Genesis 44 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

44 ¹Ndipo anati kwa woyang'anira nyumba yake, “Dzaza matumba a anthu ndi chakudya, monga mmene angathe kunyamulira, ndipo uyike siliva wa munthu aliyense pakamwa pa thumba lake. ²Uyike chikho changa, chikho cha siliva, pakamwa pa thumba la wamng'ono, pamodzi ndi ndalama zake za tirigu.” Ndipo anachita monga Yosefe ananena. ³Kutacha m'mawa, anthuwo anatumizidwa kupita ndi abulu awo. ⁴Atatuluka mu mzinda, asanapite patali, Yosefe anati kwa woyang'anira wake, “Thamangira anthuwo. Ukawapeza, ukawafunse kuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani mwabwezera choipa pa chabwino? ⁵Kodi ichi sichikho chimene mbuye wanga amamweramo ndi kuchigwiritsira ntchito powombeza? Chimene mwachita ndi choipa.’” ⁶Atawapeza, anawawuza mawu amenewa.

⁷Iwo anati, “Chifukwa chiyani mbuye wanga akunena zinthu zoterezi? Akapolo anu sangachite konse chinthu choterechi. ⁸Taonani, siliva amene tinampeza pakamwa pa matumba athu, tinakubwezerani kuchokera ku Kanani. Nanga tingabe bwanji siliva kapena golide kuchokera m'nyumba ya mbuye wanu? ⁹Aliyense wa akapolo anu amene chipezeke naye, afe, ndipo ifenso tidzakhala akapolo a mbuye wanga.”

¹⁰Iye anati, “Chabwino, zikhale monga mwaneneramo. Amene adzapezeke nacho adzakhala kapolo wanga; inu enanu mulibe mlandu.”

¹¹Ndipo munthu aliyense anatsitsa msanga thumba lake pansi, ndipo munthu aliyense anatsegula thumba lake. ¹²Iye anafufuza, kuyambira kwa wamkulu, kumaliza kwa wamng'ono—ndipo chikho chinapezeka mu thumba la Benjamini. ¹³Ndipo anang'amba zovala zawo, ndipo munthu aliyense anasenzetsa bulu wake, nabwerera ku mzinda.

¹⁴Yuda ndi abale ake atafika ku nyumba ya Yosefe, iye anali adakalipo, ndipo anagwa pansi pamaso pake. ¹⁵Yosefe anati kwa iwo, “Mwachita chiyani? Kodi simukudziwa kuti munthu wonga ine ndithudi amawombeza?”

¹⁶Yuda anati, “Kodi tinganene chiyani kwa mbuye wanga? Tingayankhule chiyani? Tingadzichotsere bwanji mlandu? Atate wathu wapeza kulakwa kwa akapolo anu. Taonani—ndife akapolo a mbuye wanga, ife pamodzi ndi amene chikho chapezeka m'manja mwake.” ^a a v16 Yuda akuzindikira dzanja la Atate wathu likuvumbula kulakwa kumene kunabisika nthawi yaitali kwa kugulitsa Yosefe — kuwakopa abalewo ku kulapa.

¹⁷Koma iye anati, “Ine sindingachite zimenezi. Munthu yekha amene chikho chapezeka m'manja mwake ndiye adzakhala kapolo wanga. Inu enanu, bwererani kwa atate wanu mu mtendere.”

¹⁸Ndipo Yuda anasendera pafupi nati, “Chonde, mbuye wanga, mulole kapolo wanu ayankhule mawu kwa inu. Musapsere mtima ndi kapolo wanu, pakuti inu muli ngati Farao mwiniwake.

¹⁹Mbuye wanga anafunsa akapolo ake, nati, ‘Kodi muli ndi atate kapena mbale?’ ²⁰Tinati kwa mbuye wanga, ‘Tili ndi atate wokalamba, ndi mwana wamng'ono wobadwa pa ukalamba wake. Mbale wake wamwalira; iye yekha ndiye watsalira wa ana a amayi ake, ndipo atate wake amamkonda.’ ²¹Ndipo inu munati kwa akapolo anu, ‘Mumtsitsire kwa ine kuti ndimuone ndekha.’ ²²Tinati kwa mbuye wanga, ‘Mnyamatayo sangathe kusiya atate wake, chifukwa akatero, atate wake adzafa.’ ²³Munati kwa akapolo anu, ‘Mbale wanu wamng'ono akapanda kudza nanu, simudzaonanso nkhope yanga.’ ²⁴Titabwerera kwa atate wanga, kapolo wanu, tinamuwuza zimene munanena. ²⁵Ndipo atate wathu atati, ‘Pitaninso, mukatigulire chakudya pang'ono,’ ²⁶tinati, ‘Sitingathe kutsika. Mbale wathu wamng'ono akadza nafe, pamenepo tidzapita. Pakuti sitingathe kuona nkhope ya munthuyo pokhapokha mbale wathu wamng'ono ali nafe.’ ²⁷Ndipo kapolo wanu atate wanga anati kwa ife, ‘Inu mukudziwa kuti mkazi wanga anandiberekera ana aamuna awiri. ²⁸Mmodzi anandichokera, ndipo ndinati, “Ndithudi wang'ambika”; sindinamuonenso kuyambira pamenepo. ²⁹Mukatenga uyunso kwa ine, ndipo zovuta zitamgwera, mudzatsitsa imvi zanga ku manda mu chisoni. ³⁰Choncho ndikadza kwa kapolo wanu, atate wanga, ndipo mnyamatayo kulibe nafe, pakuti moyo wake womangika ku moyo wa mnyamatayo, ³¹akaona kuti mnyamatayo kulibe, adzafa, ndipo akapolo anu adzatsitsa kapolo wanu atate wathu ku manda mu chisoni.’ ³²Pakuti kapolo wanu anadziyika chikole cha mnyamatayo kwa atate wanga, nati, ‘Ndikapanda kumubweza kwa inu, ndidzasenza mlandu pamaso pa atate wanga masiku onse a moyo wanga.’ ³³Tsono chonde, kapolo wanu akhale kapolo wa mbuye wanga m'malo mwa mnyamatayo, ndipo mnyamatayo abwerere pamodzi ndi abale ake. ^b b v33 Yuda akupereka moyo wake m'malo mwa Benjamini — kudzipereka koyamba m'Malemba kochitidwa ndi mwana wa Israeli. Yesu, Mkango wa fuko la Yuda, akukwaniritsa chitsanzo ichi potenga malo athu pa mtanda. ³⁴Ndingabwerere bwanji kwa atate wanga popanda mnyamatayo? Sindingathe kupirira kuona tsoka limene lingagwere atate wanga.”
