Bilowgii 44

1 Markaasuu amray wakiilkii gurigiisa, oo ku yidhi, Nimanka joonyadahooda cunto uga buuxi, in alla intay qaadi karaan, nin walba lacagtiisana joonyaddiisa afkeeda ugu rid.

Then Joseph instructed his steward: “Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each one’s silver in the mouth of his sack.

2 Kan ugu yar joonyaddiisa afkeedana waxaad ku riddaa koobkayga lacagta ah iyo lacagtiisii uu hadhuudhka ku doonayay. Markaasuu yeelay hadalkii Yuusuf kula hadlay.

Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed.

3 Oo markii waagii beryay ayaa nimankii la diray, iyagii iyo dameerradoodiiba.

At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.

4 Oo markay magaaladii dibadda uga baxeen, oo ayan weli fogaan, ayaa Yuusuf ku yidhi wakiilkiisii, Kac oo ka daba tag nimankii, oo markaad gaadhid, waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Maxaad wanaag xumaan noogu abaalguddeen?

They had not gone far from the city when Joseph told his steward, “Pursue the men at once, and when you overtake them, ask, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?

5 Miyuusan kanu ahayn koobka sayidkaygu wax ku cabbo, oo uu ku faaliyo? Wax xun baad samayseen markaad saas yeesheen.

Is this not the cup my master drinks from and uses for divination? What you have done is wicked!’”

6 Kolkaasuu gaadhay, oo uu hadalkan kula hadlay.

When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.

7 Markaasay waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidkaygiiyow, hadalka caynkan ah maxaad ugu hadlaysaa? Yaanay noqon in annagoo ah addoommadaada aannu wax caynkaas ah samayno.

“Why does my lord say these things?” they asked. “Your servants could not possibly do such a thing.

8 Bal eeg, lacagtii aannu ka dhex helnay joonyadahayaga afafkooda ayaannu kaaga soo celinnay dalkii Kancaan; de haddaba sidee baannu guriga sayidkaaga uga xadi karnaa lacag ama dahab?

We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found in the mouths of our sacks. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?

9 Ku alla kii addoommadaada ka mid ah oo laga helo, kaasu ha dhinto, annaguna addoommo baannu kuu noqon doonnaa, sayidkaygiiyow.

If any of your servants is found to have it, he must die, and the rest will become slaves of my lord.”

10 Markaasuu yidhi, Waa yahay, oo haatan sidaad tidhaahdeen ha noqoto. Kii laga helo addoon buu ii noqon doonaa, idinkuna waad eedla'aan doontaan.

“As you say,” replied the steward. “But only the one who is found with the cup will be my slave, and the rest of you shall be free of blame.”

11 Markaasay degdegeen, oo nin waluba joonyaddiisii buu dhulka dhigay, dabadeedna nin waluba joonyaddiisii buu furay.

So each one quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.

12 Kolkaasuu baadhay, oo wuxuu ka bilaabay kii ugu weynaa, oo wuxuu ku dhammeeyey kii ugu yaraa; oo koobkiina waxaa laga helay joonyaddii Benyaamiin.

The steward searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest—and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

13 Kolkaasay dharkoodii jeexjeexeen, oo nin waluba dameerkiisii buu rartay, oo magaaladii bay ku noqdeen.

Then they all tore their clothes, loaded their donkeys, and returned to the city.

14 Markaasaa Yahuudah iyo walaalihiis waxay yimaadeen gurigii Yuusuf; oo isna weli halkaasuu joogay. Kolkaasay hortiisa dhulka isku tuureen.

When Judah and his brothers arrived at Joseph’s house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.

15 Oo Yuusufna wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxan aad samayseen waa maxay? Miyaydnaan ogayn ninkii anoo kale ahu inuu faalin karo?

“What is this deed you have done?” Joseph declared. “Do you not know that a man like me can surely divine the truth?”

16 Markaasaa Yahuudah ku yidhi, Maxaannu kuugu jawaabnaa, sayidkaygiiyow? Oo maxaannu ku hadalnaa? Ama sidee baannu ku eed baxnaa? Ilaah waa soo saaray dembigayagii annagoo ah addoommadaada; bal eeg, sayidkaygiiyow, waxaannu nahay addoommadaada, annaga iyo kii gacantiisa koobka laga helayba.

“What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “How can we plead? How can we justify ourselves? God has exposed the iniquity of your servants. We are now my lord’s slaves—both we and the one who was found with the cup.”

17 Markaasuu yidhi, Yaanay noqon inaan saas yeelo. Ninkii gacantiisa koobka laga helay ayaa addoon ii noqon doona; laakiinse idinku kaca oo nabdoonaan aabbihiin ugu taga.

But Joseph replied, “Far be it from me to do this. The man who was found with the cup will be my slave. The rest of you may return to your father in peace.”

18 Markaasaa Yahuudah u soo dhowaaday oo ku yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, anigoo addoonkaaga ah waxaan kaa baryayaa inaan hadal yar kugula hadlo, sayidkaygiiyow, oo ha ii cadhoon anigoo ah addoonkaaga; waayo, waxaad la mid tahay sida Fircoon oo kale.

Then Judah approached Joseph and said, “Sir, please let your servant speak personally to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, for you are equal to Pharaoh himself.

19 Sayidkaygiiyow, annagoo ah addoommadaada, ayaad wax na weyddiisay oo nagu tidhi, Aabbe ama walaal ma leedihiin?

My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’

20 Oo annaguna waxaannu kugu nidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, waxaannu leennahay aabbe duq ah, iyo wiil yar oo uu dhalay markuu gaboobay, oo walaalkiisna waa dhintay, oo keligiis baa ka hadhay bahdoodii, aabbihiisna waa jecel yahay isaga.

And we answered, ‘We have an elderly father and a younger brother, the child of his old age. The boy’s brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’

21 Oo adigu waxaad nagu tidhi, annagoo ah addoommadaada, Bal ii keena isaga, aan indhahayga saaree.

Then you told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can see him for myself.’

22 Oo annaguna waxaannu kugu nidhi, sayidkaygiiyow, Yarku aabbihiis kama tegi karo; waayo, hadduu ka tago aabbihiis, de markaas aabbihiis waa dhiman lahaa.

So we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’

23 Oo adna waxaad nagu tidhi, annagoo ah addoommadaada, Haddii uusan walaalkiinnii idiinku yaraa idin soo raacin, wejigayga mar dambe ma aad arki doontaan.

But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your younger brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’

24 Oo markii aannu u tagnay aabbahay oo addoonkaaga ah, ayaannu isaga u sheegnay hadalladaadii, sayidkaygiiyow.

Now when we returned to your servant my father, we relayed your words to him.

25 Oo aabbahayo wuxuu nagu yidhi, Orda haddana oo wuxoogaa yar oo cunto ah inoo soo iibiya.

Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us some food.’

26 Oo waxaannu ku nidhi, Ma tegi karno. Haddiise walaalkayaga noogu yaru na raaco, markaasaannu dhaadhici doonnaa; waayo, ma aannu arki karno ninkii wejigiisa, haddii uusan walaalkayaga noogu yaru nala jirin.

But we answered, ‘We cannot go down there unless our younger brother goes with us. So if our younger brother is not with us, we cannot see the man.’

27 Markaasaa addoonkaagii aabbahay ahaa wuxuu nagu yidhi, Waad og tihiin in naagtaydu ii dhashay laba wiil;

And your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

28 oo uu midkood iga baxay, oo waxaan idhi, Hubaal cadcad baa loo kala jeexjeexay, tan iyo waagaasna ma aanan arkin isagii.

When one of them was gone, I said: “Surely he has been torn to pieces.” And I have not seen him since.

29 Oo haddaad kanna iga kaxaysataan, oo belaayo ku dhacdo isaga, de markaas cirradayda caloolxumaad qabriga la gelin doontaan. (Sheol h7585)

Now if you also take this one from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’ (Sheol h7585)

30 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed markii aan u tago aabbahay oo addoonkaagii ah, haddii uusan wiilku nala jirin, de naftiisu waxay ku xidhan tahay nafta wiilka,

So if the boy is not with us when I return to your servant, and if my father, whose life is wrapped up in the boy’s life,

31 oo wuu dhiman doonaa markuu arko inuusan yarkii nala jirin; oo annagoo ah addoommadaada ayaannu aabbahayaga addoonkaaga ah cirradiisa caloolxumo qabriga la gelin doonnaa. (Sheol h7585)

sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

32 Waayo, anigoo addoonkaaga ah ayaa aabbahay dammiin uga noqday wiilka, oo waxaan ku idhi, Haddaan kuu keeni waayo, xaggaaga eeddu ha iga saarnaato weligay, Aabbahayow.

Indeed, your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’

33 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, waan ku baryayaaye, aniga oo ah addoonkaagii, aan wiilka meeshiisii kuu joogo oo aan addoon kuu noqdo, sayidkaygiiyow; wiilkuna walaalihiis ha iska raaco.

Now please let your servant stay here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy. Let him return with his brothers.

34 Waayo, sidee baan aabbahay ugu tegi doonaa iyadoo aan yarku ila jirin? Maba tegi karo waaba intaasoo aan arkaa hoogga aabbahay ku dhici doona.

For how can I go back to my father without the boy? I could not bear to see the misery that would overwhelm him.”
