutugulire emmere.
And it was just when they finished to eat the grain which they had brought from Egypt and he said to them father their go back buy for us a little of food.
3 Naye Yuda n’amuddamu nti, “Omusajja yatukuutirira ddala ng’agamba nti, ‘Temulinyanga ekigere mu maaso gange nga temuzze na muganda wammwe.’
And he said to him Judah saying certainly he warned us the man saying not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.
4 Bw’onokkiriza tuserengete ne muganda waffe okugula emmere, olwo tunaagenda.
If there you [are] sending brother our with us we will go down and we will buy for you food.
5 Naye bw’otomukkirize kugenda naffe, tetujja kuserengeta, kubanga omusajja yatugamba nti, ‘Temugenda kulaba maaso gange nga muganda wammwe tali nammwe.’”
And if not you [are] sending [him] not we will go down for the man he said to us not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.
6 Isirayiri kwe kubaddamu nti, “Mwankola ki kino eky’obubalagaze ne mugamba omusajja nti mulina muganda wammwe omulala.”
And he said Israel why? did you do harm to me by telling to the man ¿ still [belong] to you [does] a brother.
7 Ne bagamba nti, “Omusajja yatubuuza nnyo ebitufaako awamu n’ebifa ku lulyo lwaffe, ng’abuuza nti, ‘Kitammwe gyali mulamu? Mulina muganda wammwe omulala?’ Kye twamutegeeza nga kiddamu buzzi ebibuuzo bye yatubuuzanga. Tetwamanya ng’anaatugamba okuserengesa muganda waffe.”
And they said carefully he asked the man of us and of kindred our saying ¿ still [is] father your living ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a brother and we told to him on [the] mouth of the words these ¿ really did we know that he will say bring down brother your.
8 Era Yuda n’agamba Isirayiri kitaawe nti, “Mpa omulenzi tulyoke tugende tube balamu, tuleme okufa enjala, ffe naawe n’abaana baffe.
And he said Judah to Israel father his send! the young man with me so let us arise and we will go and we may live and not we will die both we as well as you as well as little one[s] our.
9 Nze newaddeyo okumukuuma, olimubuuza nze. Bwe sirikumuddiza, ne mussa mu maaso go mbeereko omusango ennaku zonna.
I I will stand surety for him from hand my you will require him if not I have brought him to you and I will set him before you and I will be culpable to you all the days.
10 Kubanga singa tetwalwa twandibadde tukomyewo omulundi ogwokubiri.”
For if not we had delayed for now we have returned this two times.
11 Awo Isirayiri kitaabwe n’abagamba nti, “Bwe kinaaba bwe kityo, kale mukole bwe muti: mutwale ebimu ku bibala bya muno mu nsawo zammwe, mutwalire omusajja ekirabo: envumbo ntono, n’omubisi, n’omugavu, n’obubaane ne mooli n’ebinyeebwa ne Alumoni.
And he said to them Israel father their if so - then this do take some of [the] best products of the land in vessels your and take down to the man a gift a little of balm and a little of honey spice and myrrh pistachio nuts and almonds.
12 Mutwale n’ensimbi za mirundi ebiri nga mutwala na ziri ezaali ku mimwa gye nsawo zammwe, osanga omuntu yakola nsobi.
And silver double take in hand your and the silver that was returned in [the] mouth of sacks your you will take back in hand your perhaps [was] a mistake it.
13 Mutwale ne muganda wammwe, musituke muddeyo eri omusajja.
And brother your take and arise go back to the man.
14 Katonda Ayinzabyonna abawe omukisa mu maaso g’omusajja, alyoke aleke muganda wammwe oli awamu ne Benyamini bakomewo. Obanga obulumi bw’okufa kw’abaana bange bulintuukako, kale.”
And God Almighty may he give to you compassion before the man and he will let go to you brother your other and Benjamin and I just when I have been bereaved I have been bereaved.
15 Awo ne batwala ebirabo n’ensimbi za mirundi ebiri, ne Benyamini ne baserengeta naye e Misiri ne bayimirira mu maaso ga Yusufu.
And they took the men the gift this and double money they took in hand their and Benjamin and they arose and they went down Egypt and they stood before Joseph.
16 Awo Yusufu bwe yalaba nga bali ne Benyamini n’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Bayingize mu nnyumba, otte ensolo ofumbe ekijjulo, kubanga abasajja abo baakulya nange ekyemisana.”
And he saw Joseph with them Benjamin and he said to [the one] who [was] over household his bring the men the house towards and slaughter a slaughter and prepare [it] for with me they will eat the men at noon.
17 Omusajja n’akola nga Yusufu bwe yamulagira, n’ayingiza abasajja mu nnyumba ya Yusufu.
And he did the man just as he said Joseph and he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph.
18 Abasajja ne batya olw’okutwalibwa mu nnyumba ya Yusufu, ne bagamba nti kino kizze lwa nsimbi ezatuddizibwa ne ziteekebwa mu nsawo zaffe omulundi guli, kyetuvudde tuleetebwa wano, anoonye ensonga ku ffe atuvunaane, atufuule abaddu awambe n’endogoyi zaffe.
And they were afraid the men that they were brought [the] house of Joseph and they said on [the] matter of the silver which returned in sacks our at the beginning we [are] being brought to roll himself on us and to throw himself on us and to take us to slaves and donkeys our.
19 Awo ne bambuka n’omuweereza mu nnyumba ya Yusufu,
And they approached the man who [was] over [the] household of Joseph and they spoke to him [the] entrance of the house.
20 ne bagamba nti Ayi mukama waffe, twajja omulundi ogwasooka okugula emmere,
And they said pardon us O lord my certainly we came down at the beginning to buy food.
21 bwe twatuuka mu kifo we twasula, ne tusumulula ensawo zaffe, nga mu buli kamwa k’ensawo ya buli omu mulimu ensimbi ze ezaali ez’okugula emmere, kyetuvudde tuzizza,
And it was that we came to the lodging place and we opened! sacks our and there! [the] silver of each man [was] in [the] mouth of sack his silver our in weight its and we have brought back it in hand our.
22 era tuleese n’endala olw’okugula emmere. Tetumanyi yateeka nsimbi mu nsawo zaffe.
And silver other we have brought down in hand our to buy food not we know who? did he put silver our in sacks our.
23 Ye n’abaddamu nti, “Mubeere bagumu temutya. Katonda wammwe era Katonda wa kitammwe ye yabateekera obugagga mu nsawo zammwe; ensimbi zammwe nazifuna.” Awo kwe kubaleetera Simyoni.
And he said peace [be] to you may not you fear God your and [the] God of father your he gave to you treasure in sacks your silver your it came to me and he brought out to them Simeon.
24 Omusajja bwe yamala okuyingiza abasajja abo mu nnyumba ya Yusufu, nga bamaze n’okunaaba ebigere, ng’amaze n’okuliisa endogoyi zaabwe,
And he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph and he gave water and they washed feet their and he gave fodder to donkeys their.
25 ne bateekateeka ekirabo kya Yusufu bakimuwe mu ttuntu, kubanga baamanya nga bajja kuliira eyo.
And they prepared the gift until came Joseph at noon for they had heard that there they will eat food.
26 Yusufu bwe yakomawo eka ne bamuleetera ekirabo kye baalina ne bamuvuunamira.
And he came Joseph the house towards and they brought to him the gift which [was] in hand their the house towards and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.
27 N’ababuuza bwe bali, n’ababuuza nti, “Kitammwe akyali mulamu bulungi?”
And he asked of them to welfare and he said ¿ health [is] father your old whom you spoke ¿ [is] still he alive.
28 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ssebo, kitaffe akyali mulamu era ali bulungi.” Ne bavuunama mu bukkakkamu.
And they said health [belongs] to servant your to father our still he [is] alive and they bowed low (and they bowed down. *Q(K)*)
29 Yusufu bwe yayimusa amaaso, n’alaba Benyamini muganda we, mutabani wa nnyina. N’ababuuza nti, “Ono ye muto wammwe gwe mwantegeezako? Katonda akuwe omukisa mwana wange.”
And he lifted up eyes his and he saw Benjamin brother his [the] son of mother his and he said ¿ [is] this brother your young whom you spoke to me and he said God may he show favor to you O son my.
30 Awo Yusufu n’ayanguwa okuva mu maaso gaabwe, kubanga omutima gwe gwalumwa olwa muganda we, n’anoonya ekifo w’anaakabira. N’alinnya mu kisenge kye n’akaabira eyo.
And he hurried Joseph for they grew warm compassion his to brother his and he sought to weep and he went the inner room towards and he wept there.
31 N’anaaba amaziga n’afuluma, n’aguma n’alagira emmere egabwe.
And he washed face his and he came out and he restrained himself and he said set food.
32 Ye ne bamuwa eyiye yekka, ne baganda be bokka, n’Abamisiri abalya naye nabo ne bagabulwa bokka, kubanga Abamisiri tebalyanga n’Abaebulaniya, kubanga kyali kivve eri Abamisiri.
And they set for him to only him and to them to alone them and for the Egyptians who were eating with him to alone them for not they were able! the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews food for [is] an abomination it to Egypt.
33 Awo baganda ba Yusufu ne batuula mu maaso ge nga baddiriŋŋana okuva ku mukulu mu buzaale bwabwe okutuuka ku muto; ne batunulaganako nga beewuunya.
And they sat down before him the firstborn according to birthright his and the young [brother] according to youth his and they looked in astonishment the men each to neighbor his.
34 Yusufu n’abakoleza ebitole okuva ku mmeeza ye, naye ekitole kya Benyamini ne kisinga ekya baganda be emirundi etaano. Bwe batyo ne balya ne basanyukira wamu ne Yusufu.
And someone took portions from with face his to them and it was great [the] portion of Benjamin more than [the] portions of all of them five hands and they drank and they became drunk with him.
