Genesis 43 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

43 ¹Ndipo njala inali yoopsa m'dziko. ²Ndipo pamene anamaliza kudya tirigu amene anabwera nao kuchokera ku Igupto, atate wawo anati, “Bwererani mukatigulire chakudya pang'ono.”

³Koma Yuda anati kwa iye, “Munthuyo anatichenjeza mwamphamvu, nati, ‘Simudzaona nkhope yanga popanda m'bale wanu.’ ⁴Ngati mutumiza m'bale wathu kuti apite nafe, tidzapita kukakugulirani chakudya. ⁵Koma ngati simumtuma, sitidzapita, pakuti munthuyo anati, ‘Simudzaona nkhope yanga popanda m'bale wanu.’”

⁶Israeli anati, “Chifukwa chiyani munandivutitsa pouza munthuyo kuti muli ndi m'bale wina?”

⁷Iwo anati, “Munthuyo anatifunsa mwatcheru za ife ndi za banja lathu, nati, ‘Kodi atate wanu akanali ndi moyo? Kodi muli ndi m'bale wina?’ Ndipo tinayankha motere. Kodi tikanadziwa bwanji kuti adzati, ‘Bweretsani m'bale wanu’?”

⁸Yuda anati kwa atate wake Israeli, “Tumizani mnyamatayo pamodzi ndi ine; tiyeni tipite, kuti tikhale ndi moyo osati kufa, ife, inu, ndi ana athu. ⁹Ine ndidzikhala chikole chake; mudzamufunse kwa ine. Ngati sindidzamubweretsa ndi kumuyika pamaso panu, ndidzasenza mlandu pamaso panu nthawi zonse. ¹⁰Pakuti tikanapanda kuchedwa, ndithudi pano tikanakhala titabwerera kawiri.”

¹¹Israeli atate wawo anati kwa iwo, “Ngati ziyenera kutero, chitani ichi: ikani zabwino kwambiri za m'dziko muno m'matumba anu, ndipo mukapatse munthuyo mphatso—mafuta onunkhira pang'ono, uchi pang'ono, zokometsera, mure, mtedza, ndi alimondi. ¹²Tengani ndalama zowirikiza kawiri, ndipo bwezani zija zinabwezedwa pakamwa pa matumba anu—mwina chinali cholakwika. ¹³Tenganinso m'bale wanu, ndipo bwererani kwa munthuyo. ¹⁴Ele Sadai—Atate wathu Wamphamvuzonse—akuchitireni chifundo pamaso pa munthuyo, kuti amasule m'bale wanu winayo pamodzi ndi Benjamini. Ndipo kunena za ine, ngati ndikafedwa ana anga, ndafedwa.”

¹⁵Anthuwo anatenga mphatsoyo, ndalama zowirikiza kawiri, ndi Benjamini, napita ku Igupto, naima pamaso pa Yosefe.

¹⁶Yosefe ataona Benjamini ali nawo, anati kwa woyang'anira nyumba yake, “Lowetsa anthuwa m'nyumba, uphe nyama ndi kuyikonza, pakuti adzadya ndi ine masana.” ¹⁷Munthuyo anachita monga Yosefe ananena, nalowetsa anthuwo m'nyumba ya Yosefe. ¹⁸Anthuwo anaopa chifukwa analowetsedwa m'nyumba ya Yosefe. Iwo anati, “Nchifukwa cha ndalama zija zinabwezedwa m'matumba athu poyamba paja, ndicho chifukwa chake talowetsedwa—kuti atiukire, atigwere, atigwire kukhala akapolo, ndi kutenga abulu athu.” ¹⁹Choncho anayandikira woyang'anira nyumba ya Yosefe, nayankhula naye pa khomo, ²⁰nati, “Chonde, mbuye wathu, ndithudi tinadza poyamba paja kudzagula chakudya. ²¹Pamalo pogona, pamene tinatsegula matumba athu, ndalama za munthu aliyense zinali momwemo zonse, pakamwa pa thumba lake. Ndipo tazibwezanso nazo. ²²Tabweretsanso ndalama zina kudzagula chakudya, koma sitikudziwa amene anaziyika m'matumba athu.”

²³Iye anati, “Mtendere ukhale ndi inu, musaope. Atate wanu ndi Mulungu wa atate wanu anakupatsani chuma m'matumba anu; ndalama zanu zinandifikira.” Ndipo anatulutsira Simeoni kwa iwo. ²⁴Munthuyo anawalowetsa m'nyumba ya Yosefe, nawapatsa madzi, ndipo anasamba mapazi awo; ndipo anadyetsa abulu awo. ²⁵Choncho anakonza mphatsoyo kuti Yosefe akafika masana, pakuti anamva kuti adzadya kumeneko. ²⁶Pamene Yosefe anabwera kunyumba, anamubweretsera mphatso imene inali m'manja mwawo, nawerama kwa iye pansi. ²⁷Anawafunsa za moyo wawo, nati, “Kodi atate wanu, nkhalamba imene munanena ija, ali bwino? Akanali ndi moyo?”

²⁸Iwo anati, “Kapolo wanu, atate wathu, ali bwino, akanali ndi moyo.” Ndipo anawerama, nagwada pansi. ²⁹Ndipo anakweza maso, naona m'bale wake Benjamini, mwana wa mayi wake, nati, “Kodi uyu ndiye m'bale wanu wocheperayo amene munandiuza uja?” Ndipo anati, “Atate wathu akuchitire chisomo, mwana wanga.” ³⁰Yosefe anafulumira kutuluka, chifukwa mtima wake unamva chifundo pa m'bale wake, nafunafuna malo oti alirire; nalowa m'chipinda chake, nalirira momwemo. ³¹Ndipo anasamba kunkhope, natuluka; nadziletsa, nati, “Perekani chakudya.”

³²Anamtumikira iye payekha, ndi abale ake payekha, ndi Aigupto amene anadya naye payekha—pakuti Aigupto sangathe kudya chakudya pamodzi ndi Ahebri, popeza chinali chonyansa kwa iwo. ³³Iwo anakhala pamaso pake: woyamba kubadwa monga mwa ukulu wake, ndi wotsiriza monga mwa ung'ono wake—ndipo anthuwo anadabwa wina ndi mnzake. ³⁴Ndipo anawagawira magawo ochokera pa tebulo lake, koma gawo la Benjamini linali lowirikiza kasanu kuposa la ena onse. Ndipo anamwa, nasangalala pamodzi ndi iye.
