Uumama 44

1 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.

And he commaunded the rueler of his house saynge: fyll the mens sackes with food as moch as they can carie

2 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.

and put euery mans money in his bagge mouth and put my syluer cuppe in the sackes mouth of the yongest and his corne money also. And he dyd as Ioseph had sayde.

3 Namoonni sun akkuma lafti bariiteen harroota isaanii wajjin geggeeffaman.

And in ye mornynge as soone as it was lighte the me were let goo with their asses.

4 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?

And when they were out of the cytie and not yet ferre awaye Ioseph sayde vnto the ruelar of his house: vp and folowe after the men and ouertake them and saye vnto them: wherefore haue ye rewarded euell for good?

5 Xoofoon kun xoofoo gooftaan koo ittiin dhuguu fi ittiin waa himu mitii? Isin waan kana gochuudhaan waan hamaa hojjettan.’”

is that not the cuppe of which my lorde drynketh ad doth he not prophesie therin? ye haue euell done that ye haue done.

6 Innis yommuu isaan qaqqabetti waanuma kana isaanitti dubbate.

And he ouertoke them and sayde the same wordes vnto them.

7 Jarris akkana isaan jedhan; “Gooftaan koo maaliif dubbii akkanaa dubbata? Waan akkanaa hojjechuun tajaajiltoota kee irraa haa fagaatu!

And they answered him: wherfore sayth my lorde soch wordes? God forbydd that thy servauntes shulde doo so.

8 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?

Beholde the money which we founde in oure sackes mouthes we brought agayne vnto the out of the lande of Canaa: how then shulde we steale out of my lordes house ether syluer or golde?

9 Tajaajiltoota kee keessaa namni wanni kun biratti argame kam iyyuu haa duʼu; nu warri hafne immoo garboota gooftaa koo ni taana.”

with whosoeuer of thy seruauntes it be founde let him dye and let vs also be my lordes bondmen.

10 Inni immoo jaraan, “Amma akkuma isin jettan haa taʼu; abbaan wanti kun biratti argame garbicha naaf taʼa; isin warri kaan immoo gad dhiifamtu” jedhe.

And he sayde: Now therfore acordynge vnto youre woordes he with whom it is found shalbe my seruaunte: but ye shalbe harmelesse.

11 Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dafanii qalqalloo isaanii lafa keeyyatanii hiikan.

And attonce euery man toke downe his sacke to the grounde ad every man opened his sacke.

12 Hangafni hojjettootaa sunis hangafaa jalqabee hamma quxisuutti sakattaʼe. Xoofoon sunis qalqalloo Beniyaam keessatti argame.

And he serched and began at the eldest and left at the yongest. And the cuppe was founde in Ben Iamins sacke.

13 Kana irratti isaan uffata isaanii tarsaasan. Hundi isaanii harroota isaanii feʼatanii magaalattiitti deebiʼan.

Then they rent their clothes and laded euery man his asse and went agayne vnto the cytie.

14 Yoosef yeroo Yihuudaa fi obboloonni isaa ol seenanitti amma iyyuu mana keessa ture; isaanis fuula isaa duratti kukkufan.

And Iuda and his brethre came to Iosephs house for he was yet there ad they fell before him on the grounde.

15 Yoosefis, “Wanti isin hojjettan kun maal? Akka namni akka kootii hooda himuudhaan waa arguu dandaʼu isin hin beektanii?” isaaniin jedheen.

And Ioseph sayde vnto the: what dede is this which ye haue done? wist ye not that soch a man as I can prophesie?

16 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.”

Then sayde Iuda: what shall we saye vnto my lorde what shall we speake or what excuse can we make? God hath founde out ye wekednesse of thy seruauntes. Beholde both we and he with whom the cuppe is founde are thy seruauntes.

17 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.

And he answered: God forbyd ye I shulde do so the man with whom the cuppe is founde he shalbe my seruaunte: but goo ye in peace vn to youre father.

18 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.

Then Iuda went vnto him and sayde: oh my lorde let thy servaunte speake a worde in my lordes audyence and be not wrooth with thi servaunte: for thou art euen as Pharao.

19 Gooftaan koo, ‘Isin abbaa yookaan obboleessa qabduu?’ jedhee garboota isaa gaafatee ture.

My lorde axed his seruaunte sainge: haue ye a father or a brother?

20 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.

And we answered my lord we haue a father that is old and a yonge lad which he begat in his age: ad the brother of the sayde lad is dead and he is all that is left of that mother. And his father loueth him.

21 “Atis garboota keetiin, ‘Akka ani ija kootiin isa arguuf naa fidaa’ jette.

Then sayde my lorde vnto his seruauntes brynge him vnto me that I maye sett myne eyes apon him.

22 Nus gooftaa kootiin, ‘Mucichi abbaa isaa dhiisee deemuu hin dandaʼu; yoo inni isa dhiisee biraa deeme abbaan isaa ni duʼa’ jenne.

And we answered my lorde that the lad coude not goo from his father for if he shulde leaue his father he were but a deed man.

23 Ati immoo garboota keetiin, ‘Yoo obboleessi keessan inni quxisuun isin wajjin dhufuu baate, isin lammata fuula koo hin argitan’ jette.

Than saydest thou vnto thy servauntes: excepte youre yongest brother come with you loke that ye se my face no moare.

24 Nus yeroo gara garbicha kee abbaa kootti deebinetti waan gooftaan koo jedhe isatti himne.

And when we came vnto thy servaunt oure father we shewed him what my lorde had sayde.

25 “Abbaan keenya, ‘Ammas dhaqaatii midhaan xinnoo dabalaa nuu bitaa’ nuun jedhe.

And when oure father sayde vnto vs goo agayne and bye vs a litle fode:

26 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.

we sayd yt we coude not goo. Neverthelesse if oure youngeste brother go with vs then will we goo for we maye not see the mannes face excepte oure yongest brother be with vs.

27 “Abbaan koo garbichi kee immoo akkana nuun jedhe; ‘Akka niitiin koo ilmaan lama naa deesse isin ni beektu.

Then sayde thy servaunt oure father vnto vs. Ye knowe that my wyfe bare me. ij. sonnes.

28 Isaan keessaas inni tokko na biraa baʼe; anis, “Inni dhugumaan ciccirameera” nan jedhe. Ani ergasii isa hin argine.

And the one went out from me and it is sayde of a suertie that he is torne in peaces of wyld beastes and I sawe him not sence.

29 Yoo isin isa kanas na duraa fuutanii balaan isa irra gaʼe, isin akka arriin koo gaddaan awwaala seenu gootu.’ (Sheol h7585)

Yf ye shall take this also awaye fro me and some mysfortune happen apon him then shall ye brynge my gray heed with sorow vnto the grave. (Sheol h7585)

30 “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,

Now therfore whe I come to thy servaunt my father yf the lad be not with me: seinge that his lyfe hageth by the laddes lyfe

31 akka mucichi nu wajjin hin jirre argee duʼa. Nu garboonni kees akka arriin abbaa keenya garbicha keetii gaddaan awwaala seenu goona. (Sheol h7585)

then as soone as he seeth that the lad is not come he will dye. So shall we thy servautes brynge the gray hedde of thy servaunt oure father with sorow vnto the grave. (Sheol h7585)

32 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.

For I thy servaunt became suertie for the lad vnto my father and sayde: yf I bringe him not vnto the agayne. I will bere the blame all my life loge.

33 “Egaa amma ani garbichi kee iddoo mucichaa garbicha gooftaa koo taʼee asitti nan hafa; mucichi immoo obboloota isaa wajjin haa deebiʼu.

Now therfore let me thy servaunt byde here for ye lad and be my lordes bondman: and let the lad goo home with his brethern.

34 Yoo mucichi na wajjin hin jiraatin ani akkamittin gara abbaa kootii deebiʼuu dandaʼa? Waawuu; akka ani gadda abbaa kootti dhufu argu na hin godhin.”

For how can I goo vnto my father and the lad not wyth me: lest I shulde see the wretchednes that shall come on my father.
