1 Yoosefis abbaa isaa irratti kufee booʼeef; isa dhungates.
UJosefa waziphosela phezu kukayise wamkhalela, wasemanga.
2 Ergasii immoo Yoosef tajaajiltoota isaa kanneen ogeessota fayyaa taʼan akka isaan reeffa abbaa isaa qorichaan sukkuuman ajaje; jarris reeffa Israaʼel qorichaan sukkuuman;
UJosefa waselaya izinyanga ezazingaphansi kwakhe ukuqhola umzimba kayise u-Israyeli. Ngakho izinyanga zamqhola,
3 waan kana gochuun bultii afurtama guutuu isaanitti fudhate; yeroon qoricha reeffa dibuuf barbaachisu kana tureetii. Warri Gibxiis bultii torbaatama isaaf booʼan.
zathatha insuku ezingamatshumi amane ezigcweleyo, ngoba kwakuthatha isikhathi esingako ukuqhola. AmaGibhithe amlilela insuku ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
4 Guyyoonni gaddaa darbinaan Yoosef warra mana Faraʼoon jiraataniin akkana jedhe; “Yoo ani fuula keessan duratti fudhatama argadheera taʼe, akkana jedhaatii Faraʼoonitti naa himaa:
Insuku zokulila sezedlule, uJosefa wathi kuziphathamandla zikaFaro, “Nxa ngifumane umusa kini, ngikhulumelani kuFaro. Mtsheleni lithi,
5 ‘Abbaan koo akkana jedhee na kakachiiseera; “Kunoo ani duʼuu gaʼeera; awwaala ani biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti ofii kootiif qotadhetti na awwaalaa.” Kanaafuu maaloo ani amma dhaqee abbaa koo nan awwaalladha; ergasii immoo nan deebiʼa.’”
‘Ubaba wangifungisa isifungo wathi, “Sengizakufa; lingimbele ethuneni engazigebhela lona mina ngokwami elizweni laseKhenani.” Manje-ke ake ungivumele ngihambe ngiyongcwaba ubaba; besengiphenduka.’”
6 Faraʼoonis, “Dhaqiitii akkuma inni si kakachiise sanatti abbaa kee awwaalladhu” jedheen.
UFaro wathi, “Hamba uyongcwaba uyihlo, njengoba wakufungisa ukuthi uzakwenza.”
7 Yoosefis abbaa isaa awwaallachuu dhaqe. Qondaaltonni Faraʼoon hundinuu hangafoonni mana isaatii fi hangafoonni Gibxi hundi isa wajjin deeman.
Ngakho uJosefa wahamba wayangcwaba uyise. Zonke izikhulu zikaFaro zamphelekezela, izikhulu zakhe zomphakathi kanye lazozonke izikhulu zaseGibhithe,
8 Akkasumas warri mana Yoosef jiraatan, obboloota isaatii fi warri mana abbaa isaa jiraatan hundi isa wajjin deeman. Ijoollee isaanii, bushaayee isaaniitii fi loon isaanii qofattu, Gooshenitti hafe.
ngaphandle kwabo bonke abendlu kaJosefa labafowabo lalabo ababe ngabendlu kayise. EGosheni kwasala kuphela abantwana lemihlambi yabo yezimvu leyenkomo.
9 Gaariiwwanii fi warri farda yaabbatanis isa wajjin deeman. Tuunni sunis akka malee guddaa ture.
Wahamba elezinqola zempi labakhweli bamabhiza. Kwakulixuku elikhulu.
10 Isaanis yommuu Yordaanos gama oobdii Axaad bira gaʼanitti sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii gadoodanii booʼan. Yoosefis achitti abbaa isaatiif guyyaa torba booʼe.
Bathi ngokufika esizeni sika-Athadi eduze kweJodani basiqhinqa isililo esikhulu esibuhlungu; kwathi khonapho uJosefa wazilela uyise okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
11 Namoonni Kanaʼaan warri achi jiraachaa turan booʼicha oobdii Axaad biratti booʼame sana arganii, “Booʼichi kun warra Gibxiitiif booʼicha guddaa dha” jedhan. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Abeel Misraayim jedhamee moggaafame. Iddoon sunis Yordaanos gamatti argama.
Kwathi amaKhenani ayehlala eduzane ebona ukulila lokho esizeni sika-Athadi athi, “AmaGibhithe alenkonzo yawo yokulila.” Yikho-nje leyondawo eseduze kweJodani ithiwa yi-Abheli-Mizirayimi.
12 Ilmaan Yaaqoob akkuma inni isaan ajaje sana godhan;
Ngalokho amadodana kaJakhobe enza lokho uyise abalaya khona:
13 isaanis biyya Kanaʼaanitti isa geessanii holqa Mamree biratti lafa qotiisaa Makfelaa keessatti argamu kan Abrahaam iddoo awwaalaa godhachuudhaaf Efroon namicha gosa Heeti sana irra lafa qotiisaa wajjin bitate sanatti awwaalan.
Bamthwalela elizweni laseKhenani bayamngcwaba ebhalwini olwalusensimini kaMakhaphela, eduze leMamure, u-Abhrahama aluthenga kanye lensimu ku-Efroni umHithi ukuthi kube yindawo yokungcwaba.
14 Yoosef erga abbaa isaa awwaallatee booddee obboloota isaatii fi warra isa wajjin abbaa isaa awwaaluu dhaqan hunda wajjin Gibxitti deebiʼe.
Esemngcwabile uyise uJosefa wabuyela eGibhithe kanye labafowabo labo bonke ababehambe laye ukuyangcwaba uyise.
15 Obboloonni Yoosef erga abbaan isaanii duʼee booddee, “Yoo Yoosef hamaa nu isatti hojjennee hundaaf haaloo qabatee haaloo nutti baʼe hoo?” jedhan.
Abafowabo bakaJosefa sebebonile ukuthi uyise sefile, bathi, “Kambe uJosefa kasibekelanga isikhwili yini abesefuna ukuphindisela ngakho konke esamona ngakho?”
16 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Yoosefitti dhaammatan; “Abbaan kee utuu hin duʼin dura akkana jedhee ajaje;
Ngakho bathumela ilizwi kuJosefa besithi, “Uyihlo watshiya imilayo le engakafi:
17 ‘Isin akkana jedhaa Yoosefitti himaa; ani akka ati cubbuu fi balleessaa obboloonni kee si miidhuuf jedhanii sitti hojjetan sana isaanii dhiiftu sin kadhadha.’ Maaloo cubbuu tajaajiltoota Waaqa abbaa keetii dhiisi.” Yoosefis yommuu ergaa isaanii dhagaʼetti ni booʼe.
‘Nanku elimele likutsho kuJosefa: Ngiyakucela ukuthi uxolele abafowenu izono leziphambeko abazenzayo ngokukuphatha kubi kangaka.’ Manje siyacela ukuthi uthethelele izono zezinceku zikaNkulunkulu kayihlo.” Kwathi ilizwi labo selifikile kuye uJosefa wakhala.
18 Obboloonni isaas dhufanii fuula isaa duratti lafa dhaʼanii, “Kunoo nu garboota kee ti” jedhan.
Abafowabo beza bafika bazilahla phansi phambi kwakhe. Bathi, “Siyizigqili zakho.”
19 Yoosef garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Hin sodaatinaa. Anatu iddoo Waaqaa buʼaa?
Kodwa uJosefa wathi kubo, “Lingesabi. Mina ngisesikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu na?
20 Isin hamaa natti yaaddan; Waaqni garuu akkuma amma taʼee jiru kana lubbuu nama baayʼee baraaruuf jedhee waan gaariif yaade.
Lalihlose ukungenza okubi, kodwa uNkulunkulu wayehlose ubuhle ngakho ukuze kugcwaliseke lokhu okwenzakalayo khathesi, ukuphephisa impilo ezinengi.
21 Egaa hin sodaatinaa. Ani isinii fi ijoollee keessan nan sooraatii.” Innis waan garaa isaan ciibsu isaanitti dubbatee isaan jajjabeesse.
Ngakho-ke, lingesabi. Ngizalinakekela lina labantwabenu.” Wababeka isibindi wabakhulumisa ngomusa.
22 Yoosef maatii abbaa isaa wajjin Gibxi keessa ture. Innis waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhan jiraate.
UJosefa wahlala eGibhithe kanye labo bonke abendlu kayise. Waphila okweminyaka elikhulu letshumi,
23 Dhaloota sadaffaa ijoollee Efreem arge. Akkasumas ilmaan Maakiir ilma Minaasee jilba Yoosef irratti dhalatan.
wabona isizukulwane sesithathu sabantwana baka-Efrayimi. Njalo labantwana bakaMakhiri indodana kaManase bathi bezalwa babekwa emadolweni kaJosefa.
24 Yoosefis obboloota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani duʼuu gaʼeera. Waaqni garuu dhugumaan dhufee isin gargaara; biyya kanaa isin baasees gara biyya Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif kakuun waadaa gale sanaatti isin geessa.”
UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo, “Sengiseduze lokufa. Kodwa ngempela uNkulunkulu uzalisiza alikhuphe kulelilizwe alise elizweni alithembisa ngesifungo ku-Abhrahama, lo-Isaka loJakhobe.”
25 Yoosefis ijoollee Israaʼel kakachiisee akkana jedheen; “Waaqni dhugumaan dhufee isin gargaara; isinis lafee koo biyya kanaa ol baasuu qabdu.”
UJosefa wasefungisa amadodana ka-Israyeli isifungo wathi, “UNkulunkulu uzalisiza, yikho kumele lithwale amathambo ami lisuke lawo kule indawo.”
26 Yoosefis waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhanitti duʼe. Jarris qorichaan sukkuumanii Gibxitti sanduuqa reeffaa keessa isa kaaʼan.
UJosefa wasesifa eseleminyaka yobudala elikhulu letshumi. Bathi sebemqholile, isidumbu sakhe basibeka ebhokisini eGibhithe.
