UGenesisi 44
1 Waselaya umphathi wendlu yakhe esithi: Gcwalisa amasaka amadoda ngokudla, okulingene abangakuthwala, ufake imali yalowo lalowo emlonyeni wesaka lakhe.
Yoosefis akkana jedhee hangafa hojjettoota mana isaa ajaje; “Qalqalloo jara kanaa hamma baachuu dandaʼutti midhaan itti guuti; meetii tokkoo tokkoo isaaniis afaan qalqalloo isaanii keessa kaaʼi.
2 Lenkezo yami, inkezo yesiliva, ifake emlonyeni wesaka lecinathunjana kanye lemali yamabele alo. Wenza-ke njengelizwi likaJosefa, ayelikhulumile.
Xoofoo koo isa meetii irraa hojjetame immoo meetii inni ittiin midhaan bitachuu dhufe wajjin afaan qalqalloo isa quxisuu sanaa keessa kaaʼi.” Namichis akkuma Yoosef isa ajaje godhe.
3 Ekuseni sekusile, amadoda avunyelwa ukuhamba, wona labobabhemi bawo.
Namoonni sun akkuma lafti bariiteen harroota isaanii wajjin geggeeffaman.
4 Wona aphuma emzini, ayengakhatshana, uJosefa wasesithi kumphathi wendlu yakhe: Sukuma xotshana lamadoda; lapho usuwaficile uzakuthi kuwo: Liphindiseleleni okuhle ngokubi?
Utuma isaan magaalaa sana irraa hin fagaatin Yoosef hangafa hojjettoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Dafii jara kana duukaa buʼi; yommuu qaqqabdutti immoo akkana jedhiin; ‘Isin maaliif waan gaarii waan hamaadhaan deebiftu?
5 Le kayisiyo enatha kuyo inkosi yami, lehlahlula ngayo sibili yini? Lenze okubi ngelikwenzileyo.
Xoofoon kun xoofoo gooftaan koo ittiin dhuguu fi ittiin waa himu mitii? Isin waan kana gochuudhaan waan hamaa hojjettan.’”
6 Wasewafica, wakhuluma kuwo la amazwi.
Innis yommuu isaan qaqqabetti waanuma kana isaanitti dubbate.
7 Asesithi kuye: Inkosi yami ikhulumelani amazwi anje? Kakube khatshana lezinceku zakho ukwenza into enje.
Jarris akkana isaan jedhan; “Gooftaan koo maaliif dubbii akkanaa dubbata? Waan akkanaa hojjechuun tajaajiltoota kee irraa haa fagaatu!
8 Khangela, imali esayifica emlonyeni wamasaka ethu sayibuyisela kuwe ivela elizweni leKhanani. Pho, besingeba njani isiliva loba igolide endlini yenkosi yakho?
Kunoo nu meetii afaan qalqalloo keenyaa keessatti arganne iyyuu biyya Kanaʼaaniitii deebifnee siif fidne. Yoos nu maaliif mana gooftaa keetiitii meetii yookaan warqee hanna ree?
9 Lowo owezinceku zakho etholwa kuye, kafe, lathi futhi sizakuba yizigqili zenkosi yami.
Tajaajiltoota kee keessaa namni wanni kun biratti argame kam iyyuu haa duʼu; nu warri hafne immoo garboota gooftaa koo ni taana.”
10 Wasesithi: Khathesi-ke, kakube njalo njengamazwi enu; lowo ezatholwa kuye uzakuba yisigqili sami, kodwa lina libe msulwa.
Inni immoo jaraan, “Amma akkuma isin jettan haa taʼu; abbaan wanti kun biratti argame garbicha naaf taʼa; isin warri kaan immoo gad dhiifamtu” jedhe.
11 Basebephangisa, njalo ngulowo lalowo wethulela isaka lakhe emhlabathini, ngulowo lalowo wasevula isaka lakhe.
Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dafanii qalqalloo isaanii lafa keeyyatanii hiikan.
12 Waphenya eqala kwenkulu wacina ngecinathunjana; njalo inkezo yatholwa esakeni likaBhenjamini.
Hangafni hojjettootaa sunis hangafaa jalqabee hamma quxisuutti sakattaʼe. Xoofoon sunis qalqalloo Beniyaam keessatti argame.
13 Asedabula izembatho zawo; ileyo laleyo yethwesa ubabhemi wayo, asebuyela emzini.
Kana irratti isaan uffata isaanii tarsaasan. Hundi isaanii harroota isaanii feʼatanii magaalattiitti deebiʼan.
14 Njalo uJuda wafika labafowabo endlini kaJosefa; ngoba wayesesekhona, bawela emhlabathini phambi kwakhe.
Yoosef yeroo Yihuudaa fi obboloonni isaa ol seenanitti amma iyyuu mana keessa ture; isaanis fuula isaa duratti kukkufan.
15 UJosefa wasesithi kubo: Yisenzo bani elisenzileyo? Belingazi yini ukuthi indoda enjengami ingahlahlula sibili?
Yoosefis, “Wanti isin hojjettan kun maal? Akka namni akka kootii hooda himuudhaan waa arguu dandaʼu isin hin beektanii?” isaaniin jedheen.
16 UJuda wasesithi: Sizakuthini enkosini yami? Sizakhulumani? Loba sizazilungisisa njani? UNkulunkulu uthole ububi benceku zakho; khangela, siyizigqili zenkosi yami, thina sonke kanye laye inkezo etholwe esandleni sakhe.
Yihuudaan immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Nu gooftaa kootiin maal jechuu dandeenya? Nu maal dubbachuu dandeenya? Nu qulqulluu taʼuu keenya akkamiin mirkaneessuu dandeenya? Waaqni balleessaa garboota keetii ifatti baaseera. Kunoo nu garboota gooftaa koo ti; nu hundi keenya, namni xoofoon sun biratti argames garboota kee ti.”
17 Kodwa wathi: Kakube khatshana lami ukwenza lokho. Indoda esandleni sayo okutholwe inkezo, nguye ozakuba yisigqili sami; kodwa lina yenyukani ngokuthula liye kuyihlo.
Yoosef garuu, “Waan akkanaa hojjechuun narraa haa fagaatu! Nama xoofoon biratti argame qofatu garbicha koo taʼa. Warri haftan garuu nagaadhaan gara abbaa keessaniitti deebiʼaa” jedhe.
18 UJuda wasesondela kuye wathi: Uxolo nkosi yami! Ake uvumele inceku yakho ikhulume ilizwi endlebeni zenkosi yami, lolaka lwakho lungayivutheli inceku yakho, ngoba unjengoFaro kanye.
Yihuudaan immoo Yoosefitti dhiʼaatee akkana jedhe: “Maaloo gooftaa ko, akka garbichi kee waan tokko gooftaa kootti dubbatu eeyyamiif. Ati akkuma Faraʼoon taatus garbicha keetti hin aarin.
19 Inkosi yami yabuza inceku zayo isithi: Liloyihlo kumbe umfowenu yini?
Gooftaan koo, ‘Isin abbaa yookaan obboleessa qabduu?’ jedhee garboota isaa gaafatee ture.
20 Sasesisithi enkosini yami: Silobaba olixhegu, lomfana wobuxhegu, omncinyane, lomnewabo ufile, njalo yena usele yedwa kunina, loyise uyamthanda.
Nus, ‘Abbaa dulloomaa tokko qabna; ilmi quxisuun bara dulluma isaa keessa isaaf dhalate tokkos jira. Obboleessi isaas duʼeera; ijoollee haati isaa deesse keessaa isa qofatu hafe; abbaan isaa isa jaallata’ jennee turre.
21 Wasusithi ezincekwini zakho: Mehliseleni kimi ukuze ngibeke ilihlo lami phezu kwakhe.
“Atis garboota keetiin, ‘Akka ani ija kootiin isa arguuf naa fidaa’ jette.
22 Sasesisithi enkosini yami: Umfana angetshiye uyise; uba emtshiya uyise, uzakufa uyise.
Nus gooftaa kootiin, ‘Mucichi abbaa isaa dhiisee deemuu hin dandaʼu; yoo inni isa dhiisee biraa deeme abbaan isaa ni duʼa’ jenne.
23 Wasusithi ezincekwini zakho: Uba umnawenu olicinathunjana engehli lani, kaliyikubona ubuso bami futhi.
Ati immoo garboota keetiin, ‘Yoo obboleessi keessan inni quxisuun isin wajjin dhufuu baate, isin lammata fuula koo hin argitan’ jette.
24 Kwasekusithi sesenyukele kunceku yakho ubaba, samazisa amazwi enkosi yami.
Nus yeroo gara garbicha kee abbaa kootti deebinetti waan gooftaan koo jedhe isatti himne.
25 Ubaba wasesithi: Buyelani, lisithengele ukudla okulutshwana.
“Abbaan keenya, ‘Ammas dhaqaatii midhaan xinnoo dabalaa nuu bitaa’ nuun jedhe.
26 Sasesisithi: Singeke sehle; uba umnawethu olicinathunjana elathi singehla, ngoba singebone ubuso baleyondoda uba umnawethu olicinathunjana singelaye.
Nu garuu, ‘Nu dhaquu hin dandeenyu; yoo obboleessi keenya inni quxisuun nu wajjin jiraate qofa dhaqna. Yoo obboleessi keenya inni quxisuun nu wajjin dhaquu baate nu fuula namichaa arguu hin dandeenyu’ jenne.
27 Inceku yakho ubaba yasisithi kithi: Lina liyazi ukuthi umkami wangizalela amadodana amabili;
“Abbaan koo garbichi kee immoo akkana nuun jedhe; ‘Akka niitiin koo ilmaan lama naa deesse isin ni beektu.
28 njalo omunye waphuma kimi, ngasengisithi: Isibili udatshuliwe lokudatshulwa; njalo kangimbonanga kuze kube khathesi.
Isaan keessaas inni tokko na biraa baʼe; anis, “Inni dhugumaan ciccirameera” nan jedhe. Ani ergasii isa hin argine.
29 Uba lithatha lalo limsusa ebusweni bami, esehlelwe yingozi, lizakwehlisela-ke izimvu zami engcwabeni ngosizi. (Sheol h7585)
Yoo isin isa kanas na duraa fuutanii balaan isa irra gaʼe, isin akka arriin koo gaddaan awwaala seenu gootu.’ (Sheol h7585)
30 Khathesi-ke, lapho ngibuyela kunceku yakho ubaba, lomfana singelaye, njengoba umphefumulo wakhe ubotshelwe emphefumulweni wakhe,
“Kanaafuu amma yeroo ani gara garbicha kee abbaa kootti deebiʼutti, yoo mucichi nu wajjin jiraachuu baate abbaan koo kan jireenyi isaa jireenya mucichaatiin walitti hidhame sun,
31 kuzakuthi-ke, nxa ebona ukuthi umfana kakho, uzakufa; njalo inceku zakho zizakwehlisela izimvu zenceku yakho ubaba engcwabeni ngosizi. (Sheol h7585)
akka mucichi nu wajjin hin jirre argee duʼa. Nu garboonni kees akka arriin abbaa keenya garbicha keetii gaddaan awwaala seenu goona. (Sheol h7585)
32 Ngoba inceku yakho yaba yisibambiso somfana kubaba esithi: Uba ngingambuyiseli kuwe, ngizakuba lecala kubaba zonke izinsuku.
Ani garbichi kee akka mucaan kun nagaadhaan deebiʼu abbaa koo duratti wabii taʼee, ‘Yaa abbaa ko, yoo ani deebisee isa siif fiduu baadhe, ani bara jireenya koo guutuu fuula abbaa koo duratti balleessaa kanatti nan gaafatama!’ jedhe.
33 Khathesi-ke, ake inceku yakho isale esikhundleni somfana, ibe yisigqili senkosi yami, lomfana enyuke kanye labafowabo.
“Egaa amma ani garbichi kee iddoo mucichaa garbicha gooftaa koo taʼee asitti nan hafa; mucichi immoo obboloota isaa wajjin haa deebiʼu.
34 Ngoba ngingenyukela njani kubaba, umfana ngingelaye, hlezi ngibone okubi okuzafica ubaba?
Yoo mucichi na wajjin hin jiraatin ani akkamittin gara abbaa kootii deebiʼuu dandaʼa? Waawuu; akka ani gadda abbaa kootti dhufu argu na hin godhin.”
