1 A baartuna dalka aad bay ugu xumayd.

The time of no food was hard in the land.

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

When they had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again and buy us a little food.”

3 M arkaasaa 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 told him, “The man said to us with sharp words, ‘You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.’

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

If you send our brother with us, we will go to Egypt and buy you food.

5 l aakiinse haddaadan isaga dirin, annagu dhaadhici mayno; waayo, ninkii wuxuu nagu yidhi, Wejigayga ma aad arki doontaan in walaalkiin idinla jiro mooyaane.

But if you do not send him, we will not go. For the man said, ‘You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.’”

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

Israel said, “Why did you do me such a wrong by telling the man that you had another brother?”

7 M arkaasay 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?

And they said, “The man asked questions about us and our family. He said, ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ So we answered his questions. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother here’?”

8 M arkaasaa 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.

Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me. And we will get up and go, so we and you and our children may live and not die.

9 A nigaa 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 will put myself as trust for him. You may put him in my care. If I do not return him to you and set him in front of you, then let the blame be on me forever.

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

For if we had not waited, we would have returned twice by now.”

11 M arkaasaa 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 Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the best things of the land in your bags. Carry them to the man as a gift. Give him perfume and honey and spices and special things to eat.

12 g acantiinnana 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 with you to take the place of the money that was returned in your bags. It may be that it was a mistake.

13 W alaalkiinna kaxeeya, oo kaca, oo bal haddana ninkii u taga,

Take your brother also. Get up, and return to the man.

14 o o Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu naxariis ha idinka siiyo ninka hortiisa, inuu idiin sii daayo walaalkiinnii kale iyo Benyaamiin. Oo haddaan carruurtayda ka gablamo, anaa gablamay.

May the All-powerful God give you such favor with the man that he may let your other brother and Benjamin return. If my children are taken from me, I am filled with sorrow.”

15 M arkaasaa 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 gift, and twice as much money, and Benjamin. They got up and went to Egypt, and stood in front of Joseph.

16 O o 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 took care of his house, “Bring the men into the house. And kill an animal and make it ready. For the men will eat with me at noon.”

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

So the man did what Joseph said, and brought the men to Joseph’s house.

18 N imankiina 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.

The men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph’s house. They said, “We are being brought in because of the money that was returned in our bags the first time we came. He is looking for something against us. He will come down on us and take us for servants with our donkeys.”

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

So they came near the man who took care of Joseph’s house, and spoke to him at the door of the house.

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

They said, “O, my lord, we came here the first time to buy food.

21 o o 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.

When we came to the place where we stayed the night, we opened our bags. And we found that the full weight of each man’s money was at the top of the bag. So we have brought it again with us.

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

We have brought other money with us also to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our bags.”

23 I sna 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. Do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you riches in your bags. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

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

The man brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water to wash their feet. And he fed their donkeys.

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

So they made the gift ready to give to Joseph when he came at noon. For they had heard that they were to eat there.

26 O o 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 gave him the gift they had brought with them. They bowed to the ground in front of him.

27 I sna markaasuu nabdaadiyey iyagii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ninkii duqa ahaa oo aad sheegteen oo aabbihiin ahaa ma ladan yahay? Weli miyuu nool yahay?

Then Joseph asked them about their well-being. He said, “Is your father well, the old man you spoke about? Is he still alive?”

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

And they said, “Your servant, our father is well. He is still alive.” Then they bowed their heads low in honor to Joseph.

29 M arkaasuu 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.

As he looked up, he saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son. He said, “Is this your youngest brother whom you told me about? May God show you loving-favor, my son.”

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

Then Joseph went out in a hurry. For he had much feeling for his brother. He went in his room and cried.

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

Then he washed his face and came out. Hiding his feelings, he said, “Bring the food.”

32 M arkaasay 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.

So they brought food to Joseph by himself, and to them by themselves, and to the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves. The Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews because they thought it would be sinful.

33 O o 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.

Joseph’s brothers were seated in front of him by the way they were born, from the oldest to the youngest. And the men looked at each other in wonder.

34 M arkaasaa 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.

Joseph took food to them from his own table. But Benjamin’s food was five times as much as any of theirs. And they were free in eating and drinking with him.
