Ɛberɛ a Yakob tee sɛ aburoo wɔ Misraim no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moatete agyinagyina rehwehwɛhwehwɛ mo ho mo ho anim yi?”
2 Agĩthiĩ na mbere akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjiguĩte atĩ Misiri kũrĩ na ngano. Ikũrũkai kuo mũgatũgũrĩre irio, nĩgeetha tũtũũre muoyo tũtigakue.”
Yakob toaa so sɛ, “Mate sɛ aburoo wɔ Misraim. Monkɔ hɔ, na monkɔtɔ bi mmra na ɛkɔm ankum yɛn.”
3 Nao ariũ ikũmi a ithe na Jusufu magĩikũrũka, magĩthiĩ kũgũra ngano Misiri.
Enti, Yosef nuammarima mpanimfoɔ edu no kɔɔ Misraim sɛ wɔrekɔtɔ aburoo no bi.
4 No Jakubu ndaatũmire Benjamini mũrũ wa nyina na Jusufu athiĩ na arĩa angĩ, tondũ nĩetigagĩra ndakone mũtino.
Nanso, Yakob amma Benyamin a ɔyɛ Yosef nua kumaa no ankɔ bi, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔsuro sɛ biribi bɛyɛ no.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ariũ a Isiraeli magĩthiĩ marĩ hamwe na arĩa angĩ maathiĩte kũgũra ngano Misiri, tondũ bũrũri wa Kaanani o naguo warĩ na ngʼaragu.

6 Na rĩrĩ, Jusufu nĩwe warĩ mwathi wa bũrũri wa Misiri na nĩwe wendagĩria andũ othe a bũrũri ngano. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa ariũ a ithe maakinyire kuo-rĩ, makĩmũinamĩrĩra, magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ.
Na Yosef yɛ amrado wɔ Misraim asase so. Ɔno na ɔtɔn aburoo ma nnipa nyinaa wɔ ɔman no mu. Yosef nuammarima no kɔduruu nʼanim no, wɔbuu no nkotodwe, de wɔn anim nso butubutuu fam.
7 Na rĩrĩa Jusufu onire ariũ a ithe, o ro rĩmwe akĩmamenya, no agĩĩtua ndamooĩ na akĩmaarĩria arĩ na ũũru, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mumĩte kũ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tuumĩte bũrũri wa Kaanani tũgooka kũgũra irio.”
Ɛberɛ a Yosef ani bɔɔ anuanom no so ara pɛ, ɔhunuu sɛ wɔyɛ ne nuanom, nanso ɔyɛɛ ne ho sɛdeɛ ɔnnim wɔn, kasaa anihanehane so kyerɛɛ wɔn. Ɔpoopoo nʼani, bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mofiri he?” Anuanom no buaa no sɛ, “Yɛfiri Kanaan asase so, na yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛtɔ aduane.”
8 O na gũtuĩka Jusufu nĩamenyire ariũ a ithe-rĩ, o matiigana kũmũmenya.
Ɛwom sɛ na Yosef ahunu wɔn sɛ ne nuanom, nanso ne nuanom no deɛ, na wɔnhunuu sɛ, ɔno ne Yosef.
9 Ningĩ akĩririkana irooto ciake iria aarootete imakoniĩ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũrĩ athigaani! Mũũkĩte kũrora bũrũri witũ kũrĩa ũtarĩ mũgitĩre.”
Yosef kaee daeɛ a mmerɛ bi ɔso faa wɔn ho no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Moyɛ akwansrafoɔ! Morebɛhwɛ sɛdeɛ ɛkɔm yi ama yɛn asase yi agyigya.”
10 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, mwathi witũ! Ndungata ciaku ciũkĩte o kũgũra irio tu.
Anuanom no teaam sɛ, “Dabi yɛn wura, ɛnte saa. Yɛbaeɛ sɛ yɛrebɛtɔ aduane.
11 Ithuĩ ithuothe tũrĩ ariũ a mũthuuri ũmwe. Ithuĩ ndungata ciaku tũrĩ andũ ehokeku, tũtirĩ athigaani.”
Yɛn nyinaa firi agya baako. Yɛyɛ nnipa pa, na yɛnyɛ akwansrafoɔ saa.”
12 Nake Jusufu akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca! Mũũkĩte kũrora bũrũri witũ kũrĩa ũtarĩ mũgitĩre.”
Nanso, Yosef ka tii mu sɛ, “Dabi, morebɛhwɛ sɛdeɛ asase no asi agyigya afa.”
13 No makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku ciarĩ andũ ikũmi na eerĩ, ariũ a mũthuuri ũmwe, ũrĩa ũtũũraga bũrũri wa Kaanani. Ũrĩa mũnini biũ nĩwe ũrĩ na baba rĩu, na ũmwe witũ ndarĩ ho.”
Anuanom no buaa sɛ, “Yɛn, wʼasomfoɔ, yɛyɛ anuanom dumienu. Yɛyɛ ɔpanin bi a ɔte Kanaan asase so mma. Seesei, yɛn kaakyire no wɔ yɛn agya nkyɛn, ɛnna ɔbaako nso afiri mu.”
14 Jusufu akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “No ta ũrĩa ndamwĩra: Inyuĩ mũrĩ athigaani!
Nanso, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ moyɛ akwansrafoɔ no, ɛno ara ne no.
15 Na ũũ nĩguo mũkũmenyeka atĩ mũrĩ andũ a ma: Ti-itherũ, o ta ũrĩa Firaũni atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, mũtingiuma kũndũ gũkũ nginya ũrĩa mũnini wanyu oke.
Ɛkwan a mepɛ sɛ mefa so de sɔ mo hwɛ nie: mmerɛ dodoɔ a Farao te ase yi, meremma mo mfiri Misraim asase so ha nkɔ da, kɔsi sɛ mode mo kaakyire no bɛba.

Monsoma mo mu baako, na ɔnkɔfa mo kaakyire no mmra. Mede mo a moaka no nyinaa bɛgu afiase. Ɛno na ɛbɛma yɛahunu sɛ, mo asɛm a moreka no yɛ nokorɛ anaa ɛnyɛ nokorɛ. Sɛ ɛkɔba sɛ monni nuabarima kumaa a ɔyɛ mo kaakyire a, mmerɛ dodoɔ a Farao te ase yi, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ moyɛ akwansrafoɔ ampa!”
17 Nake akĩmaikia othe njeera, magĩikara kuo mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
Enti, ɔde wɔn guu afiase hɔ nnansa.
18 Mũthenya wa ĩtatũ Jusufu akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tondũ ndĩ mwĩtigĩri Ngai-rĩ, ĩkai ũũ nĩguo mũtũũre muoyo:
Ne nnansa so no, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no sɛ, “Meyɛ onyamesuroni. Ɛno enti, merebɛma mo ɛkwan ama moasane mo ho sɛ monyɛ akwansrafoɔ.

20 No rĩrĩ, no nginya mũndehere mũrũ wa thoguo ũcio mũnini biũ, nĩgeetha ciugo cianyu ciĩtĩkĩrĩke kũna atĩ nĩ cia ma, na nĩguo mũtigakue.” Nao magĩĩka o ũguo.
Nanso, ɛkwan biara so no, momfa mo nua kumaa no mmɛkyerɛ me. Ɛno na ɛbɛma mahunu sɛ, asɛm a moreka no yɛ nokorɛ anaasɛ ɛnyɛ nokorɛ. Na sɛ nokorɛ na moreka deɛ a, mɛgyaa mo.” Wɔpenee abisadeɛ a Yosef de too wɔn anim no so.
21 Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ tũraherithio nĩ ũndũ wa mũrũ wa ithe witũ. Nĩtuonire ũrĩa aarĩ na thĩĩna rĩrĩa atũthaithaga tũhonokie muoyo wake, no tũkĩrega kũmũigua; na no kĩo tũnyiitĩtwo nĩ thĩĩna ũyũ.”

22 Rubeni akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndiamwĩrire mũtikehĩrie kamwana kau? No inyuĩ mũkĩrega gũũthikĩrĩria! Rĩu no nginya tũrĩhio thakame yake.”
Afei, anuanom no mu panin a wɔfrɛ no Ruben no kaa sɛ, “Manka mankyerɛ mo sɛ monnyɛ bɔne biara ntia abarimaa no? Nanso moantie! Afei na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbu ne mogya ho akonta”
23 No matiamenyaga atĩ Jusufu nĩaiguaga ũrĩa moigaga, tondũ we aatũmagĩra mũtabuti akĩmaarĩria.
Esiane sɛ na obi kyerɛ nsɛm a Yosef ka no ase kyerɛ wɔn no enti, na wɔnnim sɛ Yosef te wɔn kasa.
24 Jusufu akĩmahutatĩra akĩmeherera, akĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra; ningĩ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ akĩmaarĩria rĩngĩ. Akĩnyiitithia Simeoni akĩeherio harĩo na akĩohwo makĩonaga.
Yosef sɔre firii wɔn nkyɛn kɔsuiɛ. Ɔsane baeɛ ne wɔn bɛkasaa bio. Ɔyii Simeon firii wɔn mu, ma wɔkyekyeree no wɔ wɔn anim.
25 Jusufu agĩathana makũnia mao maiyũrio ngano, na betha cia o mũndũ icookio ikũnia-inĩ rĩake, na maheo rĩĩgu wa rũgendo. Thuutha wa gwĩkĩrwo maũndũ macio,
Yosef hyɛɛ sɛ, wɔnhyɛ wɔn nkotokuo no aburoo ma ma, na wɔnsane mfa obiara sika a anka ɔde rebɛtɔ aburoo nhyɛ ne kotokuo mu, na wɔmma wɔn akwansoduane nso nka ho. Wɔyɛɛ yei maa wɔn.
26 makĩigĩrĩra ndigiri ciao mĩrigo ĩyo ya ngano na makiumagara.
Wɔhyehyɛɛ wɔn aburoo nkotokuo no wɔ mfunumu no so, siim sɛ wɔrekɔ wɔn kurom.
27 Harĩa maarũgamire mararĩrĩre-rĩ, ũmwe wao agĩtumũra ikũnia rĩake ahe ndigiri yake irio, nake akĩona betha ciake hau mũromo-inĩ wa ikũnia rĩake.
Wɔrekɔ no ara, wɔgyinaa ɛkwan so anadwo homeeɛ. Ɛhɔ na wɔn mu baako sanee ne kotokuo ano sɛ ɔrema nʼafunumu aduane adi. Ɔsanee ne kotokuo no ano no, ɔhunuu sɛ ne sika a anka ɔde rekɔtɔ aburoo no hyɛ kotokuo no fa baabi.
28 Akĩĩra ariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “Haiya, nĩnjookeirio betha ciakwa; ĩ ici haha ikũnia-inĩ rĩakwa.” Ngoro ciao ikĩnyiitwo nĩ ihooru na makĩrorana makĩinainaga, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa ũũ Ngai atwĩkĩte?”
Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no sɛ, “Wɔde me sika no asane ahyɛ me kotokuo no mu. Monhwɛ. Ɛno nie!” Saa asɛm yi maa wɔn akoma tutuiɛ. Enti, wɔhwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim kaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn anwanwadeɛ na Onyankopɔn ayɛ yɛn yi?”
29 Na rĩrĩa maakinyire kũrĩ ithe wao Jakubu kũu bũrũri wa Kaanani-rĩ, makĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe monete. Makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
Wɔduruu wɔn agya Yakob nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan no, wɔbɔɔ no nsɛm a asisi no nyinaa ho amaneɛ. Wɔkaa sɛ,
30 “Mũndũ ũrĩa mwathi wa bũrũri ũcio aatwarĩirie na ũũru mũingĩ na agĩtũtua ta twathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio.
“Yɛduruu Misraim asase so no, ɔbarima a ɔhwɛ asase no so no a ɔyɛ asase no so ɔhene ɔboafoɔ no poopoo nʼani, kasaa anihanehane so kyerɛɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛyɛ akwansrafoɔ.
31 No ithuĩ tũkĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ithuĩ tũrĩ andũ ehokeku; tũtirĩ athigaani.
Nanso, yɛbuaa no sɛ, ‘Yɛyɛ nnipa pa, na yɛnyɛ akwansrafoɔ.
32 Twarĩ andũ ikũmi na eerĩ, ariũ a mũthuuri ũmwe. Ũmwe ndarĩ ho, na ũrĩa mũnini biũ arĩ na ithe witũ kũu Kaanani.’
Yɛyɛ anuanom dumienu a yɛfiri agya baako. Ɔbaako afiri mu. Seesei, yɛn kaakyire no wɔ yɛn agya nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan.’
33 “Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio mwathi wa bũrũri agĩtwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩgũtũma menye kana mũrĩ andũ ehokeku: Ndigĩrai mũrũ wa thoguo ũmwe gũkũ, muoe irio mũthiĩ mũcitwarĩre andũ a nyũmba cianyu acio marĩ na ngʼaragu.
“Afei, ɔbarima a ɔhwɛ asase no so ka kyerɛɛ yɛn sɛ, ‘Ɛkwan a mepɛ sɛ mefa so de sɔ mo hwɛ nie: Monnya mo nuanom baako wɔ me nkyɛn ha, na monkɔtɔ aburoo no bi nkɔma mo fiefoɔ a ɛkɔm rekum wɔn no.

36 Ithe wao Jakubu akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrĩ kũũniinĩra ciana ciakwa. Jusufu ndarĩ ho, na Simeoni ndarĩ ho, na rĩu mũrenda kuoya Benjamini. Maũndũ maya mothe nĩ niĩ mokĩrĩire!”
Ɛyɛɛ saa maa wɔn agya Yakob ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Moama mahwere me mma. Yosef nni hɔ; Simeon nso nni hɔ; afei mopɛ sɛ mofa Benyamin nso ka ho! Biribiara ko tia me.”
37 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Rubeni akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkooraga ariũ akwa eerĩ ingĩkaaga gũcookia Benjamini harĩwe. Reke akorwo ũmenyereri-inĩ wakwa, na nĩngamũcookia.”
Ruben ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya sɛ, “Sɛ mamfa Benyamin ansane amma a, wowɔ ho kwan sɛ wokum me mmammarima baanu no si anan. Fa no hyɛ me nsa, na mɛsane mede no abrɛ wo.”
38 No Jakubu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa ndegũikũrũka athiĩ na inyuĩ; mũrũ wa nyina nĩ mũkuũ na nowe wiki ũtigarĩte. Angĩnyiitwo nĩ mũtino mũna rũgendo-inĩ rũu mũrathiĩ-rĩ, mwatũma mbuĩ ici ciakwa ithiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ na kĩeha.” (Sheol h7585)
Nanso, Yakob buaa sɛ, “Me babarima no ne monnkɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ne nuabarima awu ama aka ɔno nko. Sɛ saa akwantuo a morebɛtu yi, asiane bi kɔsiane no a, mɛwu.” (Sheol h7585)
