Bilowgii 42
1 Haddaba Yacquub wuxuu arkay in hadhuudh laga helo Masar, markaasuu Yacquub wiilashiisii ku yidhi, War maxaa midkiinba midka kale u fiirinayaa?
When someone told Jacob that there was grain in Egypt that people could buy, he said to his sons, “(Why do you just sit there looking at each other?/Do not just sit there looking at each other!) [RHQ] We need some grain!”
2 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Bal ogaada, waxaan maqlay in hadhuudh laga helo Masar. Bal xaggaas u dhaadhaca, oo halkaas wax inooga soo iibiya, inaynu noolaanno oo aynaan dhimanin.
He said to them, “Someone told me that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, in order that we will not die!”
3 Markaasaa Yuusuf tobankiisii walaal waxay u tageen Masar inay hadhuudh ka soo iibsadaan.
So Joseph’s ten [older] brothers went down to Egypt to buy some grain.
4 Laakiinse Benyaamiin oo ahaa Yuusuf walaalkiis Yacquub ma uu raacinin walaalihiis; waayo, wuxuu isyidhi, Waaba intaasoo belaayo ku dhacdaa.
But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s [younger] brother, to go with the others, because he was afraid/worried that something terrible might happen to him like what happened to Joseph.
5 Markaasaa wiilashii Israa'iil waxay u yimaadeen inay wax iibsadaan, iyagoo la socda kuwii yimid, waayo, abaartu dalkii Kancaanna way ka dhacday.
So Jacob’s other sons went down from Canaan to Egypt to buy grain, and others from there went too, because there was a famine in Canaan also.
6 Yuusufna wuxuu ahaa taliyihii dalka, isaguna wuxuu ahaa kii wax ka iibin jiray dadka dalka oo dhan. Markaasay Yuusuf walaalihiis u yimaadeen isagii, oo intay u wada sujuudeen ayay wejiga dhulka wada saareen.
At that time Joseph was the governor of Egypt. He was the one who sold grain to people who came from all over Egypt and from many other countries [HYP] to buy grain. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, [they were told that it was necessary for them to talk with Joseph. So they went to him and] prostrated themselves before him with their faces to the ground.
7 Yuusufna walaalihiis wuu arkay, wuuna gartay, laakiin wuxuu isaga dhigay sidii nin qalaad, oo intuu si qallafsan ula hadlay ayuu wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, War xaggee baad ka timaadeen? Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu ka nimid dalka Kancaan si aannu cunto u iibsanno.
As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them. But he pretended that he did not know them. He spoke harshly to them, saying, “Where do you come from?” One of them replied, “We have come from Canaan, to buy some grain.”
8 Yuusufna wuu gartay walaalihiis laakiinse iyagu ma ay garan isagii.
Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
9 Markaasaa Yuusuf xusuustay riyooyinkii iyaga ku saabsanaa oo uu ku riyooday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Basaasyaad tihiin, oo waxaad u timaadeen inaad aragtaan dhulka abaarnimadiisa.
And then Joseph remembered what he had dreamed about them many years previously. [But he decided not to tell them yet that he was their younger brother]. He said to them, “You are spies! You have come to find out whether we will be able to defend ourselves [if you attack us]!”
10 Iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen isagii, Maya, sayidkayagiiyow, laakiinse annagoo addoommadaada ah waxaannu u nimid inaannu cunto iibsanno.
One of them replied, “No, sir! We have come to buy grain.
11 Kulligayo isku nin wiilashiis baannu nahay, oo waxaannu nahay niman daacad ah, oo annagoo addoommadaada ah basaasyo ma nihin.
We are all sons of one man. We are honest men, not spies.”
12 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Maya, laakiinse waxaad u timaadeen inaad aragtaan dhulka abaarnimadiisa.
He said to them, “[I do not believe you]. You have come just to see whether we would be able to defend ourselves if we were attacked!”
13 Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Annagoo ah addoommadaada waxaannu nahay laba iyo toban walaalo ah, oo waxaannu nahay nin jooga dalka Kancaan wiilashiisii; oo bal eeg, kii noogu yaraa wuxuu maanta la joogaa aabbahayo, midna maba joogo.
But one of them replied, “No, that is not true! Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one man. Our younger brother is with our father. One [younger] brother has died. [EUP]”
14 Markaasuu Yuusuf iyagii ku yidhi, Taasu waa tii aan idinkula hadlay, anigoo leh, Basaasyaad tihiin.
Joseph replied, “[You are lying! I think] it is just as I told you. You are spies!
15 Haddaba tan baa laydinku tijaabin doonaa; nolosha Fircoon baan ku dhaartay inaydaan halkan ka tegi doonin, in walaalkiinnii yaraa halkan yimaado mooyaane.
But this is how I will determine whether what you are saying is true. I think that as surely as the king lives, you are spies. And you will not leave this place until your youngest brother comes here!
16 Mid idinka mid ah dira, oo ha keeno walaalkiin, idinkuna waad xidhnaan doontaan, in la tijaabiyo hadalkiinna, bal inay runi idinku jirto iyo in kale, haddii kalese hubaal nolosha Fircoon baan ku dhaartay inaad basaasyo tihiin.
Send one of your group to go and get your younger brother and bring him here. I will put the rest of you in prison, in order that I may test what you have said to find out whether what you are telling me is true. If the one who goes does not bring your younger brother here, then, just as surely as the king lives, it will be clear that you are lying and that you are spies.”
17 Markaasuu kulligood muddo saddex maalmood ah wada xabbisay.
Then Joseph put them all in prison for three days.
18 Kolkaasaa maalintii saddexaad Yuusuf iyagii ku yidhi, Tan yeela, oo waad noolaan doontaan, waayo, anigu Ilaah baan ka cabsadaa.
On the third day, Joseph went to the prison and said to them, “I am a man who fears that God [will punish me if I do not do what I promise]. So do what I tell you, and I will spare your lives.
19 Haddaad niman daacad ah tihiin, walaalihiinna midkood ha ku xidhnaado guriga xabsigiinna; laakiinse idinku taga, oo hadhuudh u geeya reerihiinna abaaraysan.
If you are honest men, let one of your brothers stay here in prison, and the rest of you can take some grain back to your families who are very hungry because of the famine.
20 Walaalkiinna idiinku wada yar ii keena; sidaasuu hadalkiinnu ku rumoobi doonaa, mana aad dhiman doontaan. Iyana sidii bay yeeleen.
But if you come back here again, you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that you can prove that what you told me is true, and as a result I will not have you executed.” So they agreed to do that.
21 Markaasay waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Runtii walaalkeen eed baan ka galnay, maxaa yeelay, waxaynu aragnay naftiisii dhibaatada ku jirtay, markuu ina baryay, mana aynu maqlin, sidaas daraaddeed ayay dhibaatadanu inoogu dhacday.
They said to each other, “It is surely because of what we did to our [younger] brother that (we are being punished/God is punishing us)! We saw that he [SYN] was very distressed when he pleaded with us not to harm him. But we did not pay any attention to him, and that is why we are having this trouble!”
22 Markaasaa Ruubeen u jawaabay iyagii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Miyaanan idinla hadlin oo idinku odhan, Wiilka ha ku dembaabina, oo sow ima aydin maqli waayin? Haddaba bal eega, dhiiggiisii baa laydin weyddiistaye.
Reuben said to them, “I told you not to harm the boy [RHQ], but you did not pay attention to what I said! Now we are being (paid back/punished) for killing him [MTY]!”
23 Oo iyana ma ay ogayn in Yuusuf gartay iyaga; waayo, turjumaan baa kala dhex joogay.
While they were talking with Joseph, they were speaking through (an interpreter/someone who knew their language and the Egyptian language), but when they said these things among themselves, they were speaking in their own language, and they did not know that Joseph could understand their language, and that he could understand what they were saying.
24 Markaasuu ka sii jeestay iyagii, wuuna ooyay; oo haddana intuu ku soo noqday ayuu la hadlay, oo wuxuu kala dhex baxay Simecoon, wuuna xidhay isagii iyagoo arkaya.
[Because of what they said, Joseph realized that they admitted that what they had done to him many years previously was wrong]. He could not keep from crying, [and he did not want them to see him crying], so he left them and went outside the room and began to cry. But then he returned to them and talked to them again. Then he took Simeon, and while they were watching, he told his servants to tie him up. He left Simeon in the prison and told the others that they could go.
25 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu amray in joonyadahoodii hadhuudh looga buuxiyo, iyo in nin walba lacagtiisii loogu celiyo joonyaddiisii iyo in sahay jidka loo siiyo, oo sidii baana loo yeelay.
Joseph told his servants to fill the men’s sacks with grain, but he also told them to put the money that each one had paid for the grain in the top of his sack. He also told them to give them food to eat along the way. After the servants did those things for Joseph’s older brothers,
26 Markaasay hadhuudhkoodii dameerradoodii ku rarteen, wayna ka tageen halkaas.
his older brothers loaded the sacks of grain on their donkeys and left.
27 Meeshay ku hoydeen markii uu midkood joonyaddiisii ugu furay inuu dameerkiisii cunto siiyo ayuu arkay lacagtiisii oo ku jirta joonyaddiisii afkeeda.
At the place where they stopped to sleep that night, one of them opened his sack to get some grain for his donkey. He was amazed to see his money in the top of the sack.
28 Markaasuu walaalihiis ku yidhi, Lacagtaydii waa lay soo celiyey; oo waxay ku jirtaa joonyaddayda, markaasay qalbiga ka nexeen, oo ay isku jeesteen iyagoo gariiraya, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Waa maxay waxakan Ilaah inagu sameeyey?
He exclaimed to his brothers, “Someone has returned my money! Here it is in my sack!” They started shaking with fear, and said to each other, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 Markaasay aabbahood Yacquub ugu yimaadeen dalkii Kancaan, oo waxay isagii u sheegeen wixii ku dhacay oo dhan, iyagoo leh,
When they returned to their father in Canaan land, they told him all that had happened to them. One of them said,
30 Ninka sayidka u ah dalka ayaa si qallafsan noola hadlay, oo wuxuu noo qaatay inaannu dalka basaasayno.
“The man who governs the whole land of Egypt talked very harshly to us. He acted toward us as though we were spying on his country.
31 Oo waxaannu isagii ku nidhi, Annagu waxaannu nahay niman daacad ah; oo basaasyo ma aannu nihin.
But we told him, ‘We are honest men! We are not spies.
32 Waxaannu nahay laba iyo toban walaalo ah, oo ah wiilashii aabbahayo. Mid ma joogo, kii noogu yaraana maanta dalkii Kancaan ayuu aabbahayo la joogaa.
Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one father. One has died [EUP], and our youngest brother is with our father in Canaan.’
33 Markaasaa ninkii sayidka u ahaa dalka wuxuu nagu yidhi, Inaad niman daacad ah tihiin tanaan idinku garan doonaaye; walaalihiin mid igaga taga, oo hadhuudh u qaada reerihiinna abaaraysan, oo iska taga,
The man who is the governor of the land [did not believe us], so he said to us, ‘This is how I will know if you are truly honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me. Then the rest of you can take some grain for your families that are starving from hunger and go.
34 oo ii keena walaalkiinnii idiinku wada yaraa, markaasaan garan doonaa inaydaan basaasyo ahayn, laakiinse inaad tihiin niman daacad ah. Markaasaan walaalkiin idin siin doonaa, dalkana waad ka baayacmushtari doontaan.
But when you return, bring your youngest brother to me, in order that I will know that you are not spies, but instead, that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother for you. And then you can buy whatever you want in this country.’”
35 Oo waxay noqotay in markay joonyadahoodii hadhuudhkii ka shubeen, nin walba xidhmadiisii lacagta ahayd ay ugu jirtay joonyaddiisii, oo markii iyaga iyo aabbahood ay arkeen xidhmooyinkoodii lacagta ahaa ayay baqeen.
As they were emptying their sacks, they were surprised that in each man’s sack was his pouch of money! When they and their father saw all the pouches of money, they were frightened.
36 Markaasaa aabbahood Yacquub wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Gablan baad iga dhigteen, bal eeg, Yuusuf ma joogo, oo Simecoon ma joogo, oo haddana waxaad kaxayn doontaan Benyaamiin; waxyaalahan oo dhammu waa iga gees.
Their father Jacob said to them, “You have caused two of my children to be taken from me! Joseph is dead, and Simeon is gone! And now you want to take Benjamin from me! It is I who am suffering because of all these things that are happening!”
37 Markaasaa Ruubeen aabbihiis la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii aan isaga kuu keeni waayo, dil labadayda wiil. Aniga ii dhiib isaga, oo anna waan kuu soo celin doonaa.
Reuben said to his father, “I will be responsible for Benjamin. [I will take him to Egypt and] bring him back to you. Let me take care of him. If I do not bring Benjamin back to you, you may kill both of my sons.”
38 Markaasuu yidhi, Wiilkaygu idinla dhaadhici maayo; waayo, walaalkiis waa dhintay, oo keligiis baa hadhay. Haddii jidka aad sii maraysaan belaayo kaga dhacdo isaga, de markaas cirradayda caloolxumaad qabriga la gelin doontaan. (Sheol h7585)
But Jacob said, “No, I will not let my son go down there with you. His [older] brother is dead, and he is the only [one of my wife Rachel’s] sons who is left! If something harms him while you are traveling, you would cause me, a gray-haired old man, to die because of sorrow.” (Sheol h7585)
