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.

Joseph ordered his household supervisor, “Fill the men's sacks with as much grain as they can hold and put each man's money at the top 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.

Then put my special silver cup at the top of the sack of the youngest, along with the money for his grain.” He did as Joseph told him.

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

At sunrise they 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 hardly left the city when Joseph told his household supervisor, “Go after those men, and when you catch up with them, ask them, ‘Why have you paid back good with evil by stealing my master's silver cup?

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

This is the cup he personally drinks from, and which he uses for divination. What you've done is really evil!’”

6 Kolkaasuu gaadhay, oo uu hadalkan kula hadlay.

When he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had said.

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

“My lord, what are you saying?” they replied. “We your servants wouldn't do anything like that!

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?

Remember that we brought back the money we found at the top of our sacks when we returned from Canaan. 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 one of us is found with it, he shall die, and all of us will become your slaves.”

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

“Whatever you say,” the man replied, “but only the one found with it will become my slave since the rest of you will be free of any blame.”

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

They all unloaded their sacks and put them on the ground. They each opened their own sacks.

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 household supervisor searched the sacks, beginning with the oldest and working his way down to the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

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

The brothers tore their clothes in grief. Then they loaded their sacks back on their donkeys and headed back to the city.

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

Joseph was still at home when Judah and his brothers arrived, 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?

“Why did you do this?” Joseph asked. “Don't you know a man like me can find out things through divination?”

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.

“My lord, what can we say?” Judah replied. “How can we explain this to you? In what way can we prove our innocence? God has exposed the guilt of your servants. My lord, we are your slaves—all of us, including 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.

“I wouldn't do anything like that!” Joseph replied. “Only the man who was found with the cup will become my slave. The rest of you are free to return to your father.”

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.

Judah came closer and said to him, “If you please, my lord, let your servant just say a word. Please don't become angry with your servant, even though you are as powerful as Pharaoh himself.

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

My lord, previously you asked us, ‘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.

We told you, my lord, ‘We have an elderly father, and a younger brother, born when our father was already old. The boy's brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother's children left, and his father loves him dearly.’

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

Then you ordered us, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see him.’

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

We told you, ‘The boy can't leave his father; if he did, 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 told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn't come with you, you won't see me again.’

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

So when we went back to your servant, our father, we explained to him everything you had told us.

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

However, later on, our father told us, ‘Go back and buy some more 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 said, ‘There's no way we can go back unless Benjamin our youngest brother goes with us, because we won't be able to see the man if Benjamin isn't with us.’

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

Then my father said to us, ‘You realize that my wife had two sons for me.

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

One is no more, ripped to pieces no doubt, for I've never seen him since.

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

If you take this one away from me too, and something bad happens to him, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.’ (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 isn't with us when I go back to my father, whose life depends on the life of the boy,

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)

as soon as he sees the boy isn't there he'll die, and we will really send this old man, our father, to his grave in grief. (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.

In fact I gave myself as the guarantee for the boy to my father. I told him, ‘If I don't bring him back to you, then I will always carry the blame!’

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.

So please let me stay here as my lord's slave instead of the boy. Let him go back home 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 could I ever go back to my father if the boy wasn't with me? I couldn't stand seeing the anguish that would cause my father.”
