Bilowgii 43

1 Abaartuna dalka aad bay ugu xumayd.

In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all the land.

2 Oo markii ay wada cuneen hadhuudhkii ay Masar ka keeneen ayaa aabbahood ku yidhi, Bal taga haddana, oo cunto yar inoo soo iibiya.

And when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again and buy us a little food.

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.

Juda answered: The man declared unto us with the attestation of an oath, saying: You shall not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.

4 Haddaad walaalkayo na raacisid, waannu dhaadhacaynaa oo cuntaannu kuu soo iibinaynaa,

If therefore thou wilt send him with us, we will set out together, and will buy necessaries for thee.

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 thou wilt not, we will not go: for the man, as we have often said, declared unto us, saying: You shall not see my face without your youngest brother.

6 Markaasaa Israa'iil wuxuu yidhi, Maxaad sida xun iigula macaamilooteen, oo aad ninka ugu sheegteen inaad walaal kale leedihiin?

Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery in that you told him you had also another 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?

But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you?

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.

And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish.

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 take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.

10 waayo, haddaannan raagin, hubaal hadda mar labaad waannu soo noqon lahayn.

If delay had not been made, we had been here again the second time.

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 Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, myrrh, turpentine, 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.

And take with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake.

13 Walaalkiinna kaxeeya, oo kaca, oo bal haddana ninkii u taga,

And take also your brother, and go to the 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.

And may my almighty God make him favourable to you; and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children.

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 presents, and double money, and Benjamin: and went down into Egypt, and stood before 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.

And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon.

17 Markaasaa ninkii yeelay wixii Yuusuf ku amray; oo ninkii wuxuu nimankii soo geliyey gurigii Yuusuf.

He did as he was commanded, and brought the men into the 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.

And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses.

19 Markaasay waxay u soo dhowaadeen wakiilkii guriga Yuusuf, oo waxay isagii kula hadleen albaabkii guriga,

Wherefore going up to the steward of the house, at the door,

20 waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidkayagiiyow, markii hore waxaannu u soo dhaadhacnay inaannu cunto iibsanno,

They said: Sir, we desire thee to hear us: We came down once before to buy food:

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.

And when we had bought, and come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight.

22 Oo lacag kale oo aannu cunto ku iibsannona waan la soo dhaadhacnay. Annagu garan mayno kii lacagtayadii ku riday joonyadahayagii.

And we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags.

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.

But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them.

24 Oo ninkii baa nimankii soo geliyey gurigii Yuusuf, oo biyo siiyey, kolkaasay cagamaydheen. Dameerradoodiina cuntuu siiyey.

And having brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.

25 Markaasay diyaariyeen hadiyaddii intuusan Yuusuf duhurkii iman; waayo, waxay maqleen inay halkaas wax ka cuni doonaan.

But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there.

26 Oo markii Yuusuf gurigii yimid ayay gurigii ugu keeneen hadiyaddii gacantooda ku jirtay, markaasay u wada sujuudeen oo wejiga dhulka saareen.

Then Joseph came into his house, and they offered him the presents holding them in their hands, and they bowed down with their face to the ground.

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?

But he, courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living?

28 Markaasay yidhaahdeen, Addoonkaagii aabbahayo ahaa waa ladan yahay, welina wuu nool yahay. Kolkaasay madaxa foororiyeen, oo ay u sujuudeen.

And they answered: Thy servant our father is in health, he is yet living. And bowing themselves they made obeisance to 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.

And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin his brother, by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, my son.

30 Markaasuu Yuusuf dhaqsaday, oo goobtay meel uu ku ooyo, waayo, walaalkiis buu u beernuglaaday oo wuxuu galay qowladdiisii, oo halkaasuu ku ooyay.

And he made haste because his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: and going into his chamber he wept.

31 Kolkaasuu intuu fooldhaqday soo baxay; oo intuu adkaystay ayuu wuxuu yidhi, Cunto noo soo dhiga.

And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table.

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.

And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him, apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane):

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.

They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his age. And they wondered very much:

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.

Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry with him.
