ZAJP
Usufu kamulagiza mtumigwa mkulu wa ng'anda yake, yomulongela, “Memeza magunia ga wanhu wano vakuja bwando kamba vowodaha kupapa na ika hela ya kila munhu hamulomo wa gunia jake.
BSB
BSB:
Then Joseph instructed his steward: “Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each one’s silver in the mouth of his sack.
2
ZAJP
Ika kikasi changu cha feza mdigunia da ija ikizuwanda wao hamoja na hela zake ziyezile nazo kugula vakuja.” Na heyo katenda kamba Usufu viyamulagize.
BSB
BSB:
Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed.
3
ZAJP
Imitondo ng'hani wandugu zake Usufu walekigwa wachole na zao hamoja na mhunda zao.
BSB
BSB:
At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.
4
ZAJP
Viwakalile hawanavika kutali na idiwambo, Usufu kamulongela mtumigwa wake, “Genda ukawakweleleze waja iwanhu na uhawavika walongele, ‘Habali mulihile gehile kwa ganogile?
BSB
BSB:
They had not gone far from the city when Joseph told his steward, “Pursue the men at once, and when you overtake them, ask, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?
5
ZAJP
Habali mwibile kikasi cha feza cha mndewa wangu? Kino sio kikasi chayang'wilaga mndewa wangu na kutendela uhokozi? Mtenda mbuli ihile ng'hani.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
Is this not the cup my master drinks from and uses for divination? What you have done is wicked!’”
6
ZAJP
Ija imtumigwa viyawavikile, kawalongela vivija viyamulongele Usufu.
BSB
BSB:
When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.
7
ZAJP
Wamulongela, “Habali mndewa wangu yolonga mbuli kamba ino? Mbuli ino na iwe kutali na tweye watumigwa zako, sambitutende mbuli kamba ino!
BSB
BSB:
“Why does my lord say these things?” they asked. “Your servants could not possibly do such a thing.
8
ZAJP
Hata hela zituvikile mmilomo ya magunia getu kuja Kanaani tukubwezela, avo habali twibe madini ga feza ama zahabu kulawa mng'anda ya mndewa wako?
BSB
BSB:
We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found in the mouths of our sacks. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?
9
ZAJP
Kamba imwe wa watumigwa zako yahavikwa nacho nayadanganhike, na tweye wose na tuwe nyakadala wa mndewa wangu.”
BSB
BSB:
If any of your servants is found to have it, he must die, and the rest will become slaves of my lord.”
10
ZAJP
Na heyo kawalongela, “Vinoga, na iwe kamba vuulongile. Ila ija yondayavikigwe nacho kowa nyakadala wangu, na mweye mose msigale mochola na zenu.”
BSB
BSB:
“As you say,” replied the steward. “But only the one who is found with the cup will be my slave, and the rest of you shall be free of blame.”
11
ZAJP
Avo kila munhu mmwanza wao hima kahumulusa gunia jake hasi na kudifungula.
BSB
BSB:
So each one quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.
12
ZAJP
Abaho ija imtumigwa wa Usufu kasonga kusakula, kasonga gunia da imkulu wao na kumambukizila da imdodo. Na kija ikakasi kivikigwa mdigunia da Benjamini.
BSB
BSB:
The steward searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest—and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
13
ZAJP
Waja iwakulu zake wasigale viwonile vija, wadega vivalo vao mkona bwembwe, abaho wakweleza magunia gao mmhunda zao na kubweleganya mdiwambo.
BSB
BSB:
Then they all tore their clothes, loaded their donkeys, and returned to the city.
14
ZAJP
Usufu kakala yang'hali mng'anda kipigiti Yuda na wandugu zake viwakalile wobweleganya, waibwanha hasi haulongozi wake,
BSB
BSB:
When Judah and his brothers arrived at Joseph’s house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.
15
ZAJP
Usufu kawalongela, “Habali mtendile vino? Ham'vitangile kamba munhu kamba nie nodaha kuvumbula vinhu mkulolesa?”
BSB
BSB:
“What is this deed you have done?” Joseph declared. “Do you not know that a man like me can surely divine the truth?”
16
ZAJP
Yuda kalonga, “Tulonge choni kumwako, mndewa, todahaze kuwatenda wanhu watutogole kamba tweye sio wavwizi? Mulungu kavigubula vilozo vetu. Tweye tose twa nyakadala zako, sio ija tu yavikigwe na ikikasi.”
BSB
BSB:
“What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “How can we plead? How can we justify ourselves? God has exposed the iniquity of your servants. We are now my lord’s slaves—both we and the one who was found with the cup.”
17
ZAJP
Usufu kalonga, “Si vivo! Mbuli ino na iwe kutali na nie, sambinitende mbuli kamba ino. Ija tu yavikigwe na ikikasi iyo yondayawe nyakadala wangu. Mweye msigale gendeni ukae ha tataenu mditindiwalo.”
BSB
BSB:
But Joseph replied, “Far be it from me to do this. The man who was found with the cup will be my slave. The rest of you may return to your father in peace.”
18
ZAJP
Yuda kamcholela Usufu na kulonga, “Chonde, mndewa wangu, nileke nie mtumigwa wako nikulongele mbuli imwe gweye mndewa wangu, sambiunyonele lusango kwavija gweye kwa kamba Falao mwenyego.
BSB
BSB:
Then Judah approached Joseph and said, “Sir, please let your servant speak personally to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, for you are equal to Pharaoh himself.
19
ZAJP
Mndewa, gweye kukala utuuzile ulonga, ‘Mweye muna tata ama ndugu iyagwe?’
BSB
BSB:
My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
20
ZAJP
Na tweye tukwidika, tulonga, ‘Tweye tuna tata m'vyele ng'hani na mdodo wetu mzuwanda yavumbuke muuvyele wake. Mkulu wake kadanganhika, na heyo iyo mwana yeiyeka yasigale mmwanza wa wana wa mamaake, na tataake kamnogela ng'hani.’
BSB
BSB:
And we answered, ‘We have an elderly father and a younger brother, the child of his old age. The boy’s brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’
21
ZAJP
Abaho kutulongela tumgale hano kumwako umone na meso gako,
BSB
BSB:
Then you told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can see him for myself.’
22
ZAJP
na tweye tukulongela, ‘Havidahika mwana ija kusegela ha tataake, kamba yahasegela, tataake kodanganhika.’
BSB
BSB:
So we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’
23
ZAJP
Na gweye kulonga, ‘Kamba hamwizile na mdodo wenu hano, hamuchona kabili kihanga changu.’
BSB
BSB:
But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your younger brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’
24
ZAJP
“Vitubwelile ha mtumigwa wako, ayo yali tataangu, tumulongela gaja gaulongele, mndewa wangu.
BSB
BSB:
Now when we returned to your servant my father, we relayed your words to him.
25
ZAJP
Na tataetu viyatulongele, ‘Gendeni kabili mkatugulile mandia,’
BSB
BSB:
Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us some food.’
26
ZAJP
tumulongela, ‘Hatuchola, ila kamba mdodo wetu imzuwanda yahachola hamoja na tweye basi tochola, kwavija hatuchona kihanga cha ija imunhu mbaka mdodo wetu imzuwanda yachole hamoja na tweye.’
BSB
BSB:
But we answered, ‘We cannot go down there unless our younger brother goes with us. So if our younger brother is not with us, we cannot see the man.’
27
ZAJP
Abaho mtumigwa wako ayo yali tataangu katulongela, ‘M'vitanga kamba mwehe wangu kandelela nie wana wabili wa kimbigalo.
BSB
BSB:
And your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
28
ZAJP
Imwe kapotela, na nie nilonga, “Kadegigwa vidangavidanga na mng'onyo.” Na sinamona songela kipigiti kija.
BSB
BSB:
When one of them was gone, I said: “Surely he has been torn to pieces.” And I have not seen him since.
29
ZAJP
Na kamba muhamsola na ino, gaham'vika gehile na uvyele uno unilinao, mong'homa na giogio.’
BSB
BSB:
Now if you also take this one from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’
30
ZAJP
“Avo kamba tuhabwela ukae ha mtumigwa wako ayo yali tataangu bila mwana ino kuwa hamoja na tweye, na avija ugima wake vuuifungile hamoja na ugima wa mwana ino,
BSB
BSB:
So if the boy is not with us when I return to your servant, and if my father, whose life is wrapped up in the boy’s life,
31
ZAJP
yahona kamba imwana hali hamoja na tweye, kodanganhika, avo tweye watumigwa zako tomkoma na giogio tataetu m'vyele.
BSB
BSB:
sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow.
32
ZAJP
Kwavija nie mtumigwa wako iyo nisolile zamana ha tataangu nilonga, ‘kamba sim'bwezile kumwako, nie iyo yondaniipape mbuli ino muugima wangu wose.’
BSB
BSB:
Indeed, your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’
33
ZAJP
Avo nileke nie mtumigwa wako nisigale hano kamba nyakadala wako nisole hanhu ha mwana ino, giladi umuleke ino imwana yabwele ukae na wakulu zake.
BSB
BSB:
Now please let your servant stay here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy. Let him return with his brothers.
34
ZAJP
Kwavija nodahaze kubwela ukae ha tataangu kamba ino imwana hali hamoja na nie? Nodumba kona mgayo wondaumpate tataangu.”
BSB
BSB:
For how can I go back to my father without the boy? I could not bear to see the misery that would overwhelm him.”
