< 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 could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing 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 and all the house of Pharao heard.
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 brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding 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 mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, 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.
Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.
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, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.
7 Waaqni lafa irratti sanyii isiniif hambisuu fi furii guddaadhaan lubbuu keessan oolchuuf jedhee isin dura na erge.
And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food 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.
Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in 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.
Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.
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 thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast.
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 feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining), lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.
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 see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
13 Ulfina Gibxi keessatti naa kenname hundaa fi waan argitan hunda abbaa kootti himaa. Abbaa koos dafaatii as fidaa.”
You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.
14 Ergasiis morma obboleessa isaa Beniyaamitti marmee booʼe; Beniyaamis booʼaa isa hammate.
And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.
15 Yoosefis obboloota isaa hunda dhungatee itti booʼe. Ergasii obboloonni isaa isa wajjin haasaʼan.
And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which 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 heard, and the fame was abroad in the king’s court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.
17 Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Obboloota keetiin akkana jedhi; ‘Waan kana godhaa: Horii keessan feʼadhaa biyya Kanaʼaaniitti deebiʼaatii
And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.
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 bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat 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.
Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:
20 Waaʼee qabeenya keessanii hin yaaddaʼinaa; wanni biyya Gibxi guutuu keessaa waan hunda caalu kan keessan taʼaatii.’”
And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall 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 as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao’s commandment: and provisions for the way.
22 Tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif wayyaa kenne; Beniyaamiif garuu meetii saqilii dhibba sadiitii fi wayyaa irraa jalaa shan kenne.
He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:
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.
Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
24 Innis akkasitti obboloota isaa erge; innis yeroo isaan qajeelanitti, “Karaatti wal hin lolinaa!” jedheen.
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
25 Isaanis Gibxi keessaa ol baʼanii gara biyya Kanaʼaan abbaa isaanii Yaaqoob bira dhaqan.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan 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 told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet 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.
They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw 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 Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.
