1 UJosefa waziphosela phezu kukayise wamkhalela, wasemanga.
Joseph el putatyang nu fin papa tumal ac tung ac ngok mutal.
2 UJosefa waselaya izinyanga ezazingaphansi kwakhe ukuqhola umzimba kayise u-Israyeli. Ngakho izinyanga zamqhola,
Na Joseph el sap mwet ono lal in unwela papa tumal, manol in oan paht.
3 zathatha insuku ezingamatshumi amane ezigcweleyo, ngoba kwakuthatha isikhathi esingako ukuqhola. AmaGibhithe amlilela insuku ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
Elos orekma kac len angngaul, fal nu ke lusen pacl se eneneyuk tuh mano se in ku in oan paht. Mwet Egypt elos eoksra kacl Jacob ke len itngoul.
4 Insuku zokulila sezedlule, uJosefa wathi kuziphathamandla zikaFaro, “Nxa ngifumane umusa kini, ngikhulumelani kuFaro. Mtsheleni lithi,
Ke safla pacl in eoksra uh, Joseph el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal tokosra, “Nunak munas, us kas se inge nu sel tokosra:
5 ‘Ubaba wangifungisa isifungo wathi, “Sengizakufa; lingimbele ethuneni engazigebhela lona mina ngokwami elizweni laseKhenani.” Manje-ke ake ungivumele ngihambe ngiyongcwaba ubaba; besengiphenduka.’”
‘Ke papa tumuk el apkuran in misa, el sap nga orala wulela se nu sel lah nga ac piknilya inkulyuk se ma el akoela in acn Canaan. Ke sripa se inge, nga siyuk kom in nunak munas filiyula nga in som pikinya we, na nga fah foloko.’”
6 UFaro wathi, “Hamba uyongcwaba uyihlo, njengoba wakufungisa ukuthi uzakwenza.”
Ac tokosra el topuk, “Fahsrot pikinya papa tomom an, oana ke kom tuh wuleang nu sel an.”
7 Ngakho uJosefa wahamba wayangcwaba uyise. Zonke izikhulu zikaFaro zamphelekezela, izikhulu zakhe zomphakathi kanye lazozonke izikhulu zaseGibhithe,
Ouinge Joseph el som in pikinya papa tumal. Mwet pwapa lal tokosra nukewa, mwet fulat inkul sel, ac mwet kol nukewa in acn Egypt elos welul Joseph som.
8 ngaphandle kwabo bonke abendlu kaJosefa labafowabo lalabo ababe ngabendlu kayise. EGosheni kwasala kuphela abantwana lemihlambi yabo yezimvu leyenkomo.
Sou lal, tamulel lal, ac mwet saya nukewa in sou lun papa tumal elos welul pac som. Tulik srisrik na natulos, wi sheep, nani, ac cow uh pa lula in acn Goshen.

10 Bathi ngokufika esizeni sika-Athadi eduze kweJodani basiqhinqa isililo esikhulu esibuhlungu; kwathi khonapho uJosefa wazilela uyise okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
Ke elos tuku nu ke acn in kulkul wheat Atad, kutulap in Infacl Jordan, elos wowoyak ke tung ke pacl na loeloes se, ac Joseph el sapkin elos in eoksra len itkosr.
11 Kwathi amaKhenani ayehlala eduzane ebona ukulila lokho esizeni sika-Athadi athi, “AmaGibhithe alenkonzo yawo yokulila.” Yikho-nje leyondawo eseduze kweJodani ithiwa yi-Abheli-Mizirayimi.
Ke mwet Canaan elos liye mwet ma eoksra in acn Atad inge, elos fahk, “Ku fuka lupan eoksra se mwet Egypt inge oru uh!” Pa inge ma se pwanang pangpang acn sac Abel Mizraim.

13 Bamthwalela elizweni laseKhenani bayamngcwaba ebhalwini olwalusensimini kaMakhaphela, eduze leMamure, u-Abhrahama aluthenga kanye lensimu ku-Efroni umHithi ukuthi kube yindawo yokungcwaba.
Elos usla manol nu Canaan ac piknilya in luf se Machpelah, kutulap in acn Mamre, ke ipin acn se ma Abraham el tuh molela sel Ephron mwet Hit mwe kulyuk.
14 Esemngcwabile uyise uJosefa wabuyela eGibhithe kanye labafowabo labo bonke ababehambe laye ukuyangcwaba uyise.
Tukun Joseph el pikinya papa tumal, el ac tamulel lal ac mwet nukewa ma welul som in pukmas ah, elos folokla nu Egypt.
15 Abafowabo bakaJosefa sebebonile ukuthi uyise sefile, bathi, “Kambe uJosefa kasibekelanga isikhwili yini abesefuna ukuphindisela ngakho konke esamona ngakho?”
Tukun papa tumalos ah misa, na mwet lel Joseph elos fahk, “Joseph el ac fin toasr sesr ac akoeyuk foloksak ke ma nukewa kut tuh oru koluk nu sel ah, na ac fuka?”
16 Ngakho bathumela ilizwi kuJosefa besithi, “Uyihlo watshiya imilayo le engakafi:
Ouinge elos sapla nu sel Joseph ac fahk, “Meet liki papa tumasr ah misa,
17 ‘Nanku elimele likutsho kuJosefa: Ngiyakucela ukuthi uxolele abafowenu izono leziphambeko abazenzayo ngokukuphatha kubi kangaka.’ Manje siyacela ukuthi uthethelele izono zezinceku zikaNkulunkulu kayihlo.” Kwathi ilizwi labo selifikile kuye uJosefa wakhala.

Na tamulel lal elos tuku ac epasrla nwe ten ye mutal ac fahk, “Kut tuku pa inge nu ye motom in mwet kohs lom.”
19 Kodwa uJosefa wathi kubo, “Lingesabi. Mina ngisesikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu na?
Tusruktu Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Nikmet kowos sangeng. Nga tia ku in oru acnu mu God pa nga.
20 Lalihlose ukungenza okubi, kodwa uNkulunkulu wayehlose ubuhle ngakho ukuze kugcwaliseke lokhu okwenzakalayo khathesi, ukuphephisa impilo ezinengi.

22 UJosefa wahlala eGibhithe kanye labo bonke abendlu kayise. Waphila okweminyaka elikhulu letshumi,

24 UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo, “Sengiseduze lokufa. Kodwa ngempela uNkulunkulu uzalisiza alikhuphe kulelilizwe alise elizweni alithembisa ngesifungo ku-Abhrahama, lo-Isaka loJakhobe.”
El fahk nu sin tamulel lal kewa, “Nga apkuran in misa, tusruktu pwayena God El ac fah liyekowosyang ac pwenkowosla liki facl se inge nu in facl se su El wulela ku na kac nu sel Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.”
25 UJosefa wasefungisa amadodana ka-Israyeli isifungo wathi, “UNkulunkulu uzalisiza, yikho kumele lithwale amathambo ami lisuke lawo kule indawo.”
Na Joseph el siyuk sin mwet lal in orala sie fulahk. El fahk, “Wulema nu sik lah ke pacl se God El ac pwenkowosla nu in facl sac, kowos ac us srik wi kowos.”
