¹Abaartuna dalka aad bay ugu xumayd.

¹And the famine was grievous in the land.

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

²And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.

³Markaasaa 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.

³And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.

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

⁴If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;

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

⁵but if thou do not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.

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

⁶And Israel said, Why did ye deal [so] ill with me [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?

⁷Markaasay 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?

⁷And they said, The man asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down?

⁸Markaasaa 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.

⁸And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.

⁹Anigaa 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,

⁹I will be surety for him: of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thy face, then shall I be guilty toward thee for ever.

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

¹⁰For had we not lingered, we should now certainly have returned already twice.

¹¹Markaasaa 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;

¹¹And their father Israel said to them, If it is then so, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a gift: a little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almonds.

¹²gacantiinnana lacag labanlaab ah ku qaada, oo lacagtii joonyadihiinna afkooda lagu soo celiyeyna haddana gacantiinna ku qaada, waayo, mindhaa waa la soo qaldamay.

¹²And take other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight.

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

¹³And take your brother, and arise, go again to the man.

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

¹⁴And the Almighty ùGod give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin! And I, if I be bereaved of children, am bereaved.

¹⁵Markaasaa nimankii waxay qaadeen hadiyaddii, lacag labanlaab ahna gacantooday ku qaadeen, Benyaamiinna way kaxeeyeen, wayna kaceen oo Masar tageen, oo waxay hor istaageen Yuusuf.

¹⁵And the men took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and came before Joseph.

¹⁶Oo 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.

¹⁶And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and said to the [man] who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat with me at noon.

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

¹⁷And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

¹⁸Nimankiina 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.

¹⁸And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

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

¹⁹And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,

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

²⁰and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy food.

²¹oo 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.

²¹And it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, [every] man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.

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

²²And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.

²³Isna 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.

²³And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon out to them.

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

²⁴And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses food.

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

²⁵And they made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.

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

²⁶When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

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

²⁷And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well -- the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?

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

²⁸And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed, and made obeisance.

²⁹Markaasuu 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.

²⁹And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son!

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

³⁰And Joseph made haste, for his bowels burned for his brother; and he sought [a place] to weep, and he went into the chamber, and wept there.

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

³¹And he washed his face, and came out, and controlled himself, and said, Set on bread.

³²Markaasay 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.

³²And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

³³Oo 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.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.

³³And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one at another.

³⁴Markaasaa 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.

³⁴And he had portions carried to them from before him. And Benjamin's portion was five times greater than the portions of them all. And they drank, and made merry with him.
