Genesisy 42
1 Naho nioni’ Iakòbe te e Mitsraime añe ty mahakama, le hoe t’Iakòbe amo ana’eo, Ino ty ifangarefa’ areo?
Kwathi uJakhobe esezwile ukuthi amabele ayekhona eGibhithe wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Kungani likhangelana nje?”
2 Inao, hoe re, tsinanoko te aman-tsako ty Mitsraime; akia mizotsoa mb’eo vaho iviliaño ho an-tika, hiveloman-tika fa tsy hivetrake.
Waqhubeka wathi, “Sengizwile ukuthi amabele akhona eGibhithe. Yehlani liye khona liyesithengela wona ukuze siphile singafi.”
3 Aa le nizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ty rahalahi’ Iosefe folo hikalo mahakama añe.
Ngakho abanewabo bakaJosefa behla bayathenga amabele eGibhithe.
4 Fe tsy nampindreze’ Iakòbe amo zoke’eo t’i Beniamine zai’ Iosefe fa hoe re, ke ho zoem-boiñe.
Kodwa uJakhobe kamthumanga labanye uBhenjamini, umnawakhe kaJosefa ngoba wesaba ukuthi angaqabuka ewelwa yingozi.
5 Aa le nindre amo nañavelo mb’eo hikaloo, o ana’Israeleo, amy te an-tane’ Kanàne ao ka i san-kèrey.
Kungakho amadodana ka-Israyeli ayeludwendwe lunye lalabo ababesiyathenga amabele njengoba indlala yayikhona laselizweni leKhenani.
6 Toe nimpifehe i taney t’Iosefe, mpandetak’ amy ze fonga ondati’ i taney. Le nimb’eo o rahalahi’ Iosefeo nibaboke an-tane aolo’e eo.
Ngalesosikhathi uJosefa wayengumbusi welizwe, enguye othengisela abantu bonke amabele. Ngakho abafowabo bakaJosefa bathi befika khona bamkhothamela, bathi mbo ngobuso phansi.
7 Aa naho nahaisake o rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe, le nifohi’e, fe nimintse ho ambahiny am’iereo, vaho nendakendaha’e, Boak’aia v’inahareoo? hoe re. Hoe iereo, Hirik’an-tane Kanàne añe hikalo mahakama.
UJosefa wonela ukubabona abafowabo, wabazi, kodwa wazitshaya owezizweni, wabakhulumisa ngokubakhahlameza. Wababuza wathi, “Livela ngaphi?” Baphendula bathi, “Sivela elizweni laseKhenani ukuzathenga ukudla.”
8 Toe nirendre’ Iosefe o rahalahi’eo, f’ie tsy naharendreke aze.
Lanxa uJosefa wabazi abafowabo, bona kabamazanga.
9 Nitiahi’ Iosefe o ninofise’e iareoo, le hoe re am’ iereo, Mpifilo nahareo, nivotrak’ atoy hahaisake ty fihaloa’ o taneo!
Ngakho wasekhumbula amaphupho akhe ngabo wasesithi kubo, “Lizinhloli! Lilande ukuzabona lapho ilizwe lethu elingavikelekanga khona.”
10 Le hoe iereo tama’e, Aiy, ry talèko, ty hikalo mahakama ty nitsatoha’ o mpitoro’oo atoy.
Baphendula bathi, “Hatshi, nkosi yethu. Izinceku zakho zize ukuzothenga ukudla.
11 Songa ana’ t’indaty raike zahay; ondaty vantañe, fa tsy mpisary tane o mpitoro’oo.
Singamadodana endoda yinye sonke. Izinceku zakho zingabantu abaqotho, kazisizo zinhloli.”
12 Hoe re am’ iereo: Aiy, toe nimb’atoy nahareo handrendreke ty fiboridaña’ o taneo!
Wathi kubo, “Hatshi! Lize ukuzabona lapho ilizwe lethu elingavikelekanga khona.”
13 Hoe iereo, Mpitoro’o zahay, roahalahy folo-ro’ amby, ana’ t’indaty e Kanàne ao, fe an-drae’ay añe ty tsitso’e vaho tsy eo ty raike.
Kodwa baphendula bathi, “Izinceku zakho zaziyizelamani ezilitshumi lambili, engamadodana endoda yinye, ehlala elizweni laseKhenani. Icinathunjana lisele lobaba, ikanti eyodwa kayisekho.”
14 Aa hoe t’Iosefe am’ iereo: Ie i vinolako ama’areoy, toe mpisary nahareo.
UJosefa wathi kubo, “Kunjengoba ngilitshelile: Lizinhloli!
15 Inao t’ie tsoheko: kanao veloñe t’i Parò, tsy hiavotse atoy nahareo naho tsy pok’ atoy heik’ i tsitso’areoy!
Manje-ke lizahlolwa kanje: Ngifunga uFaro, kaliyikusuka lapha ngaphandle kokuthi umfowenu omncinyane afike lapha.
16 Ampihitrifo ami’ty raik’ ama’ areo i zai’ areoy le hambenañe an-drohy ao nahareo, hitsohañe ty enta’ areo ke ama’areo ty hato, fa naho tsie, kanao veloñe t’i Parò, le mpipiapia.
Thumani omunye wenu amlande umfowenu; lonke abanye lizagcinwa entolongweni, ukuze amazwi enu ahlolisiswe ukuthi lingabe likhuluma iqiniso yini. Nxa kungenjalo, ngifunga uFaro, lizinhloli!”
17 Aa le fonga natonto’e am-balabey ao telo andro.
Wasebafaka entolongweni bonke okwensuku ezintathu.
18 Ie amy andro fahateloy, le ty hoe ty nanoa’ Iosefe, Ano zao soa te ho veloñe, amy te mpañeveñ’ aman’ Añahare iraho:
Ngosuku lwesithathu uJosefa wathi kubo, “Yenzani lokhu ukuze lisile, ngoba mina ngesaba uNkulunkulu:
19 aa naho ondaty vañoñe nahareo, angao an-traño nandrohizañe anahareo atoy ty rahalahi’ areo raike. Le akia, añendeso mahakama ty amy hasalikoañey o keleia’ areoo,
Nxa lingabantu abaqotho, omunye wenu kahlale lapha entolongweni, kuthi lina abanye libuyele lihambisele izimuli zenu amabele esezibulawa yindlala.
20 vaho endeso mb’etoa i tsitso’ areoy, hañato o enta’ areoo, le tsy hikoromake. Aa le nanoe’ iereo.
Kodwa limlethe lapha kimi umnawenu omncane ukuze amazwi enu aqiniseke, njalo ukuze lingafi.” Bakwenza lokho.
21 Hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo, Inao, toly aman-tika ty nanoen-tika amy rahalahin-tikañey, nionin-tika i halovilovim-piai’ey, ie nitoreo aman-tikañe, ie tsy nete nitsanoñe. Toly ndra hehe ty fangovitañe mifetsak’ aman-tikañe.
Basebekhulumisana bathi, “Ngempela sijeziselwa umfowethu. Sambona ukuthi wayekhathazeke kangakanani esincenga, ezincengela impilo yakhe, kodwa kasaze samlalela; kungakho sisehlelwa luhlupho lolu.”
22 Natoi’ i Reòbene ty hoe, Tsy vinolako hao te tsy hanoan-draty i ajalahiy? F’ie tsy nañaoñe vaho hehe te paiaeñe i lio’ey.
URubheni waphendula wathi, “Kodwa kangilitshelanga yini ukuthi lingenzi isono emfaneni lina laqinisa amakhanda? Nanku-ke sesimele sifakaze ngegazi lakhe.”
23 Namoea’ iareo te nirendre’ Iosefe iaby i hoe zay fa ampañivoa’ iareo ty mpandika.
Babengakunanzeleli ukuthi uJosefa wayeluzwa ulimi lwabo njengoba wayelomtolikelayo.
24 Nivìk’ am’iareo hey re nirovetse, naho nibalike le nisaontsy, naho jinobo’e am’ iereo t’i Simone vaho rinohi’e aolom-pihaino’ iareo.
Wabafulathela wachiphiza izinyembezi, kodwa waphenduka wakhuluma labo. Wathi kuthathwe uSimiyoni kubo owahle wabotshwa phambi kwabo.
25 Nandily t’Iosefe le natsafeñe tsako o goni’ iareoo naho songa nahereñe am’ondatio an-goni’e ao ty drala’e vaho nivatieñe amy liay. Nanoeñe ho a’ iareo izay.
UJosefa waselaya ukuthi kugcwaliswe amabele emasakeni abo, kubuyiselwe imali yalowo lalowo ifakwe phakathi kwesaka lakhe njalo baphiwe umphako wendlela. Sebekwenzelwe konke lokho,
26 Nalogologo’ iereo ambone’ o borìke’eo o mahakamao vaho nienga.
betshata amasaka abo kubobabhemi bahamba.
27 Aa teo ty nanokak’ i goni’ey hivaty i borìke’ey t’ie nitobe, nizoe’e i drala’ey, inge t’ie am-bava’ i goniy eo.
Endaweni lapho abema khona ngalobubusuku omunye wabo wavula isaka lakhe ukuthathela ubabhemi wakhe ukudla, wasebona imali yakhe yesiliva emlonyeni wesaka.
28 Hoe re amo rahalahi’eo, Nabalik’ amako i dralakoy, ie o an-gonikoo. Ho namoe’ay iereo fa nirevendreveñe, le nifanao ty hoe, Ino ty nanoan’ Añahare aman-tikañe?
Wathi kubafowabo, “Isiliva sami sibuyiselwe. Nansi lapha phakathi kwesaka lami.” Zatshona inhliziyo zabo bakhangelana bethuthumela bathi, “Kuyini kambe lokhu uNkulunkulu asekwenzile kithi?”
29 Ie pok’ aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe, le natalily ama’e ze hene nifetsak’ am’iereo, ami’ty hoe,
Bathi sebefike kuyise uJakhobe elizweni laseKhenani bamtshela konke lokho okwakwenzakele kubo. Bathi,
30 Nañomey tsipeha anay indatiy, ty talè’ i taney nanisy anay te inao mpijekejeke amy taney.
“Indoda eyinkosi yelizwe isikhulumise ngokusihalada, yasiphatha kwangathi sizinhloli elizweni.
31 Fe hoe ty natoi’ay ama’e, Ondaty mahity zahay fa tsy mpitingañe.
Kodwa sathi kuyo, ‘Singamadoda aqotho; kasisizonhloli thina.
32 Mpirahalahy folo ro’ amby zahay, foetse raik’ aman-drae’ay; tsy eo ty raike, vaho aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe ty tsitso’e henaneo.
Sasiyizelamani ezilitshumi lambili, amadodana endoda yinye. Omunye sowedlula, kuthi icinathunjana lisele lobaba eKhenani.’
33 Le hoe indatiy, i mpifehe’ i taney ama’aiy, amy hoe zao ty haharendrehako te ondaty vantañe nahareo: angao amako atoy ty raik’ amo rahalahi’ areoo, indeso mahakama ty amo hasalikoañeo o añ’anjomba’ areoo, vaho mañaveloa;
Ngakho umuntu oyinkosi yalelolizwe wasesithi kithi, ‘Nanku okuzangenza ngazi ukuthi lingabantu abaqotho: Tshiyani omunye umfowenu lapha kimi, lithathe ukudla kwezimuli zenu ezilambayo lihambe.
34 fe hitrifo mb’atoy i tsitso’ areoy haharendrehako te tsy mpifilo nahareo fa ondaty vañoñe. Ie amy zay, havotsoko ama’areo i rahalahi’oy vaho hikalo an-tane atoy nahareo.
Kodwa umnawenu limlethe kimi khona ngizakwazi ukuthi kalisizinhloli, kodwa lingabantu abaqotho. Lapho-ke ngizambuyisela kini umfowenu, lani selingazithengisela phakathi kwelizwe.’”
35 Ie sambe nampidoañe ty goni’e, le hehe te amy goni’ey ty kotran-drala’e. Aa naho niisa’ iereo naho i rae’ iareo o kotran-drala’ iareoo, le nangebahebake.
Bathi sebethulula amasaka abo, babona umxhaka wesiliva waleyo laleyo ndoda esakeni layo! Kwathi bona ngokwabo kanye loyise bebona imixhaka yemali besaba.
36 Le hoe ty nanoa’ Iakòbe rae’ iareo, Toe nampihontoha’ areo ahy o anakoo, tsy eo t’Iosefe, tsy eo t’i Simone vaho te hampisintone’ areo ka t’i Beniamine. Fonga nidoñ’ amako!
Uyise uJakhobe wathi kubo, “Selingephuce abantwabami. UJosefa kasekho, loSimiyoni kasekho; manje selifuna ukuthatha uBhenjamini. Yonke into iyangihlamukela!”
37 Aa hoe ty asa’ i Reòbene aman-drae’e, Vonò i ana-dahiko roe rey naho tsy hendeseko mimpoly ama’o atoy. Apoho an-tañako ato le izaho ty hampipoly aze ama’o.
URubheni wasesithi kuyise, “Ungawabulala womabili amadodana ami nxa ngingangambuyisi kuwe. Mnikele ezandleni zami, mina ngizambuyisa.”
38 Fe hoe re, Tsy hizotso mb’eo i anakoy, mate i rahalahi’ey le ie ty honka’e. Aa ie mizo voiñe amy lia handena’ areoy le hazotso’areo an-kontoke mb’ antsikeokeok’ao o volo-fotikoo. (Sheol h7585)
Kodwa uJakhobe wathi, “Indodana yami kayiyikuhamba lani khonale; umnewabo sewafa, usenguye yedwa oseleyo. Nxa evelelwa ngokubi kuloluhambo lwenu lizakwenza ukuthi ikhanda lami eliyimpunga liye engcwabeni lidabukile.” (Sheol h7585)
