Kodwa nxa ungezukuvuma, ngeke sibuyele, ngoba phela indoda leyo yathi kithi, ‘Ngeke liphinde libubone ubuso bami nxa umnawenu lingelaye.’”
6 Anage nehazageno Jekopu'a (Israeli) amanage hu'ne, Tamagra nahigeta ana kva nera magora naganatia mani'ne huta asmi'nageno anankea hu'ne? E'ina'ma hu'naza zamo'a nagrira tusi'a zampi nazeri haviza haze.

10 Hianagi tagrama avega ontetasina, menina tagra tare zupa vuta ete huta ne'zana eruntesine.
Njengoba kunje nje, aluba asizilingananga ngabe sesihambe saphenduka kwaze kwaba kabili.”
11 Nezmafa Israeli'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagrama Benzamenima avreta vunaku'ma hanuta amana hiho, mago'a knare'nare zafa rgama mopatifima me'neana kutamifina erinerita mago'a tusa masevene (balm), tumemofo rima'ane, (honey) mananentake masavene, mananentake zafa rine, pistasios zafa ragane, almoni zafa raganena eri'neta vuta ana kva nera musezana ome amiho.
Ngakho uyise u-Israyeli wasesithi kubo, “Nxa kumele kube njalo, yenzani lokhu: Fakani emasakeni enu ezinye izinto ezinhle kakhulu eziphuma kulelilizwe lihambe lazo kulowomuntu zibe yisipho, amagcobo okuthambisa loluju, iziyoliso ezithile lemure, izilimo ezicacadwayo zephistakhiyo le-alimondi.
12 Ana nehuta mago'a zagoa eri aguheta tamazampina e'rineta, zamage kaniza e'ririnegahazanki, kutamifima erarinagetama erita e'naza zagonena erineta vuta ome amiho.

13 Ana nehutma nagna tami'mofona otita ame huta avretma ete ana kva nete viho.
Mthatheni umnawenu laye libuyele kuleyondoda ngokuphangisa.
14 Hagi nunamu huankino hihamu'ane Anumzamo ana ne'mofo avure asunku huramantesuno'a, mago neramafune, Benzamenikiznia zanatre sanigeke ete egaha'e. Hagi nagrama mofavre ni'amokizmigu'ma nasunku'ma hanuna, nagra nasunku nehu'na manigahue.
Sengathi uNkulunkulu uSomandla angalenzela umusa kuleyondoda ukuze ivumele omunye umfowenu kanye loBhenjamini baphenduke lani. Mina ngokwami ngithi, kambe okungayisikufa yikuphi!”
15 Jekopu'a anage hige'za mofavre naga'amo'za ana muse'zana (gift) e'neri'za, mago'ane zagoa eriguhe'za zamazampi e'neri'za, Benzamenina nevre'za oti'za Isipi moparega vu'za ana kva ne' Josefe avure uoti'naze.
Ngakho amadoda athatha izipho lesiliva esiphindwe kabili kanye loBhenjamini. Batshitsha baya eGibhithe bayazibika kuJosefa.
16 Hagi zamagranema nagana'amo Benzameni ne-egeno Josefe'ma negeno'a noma'afi eri'za ne'a amanage huno hunte'ne, Ama vahera zamavarenka nompi ome nezmantenka, mago afu ome ahenka krenka ne'zana retro huo. Na'ankure zamagra nagrane feru ne'zana negahune.
Kwathi uJosefa ebona uBhenjamini ekanye labo, wathi encekwini yendlu yakhe, “Hamba lamadoda la endlini yami, uwahlabele isifuyo ulungise ukudla; bazakudla lami emini.”
17 Eri'za ne'amo'a agrama ke hiaza huno zamavareno Josefe nompi ome zamante'ne.
Indoda yenza njengokutshelwa kwayo nguJosefa, yawathatha amadoda yahamba lawo endlini kaJosefa.
18 Anama huno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'ma zamavareno nompi vige'za kore nehu'za amanage hu'za hu'naze. Ko'ma kutifima eriri rante'nea zagoreku huno tavre noma'afi tanteankino, tantahinegeno tazerino kazokzo eri'za vahe'a trohu neranteno mika donkitinena avre vagaregahie.
Amadoda ethuka ebona elethwa endlini kaJosefa. Bacabanga ukuthi, “Silethwe lapha ngenxa yesiliva esabuyiselwa emasakeni ethu ekufikeni kwethu kwakuqala. Ufuna ukusihlasela asehlule, abesesithumba sibe yizigqili athathe obabhemi bethu.”
19 Anage nehu'za Josefe nompi eri'za nete, Josefe no kasante vu'za ome asami'za,
Ngakho baya encekwini kaJosefa bayakhuluma laye entubeni eya endlini.
20 amanage hu'naze, ra netimoke, tagra ko'ma amare e'tama nezama eme miza senona naga e'none.
Bathi, “Ake usizwe, nkosi yethu: Safika lapha kuqala sizothenga ukudla.
21 Hianagi ne'zama miza huteta, kantega umsenaku hunte kutima eriheta huta konana, magoke magokemota ne'zama mizase'nona kante zagotia kutimofo avazare me'negeta keteta ama erita e'none.
Kodwa lapho esaphumula khona ebusuku savula amasaka ethu, kwaba ngulowo wethu wafumana isiliva sakhe, siphelele ubunzima baso, sisemlonyeni wesaka lakhe. Ngakho size laso.
22 Aza ana zago'a eririranteneo e'i ana vahera onke'none. Antahita keta osu'neta ana zagone ete mago'ane ne'za miza hanune huta eritru huna zagonena erineta e'none.
Size lesinye isiliva phezu kwaleso ukuthi sithenge ukudla. Kasikwazi ukuthi ngubani owabuyisela isiliva emasakeni ethu.”
23 Anage hazageno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Knare huta manigahazanki koro osuta akoheta maniho. Tamagri Anumzane, neramafa Anumzamo kutamifina zagoa eriramante'negahie. Nagra zagotmia ko namizage'na eri'noe. Nehuno Simeoni ome avreno eme zami'ne.
Wathi, “Kulungile. Lingesabi. UNkulunkulu wenu, uNkulunkulu kayihlo, uliphile inotho emasakeni enu; mina ngasiphiwa isiliva senu.” Emva kwalokho waseletha uSimiyoni kubo.
24 Ana huteno Josefe eri'za ne'mo'a nompi zamavareno eno, tina tagi zamige'za zamaga sese nehazageno, donki zamimofona ne'zana zami'ne.
Inceku yasiwangenisa amadoda endlini kaJosefa, yawapha amanzi okugeza inyawo zawo, yaletha lotshani babobabhemi bawo.
25 Ana nehazage'za Josefe'ma agra noma'afi ferura ne'za negahune hige'za antahi'nagu avega ante'za mani'ne'za musezana (gift) eri antente'naze.
Balungisa izipho zabo balindela ukufika kukaJosefa emini ngoba basebezwile ukuthi babezakudla khonapho.
26 Hagi Josefe'ma nontegama ne-ege'za nege'za, musezama eri'za e'naza zana eme nemi'za mopafi zamarena re'za avuga kepri hunte'naze.
UJosefa esefikile bethula izipho ababengene lazo endlini, njalo bakhothama kuye phansi.
27 Anante Josefe'a knare huta mani'nazo huno hu so'e hunezmanteno, anage huno zmantahige'ne, Ko'ma neramafanku'ma ozafa reno mani'ne huta nasmi'nazana, agra menina knare huno mani'nefi? Ofri mani'neo?
Wababuza ukuphila, wasesithi, “Linjani ixhegu elinguyihlo elangitshela ngalo? Lilokhu lisaphila na?”
28 Hige'za zamagra anage hu'za asmi'naze, Nerafa'a eri'za nekamo'a knare huno ofri mani'ne. Anage hu'za nesami'za agafi kepri hu'za razampi antahimi'naze.
Baphendula bathi, “Inceku yakho, ubaba, ulokhu esaphila njalo usaqinile.” Bakhothama njalo betshengisa inhlonipho.
29 Ana hunentageno kesga huno nagna'amofo Benzameni, nerera mofavre negeno amanage huno hu'ne, Ama mofavrea neragana e'ma hutama nasmi'naza mofavrefi? Josefe anage nehuno, Anumzamo'a knare huno mofavrenimoka kaza huno asomu hugantegahie hu'ne.
Wathi elokhu ebakhangela wabona umnawakhe uBhenjamini, umntakanina sibili, wabuza wathi, “Nguye lo umnawenu olicinathunjana na, lowo elangitshela ngaye?” Wasesithi kuye, “UNkulunkulu kabe lomusa kuwe, ndodana yami.”
30 Josefe'a negna negeno zavi atesia agesa higeno, hantka huno zamatreno zavi ate'sia kumaku hakreno nemasefinka asafi (rum) ufreno zavi ome ate'ne.
Wathinteka kakhulu ngokubona umnawakhe, uJosefa waphangisa waphuma wayafuna indawo yokukhala. Waya ekamelweni lakhe wayakhalela khona.
31 Zaviteteno avugosa sese huteno asu'zana eri rentrako nehuno, megi'a atiramino amanage huno zamasmi'ne, ne'za atinketa namaneno.
Wathi esegezile amehlo waphuma, wazibamba, wasesithi, “Phakululani ukudla.”
32 Josefe ne'zana arure atimi'za, zamagrira arure atinte zamante'za, Isipi naga'mo'za zamagragu ne'zana ne'naze. Na'ankure Isipi vahe'mo'za Hibru vahe'enena magopina bretia onegahaze. Isipi vahe'mo'za Hibru vahe'enema magopi kave ne'zankura zamesra huno zamagotegahie.
Yena bamupha yedwa, abafowabo labo bodwa, kwathi lamaGibhithe ayesidla laye lawo aba wodwa, ngoba amaGibhithe ayengeke adla lamaHebheru, ngoba lokho kwakunengeka kumaGibhithe.
33 Hagi pusa mofavrereti agafa huno fore hu'nare, ranteti vuno osite zamazeri rempi huzmantage'za mani'ne'za tusi'a zampi zamano nevazige'za zamagogogu nehu'za ovufi avufi hu'naze.
Amadoda la ayehlezi ngobudala bawo kuqala ngezibulo kusiyacina ngecinathunjana; bakhangelana bemangele.
34 Josefe itareti eri'za vahe'mo'za ne'zana refko hu'za afuhe'i ome ante nezmante'za, Benzameni tafepina 5fu'a vahe'mo'za nega ne'za antente'naze. E'ina hige'za magopi mani'ne'za knare hu'za ne'zane, tine nene'za muse hu'naze.
Kwakusithi nxa bephakelwa kusuka etafuleni likaJosefa, isabelo sikaBhenjamini sasisedluliswa kahlanu kwesabanye. Ngakho bazitika banatha laye bekhululekile.
