1 Anante Josefe'a nefa avugosafi umseno, zavi atenenteno antako hunte'ne.

UJosefa wasewela phezu kobuso bukayise, wakhala inyembezi phezu kwakhe, wamanga.

2 Henka Josefe'a fri kerfare kva nehia eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za, kehiaza hu'za avufgamo'ma kasri'zanku agu'afina mago'a marasini nente'za eri so'e hute'za, Israelina (Jekopu) masave fre'za ante'naze.

UJosefa waselaya inceku zakhe abelaphi ukuthi baqhole uyise ngomuthi; labelaphi bamqhola uIsrayeli ngomuthi.

3 40'a zage gnafi e'i anazana huga hazankino, ana foti'a zagegnafina avufga eri so'e hu'naze. Ana hazageno Isipi vahe'mo'za 70'a zagegnafi zamasunku hu'za zavira ate'naze.

Zagcwaliseka kuye insuku ezingamatshumi amane, ngoba ngokunjalo zazigcwaliseka insuku zabaqholwe ngomuthi. LamaGibhithe amlilela insuku ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.

4 Anante zavi'ma atekna agateregeno, Josefe'a anage huno Fero nompi eri'za vahera zamasmi'ne, Tamagra menima nagri'ma antahi namisuta muse huramantoanki, Ferona amanage huta ome asmiho,

Kwathi sezidlulile insuku zokumkhalela, uJosefa wakhuluma lendlu kaFaro esithi: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni enu, ake likhulume endlebeni zikaFaro, lisithi:

5 Nenfa'a huvempa ke hunanteno amanage hu'ne, nagra ha fri'za huanki, nagrama Kenani mopafi kerigama kafinte'nofi anantega ome asenantegahane. Anage hu'negu natrege'na avufga'a eri'na mareri'na ome asentete'na, ete a'neno.

Ubaba wangifungisa esithi: Khangela, ngiyafa; engcwabeni engazigebhela lona elizweni leKhanani, lapho ungingcwabe. Khathesi-ke, ake ngenyuke ngiyengcwaba ubaba, besengibuya.

6 Higeno Fero'a amanage hu'ne, Anagamu vunka negafa'ma huvempa huno kasmi'neaza hunka ome asento.

UFaro wasesithi: Yenyuka uyengcwaba uyihlo njengokukufungisa kwakhe.

7 Hagi Josefe'a nefa asenteku anagamu marerigeno, Fero eri'za vahe'mo'zane, noma'afi kva vahe'ene, mika Isipi mopafi kva vahe'ene,

UJosefa wasesenyuka ukuyangcwaba uyise, kwenyuka kanye laye zonke izinceku zikaFaro, abadala bendlu yakhe, labo bonke abadala belizwe leGibhithe,

8 mika Josefe naga'ene, nefu'zane, nefa naga'enena vu'naze. Hianagi osi mofavre naga'zmine afu kevu zaminena Goseni mopafi zamatre'za vu'naze.

lendlu yonke kaJosefa, labafowabo, lendlu kayise; kuphela abantwana babo abancinyane lezimvu zabo lenkomo zabo bakutshiya elizweni leGosheni.

9 Anama Josefe'enema vu'nazana rama'a sondia vahe'ene vu'nazankino, mago'a karisifi maniza nevazageno, mago'a hosi agumpifi mani'za vu'naze.

Kwasekusenyuka kanye laye konke izinqola labagadi bamabhiza, kwaba liviyo elinzima kakhulu.

10 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za vu'za Jordani timofo kantu kaziga ankenarega, witi honama neharaza kumate Atadi umani'naze. Anante 7ni'a zage gna zamagra umanine'za, zamagrama zamavuzmavapima nehazaza hu'za, nezmanfankura tusi zavi ate'naze.

Kwathi sebefike esizeni seAtadi, eliphetsheya kweJordani, balila khona, isililo esikhulu lesinzima kakhulu, bamenzela uyise isililo insuku eziyisikhombisa.

11 Ana mopafima nemaniza Kenani vahe'mo'za kazama witi akru neharaza kumate Atadi mani''neza zavi netage'za nezmage'za anage hu'naze. Ama'i Isipi vahe'mo'za tusi'a zavi atetere, nehu'za agi'a Abel-mizraim hu'nazankino, zage hanati kaziga Jodani me'ne.

Kwathi abakhileyo belizwe, amaKhanani, bebona ukulila esizeni seAtadi, bathi: Lesi yisililo esinzima samaGibhithe. Ngakho basebesitha ibizo laso iAbeli-Mizirayimi, eliphetsheya kweJordani.

12 Hagi Jekopu mofavre naga'mo'za nezmafa'ma zmasami'neaza hu'naze.

Amadodana akhe asemenzela njalo njengalokhu ewalayile;

13 Agri mofavre'mo'za kerfa'a eri'za Kenani mopafi vu'za, Makapela havegampi Mamre kuma tvaonte ome asente'naze, ko'ma Abrahamu'ma vahe asente mopae huno Hiti ne' Efroninteti, miza hu'nea mopafi asente'naze.

ngoba amadodana akhe amthwalela elizweni leKhanani, amngcwaba obhalwini lwensimu yeMakaphela, uAbrahama aluthenga lensimu, lube yindawo yakhe yokungcwabela, kuEfroni umHethi, eqondane leMamre.

14 Ana'ma huno Josefe'ma nefama asentetege'za, afuhe'zane nefama asenteku mareri'naza vahe'ene maka ete Isipi moparega vu'naze.

UJosefa wasebuyela eGibhithe, yena labafowabo labo bonke abenyuka laye ukuyangcwaba uyise, esemngcwabile uyise.

15 Hagi nezmafa'ma fritege'za, Josefe nefu'za anage hu'naze, tagrama havizama hunte'nona nona'a, tagrira na'a hurantegahie?

Kwathi abafowabo bakaJosefa sebebonile ukuthi uyise usefile bathi: Mhlawumbe uJosefa uzasizonda, ngoqotho asiphindisele ububi bonke esabenza kuye.

16 Nehu'za zamagra Josefena ke atrente'za anange hu'naze, Negafa'a frinaku nehuno,

Basebenika isilayezelo kuJosefa besithi: Uyihlo walaya engakafi, esithi:

17 anage huta Josefena asmiho hu'ne, muse (plis) hugantoanki, havi avu'ava hugante'nazana kumi zamia atre'zmanto. Menina muse (plis) hugantoanki, negafa Anumzamofo eri'za vahe'mota havi avu'ava hugante'none. Ana kema Josefe'ma nentahino'a zavi ate'ne.

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 Anante afuhe'za e'za Josefe avuga zamugosaregati umase'za anage hu'naze, Antahio, tagra kagri kazokazo eri'za vahere.

Labafowabo labo beza, bawa phansi phambi kwakhe, bathi: Khangela, siyizinceku zakho.

19 Hianagi Josefe'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, korora osiho, nagra Anumzana omani'nogu keaga huoramantegahue.

Kodwa uJosefa wathi kibo: Lingesabi, ngoba kanti ngisendaweni kaNkulunkulu yini?

20 Tamagra nagrira nazeri haviza hu'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a rama'a vahe zamaza hunaku nentahino anara hu'neankino, menina ana zamo'a fore nehie.

Kodwa lina laceba okubi kimi, uNkulunkulu waceba ngokuhle, ukuze enze njengalamuhla, ukuze alondoloze abantu abanengi bephila.

21 E'ina hu'negu tamagra korora osiho, nagra tamagri'ene, neone mofavre naga'enena tamazeri knare hugahue. Nehuno zamanukige antege nehuno, knare kegaga huzami'ne.

Khathesi-ke lingesabi; mina ngizalondla lina labantwanyana benu. Wasebaduduza, wakhuluma labo ngomusa.

22 Hagi Josefe'a Isipi mopare afu aganahezane mani'neno, 110ni'a zagegafu hu'ne.

UJosefa wasehlala eGibhithe, yena lendlu kayise. Njalo uJosefa waphila iminyaka elikhulu letshumi.

23 Efraemi mofavremo mofavre antegeno negeno, Manase ne'mofavre'mo Makiri mofavre antegeno Josefe'a amote zamavarenteno keteno fri'ne.

UJosefa wasebona abantwana bakaEfrayimi abesizukulwana sesithathu; labantwana bakaMakiri indodana kaManase bazalelwa emadolweni kaJosefa.

24 Josefe'a amanage huno afuhe'ina zamasmi'ne, Nagra fri'za hue, Anumzamo tamagrira kegava huneramanteno, tamavreno ama mopafintira marerino Abrahamuma, Aisakima, Jekopuma huvempa huzmante'nea mopare vugahie.

UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo: Ngiyafa, kodwa uNkulunkulu uzalihambela isibili, alenyuse kulelilizwe alise elizweni alifungela oAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe.

25 Anante Josefe'a Israeli ne'mofavre nagara amanage huno huvempa huno zamasmi'ne, Anumzamo tamagrira kegava huramante'nena zaferinani'a erita mareriho.

UJosefa wafungisa amadodana kaIsrayeli esithi: UNkulunkulu uzalihambela isibili, njalo lizakwenyusa amathambo ami asuke lapha.

26 Hagi Josefe'a 110ni'a zagegafu maniteno frige'za, avufgamo'ma kasrizanku agu'afina mago'a marasini ante'za eri so'e hute'za masave freza, zavoafi eri antageno Isipi mopafi me'ne.

UJosefa wasesifa, eleminyaka elikhulu letshumi; basebemqhola ngomuthi, wafakwa ebhokisini eGibhithe.
