33 A o ke kanaka, ka haku o ka aina, olelo mai la ia makou, I keia mea e ikeia'i he poe kanaka pono oukou, E waiho mai oukou i kekahi hoahanau o oukou me au, a e lawe i ai na ka wi o ko oukou mau hale, a e hoi aku:
Lendoda, umbusi welizwe, wathi kithi: Ngalokhu ngizakwazi ukuthi lingabaqotho; tshiyani omunye wabafowenu kimi, lithathele indlala yezindlu zenu, lihambe,
34 A e lawe mai oukou i ko oukou kaikaina io'u nei; alaila, ike au ia oukou, aohe kiu, he poe kanaka maikai no oukou; a e kuu aku au ia oukou i ko oukou hoahanau, a e kuai oukou iloko o keia aina.
lilethe umnawenu olicinathunjana kimi; khona ngizabona ukuthi kalisizo izinhloli kodwa lingabaqotho, ngilinike umfowenu, lithengiselane elizweni.
35 A i ka ninini ana aku a lakou i ka lakou mau eke, aia hoi, iloko o na eke a lakou, ka lakou mau laulau moni a pau. A ike ae la lakou a me ko lakou makuakane i na laulau moni, makau nui iho la lakou.

36 A olelo mai la o Iakoba ko lakou makuakane ia lakou, Ua hoonele mai oukou ia'u i ka'u mau keiki. O Iosepa, aole ia, a o Simeona, aole ia, a e lawe aku ana oukou ia Beniamina. Ke pale mai nei keia mau mea a pau ia'u.
UJakobe uyise wasesithi kubo: Liyangemuka abantwana; uJosefa kasekho loSimeyoni kakho, loBhenjamini lizamthatha; zonke lezizinto zimelane lami.
37 Olelo aku la o Reubena i kona makuakane, i aku la, E pepehi mai oe i ka'u mau keiki elua, ke hoihoi ole mai au ia ia nei iou la; e haawi mai oe ia ia nei i kuu lima, na'u ia e hoihoi hou mai iou la.
URubeni wasekhuluma kuyise esithi: Bulala ababili kumadodana ami, uba ngingambuyisi kuwe; mnikele esandleni sami, futhi mina ngizambuyisela kuwe.
38 Olelo mai la ia, Aole e iho aku ka'u keiki me oukou ilaila, no ka mea, ua make kona kaikuaana, oia nei wale no koe: ina poino keia, ma ke alanui a oukou e hele ai, alaila, lawe iho oukou i ko'u oho hina i ka lua me ke kaniuhu. (Sheol h7585)
Kodwa wathi: Indodana yami kayiyikwehla lani, ngoba umfowabo ufile, futhi yena usele yedwa; uba esehlelwa yingozi endleleni elihamba kuyo, lizakwehlisela engcwabeni izimvu zami ngosizi. (Sheol h7585)
