Josefena asuzamo'a avitegeno asunku'zana azeriga osuno, anante oti'naza vahekura ranke huno anage hu'ne, Hakare'amota amafintira megi'a atiramiho, hige'za atiramizageno Josefe'a nefu'zane mani'neno huama huno, nagra Josefe'ne huno zamasi'ne.
2 Wasephakamisa ilizwi lakhe ngokukhala, aze ezwa amaGibhithe, yezwa lendlu kaFaro.
Nezmasamino krafa huno zavi netege'za, Isipi vahe'mo'za nentahi'za vu'za Fero nompi nemaniza vahera ana zamofo agenkea ome zmasamizage'za maka'moza antahi'naze.
3 UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo: NginguJosefa. Ubaba usaphila yini? Kodwa abafowabo kabaze bamphendula, ngoba besanganisekile phambi kwakhe.
Anante Josefe'a afuhe'mokizmia anage huno zamasmi'ne, nagra Josefe'ne! Hanki nenfa'a knare huno mani'nefi? Higeno afuhe'mokizmia tusi'a zamagogo fege'za magore hu'za kea osu'za mani'naze.
4 UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo: Ake lisondele kimi. Basondela-ke. Wasesithi: NginguJosefa umfowenu elamthengisa waya eGibhithe.
Anante Josefe'a afuhe'mokizmigu anage hu'ne, Muse (plis) hurmantoanki nagrite erava'o hiho. Zamagra anante erava'o hazageno anage huno zamasmi'ne, tamagrama zagore'ma natrage'za mizase'za Isipima e'naza ne' tamagri neramafu Josefe'ne.
5 Khathesi-ke, lingadabuki, lingazithukutheleli, ukuthi langithengisa lapha, ngoba uNkulunkulu wangithuma phambi kwenu ukulondoloza impilo.
Hianagi tamagrama mizante'ma natregenama e'noa zankura, tamagra ramagra tamarimpa ohe ahea osiho. Na'ankure tamagra'a natrage'na amafina eomani'noanki, Anumzamo hunantege'na egota hu'na vahe'mo'za ofri manisagu emani'noe.
6 Ngoba liminyaka emibili indlala iphakathi kwelizwe; njalo kuseleminyaka emihlanu okungayikulinywa kuvunwe ngayo.
Na'ankure agate'zamo'a tare kafu evigeno, 5fu'a kafua amne me'neanki'za hoza eri'za kri'za onkafigahaze.
7 Njalo uNkulunkulu wangithuma phambi kwenu ukulimisela insali emhlabeni, lokuligcina liphila ngokukhulula okukhulu.
Hagi Anumzamo hunantegena ofrita manisagu egote'na e'noe. Ama mopare tamazerise nehu'na, agate kna'afina tamagrira tamazama hanuana tusi'a knare kankamumpinti tamaza hugahue.
8 Khathesi-ke, lina alingithumelanga lapha, kodwa uNkulunkulu; wasengimisa ngaba nguyise kaFaro, lenkosi yendlu yakhe yonke, lombusi elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
E'ina hu'negu, tamagratmi hunantage'na amafina ome'noanki, Anumzamo hunantege'na e'noankino, Agra'a nazeri otige'na Ferona antahintahi nemi'na, noma'a kegava nehu'na, mika Isipi mopanena kegava hu'noe.
9 Phangisani lenyukele kubaba, lithi kuye: Itsho njalo indodana yakho uJosefa: UNkulunkulu ungimise inkosi yeGibhithe lonke; yehlela kimi, ungaphuzi;
Hagi menina ame huta nenfa'ma mani'nerega vuta, anage huta ome asmiho, negamofo Josefena, Anumzamo'a rankva vahe Isipia azeri oti'neanki, hantka hunka eno, huta ome asmiho.
10 uzahlala elizweni leGosheni, ube seduze lami, wena labantwana bakho labantwana babantwabakho, lezimvu zakho lenkomo zakho, lakho konke olakho.
Hagi kagrane mofavre naga ka'ane, kagehe'inena nezmavrenka, sipisipine, meme kevune, bulimakao kevune, mika feno zanka'anena enerinka enka nagri tvaonte Goseni mopare emanigahane.
11 Njalo ngizakondla lapho, ngoba isekhona iminyaka emihlanu yendlala, hlezi ube ngumyanga, wena lendlu yakho lakho konke olakho.
Anantega emani'nenage'na 5fu'a agatontoma hu kafumofo agu'afina, nagra ne'zana tamigahue. Hagi kagrane, mika nonka'afima mani'naza vahe'taminema omesutma tamunte omnena tamagaku hugahaze.
12 Khangelani-ke, amehlo enu ayabona, lamehlo omfowethu uBhenjamini, ukuthi umlomo wami ukhuluma kini.
Hanki keho, tamagra negageno nagana'nimo Benzameni enena negege'na, nagra'a nagipinti Josefe'na ama kea tamagrira neramasmue.
13 Bikelani ubaba lonke udumo lwami eGibhithe, lakho konke elikubonileyo, liphangise lehlisele ubaba lapha.
Hagi Isipi mopafima ra nagima eri'na mani'noa zankue'ene, mika knare'zama Isipi me'negeta kaza zamofo nenekea nenfana ome nesamita, ko ame' hutma avreta kama eho.
14 Wasewela entanyeni kaBhenjamini umfowabo, wakhala inyembezi; loBhenjamini wakhala inyembezi entanyeni yakhe.
Anante negna Benzameni anankempi ome azeri anukino zavi atentegeno, Benzameni'a ana zanke huno zavi ate'ne.
15 Wasebanga bonke abafowabo, wakhala inyembezi phezu kwabo. Njalo emva kwalokhu abafowabo baxoxa laye.
Josefe'a miko nefugizmi zamantako nehuno zavi atezamantetege'za, henka nefu'zane keaga hu'naze.
16 Kwathi lelilizwi lizwakala endlini kaFaro lisithi, abafowabo bakaJosefa bafikile, kwaba kuhle emehlweni kaFaro lemehlweni enceku zakhe.
Josefena nefu'za e'naze kema, Fero'ene eri'za vahe'amozanena nentahiza muse hu'naze.
17 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Tshela abafowenu uthi: Yenzani lokhu, yethwesani inyamazana zenu, lihambe liye elizweni leKhanani,
Anante Fero'a Josefenkura anage hunka negfu'gizmia zamasamio hu'ne, Kutuntamia donki afu agumpi erinteta avreta Kenani moparega viho,
18 lithathe uyihlo lemizi yenu, libuye kimi; besengilinika okuhle kwelizwe leGibhithe, beselisidla amanono elizwe.
vutma neramafane maka nontamifima nemaniza vahe'ene zamavareta nagrite enke'na, so'e mopa Isipi nagra tami'nena anampi maniho.
19 Wena-ke usulayiwe; yenzani lokhu, zithatheleni elizweni leGibhithe izinqola zabantwanyana benu labomkenu, lithwale uyihlo libuye.
Menina nagra huneramantoe, karisia Isipiti erita vuta osi mofavre tamine, a'ne tamine, nermafanena ome avreta eho.
20 Futhi ilihlo lenu lingakhathaleli impahla zenu, ngoba okuhle kwelizwe lonke leGibhithe kungokwenu.
Tamagra miko zantamigura tamagesa ontahiho, Isipi moparetira knare'za erigahaze.
21 Asesenza njalo amadodana kaIsrayeli; uJosefa wasewanika izinqola njengokulaya kukaFaro, wabanika umphako wendlela.
Hige'za Israeli amohe'za Fero'ma ke'ma zamasmiaza nehazageno, Fero'ma asamia kante anteno Josefe'a karisia nezamino, kantegama nemema vanaza ne'zanena zami'ne.
22 Wabanika bonke, kwaba ngulowo lalowo izembatho zokuntshintsha; kodwa uBhenjamini wamnika inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamakhulu amathathu, lezembatho zokuntshintsha ezinhlanu.
Mago mago'mofona Josefe'a magoke kukena amitere nehuno, Benzamenina 5fu'a kukenagi, 300'a silva zagone ami'ne.
23 Wasethumela kuyise kanje, obabhemi abalitshumi, bethwele okwezinto ezinhle zeGibhithe, labobabhemikazi abalitshumi bethwele amabele lezinkwa lokudla kwendlela kukayise.
Nefana ama'a zantami antente'ne, 10ni'a donkimofo agumpina Isipi mopafima knare'nare zantamima me'nea zantamina eri antenenteno, 10ni'a donkimofo agumpi witi rgaramine, raisi rgaramine (grain) nezmino, nezmafa kantega ne-eno neme esia kave'enena antentege'za eri'za vu'naze.
24 Wasebathuma abafowabo bahamba. Wathi kibo: Lingaxabani endleleni.
Anante Josefe'a huzmantege'za atre'za vu'za nehazageno, anage huno zamasmi'ne, Kantegama nevuta ha' fra osiho!
25 Basebesenyuka besuka eGibhithe, bafika elizweni leKhanani, kuJakobe uyise.
Hagi zamagra Isipitira e'za Kenani mopare nezmafa Jekopunte ehanati'naze.
26 Bambikela besithi: UJosefa usaphila, njalo ungumbusi elizweni leGibhithe lonke. Inhliziyo yakhe yasiphela amandla, ngoba wayengabakholwa.
Zamagra anage hu'za nezmafana eme asmi'naze, Josefe'a ofri amne mani'ne, tamage agra Isipi mopa miko kegava kri'ne, nehazageno ana kegura agesa tra'nereno antahi ozami'ne.
27 Basebemtshela wonke amazwi kaJosefa ayewatshilo kibo. Kwathi esezibonile izinqola uJosefa ayezithume ukumthwala, umoya kaJakobe uyise wavuseleleka.
Hianagi zamagra mika ke Josefe'ma huzmante'nea kea, nezmafa eme nesmizageno nentahino, karisima negeno'a, nezmafa Jekopu agu'amo'a kasefa higeno muse hu'ne.
28 UIsrayeli wasesithi: Kwanele, uJosefa indodana yami usaphila; ngizahamba ngimbone ngingakafi.
Anante Israeli'a anage hu'ne, ha knarere, mofavrenimo'a ofri amne mani'ne. Nagra vu'na ome kete'na henka frigahue.
