1 Yosef tsɔ eɖokui ƒu fofoa ƒe kukua dzi, fa avi ɖe edzi, eye wògbugbɔ nu nɛ.
Josefa akazviwisira pamusoro pababa vake akachema pamusoro pavo uye akavatsvoda.
2 Emegbe la, eɖe gbe na eƒe atikewɔlawo be woasi atike na ye fofo Israel. Ale atikewɔlawo si atike nɛ.
Ipapo Josefa akarayira varapi vaimushandira kuti vasasike baba vake Israeri. Saka varapi vakamusasika,
3 Atikesisi la xɔ ŋkeke blaene, eye Egipte dukɔ blibo la ƒe konyifafa xɔ ŋkeke blaadre.
vakapedza mazuva makumi mana azere, nokuti ndiyo yakanga iri nguva yaidikanwa yokusasika mutumbi. Uye vaIjipiti vakamuchema kwamazuva makumi manomwe.
4 Esi konyifaɣi la va yi la, Yosef te ɖe Farao ŋumewo ŋu, eye wòɖe kuku na wo be woaƒo nu na Farao na ye.
Mazuva okuchema akati apera, Josefa akati kune veimba yaFaro, “Kana ndawana nyasha pamberi penyu, nditaurireiwo kuna Faro. Mumuudze kuti,
5 Egblɔ na wo be, “Migblɔ na fia la be Yosef fofo na Yosef ka atam be yeatsɔ ye fofo ƒe kukua ayi Kanaanyigba dzi, eye yeaɖii ɖe afi ma. Mibia mɔfiala nam be wòaɖe mɔ mayi aɖaɖi fofonye. Mika ɖe edzi nɛ nam be matrɔ agbɔ enumake.”
‘Baba vangu vakaita kuti ndipike mhiko uye vakati, “Ini ndava kufa; mundivige muguva randakazvicherera munyika yeKenani.” Zvino regai hangu ndikwidze ndinoviga baba vangu; ipapo ndigozodzoka hangu.’”
6 Farao lɔ̃ hegblɔ be, “Yi nàɖi fofowò abe ale si nèka atam ene.”
Faro akati, “Kwira hako undoviga baba vako, sezvo vakaita kuti upikire kuita izvozvo.”
7 Ale Yosef yi kple Farao ƒe aɖaŋudelawo kple kpeɖeŋutɔwo
Saka Josefa akakwidza kundoviga baba vake. Varanda vose vaFaro vakamuperekedza, vanokudzwa vomumba make navose vanokudzwa vomuIjipiti,
8 kple Yosef nɔviŋutsuwo kple woƒe ƒometɔwo. Ke wogblẽ wo vi suewo kple woƒe lãwo ɖe Gosenyigba dzi.
tisingaverengi vose vomumhuri yaJosefa namadzikoma ake uye navose veimba yababa vake. Vana vavo chete namakwai avo nemombe dzavo, ndivo vakasiyiwa muGosheni.
9 Ale tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdola geɖewo kpakple ameha gã aɖe kplɔ Yosef yii.
Ngoro navatasvi vamabhiza vakaendawo naye. Rakanga riri boka guru kwazvo.
10 Esi woɖo Atad, teƒe si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, eye wòte ɖe Yeriko ŋu la, wode kusɔleme, eye wofa konyi ŋkeke adre sɔŋ le Yakob ƒe ku ta.
Vakati vasvika paburiro raAtadhi, pedyo neJorodhani, vakachema zvikuru neshungu; uye ipapo Josefa akatara mazuva manomwe okuchema baba vake.
11 Kanaantɔwo na ŋkɔ bubuteƒe si le afi si te ɖe Yɔdan ŋu la be, Abel Mizraim si gɔmee nye “Konyifalawo tso Egipte,” elabena wogblɔ be, “Teƒe sia Egiptetɔwo fa konyi le vevie.”
VaKenani vaigara ikoko vakati vachiona kuchema ikoko paburiro raAtadhi, vakati, “VaIjipita vari pakuchema kukuru.” Ndokusaka nzvimbo iyo iri pedyo neJorodhani yakatumidzwa zita rokuti Abheri Miziraimi.
12 Ale Yakob ƒe viwo wɔ nu siwo wòɖo na wo la.
Saka vanakomana vaJakobho vakaita sezvaakavarayira:
13 Wotsɔe yi Kanaanyigba dzi, eye woɖii ɖe kpeto si le Makpela ƒe anyigba dzi si te ɖe Mamre ŋu, abɔ si Abraham ƒle le Efrɔn, Hititɔ la si be wòanye ameɖiƒe la me.
Vakamutakura vakaenda naye kunyika yeKenani uye vakamuviga mubako mumunda weMakapera, pedyo neMamure, rakatengwa naAbhurahama senzvimbo yokuviga kubva kuna Efuroni muHiti, pamwe chete nomunda wacho.
14 Yosef trɔ va Egipte kple nɔviawo kpakple ame siwo katã yi wo fofo ƒe kuteƒe la.
Shure kwokuvigwa kwababa vake, Josefa akadzokera kuIjipiti, pamwe chete namadzikoma ake navamwe vose vakanga vaenda naye kundoviga baba vake.
15 Ke esi wo fofo ku azɔ la, Yosef nɔviwo de asi vɔvɔ̃ me. Wogblɔ be, “Azɔ la, Yosef aɖo nu vɔ̃ si míewɔ ɖe eŋu la teƒe na mí.”
Madzikoma aJosefa akati aona kuti baba vavo vakanga vafa, vakati, “Zvimwe Josefa angadaro achiri kutivenga uye akatitsiva pane zvakaipa zvose zvatakaita kwaari?”
16 Ale woɖo ame ɖe Yosef be, “Fofowò gblẽ ɖoɖo siawo ɖi hafi ku.
Saka vakatuma shoko kwaari vakati, “Baba vako vakasiya varayira vasati vafa vachiti:
17 ‘Nya si miagblɔ na Yosef lae nye: Mebia tso asiwò be nàtsɔ nɔviwòwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ kple vodada siwo wowɔ ɖe ŋuwò la ake wo.’ Azɔ míeɖe kuku, tsɔ nu vɔ̃ ke fofowò ƒe Mawu la ƒe dɔlawo.” Esi nya siawo va ɖo Yosef gbɔ la, efa avi.
‘Izvi ndizvo zvamunofanira kutaura kuna Josefa: Ndinokumbira kuti ukanganwire madzikoma ako zvivi zvavo nezvitadzo zvavakaita pavakakuitira zvakaipa kwazvo. Zvino ndapota kanganwira hako zvivi zvavaranda vaMwari wababa vako.’” Pakasvika shoko ravo kwaari, Josefa akachema.
18 Tete nɔviawo va dze klo, de ta agu nɛ, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míenye wò kluviwo.”
Ipapo madzikoma ake akauya akazviwisira pasi pamberi pake. Vakati, “Tiri varanda venyu.”
19 Ke Yosef gblɔ na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o, Mawue menye be madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi, ahe to na mia?
Asi Josefa akati kwavari, “Musatya. Ko, ini ndiri pachinzvimbo chaMwari here?
20 Le nye ɖeka gome la, Mawu trɔ nu si mieɖo be wòanye nu vɔ̃ la wòzu nu nyui, elabena etsɔm ɖo teƒe kɔkɔ si mele egbe la be mate ŋu aɖe ame geɖewo ƒe agbe.
Imi makafunga kundiitira zvakaipa, asi Mwari akafunga kuita zvakanaka kuti apedzise zviri kuitwa iye zvino, iko kuponeswa kwemweya mizhinji.
21 Migavɔ̃ o, nye ŋutɔ makpɔ miawo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo dzi.” Eƒo nu na wo kple gbe bɔbɔe, eye wòde dzi ƒo na wo.
Naizvozvo zvino, musatya. Ndichakuriritirai imi navana venyu.” Akavasimbaradza uye akataura nounyoro kwavari.
22 Ale Yosef kple nɔviawo kpakple woƒe ƒometɔwo ganɔ Egipte. Yosef xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka kple ewo hafi ku.
Josefa akagara muIjipiti pamwe chete nemhuri yose yababa vake. Akararama kwamakore zana negumi,
23 Enɔ agbe, kpɔ via Efraim ƒe viwo kple Makir, Manase ƒe vi ƒe viwo, ame siwo fena le Yosef ƒe afɔ nu.
uye akaona vana vaEfuremu vorudzi rwechitatu. Uyewo vana vaMakiri mwanakomana waManase vakaiswa pamakumbo aJosefa pavakaberekwa.
24 Yosef gblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Esusɔ vie maku, ke Mawu ava aɖe mi tso Egiptenyigba sia dzi, eye wòakplɔ mi, miatrɔ ayi anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo la dzi.”
Ipapo Josefa akati kumadzikoma ake, “Ini ndava kuzofa. Asi zvirokwazvo Mwari achakubatsirai nokukubudisai munyika muno achikuendesai kunyika yakavimbiswa nemhiko kuna Abhurahama, Isaka naJakobho.”
25 Emegbe Yosef na Israel ƒe viwo ka atam nɛ be, “Mawu akpe ɖe mia ŋu be miatsɔ nye kukua tso afi sia ayi Kanaan.”
Uye Josefa akaita kuti vanakomana vaIsraeri vapike mhiko uye akati, “Zvirokwazvo Mwari achakubatsirai, uye ipapo munofanira kutakura mapfupa angu kubva munzvimbo ino.”
26 Ale Yosef ku esi wòxɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka kple ewo. Wosi atike na eƒe kukua, eye wodee aɖaka me le Egipte.
Saka Josefa akafa ava namakore zana negumi. Uye shure kwokumusasika, akaiswa mubhokisi muIjipiti.
