Kinohi 50
1 HAULE iho la o Iosopa ma ka maka o kona makuakane, a uwe iho la maluna iho, a houi aku la.
UJosefa wasewela phezu kobuso bukayise, wakhala inyembezi phezu kwakhe, wamanga.
2 Kauoha ae la o Iosepa i kana mau kauwa, i na kahnua e ialoa i kona makuakane, a ialoa no na kahuna ia Iseraela.
UJosefa waselaya inceku zakhe abelaphi ukuthi baqhole uyise ngomuthi; labelaphi bamqhola uIsrayeli ngomuthi.
3 A pau ae la na la hookahi kanaha nona, no ka mea, oia na la e pau ai ka ialoa ana o ka poe i ialoaia; a kanikau iho la ko Aigupita nona i na la he kanahiku.
Zagcwaliseka kuye insuku ezingamatshumi amane, ngoba ngokunjalo zazigcwaliseka insuku zabaqholwe ngomuthi. LamaGibhithe amlilela insuku ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
4 A pau ae la na la kanikau, olelo aku la o Iosepa i na kanaka o Parao, i aku la, Ina i loaa ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai ia oukou, ke nei aku nei au, e olelo aku oukou ma ka pepeiao o Parao, me ka i aku,
Kwathi sezidlulile insuku zokumkhalela, uJosefa wakhuluma lendlu kaFaro esithi: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni enu, ake likhulume endlebeni zikaFaro, lisithi:
5 Na ko'u makuakane i hoohiki ai au, i mai la ia, E, e make ana au. E kanu oe ia'u, ma ka lua kupapau a'u i kohi ai no'u ma ka aina i kanaana. Malaila oe e kanu ai ia'u. E ae mai hoi oe ia'u ke pii aku a kanu i kuu makuakane, a hoi hou mai no.
Ubaba wangifungisa esithi: Khangela, ngiyafa; engcwabeni engazigebhela lona elizweni leKhanani, lapho ungingcwabe. Khathesi-ke, ake ngenyuke ngiyengcwaba ubaba, besengibuya.
6 I mai la o Parao, O hele e kanu i kou makuakane, e like me kau i hoohiki ai nana.
UFaro wasesithi: Yenyuka uyengcwaba uyihlo njengokukufungisa kwakhe.
7 Pii aku la o Iosepa e kanu i kona makuakane, a pii pu aku la me ia na kauwa a Parao a pau, a me na luna kahiko o kona hale, a me na luna kahiko a pau o ka aina o Aigupita:
UJosefa wasesenyuka ukuyangcwaba uyise, kwenyuka kanye laye zonke izinceku zikaFaro, abadala bendlu yakhe, labo bonke abadala belizwe leGibhithe,
8 O ko Iosepa poe a pau me kona poe hoahanau, a me ka poe a pau o kona makuakane. O na kamalii, a me na hipa, a me na bipi, oia wale no ka lakou i waiho ai mahope, ma ka aina i Gosena.
lendlu yonke kaJosefa, labafowabo, lendlu kayise; kuphela abantwana babo abancinyane lezimvu zabo lenkomo zabo bakutshiya elizweni leGosheni.
9 Pii pu aku la me ia na kaa a me na hoohololio; he poe nui loa.
Kwasekusenyuka kanye laye konke izinqola labagadi bamabhiza, kwaba liviyo elinzima kakhulu.
10 Pii aku la lakou i kahi hehi palaoa o Atada, ma o aku o Ioredaue, a malaila lakou i uwe ai me ka uwe nui loa, a kanikau iho la lakou i kona makuakane i na la ehiku.
Kwathi sebefike esizeni seAtadi, eliphetsheya kweJordani, balila khona, isililo esikhulu lesinzima kakhulu, bamenzela uyise isililo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
11 A ike ae la ka poe noho ma ia aina, o ko Kanaana i ua kanikau nei, ma kahi hehi palaoa o Atada, olelo iho la lakou, He kanikau nui loa keia a ko Aigupita: no ia mea, ua kapa aku la ka inoa o Abelamizeraima, aia ma o aku o Ioredane.
Kwathi abakhileyo belizwe, amaKhanani, bebona ukulila esizeni seAtadi, bathi: Lesi yisililo esinzima samaGibhithe. Ngakho basebesitha ibizo laso iAbeli-Mizirayimi, eliphetsheya kweJordani.
12 A hana aku la kana mau keiki ia ia e like me kana i kauoha ai ia lakou.
Amadodana akhe asemenzela njalo njengalokhu ewalayile;
13 Lawe aku la no kana mau keiki ia ia, i ka aina o Kanaana, a kanu iho la ia ia ma ke ana iloko o ke kula, ma Makepela, na Aberahama i kuai ia kula i wahi ilina nona, me Eperona no ka Heta, aia ma ke alo o Mamere.
ngoba amadodana akhe amthwalela elizweni leKhanani, amngcwaba obhalwini lwensimu yeMakaphela, uAbrahama aluthenga lensimu, lube yindawo yakhe yokungcwabela, kuEfroni umHethi, eqondane leMamre.
14 A pau ke kanu ana i kona makuakane, hoi aku la o Iosepa i Aigupita, oia, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau i hele pu me ia e kanu i kona makuakane.
UJosefa wasebuyela eGibhithe, yena labafowabo labo bonke abenyuka laye ukuyangcwaba uyise, esemngcwabile uyise.
15 A ike iho la na kaikuaana o Iosepa, ua make ko lakou makuakane, olelo lakou, E ukiuki mai auanei o Iosepa ia kakou; e oiaio no, e hoopai mai ia i ka hewa a pau a kakou i hana aku ai ia ia.
Kwathi abafowabo bakaJosefa sebebonile ukuthi uyise usefile bathi: Mhlawumbe uJosefa uzasizonda, ngoqotho asiphindisele ububi bonke esabenza kuye.
16 Kauoha ae la lakou ia Iosepa, i ae la, Kauoha mai la kou makuakane, mamua o kona make ana, i mai la,
Basebenika isilayezelo kuJosefa besithi: Uyihlo walaya engakafi, esithi:
17 E i aku oukou ia Iosepa, Ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e kala oe i ka hewa o kou poe kaikuaana, a me ko lakou hala, no ka mea, ua hana hewa lakou ia oe. Ano hoi, e kala oe i ka hewa o na kauwa a ke Akua o kou makuakane. Uwe iho la o Iosepa i ka lakou olelo ana mai ia ia.
Lizakutsho kanje kuJosefa lithi: Ngiyakucela, akuxolele isiphambeko sabafowenu lesono sabo, ngoba bakwenzela okubi; khathesi-ke ake uxolele isiphambeko sezinceku zikaNkulunkulu kayihlo. UJosefa wasekhala inyembezi nxa bekhuluma kuye.
18 Hele ae la hoi kona poe kaikuaana, haule iho la ma kona alo, i ae la, O kau mau kanwa makou.
Labafowabo labo beza, bawa phansi phambi kwakhe, bathi: Khangela, siyizinceku zakho.
19 I mai la o Iosepa ia lakou, Mai makau oukou, Owau anei ma ko ke Akua wahi?
Kodwa uJosefa wathi kibo: Lingesabi, ngoba kanti ngisendaweni kaNkulunkulu yini?
20 I manao no oukou e hana ino mai ia'u, a hoololi mai ke Akua ia mea, i mea maikai, e hana mai ai e like me ia i neia la, e hoola i na kanaka he nui loa.
Kodwa lina laceba okubi kimi, uNkulunkulu waceba ngokuhle, ukuze enze njengalamuhla, ukuze alondoloze abantu abanengi bephila.
21 Mai makau: na'u no oukou e malama aku i ka ai, a me ka oukou poe keiki. Hooluolu mai la ia ia lakou, a olelo lokomaikai mai la i ko lakou naau.
Khathesi-ke lingesabi; mina ngizalondla lina labantwanyana benu. Wasebaduduza, wakhuluma labo ngomusa.
22 Noho iho la o Iosepa ma Aignpita, oia, a me ka ohana a kona makuakane: a o na makahiki o ko Iosepa oia ana, hookahi haneri a me ka umi keu.
UJosefa wasehlala eGibhithe, yena lendlu kayise. Njalo uJosefa waphila iminyaka elikhulu letshumi.
23 A ike iho la o Iosepa i na keiki a Eperaima a me ke ku akolu, a me na keiki a Makira, ke keiki a Manase, o ka mea i hanauia ma na kuli o Iosepa.
UJosefa wasebona abantwana bakaEfrayimi abesizukulwana sesithathu; labantwana bakaMakiri indodana kaManase bazalelwa emadolweni kaJosefa.
24 I ae la o Iosepa i kona poe hoahanau, E make ana au. E oiaio no, e ike mai ke Akua ia oukou, a e hoihoi aku ia oukou, mai keia aina aku, a ka aina ana i hoohiki ai ia Aberahama a ia Isaaka, a ia Iakoba.
UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo: Ngiyafa, kodwa uNkulunkulu uzalihambela isibili, alenyuse kulelilizwe alise elizweni alifungela oAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe.
25 Na Iosepa no, na mamo a Iseraela i hoohiki ai, i ae la, E oiaio no, e ike mai ke Akua ia oukou, a e lawe aku oukou i ko'u mau iwi, mai anei aku.
UJosefa wafungisa amadodana kaIsrayeli esithi: UNkulunkulu uzalihambela isibili, njalo lizakwenyusa amathambo ami asuke lapha.
26 A make iho la o Iosepa ma ka makahiki o kona ola ana, hookahi haneri a me ka umi keu. A ialoa iho la lakou ia ia a waiho iho la maloko o ka pahu ma Aigupita.
UJosefa wasesifa, eleminyaka elikhulu letshumi; basebemqhola ngomuthi, wafakwa ebhokisini eGibhithe.
