Uumama 47
1 Yoosefis gara Faraʼoon dhaqee, “Abbaan kootii fi obboloonni koo bushaayee isaanii, loon isaaniitii fi waan qaban hunda fudhatanii biyya Kanaʼaan dhufanii kunoo biyya Gooshen jiru” jedhee itti hime.
UJosefa wasesiza wambikela uFaro wathi: Ubaba labafowethu lezimvu zabo lenkomo zabo lakho konke abalakho bavele elizweni leKhanani, khangela-ke, baselizweni leGosheni.
2 Innis obboloota isaa keessaa nama shan filatee Faraʼoonitti dhiʼeesse.
Wasethatha ingxenye yabafowabo, amadoda amahlanu, wawamisa phambi kukaFaro.
3 Faraʼoonis, “Hojiin keessan maali?” jedhee obboloota Yoosef gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu garboonni kee akkuma abbootii keenyaa tiksoota” jedhanii deebisaniif.
UFaro wasesithi kubafowabo: Iyini imisebenzi yenu? Basebesithi kuFaro: Izinceku zakho zingabelusi bezimvu, thina sonke labobaba.
4 Akkanas jedhaniin; “Sababii beelli biyya Kanaʼaanitti cimee bushaayeen garboota keetii waan dheedan dhabaniif nu yeroo gabaabaa as jiraachuu dhufne. Akka nu garboonni kee biyya Gooshen keessa jiraannuuf maaloo nuu eeyyami.”
Bathi futhi kuFaro: Sizehlala njengabezizwe elizweni; ngoba kakuladlelo lemihlambi inceku zakho ezilayo, ngoba indlala inzima elizweni leKhanani. Khathesi-ke, inceku zakho ake zihlale elizweni leGosheni.
5 Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Abbaan keetii fi obboloonni kee siif dhufaniiru;
UFaro wasekhuluma kuJosefa esithi: Uyihlo labafowenu sebeze kuwe.
6 lafti Gibxi fuuluma kee dura jira; abbaa keetii fi obboloota kee iddoo lafa hundumaa caalu irra qubachiisi. Isaan biyya Gooshen keessa haa jiraatan. Ati yoo namoota isaan keessaa dandeettii qaban beekte loon koo irratti itti gaafatamtoota isaan godhi.”
Ilizwe leGibhithe liphambi kwakho; hlalisa uyihlo labafowenu ebuhleni belizwe, kabahlale elizweni leGosheni; futhi uba usazi ukuthi kukhona phakathi kwabo amadoda azingcitshi, uwabeke abe zinduna zezifuyo phezu kwengilakho.
7 Ergasii Yoosef abbaa isaa Yaaqoobin fidee fuula Faraʼoon duratti dhiʼeesse. Erga Yaaqoob Faraʼoonin eebbisee booddee,
UJosefa waseletha uJakobe uyise, wammisa phambi kukaFaro; uJakobe wasembusisa uFaro.
8 Faraʼoon, “Umuriin kee hammam?” jedhee isa gaafate.
UFaro wasesithi kuJakobe: Mangaki amalanga eminyaka yempilo yakho?
9 Yaaqoobis Faraʼooniin akkana jedhe; “Barri ani keessummummaan jiraadhe waggaa dhibbaa tokkoo fi soddoma. Baroonni koos muraasa; hamaadhas; innis bara abbootiin koo keessummummaan jiraatan sanaan wal qixxee miti.”
UJakobe wasesithi kuFaro: Amalanga eminyaka yobuhambuma bami ayiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu; abemalutshwana emabi amalanga eminyaka yempilo yami, futhi kawafinyelelanga emalangeni eminyaka yempilo yabobaba ensukwini zobuhambuma babo.
10 Kana booddee, Yaaqoob Faraʼoonin eebbisee fuula isaa duraa gad baʼe.
UJakobe wasebusisa uFaro, waphuma esuka ebusweni bukaFaro.
11 Yoosefis akkuma Faraʼoon isa ajajetti abbaa isaatii fi obboloota isaa Gibxi keessa qubachiise; lafa lafa hunda caalu, aanaa Raamsee handhuuraa godhee isaanii kenne.
UJosefa wabahlalisa oyise labafowabo, wabapha isabelo elizweni leGibhithe, ebuhleni belizwe kulalo lonke, emkhonweni iRamesesi njengoba uFaro elayile.
12 Akkasumas Yoosef abbaa isaatiif, obboloota isaatii fi warra mana abbaa isaa jiran hundaaf akkuma baayʼina ijoollee isaaniitti midhaan kenne.
UJosefa wasebondla oyise labafowabo lendlu yonke kayise ngesinkwa, ngokomlomo wabantwanyana.
13 Waan beelli akka malee cimeef biyyattii guutuu keessa wanni nyaatamu hin jiru ture; sababii beela sanaatiinis Gibxii fi Kanaʼaan akka malee miidhaman.
Njalo kwakungelakudla elizweni lonke, ngoba indlala yayinzima kakhulu; lelizwe leGibhithe lelizwe leKhanani aphela amandla ngendlala.
14 Yoosefis kaffaltii midhaan namoonni bitachaa turan sanaa maallaqa biyya Gibxii fi Kanaʼaan keessatti argamu hunda walitti qabee masaraa Faraʼoonitti galche.
UJosefa wasebutha yonke imali eyatholakala elizweni leGibhithe lelizweni leKhanani, yamabele ababewathenga; uJosefa waseletha imali endlini kaFaro.
15 Maallaqni warra Gibxii fi warra Kanaʼaan dhumnaan warri Gibxi hundi gara Yoosef dhufanii, “Midhaan nuu kenni. Nu maaliif fuula kee duratti duuna? Maallaqni keenya dhumeera” jedhan.
Kwathi imali isiphelile elizweni leGibhithe lelizweni leKhanani, wonke amaGibhithe eza kuJosefa esithi: Siphe ukudla; ngoba sizafelani phambi kwakho? Ngoba isiphelile imali.
16 Yoosef immoo, “Erga maallaqni keessan dhumee horii keessan fidaa; qooda horii keessanii ani midhaan isiniif nan kenna” jedhe.
UJosefa wasesithi: Lethani izifuyo zenu; njalo ngizalinika ngezifuyo zenu, uba imali isiphelile.
17 Isaanis horii isaanii Yoosefitti fidan; Yoosefis qooda fardeen isaanii, qooda bushaayee isaanii, qooda loowwan isaaniitii fi qooda harroota isaanii midhaan kenneef. Innis bara sana geeddaraa horii isaanii hundaa midhaan isaan soore.
Basebeletha izifuyo zabo kuJosefa; uJosefa wasebanika ukudla ngamabhiza langemfuyo yezimvu langemfuyo yenkomo langabobabhemi. Wasebondla ngokudla ngezifuyo zabo zonke ngalowomnyaka.
18 Waggaan sun dhumnaan jarri waggaa itti aanutti gara isaa dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Erga maallaqni keenya dhumee horiin keenya kan kee taʼee as, yaa gooftaa keenya akka dhagna keenyaa fi lafa keenya malee wanni tokko iyyuu nuuf hin hafin nu gooftaa keenya jalaa hin dhoksinu.
Kwathi usuphelile lowomnyaka, beza kuye ngomnyaka wesibili, bathi kuye: Kasiyikuyifihlela inkosi yethu ukuthi, njengoba imali isiphelile, lemfuyo yezifuyo isingeyenkosi yethu, kakukho okuseleyo phambi kwenkosi yethu, ngaphandle kwemizimba yethu lamasimu ethu.
19 Nu maaliif fuula kee duratti duuna? Nuu fi lafti keenyas maaliif badna? Nuu fi lafa keenya fudhadhuutii qooda isaa midhaan nuuf kenni. Nu lafa keenya wajjin Faraʼooniif ni garboomna. Akka nu duʼa jalaa baanee jiraannuuf, akka laftis duwwaa hin hafneef sanyii nuuf kenni.”
Sizafelani phambi kwamehlo akho, thina sonke lamasimu ethu? Sithenge lamasimu ethu ngokudla, thina-ke lamasimu ethu sibe zinceku zikaFaro; njalo siphe inhlanyelo ukuze siphile singafi, lokuthi umhlabathi ungalobi.
20 Yoosefis lafa biyya Gibxi hundumaa Faraʼooniif bite. Warri Gibxi hundi waan beelli isaanitti cimeef lafa isaanii gurguran; laftis kan Faraʼoon taʼe;
UJosefa wasemthengela uFaro ilizwe lonke leGibhithe, ngoba amaGibhithe athengisa ngulowo lalowo insimu yakhe, ngoba indlala yayilamandla phezu kwabo; lelizwe laba ngelikaFaro.
21 Yoosefis daangaa biyya Gibxi tokko irraa hamma daangaa kaaniitti saba garbummaa jala galche.
Njalo mayelana labantu, wabasusa baya emizini, kusukela ekupheleni komunye umngcele weGibhithe kusiya ekupheleni komunye wayo.
22 Lafti inni hin bitin lafa lubootaa qofa ture; kunis sababii isaan Faraʼoon irraa qooda argatanii fi sababii qooda Faraʼoon isaaniif kennu sanaan jiraataniif. Kanaafuu isaan lafa isaanii hin gurgurre.
Kuphela ilizwe labapristi kalithenganga, ngoba abapristi balesabelo kuFaro, badla isabelo sabo uFaro ayebanika sona; ngakho kabathengisanga ilizwe labo.
23 Yoosefis saba sanaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani harʼa isinii fi lafa keessan Faraʼooniif biteera. Kunoo lafatti sanyii facaafadhaa.
UJosefa wasesithi ebantwini: Khangelani, lamuhla ngilithengele uFaro lelizwe lenu; khangelani kulenhlanyelo yenu njalo lizahlanyela ensimini.
24 Yommuu midhaan galfamutti harka shan keessaa harka tokko Faraʼooniif ni kennitu. Harka afran hafe immoo sanyii facaafattan, nyaata ofii keessanii, nyaata warra mana keessan jiraataniitii fi nyaata ijoollee keessanii godhattu.”
Kuzakuthi-ke esivunweni limnike uFaro ingxenye yesihlanu, lengxenye ezine zibe ngezenu, kube yinhlanyelo yensimu lokudla kwenu lokwabasemizini yenu, lokudla kwabantwanyana benu.
25 Jarris, “Ati duʼa nu oolchiteerta; nu fuula gooftaa keenyaa duratti fudhatama haa argannuu malee Faraʼooniif garboota ni taana” jedhan.
Basebesithi: Usindise impilo yethu; asithole umusa emehlweni enkosi yami, njalo sizakuba yizigqili zikaFaro.
26 Yoosefis akkasiin akka harka shan keessaa harki tokko kan Faraʼoon taʼuuf Gibxi keessatti seera lafaa dhaabe; seerri sun hamma harʼaatti illee ittiin hojjetamaa jira. Lafa lubootaa qofattu utuu kan Faraʼoon hin taʼin hafe.
UJosefa wasekumisa kwaba ngumthetho kuze kube lamuhla, phezu kwelizwe leGibhithe, ukuthi ingxenye yesihlanu izakuba ngekaFaro; ngaphandle kwelizwe labapristi lodwa elingeyisilo likaFaro.
27 Israaʼeloonnis Gibxi keessa kutaa biyya Gooshen keessa qubatan. Achittis qabeenya argatan; horaniis guddaa baayʼatan.
UIsrayeli wasehlala elizweni leGibhithe, elizweni leGosheni; bazizuzela imfuyo kulo, bazala, banda kakhulu.
28 Yaaqoob waggaa kudha torba biyya Gibxi keessa jiraate; barri jireenya isaas waggaa dhibba tokkoo afurtamii torba ture.
UJakobe wasephila elizweni leGibhithe iminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa; ngakho insuku zikaJakobe, iminyaka yempilo yakhe, yayiyiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amane lesikhombisa.
29 Israaʼelis yeroon duʼa isaa dhiʼaannaan ilma isaa Yoosefin ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhe, mee harka kee gudeeda koo jala kaaʼiitii akka gaarummaa na argisiiftuu fi akka naaf amanamtu waadaa naaf seeni. Gibxitti na hin awwaalin;
Kwathi sekusondele insuku zikaIsrayeli ukuthi afe, wabiza indodana yakhe uJosefa, wathi kuye: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ake ubeke isandla sakho ngaphansi kwethangazi lami, ungenzele umusa leqiniso; ngicela ungangingcwabi eGibhithe;
30 yeroo ani abbootii koo wajjin boqodhutti biyya Gibxii na baasii iddoo isaan itti awwaalamanitti na awwaali.” Innis, “Akkuma ati jette nan godha” jedhe.
kodwa akuthi ngilale labobaba, ngakho uzangithwala ungisuse eGibhithe, ungingcwabe engcwabeni labo. Wasesithi: Mina ngizakwenza njengokwelizwi lakho.
31 Israaʼelis, “Naa kakadhu” jedheen. Yoosefis ni kakateef. Israaʼel immoo mataa ulee isaatti irkatee sagade.
Wasesithi: Funga kimi. Wasefunga kuye. UIsrayeli wasekhothamela phezu kwesihloko sombheda.
