1 Yaaqoob biyya abbaan isaa ture, Kanaʼaan keessa jiraate.
UJakhobe wahlala elizweni lapho uyise laye ahlala kulo, ilizwe laseKhenani.
2 Seenaan maatii Yaaqoob kana. Yoosef yeroo dargaggeessa waggaa kudha torba turetti obboloota isaa, ilmaan niitota abbaa isaa jechuunis ilmaan Bilihaatii fi Zilfaa wajjin bushaayee tiksa ture; innis waaʼee obboloota isaa oduu hamaa abbaa isaatiif fide.
Lo ngumlando wosendo lukaJakhobe. UJosefa ijaha elalileminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa, wayeselusa imihlambi yezimvu labanewabo, amadodana kaBhiliha lamadodana kaZilipha, abafazi bakayise, wasebaceba kuyise.
3 Israaʼel waan bara dullumaa keessa isa dhalcheef ilmaan isaa hunda caalaa Yoosefin jaallata ture; innis qoloo faayeffame hojjeteef.
U-Israyeli wasuka wamthanda uJosefa ukwedlula wonke amanye amadodana akhe, ngoba wamzala eseluphele; yikho wamenzela ijazi eliceciswe kakhulu.
4 Obboloonni isaas yommuu akka abbaan isaanii isaan hunda caalaa isa jaallate hubatanitti Yoosefin jibban; afaan nagaas itti dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
Kwathi abafowabo bebona ukuthi uyise wayemthanda ukwedlula bonke abanye bamzonda kabazange bamkhulumise ngothando.
5 Yoosef abjuu abjootee obboloota isaatti hime; isaanis ittuma caalchisanii isa jibban.
UJosefa waphupha, wathi esebatshelile ngephupho lakhe bamzonda ngokwedlulisileyo.
6 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Mee abjuu ani arge kana dhagaʼaa:
Wathi kubo, “Zwanini iphupho engibe lalo:
7 Nu lafa qotiisaa keessatti bissii midhaanii hidhaa ture; kunoo, bissiin koo ol jedhee dhaabate; bissiiwwan keessan immoo bissii kootti naannaʼanii gad jedhanii sagadaniif.”
besibopha izithungo zamabele sisemasimini lapho okuthe masinyane esami isithungo saphakama sema saqonda, kwathi ezenu izithungo zasigombolozela esami, zasikhothamela phansi.”
8 Obboloonni isaas, “Ati nu irratti mootii taʼuu barbaaddaa? Dhugumaan situ nu bulchaa?” jedhaniin. Isaanis sababii abjuu isaatii fi sababii waan inni dubbateetiif ittuma caalchisanii isa jibban.
Abanewabo bathi kuye. “Ufisa ukubusa phezu kwethu na? Ungasibusa ngempela na?” Basebemzonda ngamandla ngenxa yephupho lakhe lalokho ayekutshilo.
9 Ergasiis abjuu biraa abjootee obboloota isaatti hime. Akkanas jedheen; “Kunoo, ani abjuu biraa abjoodheera; aduu fi jiʼi, urjiiwwan kudha tokkos gad jedhanii naa sagadu.”
Waphinda waba lelinye iphupho, walitshela abanewabo. Wathi, “Lalelani, ngibe lalo elinye iphupho, kuleli, ilanga lenyanga kanye lezinkanyezi ezilitshumi lanye bezingikhothamela phansi.”
10 Yommuu inni waan kana abbaa isaatii fi obboloota isaatti himetti abbaan isaa, “Abjuun ati abjootte kun maali? Ani, haati keetii fi obboloonni kee dhugumaan dhufnee fuula kee duratti gad jennee siif sagadnaa?” jedhee isatti dheekkame.
Wathi eselitshele uyise njalo labanewabo uyise wamkhalimela wathi, “Liphupho bani leli oliphuphileyo? Utsho ukuthi unyoko lami labanewenu sizaguqa phansi emhlabathini sibili siguqela wena?”
11 Obboloonni isaa isatti hinaafan; abbaan isaa garuu waan kana garaatti qabate.
Abanewabo babalomona ngaye, kodwa uyise wayigcina engqondweni yakhe indaba le.
12 Gaaf tokko obboloonni isaa bushaayee abbaa isaanii Sheekem bira dheechisuu dhaqan;
Abanewabo basuka bahamba lemihlambi kayise emadlelweni eduze kweShekhemu.
13 Israaʼelis Yoosefiin, “Akkuma ati beektu obboloonni kee Sheekem bira bushaayee dheechisaa jiru. Mee kottu ani gara isaaniitti si ergaa” jedhe. Yoosefis, “Kunoo asan jira” jedheen.
U-Israyeli wathi kuJosefa, “Njengoba usazi abanewenu basemadlelweni lemihlambi eduze kweShekhemu. Lalela-ke, ngifuna ukukuthuma kubo.” Waphendula wathi, “Kulungile.”
14 Israaʼel immoo, “Mee dhaqiitii akka obboloonni kee, bushaayeenis nagaa taʼanii fi akka hin taʼin ilaaliitii deebiʼii natti himi” jedheen. Innis akkasiin Sulula Kebrooniitii Sheekemitti isa erge. Yoosefis Sheekem gaʼe;
Ngakho wasesithi kuye, “Hamba uyebona ingabe abafowenu bayaphila yini kanye lemihlambi, ukuze ubuye uzongazisa.” Lakanye wamvalelisa esuka esigodini saseHebhroni. UJosefa esefikile eShekhemu,
15 namichi tokko isa arge; kunoo inni dirree irra jooraa ture; namichi sunis, “Ati maal barbaadda?” jedhee isa gaafate.
wafunyanwa yindoda ezula egangeni yambuza yathi, “Udingani?”
16 Yoosefis deebisee, “Ani obboloota koon barbaada. Ati iddoo isaan bushaayee isaanii dheechisan mee natti himi” jedheen.
Waphendula wathi, “Ngidinga abafowethu. Kambe ungangitshela ukuthi belusela ngaphi imihlambi yabo na?”
17 Namichis deebisee, “Isaan asii deemaniiru; ani ‘Gara Dootaan haa dhaqnu’ jechuu isaanii dhagaʼeera” jedhe. Yoosefis obboloota isaa duukaa buʼee Dotaayin biratti isaan argate.
Indoda yaphendula yathi, “Sebesukile lapha. Ngabezwa besithi, ‘Kasiyeni eDothani.’” Ngakho uJosefa wabalandela abafowabo wayabafumana eduze kweDothani.
18 Isaan garuu fagootti isa arganii isa ajjeesuuf utuu inni isaan bira hin gaʼin mariʼatan.
Kodwa bambona esesekude, wathi engakafiki kubo, bakhanda icebo lokumbulala.
19 Isaanis akkana waliin jedhan; “Kunoo abbaan abjuu sun dhufaa jira!
Batshelana bathi, “Nanguyana umphuphi lowana esiza.
20 Kottaa ajjeefnee boollawwan as jiran keessaa tokkotti isa gannee bineensa hamaatu isa nyaate jenna. Ergasii immoo abjuun isaa maal akka taʼu ilaalla.”
Zwanini, kasimbulaleni simphosele kwelinye lamagodi la besesisithi udliwe yisilo esesabekayo. Besesibona-ke ukuthi azaphelela ngaphi amaphupho akhe.”
21 Ruubeen waan kana dhageenyaan isaan harkaa isa baase. Innis akkana jedhe; “Lakkii isa hin ajjeefnu;
Kwathi uRubheni esekuzwile lokhu, wazama ukuthi amlamulele ezandleni zabo. Wathi, “Kasingacimi impilo yakhe.
22 dhiiga hin dhangalaasinaa. Gammoojjii keessatti boolla kana keessa isa buusaa malee harka keessaniin isa hin tuqinaa.” Ruubeen isaan harkaa isa baasee gara abbaa isaatti isa deebisuuf akkana jedhe.
Lingachithi gazi. Mphoseleni emgodini lo lapha enkangala, kodwa lingambeki isandla.” URubheni watsho lokhu ukuze amlamulele kubo abesembuyisela kuyise.
23 Yeroo Yoosef obboloota isaa bira gaʼetti isaan qoloo inni uffate, qoloo miidhagaa sana isa irraa baasanii,
Ngakho kwathi uJosefa efika kubafowabo, bamhlubula ijazi lakhe, elalibalazwe kakuhle ayeligqokile,
24 isa fuudhanii boollatti gad darbatan. Boolli sunis duwwaa ture; bishaanis hin qabu ture.
bamthatha bayamphosela emgodini. Umgodi lo wawungela lutho, kungelamanzi phakathi kwawo.
25 Obboloonni isaa buddeena nyaachuuf tataaʼan; ol jedhaniis kunoo, daldaltoota warra Ishmaaʼeel kanneen Giliʼaadii dhufaa jiran argan. Isaanis urgooftuu, haphee dibataatii fi qumbii gaalawwan isaaniitti feʼatanii Gibxitti geessaa turan.
Bathi sebehlezi phansi ukuthi badle, bathi baphosa amehlo babona udwendwe lwama-Ishumayeli luvelela eGiliyadi. Amakamela abo ayethwaliswe iziyoliso, ibhami lemure, konke lokhu bekusa eGibhithe.
26 Yihuudaanis obboloota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Obboleessa keenya ajjeefnee dhiiga isaa dhoksuun buʼaa maalii nuu qaba?
UJuda wathi kubafowabo, “Sizazuzani nxa sibulala umfowethu sigqibele igazi lakhe na?
27 Kottaa Ishmaaʼeelootatti isa gurgurra malee harka keenyaan isa hin tuqnuu; inni obboleessa keenyaa fi foon keenya.” Obboloonni isaas yaada kana fudhatan.
Zwanini, kasimthengiseni kuma-Ishumayeli thina singambeki sandla; kambe yena evele engumfowethu, eyinyama yethu legazi lethu.” Abafowabo bavuma.
28 Yommuu daldaltoonni Midiyaan achiin darbuuf dhufanittis obboloonni Yoosef boolla keessaa harkisanii ol isa baasanii meetii saqilii digdamaatti Ishmaaʼeelootatti isa gurguratan; jarris Gibxitti isa geessan.
Ngakho kwathi abathengisi bamaMidiyani besedlula abafowabo bamkhupha uJosefa emgodini bamthengisa ngamashekeli esiliva angamatshumi amabili kuma-Ishumayeli, amthatha aya laye eGibhithe.
29 Ruubeen gara boolla sanaatti deebiʼe; Yoosef boolla sana keessa hin turre; innis uffata ofii isaa tarsaase.
URubheni wathi esebuyela emgodini wafumana uJosefa engasekho, wasedabula izigqoko zakhe ngokudabuka.
30 Innis gara obboloota isaa dhaqee, “Gurbichi achi hin jiru! Egaa ani eessan dhaqa?” jedheen.
Wabuyela kubafowabo wathi, “Umfana kasekho! Sengizakwenzanjani manje?”
31 Isaanis qoloo Yoosef fuudhanii reʼee tokko qalanii qoloo sana dhiiga keessa cuuphan.
Basebethatha ijazi likaJosefa, babulala imbuzi basebegxamuza ijazi lelo egazini.
32 Qoloo miidhagaa sanas abbaa isaaniitti geessanii, “Nu qoloo kana arganneerra; mee qoloo ilma keetii taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaa ilaali” jedhan.
Balithatha ijazi lokuceciswa babuyela lalo kuyise bathi, “Silidobhile. Ake ulikhangele kuhle kumbe lijazi lendodana yakho.”
33 Innis qoloo sana beekee, “Kun qoloo ilma kootii ti! Bineensa hamaatu isa nyaate. Dhugumaan Yoosef ciccirameera” jedhe.
Lakanye walibona liyilo wathi, “Lijazi lendodana yami. Udliwe yisilo esesabekayo. Ngempela uJosefa usedlithizwe waba yizicucu.”
34 Kana irratti Yaaqoob uffata ofii isaa tarsaase; wayyaa gaddaa mudhiitti hidhatee guyyaa baayʼee ilma isaatiif gadde.
UJakhobe wasedabula izigqoko zakhe, wagqoka ezamasaka walilela indodana yakhe okwensuku ezinengi.
35 Ilmaan isaatii fi intallan isaa hundinuu isa jajjabeessuuf kaʼan; inni garuu jajjabaachuu didee, “Lakkii ani gaddaa gara ilma koo siiʼoolitti gad buʼa” jedhe. Akkasiin abbaan isaa ni booʼeef. (Sheol )
Wonke amadodana akhe lamadodakazi beza ukuzamduduza, kodwa kavumanga ukududuzeka. Wathi, “Hatshi, ngizakuya ethuneni ngilila nginje, ngiye endodaneni yami.” Uyise wamkhalela kanjalo. (Sheol )
36 Gidduu sana warri Midiyaan sun Gibxi keessatti Phoxiifaaraa namicha qondaaltota Faraʼoon keessaa tokko ture kan ajajaa waardiyyaa taʼe tokkotti Yoosefin gurguratan.
Kusenjalo, amaMidiyani amthengisa uJosefa eGibhithe kuPhothifa, omunye wezikhulu zikaFaro, owayengumlawuli wabalindi.
