Mwanzo 44
1 Kisha Yosefu akampa yule msimamizi wa nyumbani mwake maagizo haya: “Jaza magunia ya watu hawa kiasi cha chakula ambacho wanaweza kuchukua, na uweke fedha ya kila mtu kwenye mdomo wa gunia lake.
and to command [obj] which upon house: home his to/for to say to fill [obj] sack [the] human food like/as as which be able [emph?] to lift: bear and to set: put silver: money man: anyone in/on/with lip sack his
2 Kisha weka kikombe changu kile cha fedha kwenye mdomo wa gunia la yule mdogo wa wote pamoja na fedha zake ambazo angenunulia nafaka yake.” Naye akafanya kama Yosefu alivyosema.
and [obj] cup my cup [the] silver: money to set: put in/on/with lip sack [the] small: young and [obj] silver: money grain his and to make: do like/as word Joseph which to speak: speak
3 Kulipopambazuka, hao watu wakaruhusiwa kuondoka pamoja na punda zao.
[the] morning to light and [the] human to send: depart they(masc.) and donkey their
4 Kabla hawajafika mbali kutoka mjini, Yosefu akamwambia mtumishi wake, “Wafuatilie wale watu mara moja, utakapowakuta, waambie, ‘Kwa nini mmelipiza wema kwa ubaya?
they(masc.) to come out: come [obj] [the] city not to remove and Joseph to say to/for which upon house: household his to arise: rise to pursue after [the] human and to overtake them and to say to(wards) them to/for what? to complete distress: evil underneath: instead welfare
5 Je, kikombe hiki sicho anachonywea bwana wangu na pia hukitumia kwa kutabiri mambo yajayo? Hili ni jambo ovu mlilolitenda.’”
not this which to drink lord my in/on/with him and he/she/it to divine to divine in/on/with him be evil which to make: do
6 Alipowafikia, akarudia maneno haya kwao.
and to overtake them and to speak: speak to(wards) them [obj] [the] word [the] these
7 Lakini wakamwambia mtumishi, “Kwa nini bwana wangu anasema maneno kama haya? Liwe mbali na watumishi wako wasije wakafanya jambo kama hilo!
and to say to(wards) him to/for what? to speak: speak lord my like/as Chronicles [the] these forbid to/for servant/slave your from to make: do like/as Chronicles [the] this
8 Hata hivyo tulikurudishia zile fedha kutoka nchi ya Kanaani ambazo tulizikuta kwenye midomo ya magunia yetu. Hivyo kwa nini tuibe fedha au dhahabu kutoka nyumbani kwa bwana wako?
look! silver: money which to find in/on/with lip sack our to return: return to(wards) you from land: country/planet Canaan and how? to steal from house: home lord your silver: money or gold
9 Ikiwa yeyote miongoni mwa watumishi wako atapatikana nacho, auawe, na sisi wengine tutakuwa watumwa wa bwana wangu.”
which to find with him from servant/slave your and to die and also we to be to/for lord my to/for servant/slave
10 Akajibu, “Vema sana; na iwe kama msemavyo. Yeyote atakayekutwa nacho atakuwa mtumwa wangu, lakini ninyi wengine mtakuwa hamna lawama.”
and to say also now like/as word: speaking your so he/she/it which to find with him to be to/for me servant/slave and you(m. p.) to be innocent
11 Kila mmoja wao akafanya haraka kushusha gunia lake chini na kulifungua.
and to hasten and to go down man: anyone [obj] sack his land: soil [to] and to open man: anyone sack his
12 Ndipo msimamizi akaendelea kutafuta, akianzia kwa mkubwa wa wote na akaishia kwa mdogo wa wote. Basi kikombe kikapatikana katika gunia la Benyamini.
and to search in/on/with great: old to profane/begin: begin and in/on/with small: young to end: finish and to find [the] cup in/on/with sack Benjamin
13 Kwa jambo hili, wakararua nguo zao. Ndipo wote wakapakiza mizigo yao juu ya punda zao na kurudi mjini.
and to tear mantle their and to lift man: anyone upon donkey his and to return: return [the] city [to]
14 Yosefu alikuwa bado yuko nyumbani mwake wakati Yuda na kaka zake walipoingia, wote wakajitupa chini mbele yake.
and to come (in): come Judah and brother: male-sibling his house: home [to] Joseph and he/she/it still he there and to fall: kill to/for face: before his land: soil [to]
15 Yosefu akawaambia, “Ni jambo gani hili mlilolifanya? Hamjui kuwa mtu kama mimi anaweza kufahamu mambo kwa njia ya kutabiri?”
and to say to/for them Joseph what? [the] deed [the] this which to make: do not to know for to divine to divine man which like me
16 Yuda akajibu, “Tutaweza kusema nini kwa bwana wangu? Tutaweza kuzungumza nini? Tutawezaje kuthibitisha kwamba hatuna hatia? Mungu amefunua hatia ya watumishi wako. Sasa sisi tu watumwa wa bwana wangu, sisi wenyewe pamoja na yule aliyepatikana na kikombe.”
and to say Judah what? to say to/for lord my what? to speak: speak and what? to justify [the] God to find [obj] iniquity: guilt servant/slave your look! we servant/slave to/for lord my also we also which to find [the] cup in/on/with hand his
17 Lakini Yosefu alisema, “Liwe mbali nami kufanya jambo kama hili! Mtu yule tu aliyekutwa na kikombe ndiye atakayekuwa mtumwa wangu. Ninyi wengine, rudini kwa baba yenu kwa amani.”
and to say forbid to/for me from to make: do this [the] man which to find [the] cup in/on/with hand his he/she/it to be to/for me servant/slave and you(m. p.) to ascend: rise to/for peace to(wards) father your
18 Ndipo Yuda akamwendea na kumwambia: “Tafadhali bwana wangu, mruhusu mtumishi wako aseme neno kwa bwana wangu. Usimkasirikie mtumishi wako, ingawa wewe ni sawa na Farao mwenyewe.
and to approach: approach to(wards) him Judah and to say please lord my to speak: speak please servant/slave your word in/on/with ear: to ears lord my and not to be incensed face: anger your in/on/with servant/slave your for like you like/as Pharaoh
19 Bwana wangu aliwauliza watumishi wake, ‘Mnaye baba au ndugu?’
lord my to ask [obj] servant/slave his to/for to say there to/for you father or brother: male-sibling
20 Nasi tukakujibu, ‘Tunaye baba yetu ambaye ni mzee; pia yupo mwanawe mdogo aliyezaliwa katika uzee wake. Ndugu yake amekufa, na huyu mdogo ndiye mwana pekee kwa mama yake aliyebaki, naye baba yake anampenda.’
and to say to(wards) lord my there to/for us father old and youth extreme age small and brother: male-sibling his to die and to remain he/she/it to/for alone him to/for mother his and father his to love: lover him
21 “Ndipo ulipowaambia watumishi wako, ‘Mleteni kwangu ili niweze kumwona kwa macho yangu mwenyewe.’
and to say to(wards) servant/slave your to go down him to(wards) me and to set: make eye my upon him
22 Nasi tukamwambia bwana wangu, ‘Kijana hawezi kumwacha baba yake; akimwacha, baba yake atakufa.’
and to say to(wards) lord my not be able [the] youth to/for to leave: forsake [obj] father his and to leave: forsake [obj] father his and to die
23 Lakini ukawaambia watumishi wako, ‘Ndugu yenu mdogo asiposhuka pamoja nanyi, hamtauona uso wangu tena.’
and to say to(wards) servant/slave your if: until not to go down brother: male-sibling your [the] small: young with you not to add: again [emph?] to/for to see: see face my
24 Tuliporudi nyumbani kwa mtumwa wako baba yangu, tulimwambia lile bwana wangu alilokuwa amesema.
and to be for to ascend: rise to(wards) servant/slave your father my and to tell to/for him [obj] word lord my
25 “Ndipo baba yetu aliposema, ‘Rudini Misri mkanunue chakula kingine.’
and to say father our to return: again to buy grain to/for us little food
26 Lakini tukamwambia, ‘Hatuwezi kushuka Misri mpaka ndugu yetu mdogo awe pamoja nasi ndipo tutakapokwenda. Hatutaweza kuuona uso wa yule mtu mpaka ndugu yetu mdogo awe pamoja nasi.’
and to say not be able to/for to go down if there brother: male-sibling our [the] small: young with us and to go down for not be able to/for to see: see face [the] man and brother: male-sibling our [the] small: young nothing he with us
27 “Mtumwa wako baba yangu alituambia, ‘Mnajua mke wangu alinizalia wana wawili.
and to say servant/slave your father my to(wards) us you(m. p.) to know for two to beget to/for me woman: wife my
28 Mmojawapo alipotea, nami nikasema, “Hakika ameraruliwa vipande vipande.” Nami sijamwona tangu wakati huo.
and to come out: come [the] one from with me and to say surely to tear to tear and not to see: see him till here/thus
29 Ikiwa mtaniondolea huyu tena na akapatwa na madhara, mtashusha kichwa changu chenye mvi kaburini nikiwa mwenye huzuni.’ (Sheol h7585)
and to take: take also [obj] this from from with face: before my and to meet him harm and to go down [obj] greyheaded my in/on/with distress: evil hell: Sheol [to] (Sheol h7585)
30 “Hivyo sasa, kama kijana hatakuwa pamoja nasi nitakaporudi kwa mtumishi wako baba yangu, na kama baba yangu, ambaye maisha yake yamefungamanishwa na uhai wa kijana huyu,
and now like/as to come (in): come I to(wards) servant/slave your father my and [the] youth nothing he with us and soul: life his to conspire in/on/with soul: life his
31 akiona kijana hayupo nasi, atakufa. Watumishi wako watashusha kichwa chenye mvi cha baba yetu kaburini kwa huzuni. (Sheol h7585)
and to be like/as to see: see he for nothing [the] youth and to die and to go down servant/slave your [obj] greyheaded servant/slave your father our in/on/with sorrow hell: Sheol [to] (Sheol h7585)
32 Mtumwa wako alimhakikishia baba yangu usalama wa kijana. Nikamwambia, ‘Kama sikumrudisha kwako nitakuwa mwenye lawama mbele yako, baba yangu, maisha yangu yote!’
for servant/slave your to pledge [obj] [the] youth from from with father my to/for to say if not to come (in): bring him to(wards) you and to sin to/for father my all [the] day
33 “Sasa basi, tafadhali mruhusu mtumishi abaki hapa kama mtumwa wa bwana wangu badala ya kijana, naye kijana umruhusu arudi na ndugu zake.
and now to dwell please servant/slave your underneath: instead [the] youth servant/slave to/for lord my and [the] youth to ascend: rise with brother: male-sibling his
34 Ninawezaje kurudi kwa baba yangu kama kijana hatakuwa pamoja nami? La hasha! Usiniache nikaone huzuni ile itakayompata baba yangu.”
for how? to ascend: rise to(wards) father my and [the] youth nothing he with me lest to see: see in/on/with bad: evil which to find [obj] father my
