< Mose 1 37 >
1 Ale Yakob gatso aƒe ɖe Kanaan, afi si fofoa nɔ la.
Jakobho akagara munyika yakanga yambogarwa nababa vake, iyo nyika yeKenani.
2 Esiae nye Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋutinya. Fifia Yakob ƒe vi Yosef xɔ ƒe wuiadre. Eya kple fofoviawo, ame siwo nye fofoa srɔ̃wo Bilha kple Zilpa ƒe viwo ƒe dɔe nye be woakpɔ wo fofo ƒe lãwo dzi. Yosef gblɔa nu madzemadze siwo nɔviawo wɔna la na wo fofo.
Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yaJakobho. Josefa jaya ramakore gumi namanomwe, akanga achifudza makwai pamwe chete namadzikoma ake, vanakomana vaBhiriha navanakomana vaZiripa, vakadzi vababa vake, uye akauya namashoko akaipa kuna baba vavo pamusoro pavo.
3 Israel lɔ̃ Yosef wu via bubuawo, elabena wodzi Yosef nɛ esime wònye amegãɖeɖi. Ale gbe ɖeka Yakob tɔ awu ʋlaya nyui aɖe nɛ.
Zvino Israeri akanga achida Josefa kupfuura vamwe vavanakomana vake, nokuti akanga aberekwa panguva youtana hwake; uye akamuitira nguo yakaisvonaka.
4 Yosef nɔviwo de dzesi lɔlɔ̃ tɔxɛ si wo fofo tsɔ nɛ la, eya ta wolé fui, eye womeƒoa nu nɛ kple nɔvilɔlɔ̃ ƒe gbe o.
Madzikoma ake akati aona kuti baba vavo vaimuda kupfuura ani zvake pakati pavo, vakamuvenga uye vakasagona kutaura naye mashoko akanaka.
5 Gbe ɖeka la, Yosef ku drɔ̃e, eye wòlĩi na nɔviawo. Nu sia gadzi nɔviawo ƒe fuléle ɖe edzi!
Josefa akarota hope, uye paakaudza madzikoma ake izvozvo, vakanyanya kumuvenga.
6 Egblɔ be, “Miɖo to miase nye drɔ̃e la ɖa.
Akati kwavari, “Inzwai hope dzandakarota idzi:
7 Míeyi ɖanɔ mɔlu blam le gbedzi; tete nye mɔlu babla tsi tsitre, eye mia tɔwo katã va ƒo xlãe, eye wode ta agu nɛ.”
Takanga tichisunga zvisote zvezviyo kumunda onei pakarepo chisote changu chakasimuka chikamira chakati twi, asi zvisote zvenyu zvakaungana zvakapoteredza changu uye zvikakotama kwachiri.”
8 Nɔviawo gblɔ nɛ fewuɖutɔe be, “Ekema ɖe nèdi be yeazu fia ɖe mía dzia?” Ale wogalé fui ɖe edzi wu le eƒe drɔ̃e la kple eƒe nyawo ta.
Madzikoma ake akati kwaari, “Ko, iwe unoda kutitonga here? Ko, zvirokwazvo uchatitonga here iwe?” Uye vakanyanyisa kumuvenga nokuda kwokurota kwake uye nokuda kwezvaakanga ataura.
9 Yosef gaku drɔ̃e bubu, eye wògalĩi na nɔviawo be, “Mise nye drɔ̃e si megaku la ɖa. Ɣe, ɣleti kple ɣletivi wuiɖekɛ de ta agu nam!”
Ipapo akarotazve dzimwe hope, uye akadzitaura kumadzikoma ake. Akati, “Inzwai, ndarota dzimwe hope, uye panguva iyi zuva nomwedzi nenyeredzi gumi neimwe zvanga zvichindipfugamira.”
10 Azɔ ya la, elĩ drɔ̃e la na fofoa kple nɔviawo siaa, ke fofoa ka mo nɛ hebiae be, “Drɔ̃e ka tɔgbie nye esia? Ɖe nye kple dawò kple nɔviwòwo míava de ta agu na wò gbe ɖekaa?”
Paakaudza baba vake pamwe chete namadzikoma ake, baba vake vakamutsiura vakati, “Kurotai kwawakaita uku? Ko, mai vako neni namadzikoma ako tichauya kuzokupfugamira here iwe zvirokwazvo?”
11 Nɔviawo ʋã ŋui ɖe edzi wu, gake fofoa ya de ŋugble le nya la ŋuti.
Madzikoma ake akamuitira godo, asi baba vake vakazvichengeta mumwoyo mavo.
12 Gbe ɖaka la, Yosef nɔviwo kplɔ wo fofo ƒe alẽwo yi gbedzi le Sekem.
Zvino madzikoma ake akanga abuda kundofudza makwai ababa vavo pedyo neShekemu,
13 Israel gblɔ na Yosef be, “Abe ale si nènyae ene la, nɔviwòwo le alẽawo dzi kpɔm le teƒe si te ɖe Sekem ŋu. Va madɔ wò ɖe nɔviwòwo gbɔ.” Yosef ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo.”
uye Israeri akati kuna Josefa, “Sezvaunoziva, madzikoma ako ari kufudza makwai pedyo neShekemu. Uya, ndikutume kwavari.” Iye akati, “Zvakanaka.”
14 Ale wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàkpɔe ɖa be nu sia nu le edzi yim nyuie na nɔviwòwo kple woƒe lãwo hã, eye nàva gblɔe nam.” Ale wòɖoe ɖa le Hebron ƒe Balime. Esime Yosef ɖo Sekem la,
Saka akati kwaari, “Enda undoona kana zvinhu zvakanaka kumadzikoma ako nezvipfuwo, ugodzoka kwandiri neshoko.” Ipapo akamutuma achibva napaMupata weHebhuroni. Josefa akati asvika kuShekemu,
15 ŋutsu aɖe kpɔe le gbea dzi, eye wòbiae be, “Ame ka dim nèle?”
mumwe murume akamuwana achidzungaira musango akamubvunza akati, “Uri kutsvakeiko?”
16 Yosef ɖo eŋu be, “Nɔvinyewo kple woƒe alẽwo dim mele; èkpɔ wo nama?”
Akapindura akati, “Ndiri kutsvaka madzikoma angu. Mungandiudzawo kwavanofudzira makwai avo here?”
17 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, womegale afi sia o; mese nɔviwòwo nɔ gbɔgblɔm be yewoayi Dotan.” Ale Yosef dze wo yome yi Dotan, eye wòkpɔ wo le afi ma.
Murume uya akati, “Vabva pano, ndavanzwa vachiti, ‘Ngatiendei kuDhotani.’” Saka Josefa akatevera madzikoma ake akandovawana pedyo neDhotani.
18 Ke esi wògbɔna la, wodze sii tso adzɔge ke, eye woɖo be yewoawui!
Asi vakamuona achiri kure, asati asvika kwavari, vakarangana kumuuraya.
19 Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Drɔ̃ekula ma gbɔna ɖaa!
Vakataurirana vachiti, “Hoyo muroti uya ouya!
20 Mina míawui atsɔ eƒe ŋutilã aƒu gbe ɖe vudo siawo dometɔ ɖeka me, eye míagblɔ be lã wɔadã aɖee vuvui. Ekema míakpɔ nu si ado tso eƒe drɔ̃ekuku la me ɖa.”
Uyai zvino timuuraye tigomukanda mune rimwe ramatsime aya tigoti akadyiwa nechikara. Ipapo tichazoona zvinobva pakurota kwake.”
21 Esi Ruben se nya sia la, edze agbagba be yeaɖee tso woƒe asi me. Egblɔ be, “Migana míawui o.
Rubheni akati anzwa izvi, akaedza kumununura kubva mumaoko avo. Akati, “Ngatiregei kumuuraya.
22 Migakɔ ʋu aɖeke ɖi o. Midae ɖe vudo sia me le gbegbe la, gake migade asi eŋu o.” Ruben gblɔ nya sia be yeaɖee tso woƒe asi me, eye yeakplɔe ayi na fofoa.
Regai kuteura ropa. Mukandei mutsime iri muno mugwenga, asi regai kutambanudza maoko enyu paari.” Rubheni akareva izvozvi kuti amununure kwavari uye kuti agomudzosera kuna baba vake.
23 Eya ta esi Yosef ɖo nɔviawo gbɔ la, woɖe eƒe awu ʋlaya la le eŋu,
Saka Josefa akati asvika kumadzikoma ake, vakamubvisa nguo yake, iyo nguo iya yakanga yakaisvonaka, yaiva nemavara-mavara yaakanga akapfeka,
24 eye wolée da ɖe vudo aɖe si me tsi menɔ o la me.
uye vakamutora vakamukanda mutsime. Zvino tsime rakanga rapwa risina mvura.
25 Wonɔ anyi, ɖu nu; kasia wokpɔ kposɔ aɖewo le didiƒe gbɔna wo gbɔ. Wonye Ismaeletɔ asitsala siwo tso Gilead la, eye wotsɔ aŋe, lifi kple kotoklobo yina ɖe Egipte.
Pavakagara kuti vadye zvokudya zvavo, vakasimudza meso avo vakaona ngoro dzavaIshumaeri dzichibva kuGireadhi. Ngamera dzavo dzakanga dzakatakura zvinonhuhwira, bharimu nemura, uye vakanga vachienda nazvo kuIjipiti.
26 Yuda gblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Viɖe ka míakpɔ ne míewu mía nɔvi, eye míetsyɔ nu eƒe ʋu dzi?
Judha akati kuhama dzake, “Tichawaneiko kana tikauraya mununʼuna wedu tikafushira ropa rake?
27 “Mina míadzrae na Ismaeletɔwo, eye míade asi eŋu o, elabena mía nɔviŋutsue; míawo ŋutɔ míaƒe ŋutilã kple ʋue.” Nɔviawo lɔ̃ ɖe edzi.
Uyai, ngatimutengesei kuvaIshumaeri ava tirege kutambanudza maoko edu paari; pamusoro pezvo iye mununʼuna wedu, nyama yedu neropa redu.” Madzikoma ake akatenderana.
28 Ale esi Midiansitsalawo va ɖo wo gbɔ la, woɖe Yosef le vudo la me, dzrae na Ismaeletɔwo klosalo blaeve, eye wokplɔe yi Egipte.
Saka vashambadziri veMidhiani vakati vasvika, madzikoma ake akabudisa Josefa kubva mutsime vakamutengesa kuvaIshumaeri namashekeri makumi maviri esirivha, ivo vakaenda naye kuIjipiti.
29 Ruben menɔ anyi hafi nɔviawo dzra Yosef o. Emegbe esi wòtrɔ gbɔ la, eyi be yeaɖe Yosef le vudo la me, ke esi wòkpɔ be Yosef megale vudoa me o la, evee ŋutɔ, eye wòdze eƒe awuwo.
Rubheni paakadzokera kutsime uye akawana Josefa asisimo akabvarura nguo dzake.
30 Efa avi hegblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Ɖevi la megale vudo la me o; ke afi ka nye ya mayi fifia?”
Akadzokerazve kuvanunʼuna vake akati, “Mukomana haasisimo! Zvino ndichaendepiko?”
31 Nɔviawo wu gbɔ̃ aɖe, eye wotsɔ Yosef ƒe awuwo bliba ɖe gbɔ̃ la ƒe ʋu me.
Ipapo vakatora nguo yaJosefa, vakauraya mbudzi ndokunyika nguo iya muropa.
32 Wotsɔ awu la yi na wo fofo be wòakpɔ ɖa be ame ka tɔe mahã. Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míekpɔ awu sia le gbedzi. Yosef tɔe loo alo menye etɔe oa?”
Vakatora nguo iya yakaisvonaka vakaenda nayo kuna baba vavo vakati, “Takanonga ichi. Cherechedzai muone kana ingava nguo yomwanakomana wenyu here.”
33 Wo fofo kpɔe dze sii enumake. Efa avi gblɔ be, “Ɛ̃, vinye ƒe awue. Lã wɔadã aɖee lée; eme kɔ ƒãa be lã wɔadã aɖe vuvu Yosef.”
Akaiziva akati, “Inguo yomwanakomana wangu! Zvimwe zvikara zvesango zvamudya. Zvirokwazvo Josefa akabvamburwa-bvamburwa.”
34 Israel dze eƒe awuwo, ta akpanya, eye wòfa konyi le via ƒe ku ta kɔsiɖa geɖewo.
Ipapo Jakobho akabvarura nguo dzake, akapfeka nguo dzamasaga akachema mwanakomana wake kwamazuva mazhinji.
35 Ƒometɔwo katã dze agbagba be yewoafa akɔ nɛ do kpoe. Egblɔna be, “Medi be maku le vinye la fafa me,” eye wògawoa avi hehehe! (Sheol )
Vanakomana vake navanasikana vake vose vakauya kuzomunyaradza, asi akaramba kunyaradzwa. Akati, “Kwete, ndichaburuka kuguva ndichichema mwanakomana wangu.” Saka baba vake vakamuchema. (Sheol )
