1 Awo enjala bwe yayinga obungi mu nsi,

Zvino nzara yakanga ichakanyanya munyika.

2 era nga ne mmere gye baggya e Misiri yonna eriiriddwa, kitaabwe n’abagamba nti mugende mutugulire emmere.

Saka vakati vadya zviyo zvose zvavakanga vabva nazvo kuIjipiti, baba vavo vakati kwavari, “Dzokerai mundotitengera zvimwe zvokudya.”

3 Naye Yuda n’amuddamu nti, “Omusajja yatukuutirira ddala ng’agamba nti, ‘Temulinyanga ekigere mu maaso gange nga temuzze na muganda wammwe.’

Asi Judha akati kwavari, “Murume uya akatiyambira kwazvo akati, ‘Hamungazooni chiso changuzve kunze kwokunge mununʼuna wenyu auya nemi.’

4 Bw’onokkiriza tuserengete ne muganda waffe okugula emmere, olwo tunaagenda.

Kana mukaendesa mununʼuna wedu nesu, tichaenda kundokutengerai zvokudya.

5 Naye bw’otomukkirize kugenda naffe, tetujja kuserengeta, kubanga omusajja yatugamba nti, ‘Temugenda kulaba maaso gange nga muganda wammwe tali nammwe.’”

Asi kana mukasamuendesa, hatingatongoendi, nokuti murume uya akati, ‘Hamungazooni chiso changuzve kunze kwokunge mununʼuna wenyu auya nemi.’”

6 Isirayiri kwe kubaddamu nti, “Mwankola ki kino eky’obubalagaze ne mugamba omusajja nti mulina muganda wammwe omulala.”

Israeri akabvunza akati, “Seiko makauyisa dambudziko iri pamusoro pangu zvamakaudza murume uyu kuti muno mumwe mununʼuna?”

7 Ne bagamba nti, “Omusajja yatubuuza nnyo ebitufaako awamu n’ebifa ku lulyo lwaffe, ng’abuuza nti, ‘Kitammwe gyali mulamu? Mulina muganda wammwe omulala?’ Kye twamutegeeza nga kiddamu buzzi ebibuuzo bye yatubuuzanga. Tetwamanya ng’anaatugamba okuserengesa muganda waffe.”

Ivo vakapindura vakati, “Murume uyu akatibvunzisisa kwazvo nezvedu uye nezvemhuri yedu. Akati, ‘Baba venyu vachiri vapenyu here? Muno mumwe mununʼuna here?’ Takangopindura mubvunzo wake zvakanaka. Ko, taiziva sei kuti aizoti, ‘Uyai nomununʼuna wenyu kuno?’”

8 Era Yuda n’agamba Isirayiri kitaawe nti, “Mpa omulenzi tulyoke tugende tube balamu, tuleme okufa enjala, ffe naawe n’abaana baffe.

Ipapo Judha akati kuna Israeri baba vake, “Tumai mukomana pamwe chete neni tibve taenda izvozvi, kuitira kuti isu nemi navana vedu tirarame uye tirege kufa.

9 Nze newaddeyo okumukuuma, olimubuuza nze. Bwe sirikumuddiza, ne mussa mu maaso go mbeereko omusango ennaku zonna.

Ini pachangu ndichava rubatso rwokuchengetedzeka kwake; musiyei muruoko rwangu pachangu. Kana ndikasadzoka naye kwamuri ndikamumisa pamberi penyu, ini ndichava nemhosva pamberi penyu muupenyu hwangu hwose.

10 Kubanga singa tetwalwa twandibadde tukomyewo omulundi ogwokubiri.”

Izvozvi dai tisina kunonoka, tingadai takatoenda uye takatodzoka kaviri kwose.”

11 Awo Isirayiri kitaabwe n’abagamba nti, “Bwe kinaaba bwe kityo, kale mukole bwe muti: mutwale ebimu ku bibala bya muno mu nsawo zammwe, mutwalire omusajja ekirabo: envumbo ntono, n’omubisi, n’omugavu, n’obubaane ne mooli n’ebinyeebwa ne Alumoni.

Ipapo baba vavo Israeri vakati kwavari, “Kana zvakadaro, itai izvi zvino: Isai zvimwe zvibereko zvemichero yenyika ino zvakaisvonaka mumasaga enyu uye mugoenda nazvo sezvipo kumurume uyo, bharimu shoma shoma, nouchi hushoma shoma, zvinonhuhwira nemura, nzungu dzomupistakio namaarimondi.

12 Mutwale n’ensimbi za mirundi ebiri nga mutwala na ziri ezaali ku mimwa gye nsawo zammwe, osanga omuntu yakola nsobi.

Mutakure mari yakapetwa kaviri, nokuti munofanira kudzorera mari yakanga yadzoserwa pamiromo yamasaga enyu. Zvichida kwaiva kukanganisa.

13 Mutwale ne muganda wammwe, musituke muddeyo eri omusajja.

Toraiwo mununʼuna wenyu mudzokere izvozvi kumunhu uyo.

14 Katonda Ayinzabyonna abawe omukisa mu maaso g’omusajja, alyoke aleke muganda wammwe oli awamu ne Benyamini bakomewo. Obanga obulumi bw’okufa kw’abaana bange bulintuukako, kale.”

Uye Mwari Wamasimba Ose ngaakunzwirei ngoni pamberi pomunhu uyo kuitira kuti asunungure mumwe mununʼuna wenyu naBhenjamini uye vagodzokazve nemi. Kana ndirini, kana ndafirwa navana vangu, ndafirwa hangu.”

15 Awo ne batwala ebirabo n’ensimbi za mirundi ebiri, ne Benyamini ne baserengeta naye e Misiri ne bayimirira mu maaso ga Yusufu.

Saka varume vakatora zvipo nemari yakapetwa kaviri, naBhenjaminiwo. Vakakurumidza kuburuka kuIjipiti vakandozviratidza kuna Josefa.

16 Awo Yusufu bwe yalaba nga bali ne Benyamini n’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Bayingize mu nnyumba, otte ensolo ofumbe ekijjulo, kubanga abasajja abo baakulya nange ekyemisana.”

Josefa akati achiona Bhenjamini anavo, akati kuvatariri veimba yake, “Torai varume ava muende navo kumba kwangu, muuraye chipfuwo mugogadzira zvokudya; vanofanira kudya neni masikati ano.”

17 Omusajja n’akola nga Yusufu bwe yamulagira, n’ayingiza abasajja mu nnyumba ya Yusufu.

Varume vakaita sezvavakanga vaudzwa naJosefa vakabva vatora varume vaya vakaenda navo kumba kwaJosefa.

18 Abasajja ne batya olw’okutwalibwa mu nnyumba ya Yusufu, ne bagamba nti kino kizze lwa nsimbi ezatuddizibwa ne ziteekebwa mu nsawo zaffe omulundi guli, kyetuvudde tuleetebwa wano, anoonye ensonga ku ffe atuvunaane, atufuule abaddu awambe n’endogoyi zaffe.

Zvino varume vaya vakatya pavakatorwa vakaendwa navo kumba kwake. Vakafunga vakati, “Tauyiswa muno nokuda kwemari iya yakadzoserwa mumasaga edu panguva yokutanga. Anoda kutirwisa, agotikunda, agotisunga senhapwa uye agotora mbongoro dzedu.”

19 Awo ne bambuka n’omuweereza mu nnyumba ya Yusufu,

Saka vakaenda kumutariri waJosefa vakandotaura naye pamukova wokupinda mumba make.

20 ne bagamba nti Ayi mukama waffe, twajja omulundi ogwasooka okugula emmere,

Vakati kwaari, “Tapota ishe, takauya kuno panguva yokutanga kuti tizotenga zvokudya.

21 bwe twatuuka mu kifo we twasula, ne tusumulula ensawo zaffe, nga mu buli kamwa k’ensawo ya buli omu mulimu ensimbi ze ezaali ez’okugula emmere, kyetuvudde tuzizza,

Asi patakamira pane imwe nzvimbo usiku, takazarura masaga edu uye mumwe nomumwe wedu akawana mari yake iri pamuromo wesaga, iyo mari yacho yose zvayo. Saka tadzoka nayo.

22 era tuleese n’endala olw’okugula emmere. Tetumanyi yateeka nsimbi mu nsawo zaffe.

Tauyawo neimwe mari yokuti tizotenga zvokudya. Hatizivi akaisa mari yedu mumasaga edu.”

23 Ye n’abaddamu nti, “Mubeere bagumu temutya. Katonda wammwe era Katonda wa kitammwe ye yabateekera obugagga mu nsawo zammwe; ensimbi zammwe nazifuna.” Awo kwe kubaleetera Simyoni.

Iye akati, “Zvakanakai. Musatya henyu Mwari wenyu, iye Mwari wababa venyu, ndiye akakupai pfuma mumasaga enyu, ini ndakagamuchira mari yenyu.” Ipapo akabudisa Simeoni akamuuyisa kwavari.

24 Omusajja bwe yamala okuyingiza abasajja abo mu nnyumba ya Yusufu, nga bamaze n’okunaaba ebigere, ng’amaze n’okuliisa endogoyi zaabwe,

Mutariri uya akauyisa varume vaya mumba maJosefa, akavapa mvura kuti vashambe tsoka dzavo uye akapa mbongoro dzavo zvokudya.

25 ne bateekateeka ekirabo kya Yusufu bakimuwe mu ttuntu, kubanga baamanya nga bajja kuliira eyo.

Vakagadzira zvipo zvokupa Josefa pakusvika kwake masikati, nokuti vakanga vanzwa kuti vachandodya ikoko.

26 Yusufu bwe yakomawo eka ne bamuleetera ekirabo kye baalina ne bamuvuunamira.

Josefa akati auya kumba, ivo vakamupa zvipo zvavakanga vapinda nazvo mumba, uye vakakotamira pasi kwaari.

27 N’ababuuza bwe bali, n’ababuuza nti, “Kitammwe akyali mulamu bulungi?”

Akavabvunza mufaro, uye akati, “Vakadii baba venyu, mutana, vamakandiudza nezvavo? Vachiri vapenyu here?”

28 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ssebo, kitaffe akyali mulamu era ali bulungi.” Ne bavuunama mu bukkakkamu.

Vakapindura vakati, “Muranda wenyu, ivo baba vedu vachiri vapenyu uye vanofara.” Uye vakakotama pasi kuti vamuremekedze.

29 Yusufu bwe yayimusa amaaso, n’alaba Benyamini muganda we, mutabani wa nnyina. N’ababuuza nti, “Ono ye muto wammwe gwe mwantegeezako? Katonda akuwe omukisa mwana wange.”

Paakatarisa-tarisa akaona mununʼuna wake Bhenjamini, mwanakomana wamai vake chaiye, akabvunza akati, “Uyu ndiye mununʼuna wenyu gotwe, wamakandiudza nezvake here?” Uye akati, “Mwari akuitire nyasha, mwanakomana wangu.”

30 Awo Yusufu n’ayanguwa okuva mu maaso gaabwe, kubanga omutima gwe gwalumwa olwa muganda we, n’anoonya ekifo w’anaakabira. N’alinnya mu kisenge kye n’akaabira eyo.

Adumbirwa pakuona kwake mununʼuna wake, Josefa akakurumidza kubuda uye akatsvaka nzvimbo paangachema ari. Akapinda muimba yake yomukati akandochema ari imomo.

31 N’anaaba amaziga n’afuluma, n’aguma n’alagira emmere egabwe.

Shure kwokushamba uso hwake, akabuda uye akazvidzora, akati “Pakurai zvokudya.”

32 Ye ne bamuwa eyiye yekka, ne baganda be bokka, n’Abamisiri abalya naye nabo ne bagabulwa bokka, kubanga Abamisiri tebalyanga n’Abaebulaniya, kubanga kyali kivve eri Abamisiri.

Vakamupakurira ari oga, madzikoma vari voga, uye vaIjipita vaidya naye vari voga, nokuti vaIjipita vakanga vasingagoni kudya pamwe chete navaHebheru, nokuti zvinonyangadza kuvaIjipita.

33 Awo baganda ba Yusufu ne batuula mu maaso ge nga baddiriŋŋana okuva ku mukulu mu buzaale bwabwe okutuuka ku muto; ne batunulaganako nga beewuunya.

Varume vakanga vakagariswa pamberi pake zvaienderana namazera avo, kubva kudangwe kusvikira kugotwe; uye vakatarisana zvikavakatyamadza.

34 Yusufu n’abakoleza ebitole okuva ku mmeeza ye, naye ekitole kya Benyamini ne kisinga ekya baganda be emirundi etaano. Bwe batyo ne balya ne basanyukira wamu ne Yusufu.

Pavakagoverwa migove kubva patafura yaJosefa, mugove waBhenjamini wakanga wakawanda kashanu kupinda ani zvake pakati pavo. Saka vakadya nokunwa naye vakasununguka.
