Njaa ilikuwa kali katika nchi.

Ikawa walipokuwa wametumia chakula chote walichokitoa Misri, baba yao akawambia, “Nendeni tena; mtununulie chakula.”

Yuda akamwambia, “Yule mtu alituonya kwa ukali, 'Hamtauona uso wangu ndugu yenu asipokuwa nanyi.'
4 Kagrama naganatima atresankeno'ma tagra'enema esaniana, tagra uramita nezanka'a ome miza huta egahune.
Ikiwa utamtuma ndugu yetu pamoja nasi, tutashuka na kuwanunulia chakula.

Lakini usipompeleka, hatutashuka. Kwa maana yule mtu alitwambia, 'Hamtauona uso wangu ndugu yenu asipokuwa nanyi.”
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.
Israeli akawambia, “Kwa nini mlinitendea mimi vibaya hivyo kwa kumwambia mtu huyo kwamba mnaye ndugu mwingine?”
7 Hianagi zamagra asami'za, Ana kva ne'mo'a ana maka'mota tantahige tantahige huno tagriku'ene, vahetigu'ene, tantahigeno amanage hu'ne, Nermafa'a ofri amne mani'nefi? Hagi magora naganatamimo'a mani'neo? Huno higeta tamagra naganatamimofona avreta eho hani'a nanekea ontahineta kenona'a hu'none.
Wakasema, “Yule mtu alituuliza habari zetu na familia yetu kwa kina. Akasema, 'Je baba yenu bado yuko hai? Je mnaye ndugu mwingine?'Tukamjibu kulingana na maswali haya. Tungejuaje kwamba angetwambia, 'Mleteni ndugu yenu?”
8 Hutazageno Juda'a nafa'amofo Jekopuna amanage huno asmi'ne, Ana ne'mofavre Benzamenina huntegeno nagrane vanigeta, tagrane kagrane mofavre'zagatine tagakura huta ofrita mani'mneno.
Yuda akamwambia Israeli baba yake, “Mtume kijana pamoja nami. Tutainuka na kwenda ili kwamba tuishi tusife, wote sisi, wewe, na hata watoto wetu.
9 Nagrani'a huvempa huanki'na Benzamenina kegava krintegahue, hanki kvama hu'so'e osanugeno'ma hazenkema eri'na ana knazana nagra erigahue. Hagi kagri kavure'ma avre'na omesuna nagra ana knazana erigahue. Nehanugeno ana knazamo'a nagrane mevava hugahie.
Mimi nitakuwa mdhamini wake. Utaniwajibisha mimi. Kama nisipomleta na kumweka mbele yako, basi nibebe lawama daima.
10 Hianagi tagrama avega ontetasina, menina tagra tare zupa vuta ete huta ne'zana eruntesine.
Kwani kama tusingekawia, bila shaka hata sasa tungekuwa tumekwisha rudi mara ya pili.”

Israeli baba yao akawambia, “Kama ni hivyo, basi fanyeni hivi. Chukueni baadhi ya mazao mazuri ya nchi katika mifuko yenu. Mchukulieni yule mtu zawadi: baadhi ya malhamu, asali, viungo na manemane, jozi na lozi.
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.
Chukueni pesa mara mbili mikononi mwenu. Pesa iliyorudishwa katika magunia yenu, muichukue tena katika mikono yenu. Pengine walikosea.
13 Ana nehutma nagna tami'mofona otita ame huta avretma ete ana kva nete viho.
Mchukueni ndugu yenu pia. Inukeni na mwende tena kwa mtu yule.

Mungu Mwenyezi na awape kuona rehema mbele ya huyo mtu, hivyo kwamba awafungulie ndugu yenu mwingine na Benjamini. Kama nikipotelewa na watoto, nimepotelewa.”
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.
Watu wale wakachukua zawadi hii, na katika mikono yao wakachukua mara mbili ya kiasi cha pesa, pamoja na Benjamini. Wakaamka na kushuka Misri na kusimama mbele ya Yusufu.
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.
Yusufu alipomwona Benjamini akiwa nao, akamwambia mtunzaji wa nyumba yake, “Walete watu hao ndani ya nyumba, chinja mnyama na umwandae, kwani watu hawa watakula chakula cha mchana pamoja nami.”
17 Eri'za ne'amo'a agrama ke hiaza huno zamavareno Josefe nompi ome zamante'ne.
Mtunzaji wa nyumba akafanya kama Yusufu alivyosema. Akawaleta wale watu nyumbani kwa Yusufu.
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.
Wale ndugu wakaogopa kwa vile walivyoletwa katika nyumba ya Yusufu. Wakasema, “Ni kwa sababu ya pesa iliyorudishwa katika magunia yetu mara ya kwanza tulipoletwa ndani, kwamba atafute nafasi kinyume chetu. Kwamba aweze kutukamata na kutuchukua kama watumwa, na kuchukua punda wetu.” Wakamsogelea mtunzaji wa nyumba ya Yusufu,
19 Anage nehu'za Josefe nompi eri'za nete, Josefe no kasante vu'za ome asami'za,
nao wakaongea naye mlangoni mwa nyumba,
20 amanage hu'naze, ra netimoke, tagra ko'ma amare e'tama nezama eme miza senona naga e'none.
wakisema, “Bwana wangu, tulikuja mara ya kwanza kununua chakula.
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.
Ikawa, tulipofika katika eneo la kupumzikia, tukafungua magunia yetu, na, tazama, pesa ya kila mtu ilikuwa katika gunia lake, pesa yetu kwa kiasi kamili. Tumeileta katika mikono yetu.
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.
Tumekuja na pesa nyingine pia mikonon mwetu ili kununua chakula. Hatujui aliyeziweka pesa katika magunia yetu.”
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.
Mtunzaji wa nyumba akasema, “Amani iwe kwenu, msiogope. Mungu wenu na Mungu wa baba yenu ndiye aliyeweka pesa katika magunia yenu. Nilipokea pesa yenu.” Kisha mtunzaji wa nyumba akamleta Simoni kwao.
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.
Msimamizi wa nyumba akawapeleka watu hao katika nyumba ya Yusufu. Akawapa maji, nao wakaosha miguu yao. Akawalisha punda wao.
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.
Wakaandaa zawadi kwa ajili ya Yusufu aliyekuwa akija mchana, kwani walikuwa wamesikia kwamba watakula pale.
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.
Yusufu alipokuja nyumbani, wakaleta nyumbani zawadi iliyokuwa mikononi mwao, nao wakainama mbele yake hata chini.
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?
Akawauliza juu ya hali zao na kusema,”Je baba yenu hajambo, yule mzee mliyemnena? Je bado yu hai?”
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.
Wakasema, “Mtumishi wako baba yetu hajambo. Na bado yu hai” Wakajinyenyekeza na kuinama chini.
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.
Alipoinua macho yake akamwona Benjamini ndugu yake, mwana wa mamaye, naye akasema, “Je huyu ndiye mdogo wenu mliyemsema?” Na kisha akasema, “Mungu na awe mwenye neema kwako, mwanangu.”
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.
Yusufu akaharakisha kutoka chumbani, kwani aliguswa sana kuhusu nduguye. Akatafuta mahali pa kulia. Akaingia chumbani mwake na kulia umo.
31 Zaviteteno avugosa sese huteno asu'zana eri rentrako nehuno, megi'a atiramino amanage huno zamasmi'ne, ne'za atinketa namaneno.
Akaosha uso wake na kutoka nje. Akajizuia mwenyewe, akasema, “karibuni chakula.”
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.
Watumishi wakamhudumia Yusufu peke yake na wale ndugu peke yao. Wamisri pale wakala pamoja naye peke yao kwa sababu Wamisri hawakuweza kula mkate na Waebrania, kwani hilo ni chukizo kwa Wamisri.
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.
Wale ndugu wakakaa mbele yake, mzaliwa wa kwanza kwa kulingana na haki yake ya uzaliwa, na mdogo kulingana na ujana wake. Wale watu wakashangaa wote.
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.
Yusufu akapeleka sehemu kwao kutoka katika chakula kilichokuwa mbele yake. Lakini sehemu ya Benjamini ilikuwa mara tano zaidi ya kila ndugu zake. Wakanywa na wakamfurahia.
