1 Kwathi uJakhobe esezwile ukuthi amabele ayekhona eGibhithe wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Kungani likhangelana nje?”
Jekopu'ma Isipi moparega witi me'ne hazankema nentahino'a, ne'mofavre naga'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Na'a higeta ovufi avufina nehaze?
2 Waqhubeka wathi, “Sengizwile ukuthi amabele akhona eGibhithe. Yehlani liye khona liyesithengela wona ukuze siphile singafi.”
Isipi mopafina witi ne'zana me'ne hazage'na antahuanki, ofrita manisunema hanuta vuta ana moparegati ne'zana ome mizaseta eho.
3 Ngakho abanewabo bakaJosefa behla bayathenga amabele eGibhithe.
Hige'za Josefena 10ni'a afuhe'za witi miza senaku Isipi urami'naze.
4 Kodwa uJakhobe kamthumanga labanye uBhenjamini, umnawakhe kaJosefa ngoba wesaba ukuthi angaqabuka ewelwa yingozi.
Hianagi Jekopu'a Josefe negna Benzameni'ma hazenke erizanku koro nehuno, atregeno afuhe'zanena ovu'ne.
5 Kungakho amadodana ka-Israyeli ayeludwendwe lunye lalabo ababesiyathenga amabele njengoba indlala yayikhona laselizweni leKhenani.
Hagi zamaga'zamo' a ana zanke Kenani mopafinena hige'za Israeli amohe'za ke hiaza hu'za witi ne'za miza senaku ruga'a vahe'ene urami'naze.
6 Ngalesosikhathi uJosefa wayengumbusi welizwe, enguye othengisela abantu bonke amabele. Ngakho abafowabo bakaJosefa bathi befika khona bamkhothamela, bathi mbo ngobuso phansi.
Hagi Josefe'a ana mopafina gavana manino kegava kri'nege'za agritetike maka ana mopafi vahe'mo'za ne'zana eme miza se'naze. Hagi Josefe afuhe'za agrite e'za zamarena re'za kepri mopafi hu'naze.
7 UJosefa wonela ukubabona abafowabo, wabazi, kodwa wazitshaya owezizweni, wabakhulumisa ngokubakhahlameza. Wababuza wathi, “Livela ngaphi?” Baphendula bathi, “Sivela elizweni laseKhenani ukuzathenga ukudla.”
Josefe'a afuhe'i zamavugosafi nezmageno, onke vahekna nehuno hanave'ane ke huzmanteno anage hu'ne, tamagra igati e'naze? Hige'za zamagra anage hu'naze, Kenani moparegati ne'za miza senaku e'none.
8 Lanxa uJosefa wabazi abafowabo, bona kabamazanga.
Josefe'a afuhe'ina zamageni' hianagi, zamagra agrira keni' osu'naze.
9 Ngakho wasekhumbula amaphupho akhe ngabo wasesithi kubo, “Lizinhloli! Lilande ukuzabona lapho ilizwe lethu elingavikelekanga khona.”
Josefe'a ko'ma afuhe'inte ava'na kezamte'nea agesa nentahino anage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagra mopati afureta kenaku e'naze.
10 Baphendula bathi, “Hatshi, nkosi yethu. Izinceku zakho zize ukuzothenga ukudla.
Hianagi zamagra anage hu'naze, a'o, rantimoka kagri eri'za vahe'mota ne'za miza senaku e'none.
11 Singamadodana endoda yinye sonke. Izinceku zakho zingabantu abaqotho, kazisizo zinhloli.”
Tagra magoke ne'mofo mofavre nagakita, tamage vahe mani'none. Hagi eri'za nagaka'mota tagra mopa afure' vahera ome'none.
12 Wathi kubo, “Hatshi! Lize ukuzabona lapho ilizwe lethu elingavikelekanga khona.”
Anage hazanagi ke'zmi rezmanteno agra anage hu'ne, A'o, kegava osu'nona mopati afureta kenaku tamagra e'naze!
13 Kodwa baphendula bathi, “Izinceku zakho zaziyizelamani ezilitshumi lambili, engamadodana endoda yinye, ehlala elizweni laseKhenani. Icinathunjana lisele lobaba, ikanti eyodwa kayisekho.”
Hige'za zamagra anage hu'za asami'naze, Eri'za vahe'kamota maka 12fu'a vahekita magoke ne'mofo ne'mofavre naga mani'none. Hanki amitenamo'a Kenani mopare nerfa'ene manigeno, magotimo'a hago fri'ne.
14 UJosefa wathi kubo, “Kunjengoba ngilitshelile: Lizinhloli!
Hianagi Josefe'a amanage huno rentase hu'ne, Tamagra mopati afure vahere hu'na neramasamue.
15 Manje-ke lizahlolwa kanje: Ngifunga uFaro, kaliyikusuka lapha ngaphandle kokuthi umfowenu omncinyane afike lapha.
Tamagrama tamage nehaze hunama nagrama hanuana, amanahu hugahaze. Fero avufi hanave'ane ke huankita, ama kumara atreta ovu'nesageno, neramagna amare' e'nige'na kete'na, tamatrenugeta mopatamirega vugahaze.
16 Thumani omunye wenu amlande umfowenu; lonke abanye lizagcinwa entolongweni, ukuze amazwi enu ahlolisiswe ukuthi lingabe likhuluma iqiniso yini. Nxa kungenjalo, ngifunga uFaro, lizinhloli!”
Hagi mago'mofo huntenkeno vuno neramagnana ome avreno eno. Hanki ruga'amota kinafi mani'nesageno, tamagenoka hugetama hunazana, tamagu'areti tamage hunafi kaneno. Havigema hanuta Fero avufina, tamage tamagra mopati afureta kenaku enaza vahere hu'na hugahue.
17 Wasebafaka entolongweni bonke okwensuku ezintathu.
Ana nagara maka kina nompi 3'a zagegnafi zamavarentene.
18 Ngosuku lwesithathu uJosefa wathi kubo, “Yenzani lokhu ukuze lisile, ngoba mina ngesaba uNkulunkulu:
Hagi namba 3ma hia zagegnarera Josefe'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nagra Anumzamofonku koro nehugu amana'ma hanazana manigahaze.
19 Nxa lingabantu abaqotho, omunye wenu kahlale lapha entolongweni, kuthi lina abanye libuyele lihambisele izimuli zenu amabele esezibulawa yindlala.
Hagi tamage vahe'ma mani'nesuta, atrenkeno mago neramafu kina huno mani'nena, ruga'amotma witi ne'zantmia erita zamaga zanku'ma nehaza naga tamirega viho.
20 Kodwa limlethe lapha kimi umnawenu omncane ukuze amazwi enu aqiniseke, njalo ukuze lingafi.” Bakwenza lokho.
Hianagi neramagnana ome avreta nagrite ehanatiho. Anama nehanageno ketamimo'a tamagesesigeta ofrigahaze. Hige'za kema zamasmiaza hu'naze.
21 Basebekhulumisana bathi, “Ngempela sijeziselwa umfowethu. Sambona ukuthi wayekhathazeke kangakanani esincenga, ezincengela impilo yakhe, kodwa kasaze samlalela; kungakho sisehlelwa luhlupho lolu.”
Zamagra zamagra amanage hu'naze, tamage neragnana haviza hunte'none. Na'ankure negonkeno agra o'e nehigeta antahiomuna nona'a ana knazamo'a tagritera fore nehie.
22 URubheni waphendula wathi, “Kodwa kangilitshelanga yini ukuthi lingenzi isono emfaneni lina laqinisa amakhanda? Nanku-ke sesimele sifakaze ngegazi lakhe.”
Rubeni'a ke nona'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nagra ontamasami'nofi, ana mofavrea azeri havizana osiho nehugeta ke'nia antahi onami'naza nona'a, menina agri'ma ahe fri'nona zamofo nona'a knazana enerune.
23 Babengakunanzeleli ukuthi uJosefa wayeluzwa ulimi lwabo njengoba wayelomtolikelayo.
Zamagrama antahi'zana Josefe'a ketia nontahie hu'za hu'nazanagi, agra antahine. Na'ankure Josefema kema rekrahe humi vahe'mo'a amu'nozamifi mani'neno, nanekea akrehe huno zamasmi'ne.
24 Wabafulathela wachiphiza izinyembezi, kodwa waphenduka wakhuluma labo. Wathi kuthathwe uSimiyoni kubo owahle wabotshwa phambi kwabo.
Josefe'a zamatreno vuno zavi ome atete'no, eno eme kema hunezmino'a, eri'za vahe'a zamasmige'za, Simeonina azeri'za negage'za azante nofi anakinte'naze.
25 UJosefa waselaya ukuthi kugcwaliswe amabele emasakeni abo, kubuyiselwe imali yalowo lalowo ifakwe phakathi kwesaka lakhe njalo baphiwe umphako wendlela. Sebekwenzelwe konke lokho,
Huteno Josefe'a hige'za witi ne'zana beki ku'zmifi eriri nezmante'za, zagozmia ana zanke hu'za beki kuzmifi eriri nezamante'za, kantega nevu'za nemema vanaza kave'ene eriri zamante'naze.
26 betshata amasaka abo kubobabhemi bahamba.
Hige'za donki afu'zmimofo agumpi witi ne'zama eririzmantaza erinte'za anantetira atre'za vu'naze.
27 Endaweni lapho abema khona ngalobubusuku omunye wabo wavula isaka lakhe ukuthathela ubabhemi wakhe ukudla, wasebona imali yakhe yesiliva emlonyeni wesaka.
Kantega umsenaku hazarega mago'mo donki afu'amofo ne'zama aminaku beki ku'a eriheta huno keana, beki ku'amofo avazare zago'a me'negeno ke'ne.
28 Wathi kubafowabo, “Isiliva sami sibuyiselwe. Nansi lapha phakathi kwesaka lami.” Zatshona inhliziyo zabo bakhangelana bethuthumela bathi, “Kuyini kambe lokhu uNkulunkulu asekwenzile kithi?”
Afuhe'igizmia anage huno zamasami'ne, Beki ku'niafi zagonia eriri nante'nazanki keho. Hige'za zamahirahi nerege'za koro nehu'za rukre hu'za ovufi avufi nehu'za, anage hu'naze, Naza ama zana Anumzamo'a hunerante?
29 Bathi sebefike kuyise uJakhobe elizweni laseKhenani bamtshela konke lokho okwakwenzakele kubo. Bathi,
Hagi zamagrama Kenani mopare unehanati'za, maka'zama fore huzmi'nea nanekea nezmafa Jekopuna amanage hu'za asmi'naze.
30 “Indoda eyinkosi yelizwe isikhulumise ngokusihalada, yasiphatha kwangathi sizinhloli elizweni.
Ana nera, ana mopa kegava kri'nea ra nekino, hanave kefintike kea huno, tamagra mopati afureta ke vahe e'naze hu'ne.
31 Kodwa sathi kuyo, ‘Singamadoda aqotho; kasisizonhloli thina.
Hianagi tagra anage huta asami'none, Tagra tamage vahe mani'nonanki, afure vahera omani'none huta asami'none.
32 Sasiyizelamani ezilitshumi lambili, amadodana endoda yinye. Omunye sowedlula, kuthi icinathunjana lisele lobaba eKhenani.’
Tagra 12fu'a kogna nagakita, magoke ne'mofo mofavre nagare. Magotimo'a omanigeno, neragana'a nerafa'ene menina Kenani moparega mani'ne.
33 Ngakho umuntu oyinkosi yalelolizwe wasesithi kithi, ‘Nanku okuzangenza ngazi ukuthi lingabantu abaqotho: Tshiyani omunye umfowenu lapha kimi, lithathe ukudla kwezimuli zenu ezilambayo lihambe.
Anage hunkeno ana mopama kegava kri'nea ra ne'mo'a amanage huno tasami'ne, Mago nermafuna nagrite netretma, witi ne'za eneritma zamagaku'ma nehaza nagatamirega viho. E'inama hanage'na, tamage vahe mani'naze hu'na nagra antahigahue.
34 Kodwa umnawenu limlethe kimi khona ngizakwazi ukuthi kalisizinhloli, kodwa lingabantu abaqotho. Lapho-ke ngizambuyisela kini umfowenu, lani selingazithengisela phakathi kwelizwe.’”
Hagi nagnatamimofona avreta enkena negena, tamagra tamage huta mopa afureta ke vahera omani'naze hu'na antahi neramina, neramafuna avreraminena ama mopafina amne vute'ete huta ne'zana miza nehuta zagorera atregahaze huno hu'ne.
35 Bathi sebethulula amasaka abo, babona umxhaka wesiliva waleyo laleyo ndoda esakeni layo! Kwathi bona ngokwabo kanye loyise bebona imixhaka yemali besaba.

36 Uyise uJakhobe wathi kubo, “Selingephuce abantwabami. UJosefa kasekho, loSimiyoni kasekho; manje selifuna ukuthatha uBhenjamini. Yonke into iyangihlamukela!”
Nezmafa Jekopu'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagra mofavre onte ne' kna hunenantaze. Josefe fanane higeno, Simeon fanane higeno, Benzamenina ana zanke huta avregahaze, ana maka zamo'a ha' renante.
37 URubheni wasesithi kuyise, “Ungawabulala womabili amadodana ami nxa ngingangambuyisi kuwe. Mnikele ezandleni zami, mina ngizambuyisa.”

38 Kodwa uJakhobe wathi, “Indodana yami kayiyikuhamba lani khonale; umnewabo sewafa, usenguye yedwa oseleyo. Nxa evelelwa ngokubi kuloluhambo lwenu lizakwenza ukuthi ikhanda lami eliyimpunga liye engcwabeni lidabukile.” (Sheol h7585)
