1 Awo Yusufu n’agenda eri Falaawo n’amugamba nti, “Kitange ne baganda bange n’amagana gaabwe n’ebisibo byabwe ne byonna bye balina bazze nga bava mu Kanani; kaakano bali Goseni.”
Pea haʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻo fakahā kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu ʻeku tamai mo hoku ngaahi kāinga mo ʻenau fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu, mo ʻenau meʻa kotoa pē, mei he fonua ko Kēnani; pea vakai ʻoku nau ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.”
2 Yalondako bataano ku baganda be, n’agenda nabo ewa Falaawo.
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae niʻihi ʻo hono ngaahi tokoua, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima, ʻo ne fakahā ʻakinautolu kia Felo.
3 Falaawo n’ababuuza nti, “Omulimu gwammwe mulimu ki?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Abaweereza bo tuli balunzi nga bajjajjaffe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Felo ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Ko e hā hoʻomou faiva?” Pea nau talaange kia Felo, “Ko e tauhi sipi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai foki.”
4 Tuzze muno kunoonyeza bisibo byaffe muddo, kubanga abaddu bo tuva mu njala mpitirivu eri mu Kanani; ne kaakano abaddu bo tukusaba tubeere e Goseni.”
Pea naʻa nau pehē foki kia Felo, “Kuo mau haʻu ke mau ʻāunofo ʻi he fonua; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ha meʻakai ki heʻemau fanga manu; he kuo lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ko ia ʻoku mau kole ai tuku ke nofo ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.”
5 Awo Falaawo n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Kitaawo ne baganda bo bazze gy’oli.
Pea lea ʻa Felo kia Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu kiate koe ʻa hoʻo tamai mo ho ngaahi kāinga:
6 Ensi y’e Misiri gw’ogirinako obuyinza, teeka kitaawo ne baganda bo awasinga obulungi; bateeke e Goseni. Era obanga omanyi asobola mu bo muwe akuume ente zange.”
‌ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite; ʻi he potu lelei ʻoe fonua, ke ke tuku ke nofo ai hoʻo tamai mo ho ngaahi tokoua: tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua ko Koseni: pea kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo ha kau tangata poto ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke fakanofo ʻakinautolu ke nau puleʻi ʻeku fanga manu.”
7 Awo Yusufu n’ayingiza Yakobo, kitaawe n’amwanjula eri Falaawo. Yakobo n’asabira Falaawo omukisa.
Pea ʻomi ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai ko Sēkope, ʻo tuku ia ki he ʻao ʻo Felo; pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sēkope ʻa Felo.
8 Falaawo n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Olina emyaka emeka?”
Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa Felo, kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fiha ho taʻu?”
9 Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Emyaka egy’olugendo lwange mu nsi giri kikumi mu amakumi asatu; emyaka gyange gibadde mitono era mizibu; siwangadde nga bajjajjange.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Felo, “Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe taʻu ʻo hoku fononga, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu: kuo siʻi mo kovi pe ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻeku moʻui, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai aʻu ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻoe moʻui ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo honau fononga.”
10 Olwo Yakobo n’asabira Falaawo omukisa n’ava mu maaso ga Falaawo.
Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sēkope ʻa Felo, pea ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo Felo.
11 Awo Yusufu n’asenza kitaawe ne baganda be e Misiri, n’abawa ekitundu ekyali kisinga obulungi eky’e Goseni, mu Disitulikiti ey’e Lamusesi nga Falaawo bwe yalagira.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai mo hono ngaahi tokoua ʻo ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae nofoʻanga ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he potu lelei ʻi he fonua ko Lamesisi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Felo.
12 Yusufu n’awa kitaawe ne baganda be n’ab’ennyumba ya kitaawe emmere ng’omuwendo gw’abaana baabwe bwe gwali.
Pea naʻe tauhi ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai, mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo e kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ʻaki ʻae mā, ʻo fakatatau mo honau ngaahi ʻapi.
13 Awo emmere n’eggwa mu kitundu ekyo kyonna kubanga enjala yayitirira obungi, ne kireetera ensi y’e Misiri ne Kanani okukosebwa ennyo.
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha mā ʻi he fonua kotoa; he naʻe lahi ʻae honge, pea naʻe vaivai ʻae fonua kotoa ʻo ʻIsipite, mo Kēnani, koeʻuhi ko e honge.
14 Yusufu n’akuŋŋaanya ensimbi zonna ezaali mu Misiri ne mu Kanani ng’abaguza emmere; n’azireeta mu lubiri lwa Falaawo.
Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Siosefa ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite, mo e fonua ko Kēnani, ko e totongi ʻoe koane naʻa nau fakatau; pea ʻomi ʻe Siosefa ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ki he fale ʻo Felo.
15 Awo ensimbi bwe zaggwa ku bantu b’e Misiri ne Kanani ne bajja eri Yusufu ne bamugamba nti, “Tuwe emmere. Ensimbi zituweddeko. Lwaki tufa?”
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo e fonua ko Kēnani, pea haʻu ʻae kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē kia Siosefa ʻo nau pehē, “Tuku mai haʻamau mā; he ko e hā te mau mate ai ʻi ho ʻao? He kuo ʻikai ha paʻanga.”
16 Yusufu n’abagamba nti, “Kale obanga ensimbi zibaweddeko mundeetere ensolo zammwe mbaguze emmere.”
Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa, “Tuku mai hoʻomou fanga manu: pea te u ʻatu ʻae mā koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻo kapau kuo ʻosi ʻae paʻanga.”
17 Awo ne bamuleetera amagana g’ensolo zaabwe, omwali embalaasi, n’endiga, n’ente, n’endogoyi, okubiwaanyisaamu emmere; emmere eyo n’ebayisa mu mwaka ogwo.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻenau fanga manu kia Siosefa; pea ʻatu ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu ʻae mā, ko e fetongi ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi mo e fanga sipi, mo ʻenau fanga manu lalahi mo e fanga ʻasi; pea ne fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he taʻu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fanga manu.
18 Omwaka ogwo bwe gwaggwaako, ne bajja eri Yusufu mu mwaka ogwaddirira ne bamugamba nti, “Tetuukukise mukama waffe, ensimbi zituweddeko n’ensolo zaffe zifuuse zizo tewali kye tusigazza, wabula emibiri gyaffe gino n’ebyalo byaffe.
Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae taʻu ko ia, pea nau toe haʻu kia Siosefa ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, ʻo nau pehē kiate ia, “E ʻikai te mau fakafufū mei homauʻeiki, kuo ʻosi ʻemau paʻanga; pea kuo maʻu foki ʻe homauʻeiki ʻemau fanga manu: ʻoku ʻikai toe ha meʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo homauʻeiki, ka ko homau sino pe mo homau ngaahi fonua.
19 Tufiira ki nga w’oli? Tugule ffe n’ebyalo byaffe otuwe emmere tuleme okufa, naffe tuliba baddu ba Falaawo, ensi yaffe ereme okuzikirira.”
Ko e hā te mau mate ai ʻi ho ʻao, ʻakimautolu mo homau fonua? Ke ke fakatau ʻakimautolu mo homau fonua ʻaki ʻae mā, pea te mau hoko, mo homau fonua, ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Felo; pea tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tenga, koeʻuhi ke mau moʻui, kae ʻikai mate, pea ke ʻoua naʻa lala ʻae fonua.”
20 Bw’atyo Yusufu n’agulira Falaawo ensi yonna ey’e Misiri. Abamisiri kinoomu, bonna ne batunda ebyalo byabwe kubanga enjala yali mpitirivu, ensi yonna n’efuuka ya Falaawo.
Pea naʻe fakatau ʻe Siosefa ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsipite, kia Felo; he naʻe taki taha fakatau ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻa ʻene ngoue; he koeʻuhi naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he honge; pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Felo ʻae fonua kotoa pē.
21 Bwe batyo n’abantu baamu okuva ku njuyi zonna ne bafuuka baddu ba Falaawo.
Pea koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi kolo mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha.
22 Ekitundu kya bakabona kye kyokka ky’ataagula, kubanga bo baasasulwanga Falaawo. Kye yabasasulanga kwe beeguliranga ebyokulya; bo kyebaava batatunda ttaka lyabwe.
Ka ko e fonua ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatau; he naʻe ʻatu ʻae ʻinasi ki he kau taulaʻeiki meia Felo, pea naʻa nau kai ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Felo kiate kinautolu; ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau fakatau honau fonua.
23 Awo Yusufu n’agamba abantu nti, “Mulabe, olwa leero mbaguze mmwe n’ebyalo byammwe; mbagulidde Falaawo. Kale kaakano ensigo zino zammwe munaazisiga.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ki he kakai, “Vakai, kuo u fakatau ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni, mo homou fonua, maʻa Felo: vakai mai, ko e tenga eni kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou tūtuuʻi ʻaki ʻae fonua.
24 Bwe mulikungula, muliwa Falaawo ekitundu kimu kyakutaano, ebitundu bina bya kutaano biriba byammwe, okuba ensigo mu nnimiro zammwe, n’emmere ku lwammwe n’ab’ennyumba zammwe n’abaana bammwe.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono tupu te mou ʻomi hono vahe nima kia Felo, ka ko e vahe ʻe fā ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia, ko e tenga ki hoʻomou ngoue, mo e meʻakai kiate kimoutolu, mo kinautolu ʻi homou kau nofoʻanga, mo e meʻakai ki hoʻomou fānau.”
25 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Otuwonyezza okufa; mukama waffe bw’anaasiima tuliba baddu ba Falaawo.”
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo fakahaofi ʻemau moʻui; ʻofa ke mau ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻo homauʻeiki, pea mau nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Felo.
26 Awo Yusufu n’ateeka etteeka erikwata ku ttaka mu nsi y’e Misiri; weeliri n’okutuusa kaakano, nti ekitundu kimu kyakutaano kiba musolo gwa Falaawo; ettaka ly’abakabona lyokka lye litaafuuka lya Falaawo.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe Siosefa ko e fono ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻe Felo hono vahe nima; ka naʻe ʻikai pehē ki he fonua ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻe Felo.”
27 Bw’atyo Isirayiri n’abantu be ne babeera mu nsi y’e Misiri, mu Goseni, ne bagaggawalira mu kitundu ekyo. Baazaala ne baala nnyo.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻi he fonua ko Koseni; pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fonua, pea naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito.
28 Yakobo n’amala mu Misiri emyaka kkumi na musanvu. Bw’atyo Yakobo n’awangaala emyaka kikumi mu ana mu musanvu.
Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Sēkope ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu; pea ko e taʻu kotoa pē ʻo Sēkope, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma fitu.
29 Ekiseera eky’okufa kwa Isirayiri bwe kyali kisembedde, n’ayita mutabani we Yusufu n’amugamba nti, “Obanga nfunye ekisa mu maaso go teeka omukono gwo wansi w’ekisambi kyange, ondayirire ng’onompulira n’otonkuusakuusa: tonziikanga mu Misiri,
Pea naʻe ofi ʻae ʻaho ke pekia ai ʻa ʻIsileli; pea ui ia ke haʻu hono foha ko Siosefa, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke ʻai ho nima ʻi hoku lalo tenga, mo ke fai angalelei mo moʻoni kiate au; ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke tanu au ʻi ʻIsipite.
30 onteekanga wamu ne bajjajjange. Olintwala n’onziika ku butaka.” Yusufu n’amuddamu nti, “Ndikola nga bw’ogambye.”
Ka te u tokoto au mo ʻeku ngaahi tamai, pea te ke fata au mei ʻIsipite, ʻo tanu au ʻi honau tanuʻanga.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
31 N’amugamba nti, “Ndayirira.” N’amulayirira. Awo Isirayiri n’akoteka omutwe gwe ng’atudde emitwetwe w’ekitanda kye.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fuakava mai kiate au.” Pea ne fuakava kiate ia. Pea naʻe punou ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻuluʻi mohenga.
