1 Josefena asuzamo'a avitegeno asunku'zana azeriga osuno, anante oti'naza vahekura ranke huno anage hu'ne, Hakare'amota amafintira megi'a atiramiho, hige'za atiramizageno Josefe'a nefu'zane mani'neno huama huno, nagra Josefe'ne huno zamasi'ne.
UJosefa wehluleka ukuzibamba phambi kwazo zonke izinceku zakhe, wasememeza wathi, “Sukani lonke lapha kimi!” Ngakho kakho owayekhona loJosefa lapho eziveza kubafowabo.
2 Nezmasamino krafa huno zavi netege'za, Isipi vahe'mo'za nentahi'za vu'za Fero nompi nemaniza vahera ana zamofo agenkea ome zmasamizage'za maka'moza antahi'naze.
Wakhala kakhulu ephumisela amaGibhithe amuzwa, labendlu kaFaro bezwa ngalokho.
3 Anante Josefe'a afuhe'mokizmia anage huno zamasmi'ne, nagra Josefe'ne! Hanki nenfa'a knare huno mani'nefi? Higeno afuhe'mokizmia tusi'a zamagogo fege'za magore hu'za kea osu'za mani'naze.
UJosefa wathi kubafowabo, “Mina nginguJosefa! Kambe ubaba usaphila na?” Kodwa abafowabo behluleka ukumphendula ngoba besaba kakhulu bephambi kwakhe.
4 Anante Josefe'a afuhe'mokizmigu anage hu'ne, Muse (plis) hurmantoanki nagrite erava'o hiho. Zamagra anante erava'o hazageno anage huno zamasmi'ne, tamagrama zagore'ma natrage'za mizase'za Isipima e'naza ne' tamagri neramafu Josefe'ne.
UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo, “Sondelani kimi.” Bathi sebekwenzile lokho wathi, “Ngingumfowenu uJosefa, yena lowo elamthengisela eGibhithe!
5 Hianagi tamagrama mizante'ma natregenama e'noa zankura, tamagra ramagra tamarimpa ohe ahea osiho. Na'ankure tamagra'a natrage'na amafina eomani'noanki, Anumzamo hunantege'na egota hu'na vahe'mo'za ofri manisagu emani'noe.
Kodwa manje lingakhathazeki njalo lingaze lazisola ngenxa yokungithengisa lapha, ngoba kwakuyikusiza imiphefumulo ukuba uNkulunkulu angithume phambi kwenu.
6 Na'ankure agate'zamo'a tare kafu evigeno, 5fu'a kafua amne me'neanki'za hoza eri'za kri'za onkafigahaze.
Sekube yiminyaka emibili manje indlala ikhona elizweni, njalo okweminyaka emihlanu ezayo kakuyikulinywa loba ukuvuna.
7 Hagi Anumzamo hunantegena ofrita manisagu egote'na e'noe. Ama mopare tamazerise nehu'na, agate kna'afina tamagrira tamazama hanuana tusi'a knare kankamumpinti tamaza hugahue.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wangithuma phambi kwenu ukuba alilondolozele insalela emhlabeni njalo aphephise impilo zenu ngokukhulula okukhulu.
8 E'ina hu'negu, tamagratmi hunantage'na amafina ome'noanki, Anumzamo hunantege'na e'noankino, Agra'a nazeri otige'na Ferona antahintahi nemi'na, noma'a kegava nehu'na, mika Isipi mopanena kegava hu'noe.
Ngakho-ke, kwakungayisini elangithuma lapha, kodwa nguNkulunkulu. Wangenza ngaba ngubaba kuFaro, lenkosi yomuzi wakhe wonke kanye lombusi weGibhithe lonke.
9 Hagi menina ame huta nenfa'ma mani'nerega vuta, anage huta ome asmiho, negamofo Josefena, Anumzamo'a rankva vahe Isipia azeri oti'neanki, hantka hunka eno, huta ome asmiho.
Manje, phangisani liye kubaba lithi kuye, ‘Nanku indodana yakho uJosefa akutshoyo: UNkulunkulu usengenze ngaba yinkosi yalo lonke elaseGibhithe. Yehla uze kimi; ungaphuzi.
10 Hagi kagrane mofavre naga ka'ane, kagehe'inena nezmavrenka, sipisipine, meme kevune, bulimakao kevune, mika feno zanka'anena enerinka enka nagri tvaonte Goseni mopare emanigahane.
Uzahlala esigodini saseGosheni ube seduze lami, wena labantwabakho, labazukulu bakho; lemihlambi yakho yezimvu leyenkomo lakho konke olakho.
11 Anantega emani'nenage'na 5fu'a agatontoma hu kafumofo agu'afina, nagra ne'zana tamigahue. Hagi kagrane, mika nonka'afima mani'naza vahe'taminema omesutma tamunte omnena tamagaku hugahaze.
Ngizakunakekela ukhonapho ngoba kuseza eminye iminyaka emihlanu yendlala. Kungenjalo wena lomuzi wakho, labo bonke abangabakho lizahawukelwa.’
12 Hanki keho, tamagra negageno nagana'nimo Benzameni enena negege'na, nagra'a nagipinti Josefe'na ama kea tamagrira neramasmue.
Liyazibonela ngokwenu, njengoba lomnawami uBhenjamini ebona, ukuthi yimi mina ngeqiniso engikhuluma lani.
13 Hagi Isipi mopafima ra nagima eri'na mani'noa zankue'ene, mika knare'zama Isipi me'negeta kaza zamofo nenekea nenfana ome nesamita, ko ame' hutma avreta kama eho.
Limtshele ubaba ngalo lonke udumo engiluphiwayo eGibhithe langakho konke elikubonileyo. Ubaba limlethe ngokuphangisa lapha.”
14 Anante negna Benzameni anankempi ome azeri anukino zavi atentegeno, Benzameni'a ana zanke huno zavi ate'ne.
Wasegona umnawakhe uBhenjamini, wakhala, loBhenjamini wamanga ekhala.
15 Josefe'a miko nefugizmi zamantako nehuno zavi atezamantetege'za, henka nefu'zane keaga hu'naze.
Njalo wabanga bonke abafowabo ekhala kulowo lalowo. Ngemva kwalokho abafowabo baxoxa laye.
16 Josefena nefu'za e'naze kema, Fero'ene eri'za vahe'amozanena nentahiza muse hu'naze.
Kwathi ukuba izindaba zifike esigodlweni sikaFaro ukuthi abafowabo bakaJosefa babefikile, uFaro lezikhulu zakhe bathokoza.
17 Anante Fero'a Josefenkura anage hunka negfu'gizmia zamasamio hu'ne, Kutuntamia donki afu agumpi erinteta avreta Kenani moparega viho,
UFaro wathi, kuJosefa, “Tshela abafowenu uthi, ‘Yenzani lokhu: Thwalisani izinyamazana zenu libuyele elizweni laseKhenani,
18 vutma neramafane maka nontamifima nemaniza vahe'ene zamavareta nagrite enke'na, so'e mopa Isipi nagra tami'nena anampi maniho.
beselibuya loyihlo kanye lemizi yenu kimi. Ngizalipha umhlaba omuhle kakhulu lapha eGibhithe, likholise amanono elizwe.’
19 Menina nagra huneramantoe, karisia Isipiti erita vuta osi mofavre tamine, a'ne tamine, nermafanena ome avreta eho.
Uyalaywa njalo ukuthi ubatshele uthi, ‘Yenzani lokhu: Thathani izinqola ezithile lapha eGibhithe lisenzela abantwabenu, labomkenu, lithathe uyihlo lize laye.
20 Tamagra miko zantamigura tamagesa ontahiho, Isipi moparetira knare'za erigahaze.
Lingazihluphi ngempahla zenu ngoba okuhle konke kwaseGibhithe kuzakuba ngokwenu.’”
21 Hige'za Israeli amohe'za Fero'ma ke'ma zamasmiaza nehazageno, Fero'ma asamia kante anteno Josefe'a karisia nezamino, kantegama nemema vanaza ne'zanena zami'ne.
Ngakho amadodana ka-Israyeli akwenza lokhu. UJosefa wabapha izinqola, njengokulaya kukaFaro, wabuye wabapha umphako wendlela.
22 Mago mago'mofona Josefe'a magoke kukena amitere nehuno, Benzamenina 5fu'a kukenagi, 300'a silva zagone ami'ne.
Ngulowo lalowo wamupha izigqoko ezintsha, kodwa uBhenjamini wamupha amashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amathathu kanye lezigqoko ezinhlanu.
23 Nefana ama'a zantami antente'ne, 10ni'a donkimofo agumpina Isipi mopafima knare'nare zantamima me'nea zantamina eri antenenteno, 10ni'a donkimofo agumpi witi rgaramine, raisi rgaramine (grain) nezmino, nezmafa kantega ne-eno neme esia kave'enena antentege'za eri'za vu'naze.
Njalo nanku akuphathisela uyise: obabhemi abalitshumi bethwele konke okuhle kwaseGibhithe, labobabhemi abasikazi abalitshumi bebhensiswa ngamabele lesinkwa lokunye okomphako wakhe wendlela.
24 Anante Josefe'a huzmantege'za atre'za vu'za nehazageno, anage huno zamasmi'ne, Kantegama nevuta ha' fra osiho!
Wasevalelisa abafowabo, bathi sebesuka wathi kubo, “Lingaxabani endleleni!”
25 Hagi zamagra Isipitira e'za Kenani mopare nezmafa Jekopunte ehanati'naze.
Ngakho basuka baphuma eGibhithe bayafika kuyise uJakhobe elizweni laseKhenani.
26 Zamagra anage hu'za nezmafana eme asmi'naze, Josefe'a ofri amne mani'ne, tamage agra Isipi mopa miko kegava kri'ne, nehazageno ana kegura agesa tra'nereno antahi ozami'ne.
Bamtshela bathi, “UJosefa ulokhu ephila! Isibili ungumbusi walo lonke elaseGibhithe.” UJakhobe waphela amandla; kazange abakholwe.
27 Hianagi zamagra mika ke Josefe'ma huzmante'nea kea, nezmafa eme nesmizageno nentahino, karisima negeno'a, nezmafa Jekopu agu'amo'a kasefa higeno muse hu'ne.
Kodwa kwathi lapho sebemtshelile konke uJosefa ayekutshilo kubo, njalo esebone izinqola uJosefa ayethe zizomthwala zimlethe, umoya kayise, uJakhobe wavuseleleka.
28 Anante Israeli'a anage hu'ne, ha knarere, mofavrenimo'a ofri amne mani'ne. Nagra vu'na ome kete'na henka frigahue.
U-Israyeli wathi, “Sengisuthisekile! Indodana yami uJosefa isaphila. Ngizahamba ngiyeyibona ngingakafi.”
