Bilowgii 43
1 Abaartuna dalka aad bay ugu xumayd.
The famine in Canaan got worse.
2 Oo markii ay wada cuneen hadhuudhkii ay Masar ka keeneen ayaa aabbahood ku yidhi, Bal taga haddana, oo cunto yar inoo soo iibiya.
Finally, when Jacob and his family had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, Jacob said to them, “Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain for us!”
3 Markaasaa Yahuudah la hadlay isagii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ninkii aad buu noogu digay, oo wuxuu nagu yidhi, Wejigayga ma aad arki doontaan in walaalkiin idinla jiro mooyaane.
But Judah said to him, “The man who sold us the grain warned us sternly, ‘I will not let you see me [SYN] again if you come and your younger brother is not with you.’
4 Haddaad walaalkayo na raacisid, waannu dhaadhacaynaa oo cuntaannu kuu soo iibinaynaa,
So, if you will send our younger brother with us, we will go down to Egypt and buy some grain for you.
5 laakiinse haddaadan isaga dirin, annagu dhaadhici mayno; waayo, ninkii wuxuu nagu yidhi, Wejigayga ma aad arki doontaan in walaalkiin idinla jiro mooyaane.
But if you will not send him, we will not go down there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not with you.’”
6 Markaasaa Israa'iil wuxuu yidhi, Maxaad sida xun iigula macaamilooteen, oo aad ninka ugu sheegteen inaad walaal kale leedihiin?
Jacob asked, “Why did you cause me to have this trouble by telling the man that you had a younger brother?”
7 Markaasay yidhaahdeen, Ninku wuu na haybsaday annaga iyo xigaalkayaga, oo wuxuuna yidhi, Aabbihiin weli ma nool yahay? Walaal kale ma leedihiin? Oo annana waxaannu ugu jawaabnay wixii uu na weyddiiyey; waayo, miyaannu sinaba ku garan karnay inuu nagu odhan doono, Walaalkiin keena?
One of them replied, “The man asked about us and about our family. He said, ‘Is your father still living? Do you have another brother?’ We had to answer his questions. (We could not know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’/How could we know that he would say, ‘The next time that you come down here, bring your brother with you!’)” [RHQ]
8 Markaasaa Yahuudah wuxuu ku yidhi aabbihiis Israa'iil, Wiilka i raaci, oo markaas waannu kici oo waannu tegi doonnaa, inaynu noolaanno, oo aynaan dhiman, annaga, iyo adiga, iyo dhallaankayaguba.
Then Judah said to his father Jacob, “Send the boy with me, and we will go immediately, in order that we and you and our children may get grain and not die from hunger.
9 Anigaa dammiin u noqon doona oo anaad i weyddiisan doontaa isaga. Haddii aan kuu keeni waayo isaga oo aan hortaada soo joojin waayo, aniga eeddu ha i saarnaato weligay,
I myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it was my fault [that he did not return to you)].
10 waayo, haddaannan raagin, hubaal hadda mar labaad waannu soo noqon lahayn.
If we had not (wasted so much time/waited so long), by now we could have gone there and returned two times!”
11 Markaasaa aabbahood Israa'iil wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Hadday haatan saas tahay, bal tan yeela, haddaba midhaha ugu fiican oo dalka weelashiinna ku qaada, oo bal ninkii hadiyad ugu geeya, wuxoogaa beeyo ah, iyo wuxoogaa malab ah, iyo xawaash iyo malmal, iyo lows iyo yicib;
Then their father Jacob said to them, “If there is no other way, do this: Put in your sacks some of the best things that are grown in this land, and take them down to the man as a gift. Take some balm/perfume and honey and spices and myrrh/ointment, some pistachio nuts, and almonds.
12 gacantiinnana lacag labanlaab ah ku qaada, oo lacagtii joonyadihiinna afkooda lagu soo celiyeyna haddana gacantiinna ku qaada, waayo, mindhaa waa la soo qaldamay.
Take twice as much money as you took the previous time, because you must return the silver that someone put in the tops of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake that it was put in your sacks.
13 Walaalkiinna kaxeeya, oo kaca, oo bal haddana ninkii u taga,
Take your younger brother and go back to that man.
14 oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu naxariis ha idinka siiyo ninka hortiisa, inuu idiin sii daayo walaalkiinnii kale iyo Benyaamiin. Oo haddaan carruurtayda ka gablamo, anaa gablamay.
I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!”
15 Markaasaa nimankii waxay qaadeen hadiyaddii, lacag labanlaab ahna gacantooday ku qaadeen, Benyaamiinna way kaxeeyeen, wayna kaceen oo Masar tageen, oo waxay hor istaageen Yuusuf.
So the men took the gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front of Joseph.
16 Oo markii Yuusuf arkay Benyaamiin oo iyaga la jira ayuu wakiilkii gurigiisa ku yidhi, Nimanka guriga soo geli, dabadeedna neef qal oo diyaari, waayo, duhurka nimanku anigay ila qadayn doonaan.
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who (was in charge of/supervised) things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” [And he told him in what order they were to be seated].
17 Markaasaa ninkii yeelay wixii Yuusuf ku amray; oo ninkii wuxuu nimankii soo geliyey gurigii Yuusuf.
The man did as Joseph said. And he took them to Joseph’s house.
18 Nimankiina waa cabcabsadeen, maxaa yeelay, waxaa la soo geliyey gurigii Yuusuf; oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Lacagtii markii hore lagu soo celiyey joonyadaheenna weeye waxa laynoo soo xeraystay; wuxuu doonayaa inuu wax inoo qabsado, oo uu ina dhaco, oo uu ina addoonsado, dameerradeennana qaato.
But they were afraid because he was taking them to Joseph’s house. They were thinking, “He is taking us here because of the silver that was put in our sacks the first time that we came here. While we are eating, he will have his servants attack us and seize us and cause us to become his slaves, and also take our donkeys.”
19 Markaasay waxay u soo dhowaadeen wakiilkii guriga Yuusuf, oo waxay isagii kula hadleen albaabkii guriga,
They went with the man who was in charge of things in Joseph’s house. When they arrived at the entrance of the house,
20 waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidkayagiiyow, markii hore waxaannu u soo dhaadhacnay inaannu cunto iibsanno,
one of them said to him, “Please, sir, listen to me. We came down here previously and bought some grain.
21 oo markii aannu meel aannu ku hoyanno gaadhnay ayaannu furnay joonyadahayagii, oo bal eeg, nin walba lacagtiisii waxay ugu jirtay joonyaddiisa afkeeda, waxay ahayd lacagtayadii oo miisaankeedii dhan yahay; oo haddana gacantayadaannu ku soo celinnay.
But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us.
22 Oo lacag kale oo aannu cunto ku iibsannona waan la soo dhaadhacnay. Annagu garan mayno kii lacagtayadii ku riday joonyadahayagii.
We have also brought more silver with us to buy more grain. We do not know who put the silver in our sacks.”
23 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Nabad ha idiin ahaato, ee ha cabsanina. Ilaahiinna ah Ilaaha aabbihiin ayaa maal idiinku riday joonyadihiinnii. Anigu waan helay lacagtiinnii. Markaasuu Simecoon dibadda ugu soo bixiyey iyagii.
The man replied, [“Relax]! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison.
24 Oo ninkii baa nimankii soo geliyey gurigii Yuusuf, oo biyo siiyey, kolkaasay cagamaydheen. Dameerradoodiina cuntuu siiyey.
Then he took them into Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet and gave them food for the donkeys.
25 Markaasay diyaariyeen hadiyaddii intuusan Yuusuf duhurkii iman; waayo, waxay maqleen inay halkaas wax ka cuni doonaan.
He told them that they were going to eat with Joseph at noon. So the men prepared their gifts to give to Joseph when he arrived.
26 Oo markii Yuusuf gurigii yimid ayay gurigii ugu keeneen hadiyaddii gacantooda ku jirtay, markaasay u wada sujuudeen oo wejiga dhulka saareen.
When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts that they had brought into the house. Then they bowed down to the ground in front of him.
27 Isna markaasuu nabdaadiyey iyagii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ninkii duqa ahaa oo aad sheegteen oo aabbihiin ahaa ma ladan yahay? Weli miyuu nool yahay?
He asked them if they were (well/in good health), and then he asked, “How is the health of your old father, the one that you told me about? Is he still living?”
28 Markaasay yidhaahdeen, Addoonkaagii aabbahayo ahaa waa ladan yahay, welina wuu nool yahay. Kolkaasay madaxa foororiyeen, oo ay u sujuudeen.
One of them replied, “Yes, our father, [who is willing to be] your servant, is still alive, and he is well.” Then again they bowed down in front of him.
29 Markaasuu intuu indhihiisii kor u taagay wuxuu arkay Benyaamiin oo ahaa walaalkiisii hooyo, oo wuxuu yidhi, Kanu ma walaalkiinnii idiinku yaraa oo aad ii sheegteen baa? Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, Ilaah ha kuu roonaado.
Then he saw his [younger] brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.”
30 Markaasuu Yuusuf dhaqsaday, oo goobtay meel uu ku ooyo, waayo, walaalkiis buu u beernuglaaday oo wuxuu galay qowladdiisii, oo halkaasuu ku ooyay.
Joseph quickly left the room. He realized that he was about to cry because he (was full of emotion about his younger brother/loved his younger brother so much). He went into his private room and cried there.
31 Kolkaasuu intuu fooldhaqday soo baxay; oo intuu adkaystay ayuu wuxuu yidhi, Cunto noo soo dhiga.
Then, after he washed the tears from his face, he came out, and controlling his emotions, he said to the servants, “Serve the food!”
32 Markaasay isagii gooni ahaantiis ugu dhigeen, iyagiina gooni ahaantood, Masriyiintii isaga la cuntayna gooni ahaantood; maxaa yeelay, Masriyiintu lama ay cuni karin Cibraaniyada, waayo, taasu Masriyiinta karaahiyo bay u ahayd.
The people of Egypt considered that it was disgraceful for them to eat with Hebrews, so the servants served food to Joseph by himself, and served the other people of Egypt who ate with him by themselves, and they served Joseph’s older brothers and younger brother by themselves.
33 Oo waxay hor fadhiisteen isagii, curadka sidii curadnimadiisii ahayd buu u fadhiistay, kii ugu yaraana yaraannimadiisii; markaasaa nimankii midba midka kale eegay oo ay wada yaabeen.
His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest!
34 Markaasaa hortiisa waxaa iyagii looga qaaday dhawr qaybood oo cunto ah, laakiinse intii Benyaamiin shan jeer bay ka weynayd kuwa kale intoodii. Kolkaasay wax cabbeen oo ay la farxeen isagii.
And when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful.
