1 M arkaasuu 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 told the man who took care of his house, “Fill the men’s bags with as much food as they can carry. And put each man’s money in his bag.

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

Put my silver cup in the bag of the youngest, with his money for the grain.” And he did what Joseph had told him to do.

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

Early in the morning the men were sent away with their donkeys.

4 O o 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?

When they had left the city and were not far away, Joseph said to the man who took care of his house, “Get up and follow the men. When you come to them, say to them, ‘Why have you returned bad for good? Why have you stolen the silver cup?

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

Is this not my lord’s drinking cup that he uses for telling about the future? You have done wrong.’”

6 K olkaasuu gaadhay, oo uu hadalkan kula hadlay.

So he came to them and spoke these words to them.

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

And they said to him, “Why does my lord say these things? Your servants would never do such a thing.

8 B al 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 how we returned to you from the land of Canaan with the money we found in the top of our bags. Why then would we steal silver or gold from your owner’s house?

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

If the cup is found with any of your servants, let him be put to death. And the others of us will be your servants.”

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

He answered, “Let it be as you say. He who is found to have the cup will be my servant. But you others will be without blame.”

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

Then each man put his bag down on the ground in a hurry and opened it.

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

The man looked for it, beginning with the oldest and stopping with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin’s bag.

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

Then they tore their clothes. After each man loaded his donkey again, they returned to the city.

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

When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, he was still there. They fell to the ground in front of him.

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

Joseph said to them, “What is this that you have done? Did you not know that a man like me has power to know what is not known by others?”

16 M arkaasaa 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.

Judah said, “We do not know what to say to my lord. How can we make ourselves right in your eyes? God has shown the guilt of your servants. See, we are your servants, both we and the one who was found with the cup.”

17 M arkaasuu 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 said, “No. I will do no such thing. The person who was found with the cup will be my servant. But you others may go in peace to your father.”

18 M arkaasaa 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 came near to him, and said, “O my lord, let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears. Do not be angry with your servant. For you are like Pharaoh himself.

19 S ayidkaygiiyow, 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 O o 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 said to my lord, ‘We have an old father and a young brother who was born to him when he was old. Now his brother is dead. So he is all that is left of his mother, and his father loves him.’

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

Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him here to me, so I may see him.’

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

But we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. For if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

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

Then you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes here with you, you will not see my face again.’

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

“When we returned to your servant my father, we told him what my lord had said.

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

Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’

26 O o 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, ‘We cannot go there. If our youngest brother is with us, we will go there. For we cannot see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’

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

“Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife gave birth to two of my sons.

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

One left me, and I said, “For sure he is torn to pieces.” I have not seen him since.

29 O o haddaad kanna iga kaxaysataan, oo belaayo ku dhacdo isaga, de markaas cirradayda caloolxumaad qabriga la gelin doontaan.

If you take this one also from me, and something happens to him, you will bring my white hair down to the grave in sorrow.’

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

My father’s life and the boy’s life are one. If I return to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us,

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

when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. So your servants will bring the white hair of your servant our father down to the grave in sorrow.

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

For I put myself as trust for the boy to my father. I said, ‘If I do not return him to you, then let the blame be on me forever.’

33 H addaba 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 let your servant stay and work for my lord, instead of the boy. Let the boy go home with his brothers.

34 W aayo, 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 return to my father if the boy is not with me? I am afraid to see the sorrow that my father would suffer.”
