ZAJP
Nzala muisi ya Kanaani ikala mpamanho.
BSB
BSB:
Now the famine was still severe in the land.
2
ZAJP
Avo viwamambukize kuja mandia gose gawagalile kulawa Misili, tataao kawalongela, “Bweleganyeni Misili mkatugulile kabili mandia.”
BSB
BSB:
So when Jacob’s sons had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”
3
ZAJP
Ila Yuda kamulongela, “Ija imunhu katulongela mkuiduila yolonga, ‘Kamba hamwizile na mdodo wenu, hamchona kihanga changu kabili.’
BSB
BSB:
But Judah replied, “The man solemnly warned us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’
4
ZAJP
Kamba uhamuleka Benjamini yachole na tweye Misili, tochola kukugulila mandia,
BSB
BSB:
If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you.
5
ZAJP
ila kamba uhamgomesa, na tweye hatuchola kwavija ija imunhu katulongela, kamba hatucholile na mdodo wetu, hatuchona kihanga chake kabili.”
BSB
BSB:
But if you will not send him, we will not go; for the man told us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’”
6
ZAJP
Yakobo kalonga, “Habali mngalile mgayo uno mkumulongela ayo imunhu kamba muna mdodo iyagwe?”
BSB
BSB:
“Why did you bring this trouble upon me?” Israel asked. “Why did you tell the man you had another brother?”
7
ZAJP
Wamulongela, “Ija imunhu kakala yotuuzagiza ng'hani, tweye wenyego na mulango wetu, yolonga, ‘Tata wenu yang'hali mgima? Mweye muna mdodo iyagwe?’ Na tweye tumwidika gaja gayakalile youza. Tuhavimanyileze kamba kokwiza kulonga, ‘Mgaleni mdodo wenu hano’?”
BSB
BSB:
They replied, “The man questioned us in detail about ourselves and our family: ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ And we answered him accordingly. How could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother here’?”
8
ZAJP
Abaho Yuda kamulongela Yakobo tataake, “Muleke imwana hamoja na nie tuchole hima, giladi gweye na tweye na wanetu sambitufe nzala.
BSB
BSB:
And Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and we will go at once, so that we may live and not die—neither we, nor you, nor our children.
9
ZAJP
Nie mwenyego iyo zamana wa ugima wake. Kamba habwelile, unigoge nie. Kamba sim'bwezile kumwako na kumwika haulongozi wako, mbuli ino noipapa nie milongo yose.
BSB
BSB:
I will guarantee his safety. You may hold me personally responsible. If I do not bring him back and set him before you, then may I bear the guilt before you all my life.
10
ZAJP
Kamba tuhalekile kukawa, mkipigiti kino tuhabweleganye Misili mianza mibili.”
BSB
BSB:
If we had not delayed, we could have come and gone twice by now.”
11
ZAJP
Yakobo tataao kawalongela, “Kamba mbuli zenyego vivo zili, basi tendeni vino, soleni vinhu vinogile va muisi ino vigeleni m'bahasha zenu mumgalile ija imunhu kamba nhunza, soleni zeli kidogo, uki kidogo, ubane, manemane, jozi, na kungu.
BSB
BSB:
Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and carry them down as a gift for the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.
12
ZAJP
Vivija soleni hela mianza mibili ya zija zimcholile nazo haichanduso, kwavija molondigwa m'bweze zija zihela zim'bwezeligwe na kwikigwa mmilomo ya magunia genu, siku wakala wahonyele.
BSB
BSB:
Take double the silver with you so that you may return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake.
13
ZAJP
Msoleni na ndugu yenu mchole nayo hima ha ija imunhu.
BSB
BSB:
Take your brother as well, and return to the man at once.
14
ZAJP
Na Mulungu Mwene Mhiko yamtende ija imunhu yawonele mweye bazi, giladi yamulekese ndugu yenu Simioni na Benjamini wabwele hamoja na mweye. Ila kamba nihawagiza wanangu, basi.”
BSB
BSB:
May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother along with Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
15
ZAJP
Avo waja iwandugu wasola zinhunza na mianza mibili ya zihela za ichanduso wachola Misili hamoja na Benjamini. Wavika Misili na kwima haulongozi wa Usufu.
BSB
BSB:
So the men took these gifts, along with double the amount of silver, and Benjamin as well. Then they hurried down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
16
ZAJP
Usufu viyamonile Benjamini ka hamoja na hewo, kamulongela mtumigwa wa ng'anda yake, “Wasole wanhu wano uwagale kung'anda yangu, chinja mng'onyo na uteleke mandia, kwavija wolondigwa kuja mandia hamoja na nie imisi ya lelo.”
BSB
BSB:
When Joseph saw Benjamin with his brothers, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for they shall dine with me at noon.”
17
ZAJP
Ija imtumigwa katenda kamba Usufu viyamulongele, kawasola waja iwanhu na kuwagala kung'anda ya Usufu.
BSB
BSB:
The man did as Joseph had commanded and took the brothers to Joseph’s house.
18
ZAJP
Viwakalile wogaligwa kung'anda ya Usufu, wakala wodumba ng'hani, wakala wogelegeza wolonga, “Tugaligwa kuno sama ya zija zihela zibwezigwe mmagunia getu mwanza wa ichanduso. Wolonda watuvamhile, na kutuhuma na kututenda tuwe nyakadala na kuwasola mhunda zetu.”
BSB
BSB:
But the brothers were frightened that they had been taken to Joseph’s house. “We have been brought here because of the silver that was returned in our bags the first time,” they said. “They intend to overpower us and take us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”
19
ZAJP
Viwavikile halwivi lwa ing'anda ya Usufu, wamcholela ija imtumigwa wa ng'anda ya Usufu,
BSB
BSB:
So they approached Joseph’s steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.
20
ZAJP
wamulongela, “Chonde, mndewa, tweye tukala twizile hano mwanza wa ichanduso kugula mandia.
BSB
BSB:
“Please, sir,” they said, “we really did come down here the first time to buy food.
21
ZAJP
Ila kilo vikingile twima na vitufungule magunia getu, kila munhu kavika hela yake kiasi kikija hamulomo wa gunia jake. Avo tuzibweza.
BSB
BSB:
But when we came to the place we lodged for the night, we opened our sacks and, behold, each of us found his silver in the mouth of his sack! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.
22
ZAJP
Vivija twiza na hela ziyagwe za kugula mandia. Hatummanyile yekile hela zetu mmagunia getu.”
BSB
BSB:
We have brought additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.”
23
ZAJP
Ija imtumigwa kawalongela, “Sambimdumbe, Mulungu wenu, Mulungu wa tataenu, kawagwelela hela mmagunia genu. Ila zija zihela zimgulile mandia haichanduso nie nizibokela.” Abaho kamulava Simioni na kumgala kuwakalile hewo.
BSB
BSB:
“It is fine,” said the steward. “Do not be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, gave you the treasure that was in your sacks. I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
24
ZAJP
Ija imtumigwa kawasola waja iwanhu na kuwengiza mng'anda ya Usufu, kawagwaa mazi ga kugela magulu gao na kuwagwelela mandia mhunda zao.
BSB
BSB:
And the steward took the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet, and provided food for their donkeys.
25
ZAJP
Wasasala nhunza zao sama ya Usufu vondayavike kipigiti cha imisi, kwavija wahulika kamba kokwiza kuja na hewo.
BSB
BSB:
Since the brothers had been told that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.
26
ZAJP
Usufu viyabwelile ukae, wamgwaa zija zinhunza ziwezile nazo mng'anda, wafugama mavindi, wainamila haulongozi wake mbaka hasi.
BSB
BSB:
When Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought, and they bowed to the ground before him.
27
ZAJP
Kawalamsa abaho kawauza, “Tataenu im'vyele ng'hani imunilongele mpile? Yang'hali mgima?”
BSB
BSB:
He asked if they were well, and then he asked, “How is your elderly father you told me about? Is he still alive?”
28
ZAJP
Wamulongela, “Tata wetu ayo yali mtumigwa wako yang'hali mgima na mpile.” Wafugama mavindi wainamila mbaka hasi haulongozi wake.
BSB
BSB:
“Your servant our father is well,” they answered. “He is still alive.” And they bowed down to honor him.
29
ZAJP
Abaho Usufu kamulola mdodo wake Benjamini, mwana wa mamaake, kauza, “Ino iyo mdodo wenu ikizuwanda imunilongele? Mulungu yakumoteze, mwanangu.”
BSB
BSB:
When Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” Then he declared, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”
30
ZAJP
Abaho Usufu kasegela hima kulawa haja kuno yokona chuhila, Usufu kalawa hanze na kuzahila hanhu ha kulilila. Kachola kugati dilibule munhu na kulila.
BSB
BSB:
Joseph hurried out because he was moved to tears for his brother, and he went to a private room to weep.
31
ZAJP
Viyamalile kunava kihanga chake, kalawa hanze na kaizuila sambiyalile, abaho kalonga, “Goleni gamandia.”
BSB
BSB:
Then he washed his face and came back out. Regaining his composure, he said, “Serve the meal.”
32
ZAJP
Waja wakalile wogola wamgolela Usufu yeiyeka hameza yake, na waja iwandugu zake wawagolela weiyeka hameza yao. Waja Iwamisili wakalile woja na Usufu wakala weiyeka hameza yao, kwavija Wamisili wakala hawaja hamoja na Waeblania sama ya ndagizi za nhamanila yao.
BSB
BSB:
They separately served Joseph, his brothers, and the Egyptians. They ate separately because the Egyptians would not eat with the Hebrews, since that was detestable to them.
33
ZAJP
Waja iwandugu zake Usufu wakala wakalile mumnhongo kulingana na vija viwavumbuke, songela waichanduso kuvumbuka mbaka waikimambukizo, wokiilola na Usufu. Wakiilola wenyego kwa wenyego kuno wokanganya.
BSB
BSB:
They were seated before Joseph in order by age, from the firstborn to the youngest, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.
34
ZAJP
Mandia gakala gogoligwa kulawa hameza ya Usufu, ila Benjamini kakala yagoleligwe mianza mitano ya vija viwagoleligwe wayagwe. Avo watenda lusona, wang'wa hamoja na heyo kamba viwalondile wenyego.
BSB
BSB:
When the portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times larger than any of the others. So they feasted and drank freely with Joseph.
