UGenesisi 44
1 Waselaya umphathi wendlu yakhe esithi: Gcwalisa amasaka amadoda ngokudla, okulingene abangakuthwala, ufake imali yalowo lalowo emlonyeni wesaka lakhe.
Ara raa basa ma, Yusuf naꞌauꞌutuꞌ malangga mana tao ues na nae, “We! Muu ombo are neu atahori ia ra karon nara losa sofe se. Ma tao baliꞌ doi nara nisiꞌ esa-esaꞌ karon na rala.
2 Lenkezo yami, inkezo yesiliva, ifake emlonyeni wesaka lecinathunjana kanye lemali yamabele alo. Wenza-ke njengelizwi likaJosefa, ayelikhulumile.
Boe ma haꞌi mala au mok lilo fula ngga, fo tao nisiꞌ ana muriꞌ a karon na.” De ana neu tao tungga Yusuf parenda na.
3 Ekuseni sekusile, amadoda avunyelwa ukuhamba, wona labobabhemi bawo.
Mbila fefetu ana na, Yusuf mboꞌi se lao baliꞌ rendi nanaat no keledei nara.
4 Wona aphuma emzini, ayengakhatshana, uJosefa wasesithi kumphathi wendlu yakhe: Sukuma xotshana lamadoda; lapho usuwaficile uzakuthi kuwo: Liphindiseleleni okuhle ngokubi?
Ara nda feꞌe raꞌadooꞌ kamboꞌ sa ma, Yusuf nafadꞌe malangga mana tao ues na nae, “Muu tungga atahori naa ra lai-lai. Mete ma hambu se, naa, mufadꞌe maꞌo ia: ‘Taꞌo bee de rala mara deꞌulakaꞌ mbali toulasiꞌ a? Losa hei balas malole na mo deꞌulakaꞌ taꞌo ia.
5 Le kayisiyo enatha kuyo inkosi yami, lehlahlula ngayo sibili yini? Lenze okubi ngelikwenzileyo.
Taꞌo bee de loi mendi malangga mok lilo fula na? Hei nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa, do? Naa nda akaꞌ a mok nininuꞌ sa. Ana o sangga atahori uanale nara nendiꞌ mok naa. Naa mok mahineꞌ! Hei tatao mara ia, deꞌulaka na seli ma!’”
6 Wasewafica, wakhuluma kuwo la amazwi.
Basa de, malangga mana tao ues neu tungga de hambu se. Ana nafadꞌe se, tungga Yusuf oꞌola na.
7 Asesithi kuye: Inkosi yami ikhulumelani amazwi anje? Kakube khatshana lezinceku zakho ukwenza into enje.
Ara rataa rae, “Amaꞌ masud na taꞌo bee ia? Hai sumba. Hai nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ taꞌo naa sa.
8 Khangela, imali esayifica emlonyeni wamasaka ethu sayibuyisela kuwe ivela elizweni leKhanani. Pho, besingeba njani isiliva loba igolide endlini yenkosi yakho?
Amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ, to? Doi-doiꞌ mana mia karon rala faiꞌ naa, hai fee baliꞌ neu amaꞌ, to? De taꞌo bee de hai loi malangga lilo fula na mia umen fai. Hokoꞌ o!
9 Lowo owezinceku zakho etholwa kuye, kafe, lathi futhi sizakuba yizigqili zenkosi yami.
Amaꞌ paresaꞌ neuꞌ ena. Hambu sia seka karon na, naa hukun misa e leo. Ma hai ruma dadꞌi ate ma.”
10 Wasesithi: Khathesi-ke, kakube njalo njengamazwi enu; lowo ezatholwa kuye uzakuba yisigqili sami, kodwa lina libe msulwa.
Malangga mana tao ues a nae, “Hokoꞌ! Taꞌo ia. Mete ma hambu mok sia seka, naa, ana dadꞌi au ate ngga. Ruma baliꞌ.”
11 Basebephangisa, njalo ngulowo lalowo wethulela isaka lakhe emhlabathini, ngulowo lalowo wasevula isaka lakhe.
Boe ma ara raꞌondaꞌ karon naa ra lai-lai, de sefi se.
12 Waphenya eqala kwenkulu wacina ngecinathunjana; njalo inkezo yatholwa esakeni likaBhenjamini.
Malangga mana tao ues a paresaꞌ lutu-leloꞌ karon naa ra esa-esaꞌ, mia aꞌa ka karon na, losa odꞌiꞌ a ena na. De ana hambu mok lilo fulaꞌ mia Benyamin karon na.
13 Asedabula izembatho zawo; ileyo laleyo yethwesa ubabhemi wayo, asebuyela emzini.
Boe ma Benyamin aꞌa nara rala nara rambalulutu. De ara fua baliꞌ karon naa ra keledei ata reu, ma baliꞌ kambo reu.
14 Njalo uJuda wafika labafowabo endlini kaJosefa; ngoba wayesesekhona, bawela emhlabathini phambi kwakhe.
Losa Yusuf ume na boe, ana feꞌe sia naa. De ara sendeꞌ lululangga nara neu mata na.
15 UJosefa wasesithi kubo: Yisenzo bani elisenzileyo? Belingazi yini ukuthi indoda enjengami ingahlahlula sibili?
Yusuf bua se nae, “He! Taꞌo bee de hei tao onaꞌ ia neu au. Hei nda mihine mae atahori monaen onaꞌ au ia, sangga atahori rahasia na endiꞌ mahineꞌ naa sa, do?”
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.
Yahuda nataa nae, “Awi! Lamatualain natudꞌu hai sala mara ena. Hai mae saa fai, amaꞌ? Hai mae misilaꞌe ao ma, onaꞌ bee fai. Mete ma amaꞌ nae hela hai odꞌi muri ma ia, naa, malole lenaꞌ amaꞌ hela basa hai. Haꞌi mala basa hai dadꞌi ate ma.”
17 Kodwa wathi: Kakube khatshana lami ukwenza lokho. Indoda esandleni sayo okutholwe inkezo, nguye ozakuba yisigqili sami; kodwa lina yenyukani ngokuthula liye kuyihlo.
Yusuf nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Hambu mok a sia seka e, na eni mana dadꞌi au ate ngga. Hei ruma, nenemboꞌit. Baliꞌ misiꞌ ama ma leo!”
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.
Yahuda neu deka-deka no Yusuf, de olaꞌ nae, “Ama fetor! Au bubꞌuluꞌ amaꞌ koasa na onaꞌ maneꞌ a boe. Huu naa, de afiꞌ mumunasa au dei. Au oꞌe ola-olaꞌ mbei o amaꞌ.
19 Inkosi yami yabuza inceku zayo isithi: Liloyihlo kumbe umfowenu yini?
Maꞌahulu na amaꞌ natane hai mae, ‘Hai ama ma no odꞌi ma esa feꞌe sia, do?’
20 Sasesisithi enkosini yami: Silobaba olixhegu, lomfana wobuxhegu, omncinyane, lomnewabo ufile, njalo yena usele yedwa kunina, loyise uyamthanda.
Hai mitaa mae, ‘Hai ama ma lasiꞌ ena. Boe ma odꞌi muri ma, esa. Leleꞌ bꞌonggi e, hai ama ma lasiꞌ ena. Aꞌa bꞌonggi na esaꞌ a, te ana nese ena. Ruꞌa se ina na mate ena. De ia naa, helaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne. Naa de, hai ama ma sue nala e seli.’
21 Wasusithi ezincekwini zakho: Mehliseleni kimi ukuze ngibeke ilihlo lami phezu kwakhe.
Basa de, amaꞌ denu hai mo e, fo mita e.
22 Sasesisithi enkosini yami: Umfana angetshiye uyise; uba emtshiya uyise, uzakufa uyise.
Te hai mitaa mae, anaꞌ naa nda lao hela ama na sa. Mete ma ana lao hela e, naa, hai ama ma mate, neuꞌ ena.
23 Wasusithi ezincekwini zakho: Uba umnawenu olicinathunjana engehli lani, kaliyikubona ubuso bami futhi.
Boe ma amaꞌ nataa nae, ‘Mete ma hei nda mendi odꞌi ma sa, naa, hei nda bisa mita mata ngga sa ena.’
24 Kwasekusithi sesenyukele kunceku yakho ubaba, samazisa amazwi enkosi yami.
Basa de hai baliꞌ. Mifadꞌe basa amaꞌ oꞌola na neu hai ama ma.
25 Ubaba wasesithi: Buyelani, lisithengele ukudla okulutshwana.
Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, hai nanaa mara basa boe. De hai ama ma denu ima hasa seluꞌ nanaat fai.
26 Sasesisithi: Singeke sehle; uba umnawethu olicinathunjana elathi singehla, ngoba singebone ubuso baleyondoda uba umnawethu olicinathunjana singelaye.
Hai mitaa seluꞌ mae, ‘Amaꞌ e! Hai nda mi sia naa sa. Te fetor a, nafadꞌe ena, mete ma hai nda mo odꞌi muriꞌ a sa, naa, hai sudꞌi mindaa mo e. Dadꞌi hai odꞌi muri ma musi tungga, dei fo hai feꞌe lao naa.’
27 Inceku yakho ubaba yasisithi kithi: Lina liyazi ukuthi umkami wangizalela amadodana amabili;
Hai ama ma olaꞌ fai nae, ‘Hei bubꞌuluꞌ, to? Au sao ngga Rahel, ana na akaꞌ ruaꞌ a.
28 njalo omunye waphuma kimi, ngasengisithi: Isibili udatshuliwe lokudatshulwa; njalo kangimbonanga kuze kube khathesi.
Ana uluꞌ a nese ena. Banda fui ra raa hendi ena. Naa de, losa faiꞌ ia au nda undaa o e sa.
29 Uba lithatha lalo limsusa ebusweni bami, esehlelwe yingozi, lizakwehlisela-ke izimvu zami engcwabeni ngosizi. (Sheol h7585)
Mete ma hei haꞌi mala ana muriꞌ ia mia au fai, boe ma ana taꞌo esa naa, hei boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ au lasiꞌ ia, de au mate neuꞌ ena.’ (Sheol h7585)
30 Khathesi-ke, lapho ngibuyela kunceku yakho ubaba, lomfana singelaye, njengoba umphefumulo wakhe ubotshelwe emphefumulweni wakhe,
31 kuzakuthi-ke, nxa ebona ukuthi umfana kakho, uzakufa; njalo inceku zakho zizakwehlisela izimvu zenceku yakho ubaba engcwabeni ngosizi. (Sheol h7585)
De onaꞌ naa, ama fetor. Mete ma au baliꞌ isiꞌ ama ngga, nda o baliꞌ odꞌi muriꞌ ia sa, naa, hai ama ma mate neuꞌ ena, huu rala na esa no anaꞌ naa. Ana namalasi seli ena, naa de mete ma hai boe tao miꞌisususaꞌ e, naa, ana mate neuꞌ ena. (Sheol h7585)
32 Ngoba inceku yakho yaba yisibambiso somfana kubaba esithi: Uba ngingambuyiseli kuwe, ngizakuba lecala kubaba zonke izinsuku.
Boe ma au o helu ama ngga, au mana o baliꞌ anaꞌ naa. Au helu ae, mete ma nda o baliꞌ anaꞌ ia sa, naa au tanggon salaꞌ losa mate.
33 Khathesi-ke, ake inceku yakho isale esikhundleni somfana, ibe yisigqili senkosi yami, lomfana enyuke kanye labafowabo.
Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia, amaꞌ: Au leo uhatiꞌ a ia nggati e, fo dadꞌi amaꞌ ate na. Hela e baliꞌ no aꞌa nara.
34 Ngoba ngingenyukela njani kubaba, umfana ngingelaye, hlezi ngibone okubi okuzafica ubaba?
Mete ma anaꞌ naa nda tungga sa, naa, au o nda baliꞌ saa boe. Au nda nau ita ama ngga doidꞌoso losa mate sa.”
