¹Markaasuu amray wakiilkii gurigiisa, oo ku yidhi, Nimanka joonyadahooda cunto uga buuxi, in alla intay qaadi karaan, nin walba lacagtiisana joonyaddiisa afkeeda ugu rid.

¹He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.

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

²Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

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

³As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

⁴Oo 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 abaal guddeen?

⁴When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?

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

⁵Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”

⁶Kolkaasuu gaadhay, oo uu hadalkan kula hadlay.

⁶He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.

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

⁷They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

⁸Bal 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?

⁸Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?

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

⁹With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondservants.”

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

¹⁰He said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my bondservant; and you will be blameless.”

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

¹¹Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

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

¹²He searched, beginning with the eldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

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

¹³Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

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

¹⁴Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

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

¹⁵Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?”

¹⁶Markaasaa 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.

¹⁶Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”

¹⁷Markaasuu yidhi, Yaanay noqon inaan saas yeelo. Ninkii gacantiisa koobka laga helay ayaa addoon ii noqon doona; laakiinse idinku kaca oo nabdoonaan aabbihiin ugu taga.

¹⁷He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my bondservant; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”

¹⁸Markaasaa 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.

¹⁸Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.

¹⁹Sayidkaygiiyow, annagoo ah addoommadaada, ayaad wax na weyddiisay oo nagu tidhi, Aabbe ama walaal ma leedihiin?

¹⁹My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’

²⁰Oo 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.

²⁰We said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’

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

²¹You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’

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

²²We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

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

²³You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’

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

²⁴It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

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

²⁵Our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food.’

²⁶Oo 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.

²⁶We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’

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

²⁷Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons:

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

²⁸and the one went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces”; and I haven’t seen him since.

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

²⁹If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .’

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

³⁰Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;

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

³¹it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

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

³²For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

³³Haddaba 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.Waayo, sidee baan aabbahay ugu tegi doonaa iyadoo aan yarku ila jirin? Maba tegi karo waaba intaasoo aan arkaa hoogga aabbahay ku dhici doona.

³³Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

³⁴Waayo, sidee baan aabbahay ugu tegi doonaa iyadoo aan yarku ila jirin? Maba tegi karo waaba intaasoo aan arkaa hoogga aabbahay ku dhici doona.

³⁴For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
