Uumama 45
1 Kana irratti Yoosef namoota hunda duratti of qabuu dadhabee, “Namoota hunda fuula koo duraa gad yaasaa!” jedhee iyye. Kanaaf yommuu Yoosef obboloota isaatti of beeksisetti namni tokko iyyuu isa bira hin turre.
Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
2 Sababii inni guddisee booʼeef warri Gibxi ni dhagaʼan; warra masaraa Faraʼoon birattis ni dhagaʼame.
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
3 Yoosefis obboloota isaatiin, “Ani Yoosef; abbaan koo amma iyyuu jiraa?” jedhee gaafate. Obboloonni isaa garuu sababii fuula isaa duratti naʼanii turaniif deebii isaaf kennuu hin dandeenye.
And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
4 Yoosefis obboloota isaatiin, “Mee as natti dhiʼaadhaa” jedhe. Isaan isatti dhiʼaannaan inni akkana jedhe; “Ani Yoosef obboleessa keessan isa isin Gibxitti gurgurtan sanaa dha!
And he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 Ammas sababii asitti na gurgurtaniif hin gaabbinaa; ofittis hin aarinaa. Waaqni lubbuu baraaruuf jedhee isin dura na ergeeraatii.
Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
6 Waggoota lamaan kana beelatu biyyattii keessa ture; waggoota shanan dhufan keessas lafa qotachuu fi midhaan galfachuun hin jiru.
For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.
7 Waaqni lafa irratti sanyii isiniif hambisuu fi furii guddaadhaan lubbuu keessan oolchuuf jedhee isin dura na erge.
And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
8 “Waaqatu as na erge malee isin miti. Inni Faraʼooniif abbaa na godhe; warra mana isaa jiran hunda irratti gooftaa, biyya Gibxi hunda irratti immoo bulchaa na godhe.
I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 Ammas dafaa gara abbaa kootti deebiʼaatii akkana isaan jedhaa; ‘Ilmi kee Yoosef akkana jedha: Waaqni Gibxi hunda irratti gooftaa na godheera. Gara kootti gad buʼi; hin turinis.
Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
10 Ati biyya Gooshen keessa ni jiraatta; ati, ijoolleen keetii fi ijoolleen ijoollee keetii, bushaayeen kee, loon keetii fi wanni ati qabdu hundi natti dhiʼaattanii jiraatu.
and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
11 Sababii amma iyyuu waggaan beelaa shan dhufaa jiruuf ani achitti sin soora; yoo kanaa achii atii fi warri mana kee jiraatan, wanni ati qabdu hundinuus ni rakkattu.’
And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
12 “Akka namni isinitti dubbachaa jiru kun anuma taʼe kunoo, iji keessan, iji obboleessa koo Beniyaamis ni arga.
Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
13 Ulfina Gibxi keessatti naa kenname hundaa fi waan argitan hunda abbaa kootti himaa. Abbaa koos dafaatii as fidaa.”
You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
14 Ergasiis morma obboleessa isaa Beniyaamitti marmee booʼe; Beniyaamis booʼaa isa hammate.
And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
15 Yoosefis obboloota isaa hunda dhungatee itti booʼe. Ergasii obboloonni isaa isa wajjin haasaʼan.
And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
16 Yommuu akka obboloonni Yoosef dhufan masaraa Faraʼoonitti dhagaʼametti, Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltonni isaa ni gammadan.
And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
17 Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Obboloota keetiin akkana jedhi; ‘Waan kana godhaa: Horii keessan feʼadhaa biyya Kanaʼaaniitti deebiʼaatii
And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
18 abbaan keessanii fi maatiiwwan keessan natti fidaa. Ani lafa biyya Gibxi keessaa lafa hunda caalu isiniif nan kenna. Isin cooma biyyattii ni nyaattu.’
and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.’”
19 “Akkasumas akkana jedhii isaanitti himi; ‘Waan kana godhaa: Ijoollee keessaniifis, niitota keessaniifis biyya Gibxiitii gaariiwwan fudhadhaa; abbaa keessanis fidaatii kottaa.
“And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
20 Waaʼee qabeenya keessanii hin yaaddaʼinaa; wanni biyya Gibxi guutuu keessaa waan hunda caalu kan keessan taʼaatii.’”
You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’”
21 Ilmaan Israaʼelis akkasuma godhan. Yoosefis akkuma Faraʼoon isa ajajetti gaariiwwan kenneefii karaa isaaniitiif illee galaa galaaseef.
And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the journey.
22 Tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif wayyaa kenne; Beniyaamiif garuu meetii saqilii dhibba sadiitii fi wayyaa irraa jalaa shan kenne.
Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
23 Abbaa isaatiif immoo harroota, wanni biyya Gibxi gaggaariin itti feʼame kudhan, akkasumas harroota dhaltuu midhaan, buddeenaa fi galaan biraa karaa isaatiif itti feʼame kudhan erge.
And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
24 Innis akkasitti obboloota isaa erge; innis yeroo isaan qajeelanitti, “Karaatti wal hin lolinaa!” jedheen.
Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
25 Isaanis Gibxi keessaa ol baʼanii gara biyya Kanaʼaan abbaa isaanii Yaaqoob bira dhaqan.
And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
26 Isaanis, “Yoosef amma iyyuu jira! Biyya Gibxi guutuu iyyuu isumatu bulcha” jedhaniin. Yaaqoob immoo naasuudhaan of wallaale; jara amanuus hin dandeenya.
And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.
27 Garuu yeroo jarri waan Yoosef isaaniin jedhe hunda isatti himanii innis gaariiwwan Yoosef isa fichisiisuuf ergeef sana argetti lubbuun abbaa isaanii Yaaqoob ni bayyanatte.
To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,
28 Israaʼelis, “Na gaʼa! Ilmi koo Yoosef amma iyyuu jira. Anis utuun hin duʼin dhaqee isa nan arga” jedhe.
and he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
