1 UJosefa wasewela phezu kobuso bukayise, wakhala inyembezi phezu kwakhe, wamanga.
Te vaengah Joseph loh a napa maelhmai a bakop thil tih a soah a rhah neh a mok.
2 UJosefa waselaya inceku zakhe abelaphi ukuthi baqhole uyise ngomuthi; labelaphi bamqhola uIsrayeli ngomuthi.
Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa te sihluk ham a sal siboei rhoek te a uen tih siboei rhoek loh Israel te si a hluk uh.
3 Zagcwaliseka kuye insuku ezingamatshumi amane, ngoba ngokunjalo zazigcwaliseka insuku zabaqholwe ngomuthi. LamaGibhithe amlilela insuku ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
Sihluknah khohnin te khohnin lipkip a di ham a om dongah khohnin a soep vanneh rhok te Egypt rhoek loh khohnin sawmrhih a rhah uh.
4 Kwathi sezidlulile insuku zokumkhalela, uJosefa wakhuluma lendlu kaFaro esithi: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni enu, ake likhulume endlebeni zikaFaro, lisithi:
Rhahnah khohnin a poeng vaengah Joseph loh Pharaoh im la, “Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka dang atah Pharaoh kah hna kaep ah bet ka thui mai eh.
5 Ubaba wangifungisa esithi: Khangela, ngiyafa; engcwabeni engazigebhela lona elizweni leKhanani, lapho ungingcwabe. Khathesi-ke, ake ngenyuke ngiyengcwaba ubaba, besengibuya.
A pa loh, ‘Ka duek atah Kanaan kho ah kamah ham ka vueh tangtae phuel ah pahoi nan up ni,’ a ti tih kai he n'toemngam sak oeh dongah bet ka cet saeh lamtah a pa te ka up phoeiah ka bal mai eh,” a ti nah.
6 UFaro wasesithi: Yenyuka uyengcwaba uyihlo njengokukufungisa kwakhe.
Pharaoh long khaw, “Na toemngam vanbangla cet lamtah na pa te up dae,” a ti nah.
7 UJosefa wasesenyuka ukuyangcwaba uyise, kwenyuka kanye laye zonke izinceku zikaFaro, abadala bendlu yakhe, labo bonke abadala belizwe leGibhithe,
Te dongah Joseph te a napa up ham a caeh hatah Pharaoh kah sal boeih neh a im kah a hamca rhoek long khaw, Egypt kho kah a hamca boeih long khaw,
8 lendlu yonke kaJosefa, labafowabo, lendlu kayise; kuphela abantwana babo abancinyane lezimvu zabo lenkomo zabo bakutshiya elizweni leGosheni.
Joseph cako boeih neh a manuca rhoek long khaw, a napa cako long khaw a thak puei uh. Camoe neh a boiva, saelhung bueng te Goshen kho ah a caehtak uh.
9 Kwasekusenyuka kanye laye konke izinqola labagadi bamabhiza, kwaba liviyo elinzima kakhulu.
Te dongah anih taengah aka cet te leng khaw, marhang caem khaw lambong yet la muep om.
10 Kwathi sebefike esizeni seAtadi, eliphetsheya kweJordani, balila khona, isililo esikhulu lesinzima kakhulu, bamenzela uyise isililo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
Tedae Jordan rhalvangan kah Atad te a pha uh vaengah rhaengsaelung neh bungbung mat a rhaengsae uh tih a napa ham nguekcoinah te hnin rhih a yaeh uh.
11 Kwathi abakhileyo belizwe, amaKhanani, bebona ukulila esizeni seAtadi, bathi: Lesi yisililo esinzima samaGibhithe. Ngakho basebesitha ibizo laso iAbeli-Mizirayimi, eliphetsheya kweJordani.
Tedae Atad ah a nguekcoinah te Kanaan kho kah khosa rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah, “Hekah he Egypt rhoek loh mat a nguekcoinah ni,” a ti uh dongah Jordan rhalvangan kah a ming te Abelmizaim la a khue.
12 Amadodana akhe asemenzela njalo njengalokhu ewalayile;
Te dongah a uen vanbangla Israel ham a ca rhoek loh a saii uh tih,
13 ngoba amadodana akhe amthwalela elizweni leKhanani, amngcwaba obhalwini lwensimu yeMakaphela, uAbrahama aluthenga lensimu, lube yindawo yakhe yokungcwabela, kuEfroni umHethi, eqondane leMamre.
Kanaan kho la a khuen uh. Te phoeiah Abraham loh phuel khohut la Khitti Ephron kah khohmuen Mamre ah a lai Makpelah lo kah lungko ah a up uh.
14 UJosefa wasebuyela eGibhithe, yena labafowabo labo bonke abenyuka laye ukuyangcwaba uyise, esemngcwabile uyise.
Joseph neh a manuca rhoek khaw, a napa up ham anih taengah aka cet boeih long khaw a napa te a up phoeiah Egypt la bal uh.
15 Kwathi abafowabo bakaJosefa sebebonile ukuthi uyise usefile bathi: Mhlawumbe uJosefa uzasizonda, ngoqotho asiphindisele ububi bonke esabenza kuye.
Tedae a napa a duek coeng dongah Joseph te a manuca rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah, “Joseph he mamih taengah a konaeh koinih anih taengah boethae n'saii uh boeih te n'thuung rhoe n'thuung ni,” a ti uh.
16 Basebenika isilayezelo kuJosefa besithi: Uyihlo walaya engakafi, esithi:
Te dongah Joseph taengla ol a uen uh tih, “Na pa loh a duek hlan ah,
17 Lizakutsho kanje kuJosefa lithi: Ngiyakucela, akuxolele isiphambeko sabafowenu lesono sabo, ngoba bakwenzela okubi; khathesi-ke ake uxolele isiphambeko sezinceku zikaNkulunkulu kayihlo. UJosefa wasekhala inyembezi nxa bekhuluma kuye.
‘Joseph te, Na manuca rhoek kah dumlai khaw, nang a thae la n'saii uh vaengkah tholhnah te khaw phuei mai ti nah,’ a ti tih n'uen dongah na pa Pathen sal rhoek kah boekoeknah te phuei mai,” a ti nah uh tih a thui uh vaengah Joseph rhap.
18 Labafowabo labo beza, bawa phansi phambi kwakhe, bathi: Khangela, siyizinceku zakho.
Te dongah a manuca rhoek khaw cet uh tih a hmai ah bakop uh tih kaimih he nang kah sal ni he a ti uh.
19 Kodwa uJosefa wathi kibo: Lingesabi, ngoba kanti ngisendaweni kaNkulunkulu yini?
Tedae Joseph loh, “Kai he Pathen hnukthoi a? Rhih uh boeh saw.
20 Kodwa lina laceba okubi kimi, uNkulunkulu waceba ngokuhle, ukuze enze njengalamuhla, ukuze alondoloze abantu abanengi bephila.
Nangmih loh kai taengah boethae la nan taeng uh cakhaw Pathen loh tahae khohnin kah bangla pilnam muep hing sak ham te a then la a moeh coeng.
21 Khathesi-ke lingesabi; mina ngizalondla lina labantwanyana benu. Wasebaduduza, wakhuluma labo ngomusa.
Te dongah rhih uh boeh. Nangmih khaw, na ca rhoek khaw kan cangbam bitni,” a ti nah tih amih lungbuei te hloep ol a thui pah.
22 UJosefa wasehlala eGibhithe, yena lendlu kayise. Njalo uJosefa waphila iminyaka elikhulu letshumi.
Joseph khaw Egypt ah a napa kah a cako neh kho a sak. Te vaengah Joseph te kum pasoi neh kum rha hing.
23 UJosefa wasebona abantwana bakaEfrayimi abesizukulwana sesithathu; labantwana bakaMakiri indodana kaManase bazalelwa emadolweni kaJosefa.
Te dongah Joseph loh Ephraim ca rhoek a khongthum duela a hmuh. Manasseh capa Makir ca rhoek khaw Joseph khuklu dongah a cun uh.
24 UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo: Ngiyafa, kodwa uNkulunkulu uzalihambela isibili, alenyuse kulelilizwe alise elizweni alifungela oAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe.
Te vaengah Joseph loh a manuca rhoek la, “Kai ka duek cakhaw Pathen loh nangmih n'hip khaw n'hip vetih nangmih te tahae kah kho lamkah Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob ham a toemngam tangtae khohmuen la n'khuen bitni,” a ti nah.
25 UJosefa wafungisa amadodana kaIsrayeli esithi: UNkulunkulu uzalihambela isibili, njalo lizakwenyusa amathambo ami asuke lapha.
Te dongah Joseph loh Israel ca rhoek te a toemngam sak tih, “Nangmih te Pathen loh n'hip rhoe la n'hip vaengah he lamkah ka rhuh na khuen uh ni,” a ti nah.
26 UJosefa wasesifa, eleminyaka elikhulu letshumi; basebemqhola ngomuthi, wafakwa ebhokisini eGibhithe.
