Olubereberye 45
1 Awo Yusufu n’atasobola kwefuga n’alemererwa okwongera okwekuuma mu maaso gaabo bonna abaaliwo; kwe kulagira nti, “Muggyeewo abantu bonna mu maaso gange.” Bwe kityo ne wataba muntu mulala yenna Yusufu bwe yali yeeraga eri baganda be.
Afei, na Yosef yɛ ne ho biribiara a, ɛnyɛ yie wɔ nʼasomfoɔ no nyinaa anim. Enti, ɔteaam kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ no sɛ, “Obiara mfiri ha nkɔ.” Enti, ɛberɛ a ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no, na asomfoɔ no mu biara nni hɔ.
2 Awo n’akaaba mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, n’Abamisiri ne bamuwulira era n’ennyumba yonna eya Falaawo nabo ne bamuwulira.
Ɔsuu dendeenden maa Misraimfoɔ no teeɛ. Ɛyɛɛ saa ma ɛduruu Farao fiefoɔ asom.
3 Yusufu n’agamba baganda be nti, “Nze Yusufu, kitange akyali mulamu?” Naye baganda be ne batayinza kumuddamu, kubanga okweraliikirira kwabayinga mu maaso ge.
Afei, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuammarimanom no sɛ, “Mene Yosef! Mʼagya te ase anaa?” Asɛm no yɛɛ wɔn nwanwa yie ma ɛtɔree wɔn mumu wɔ nʼanim.
4 Awo Yusufu n’agamba baganda be nti, “Mbasaba munsemberere.” Ne basembera gy’ali. N’abagamba nti, “Nze muganda wammwe Yusufu gwe mwatunda e Misiri.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuammarimanom no sɛ, “Montwe mmɛn me.” Wɔtwe bɛn no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mene mo nuabarima Yosef. Me na motɔnee me maa wɔde me kɔɔ Misraim no.
5 Naye kaakano temuggwaamu mwoyo, oba temwekubagiza olw’okuntunda wano, kubanga Katonda yantuma mbasookeyo nsobole okuwonya obulamu.
Mommma biribiara nha mo. Na monnkasakasa so sɛ motɔnee me maa wɔde mebaa ha. Onyankopɔn na ɔyɛeɛ. Ɔno na ɔsomaa me, dii mo anim baa ha sɛ memmɛgye mo nkwa.
6 Kubanga enjala ebadde mu nsi okumala emyaka gino ebiri; era wakyaliyo emirala etaano egitalibaamu kulima wadde okukungula.
Mfeɛ mmienu ni a ɛkɔm baa asase yi so. Mfeɛ enum a ɛreba yi nso, obiara rennua, na obiara nso rentwa.
7 Era Katonda yantuma mbasookeyo mbakuumire abalisigalawo ku nsi; ndyoke mbawonyezeewo abantu abangi ennyo mu ngeri ey’ekitalo.
Onyankopɔn asoma me ha sɛ, memma mo ne mo fiefoɔ ntena nkwa mu, na moayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.
8 “Noolwekyo si mmwe mwansindika wano, wabula Katonda; era anfudde kitaawe wa Falaawo, era mukama w’ennyumba ye era omufuzi w’ensi yonna ey’e Misiri.
“Enti, ɛnyɛ mo na mode mebaa ha, na ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn ankasa! Wayɛ me Farao fotufoɔ ne ne fie sohwɛfoɔ, ɛnna ɔde Misraiman nyinaa nso ahyɛ me nsa.
9 Kale mwanguwe, mwambuke eri kitange mumugambe nti, ‘Bw’ati mutabani wo Yusufu bw’agamba nti, Katonda anfudde mufuzi wa Misiri yenna; serengeta gye ndi, tolwa;
Afei, monka mo ho nkɔ mʼagya nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ wo babarima Yosef seɛ ni, Onyankopɔn ayɛ me Misraiman nyinaa sohwɛfoɔ. Enti, ntwentwɛn wo nan ase koraa, na bra Misraim!
10 ojja kubeera mu Goseni, olibeera kumpi nange. Ggwe n’abaana bo, n’abaana b’abaana bo, ebisibo byammwe, amagana gammwe ne byonna bye mulina;
Wobɛba abɛtena Gosen asase so, na woabɛn me. Fa wo mma, wo nananom, wo nnwan ne wʼanantwie ne biribiara a wowɔ bra.
11 eyo gye nnaabagabiririranga; si kulwa nga mmwe n’ennyumba zammwe ne byonna bye mulina biggwaawo.’
Sɛ woba hɔ a, mɛhwɛ wo, ɛfiri sɛ saa ɛkɔm kɛseɛ yi aka mfeɛ enum. Sɛ anyɛ saa a, wo ne wo fiefoɔ ne wɔn a wɔka wo ho nyinaa bɛdi hia buruburoo.’
12 “Era kaakano mwerabiddeko n’amaaso gammwe era ne muganda wange Benyamini akyerabiddeko nti nze njogera nammwe.
“Mo ne me nua Benyamin nyinaa di adanseɛ sɛ, ampa ara, ɛyɛ me Yosef na me ne morekasa yi.
13 Muteekwa okutegeeza kitange ekitiibwa kye nnina mu Misiri, ne byonna bye mulabye. Temulwa, muserengese kitange wano.”
Monka animuonyam a Onyame adom enti, wɔahyɛ me wɔ Misraim asase so ne biribiara a mo ankasa mode mo ani abɛhunu no nyinaa ho asɛm nkyerɛ mʼagya. Monkɔfa mʼagya nsiane mmrɛ me ntɛm so.”
14 Awo Yusufu n’agwa Benyamini mu kifuba n’akaaba ne Benyamini n’akaabira ku kibegabega kye.
Ɔyɛɛ Benyamin atuu, suiɛ, a anigyeɛ ne awerɛhoɔ adi afra. Benyamin nso firii aseɛ suiɛ.
15 N’agwa baganda be mu kifuba, n’akaabira buli omu ku bo; n’oluvannyuma baganda be ne boogera naye.
Ɔfefee ne nuanom no nyinaa ano suiɛ, na ɛno akyiri no, wɔtumi ne no kasaeɛ.
16 Ebigambo eby’okujja kwa baganda ba Yusufu bwe byawulirwa mu nnyumba ya Falaawo ne bisanyusa nnyo Falaawo n’abaweereza be.
Ɛberɛ a wɔtee wɔ Farao fie sɛ Yosef nuanom no aba no, Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa ani gyeeɛ.
17 Falaawo n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Gamba baganda bo nti, ‘Mukole bwe muti: mutikke ensolo zammwe muddeyo mu nsi ya Kanani,
Afei, Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ wo nuanom no se, wɔmfa nneɛma nsoasoa wɔn mmoa no, na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so,
18 munone kitammwe n’abantu bammwe n’ebyammwe mujje gye ndi, ndibawa ekifo ekisinga obulungi mu nsi y’e Misiri, nammwe mulirya obulungi obw’ensi.’
na wɔnkɔfa wɔn agya ne wɔn abusuafoɔ nyinaa mmra Misraim asase so ha mmɛtena ha. Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Farao bɛma mo Misraim asase no fa a ɛyɛ pa ara atena so. Wɔbɛdi asase no so nnepa!’
19 “Era balagire batwale amagaali okuva mu nsi y’e Misiri olw’abaana baabwe abato ne bakyala bammwe, mujje ne kitammwe.
“Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momfa nteaseɛnam mfiri Misraim ha nkɔfa mo yerenom ne mo mma. Momfa mo agya nso nka ho mmra.
20 Wabula ebintu byammwe tebibateganya nnyo, kubanga ebisinga obulungi mu Misiri yenna bijja kuba byammwe.”
Monnha mo ho wɔ mo agyapadeɛ ho, ɛfiri sɛ, mede nnepa a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa no bi bɛma mo.’”
21 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola bwe batyo; Yusufu n’abawa amagaali, nga Falaawo bwe yalagira n’abawa n’entanda ey’omu kkubo.
Enti, Yosef maa wɔn nteaseɛnam ne nnuane a wɔbɛdi wɔ ɛkwan so, sɛdeɛ Farao hyɛeɛ no.
22 Buli omu ku bo n’amuwa ebyambalo eby’okukyusa, naye ye Benyamini n’amuwa ebitundu bya ffeeza ebikumi bisatu n’ebyambalo eby’okuwanyisa emigogo etaano.
Ɔmaa ne nuanom no mu biara atadeɛ foforɔ, nanso Benyamin deɛ, ɔmaa no ntadeɛ ahodoɔ enum ne dwetɛ kilogram mmiɛnsa ne fa.
23 Kitaawe n’amuweereza endogoyi kkumi ezeetisse ebintu ebirungi eby’e Misiri n’endogoyi enkazi kkumi ezeetisse emmere, emigaati n’entanda ya kitaawe bw’aliba ajja.
Saa nneɛma a ɛdidi so yi nso na Yosef de kɔmaa nʼagya Israel: mfunumunini edu a wɔahyehyɛ Misraim nneɛma pa wɔ wɔn so, mfunumubereɛ edu a wɔsoso aburoo, burodo ne nnuane ahodoɔ ne nʼakwansoduane.
24 Awo n’asiibula baganda be. Bwe baali bagenda n’abagamba nti, “Temuyombera mu kkubo.”
Ɔgyaa ne nuanom no kwan, na akwannya no mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnkɔkasakasa wɔ ɛkwan so.”
25 Bwe batyo ne bambuka okuva mu Misiri ne batuuka mu nsi ya Kanani eri kitaabwe Yakobo.
Enti, wɔfirii Misraiman mu kɔɔ wɔn agya Israel nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan asase so.
26 Bwe baatuuka ne bamutegeeza nti Yusufu akyali mulamu, era y’afuga ensi y’e Misiri yonna. Bwe yawulira ebyo n’awunga n’atasobola kubakkiriza.
Wɔduruiɛ no, wɔde anigyeɛ bɔɔ wɔn agya amaneɛ sɛ, “Yosef te ase! Nokwasɛm nie, ɔno na ɔdi Misraiman nyinaa so!” Israel tee saa asɛm yi no, ne ho dwirii no. Wannye anni.
27 Naye bwe baamutegeeza ebigambo bya Yusufu byonna bye yabagamba, era bwe yalaba amagaali Yusufu ge yaweereza okumutwala n’addamu omwoyo;
Na ɛberɛ a wɔkaa nsɛm a Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛka no wieeɛ no, na ɔhunuu nteaseɛnam a Yosef de somaa sɛ wɔmfa mmɛfa no no, wɔn agya Yakob ho sanee no.
28 n’agamba nti, “Mmatidde, omwana wange Yusufu akyali mulamu. Nzija kugenda mulabe nga sinnafa.”
Afei, Israel kaa sɛ, “Magye nsɛm no nyinaa adi. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ, Yosef te ase. Mɛkɔ makɔhunu no ansa na mawu.”
