Genesisi 42
1 Jakobho akati anzwa kuti kuIjipiti kwaiva nezviyo, akati kuvanakomana vake, “Seiko muchiramba makangotarisana?”
Pea kuo mamata ʻe Sēkope ʻoku ai ʻae koane ʻi ʻIsipite, pea pehē ʻe Sēkope ki hono ngaahi foha, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fesiofaki ai?
2 Akaenderera mberi akati, “Ndanzwa kuti kuIjipiti kune zviyo. Burukai muende ikoko mundotitengera zviyo, kuitira kuti tirarame tirege kufa.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, Vakai, kuo u fanongo ʻoku ai ʻae koane ʻi ʻIsipite: mou ʻalu ki ai, pea mou fakatau maʻatautolu mei ai; koeʻuhi ke tau moʻui, kae ʻikai mate.”
3 Ipapo madzikoma aJosefa gumi vakaburuka vakaenda kundotenga zviyo kuIjipiti.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ki ʻIsipite ke fakatau koane, ʻae ngaahi taʻokete ʻe toko hongofulu ʻo Siosefa.
4 Asi Jakobho haana kuendesa Bhenjamini, mununʼuna waJosefa, pamwe chete navamwe, nokuti akanga achitya kuti zvakaipa zvaizomuwira.
Ka ko Penisimani ko e tehina ʻo Siosefa, naʻe ʻikai tuku ia ʻe Sēkope ke ʻalu mo hono ngaahi taʻokete; he naʻa ne pehē; Telia naʻa tō ha kovi kiate ia.
5 Saka vanakomana vaIsraeri vakanga vari pakati pavaya vakaenda kundotenga zviyo, nokuti nzara yakanga iri munyika yeKenaniwo.
Pea haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsileli ke fakatau ʻae koane mo kinautolu naʻe haʻu; he naʻe lahi ʻae honge ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.
6 Zvino Josefa akanga ari mubati wenyika; ndiye aitengesa zviyo kuvanhu vayo vose. Saka madzikoma aJosefa akati asvika, vakakotamira pasi kwaari nezviso zvavo.
Pea naʻe pule pe ʻa Siosefa ʻi he fonua, pea ko ia pe naʻe fakatau ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; pea haʻu ʻae ngaahi taʻokete ʻo Siosefa, ʻo nau tulolo mo honau mata ki he kelekele, ʻi hono ʻao.
7 Josefa achingoona madzikoma ake, akavaziva, asi akaita seasingavazivi uye akataura navo nehasha. Akati, “Munobvepi imi?” Ivo vakati, “Tinobva kunyika yeKenani, tauya kuzotenga zvokudya.”
Pea mamata ʻa Siosefa ki hono ngaahi taʻokete, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe mata kehe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne lea mālohi kiate kinautolu: pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou haʻu mei fē?” Pea nau talaange, “Mei he fonua ko Kēnani, ke fakatau meʻakai.”
8 Kunyange zvazvo Josefa akaziva madzikoma ake, ivo havana kumuziva.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Siosefa hono ngaahi taʻokete, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia.
9 Ipapo akarangarira kurota kwake pamusoro pavo akati kwavari, “Muri vasori imi. Mauya kuzoona nyika yedu paisina kudzivirirwa.”
Pea naʻe manatu ʻe Siosefa ki he ngaahi misi naʻa ne misi ʻaki kiate kinautolu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu; kuo mou haʻu ke mamata ki he telefua ʻoe fonua.”
10 Ivo vakapindura vakati, “Kwete, ishe wedu. Varanda venyu vauya kuzotenga zvokudya.
Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻEiki ʻoku ʻikai, ka kuo haʻu ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ke fakatau meʻakai.
11 Isu tose tiri vanakomana vomunhu mumwe. Varanda venyu vakatendeka, havasi vasori.”
Ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata pe taha ʻakimautolu kotoa pē: ko e kau tangata moʻoni ʻakimautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ko e kakai mataki ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki.”
12 Iye akati kwavari, “Kwete, mauya kuzoona nyika yedu paisina kudzivirirwa.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai, ka kuo mou haʻu ke mamata ki he telefua ʻoe fonua.”
13 Asi vakapindura vakati, “Varanda venyu vaiva gumi navaviri, vari vanakomana vomunhu mumwe, anogara munyika yeKenani. Gotwe ndiye ari kuna baba vedu iye zvino, uye mumwe haachisipo.”
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ko e kāinga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata pe taha ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani; pea vakai, ko e kimui, ʻoku ʻi he ʻemau tamai he ʻaho ni, pea ko e tokotaha kuo ʻikai.”
14 Josefa akati kwavari, “Ndizvo chaizvo zvandataura kwamuri ndichiti: Muri vasori imi!
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia naʻaku lea ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu.
15 Uye aya ndiwo maedzerwo amuchaitwa: Zvirokwazvo noupenyu hwaFaro, hamuchabvi panzvimbo ino kunze kwokunge mununʼuna wenyu gotwe auya pano.
E ʻahiʻahi kiate kimoutolu ʻaki ʻae meʻa ni; hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Felo, ʻe ʻikai te mou ʻalu ʻi heni, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai haʻu ki heni homou tehina.
16 Tumai mumwe wenyu kuti andotora mununʼuna wenyu gotwe; vamwe vose vachachengetwa mutorongo, kuti mashoko enyu aedzwe kuti zvionekwe kana muchitaura chokwadi. Kana zvisina kudaro, ipapo zvirokwazvo naFaro mupenyu, muri vasori!”
Fekau homou tokotaha ke ne ʻalu ʻo ʻomi homou tehina, pea ʻe nofo pōpula ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ki hoʻomou ngaahi lea, pe ʻoku ai ha moʻoni ʻiate kimoutolu; ka ka ʻikai, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Felo, ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu.”
17 Uye akavaisa vose mutorongo kwamazuva matatu.
Pea naʻa ne tuku fakataha ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakapōpula, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.
18 Pazuva rechitatu, Josefa akati kwavari, “Itai izvi kuti mugorarama, nokuti ndinotya Mwari.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, “Mou fai eni, pea mou moʻui he ʻoku ou manavahē ki he ʻOtua;
19 Kana muri vanhu vakatendeka, regai mumwe wenyu agare muno mutorongo, asi vamwe venyu vaende nezviyo kumhuri dzenyu dziri kuziya.
Kapau ko e kau tangata angatonu ʻakinautolu, tuku ke haʻi homou tokotaha ʻi he fale ʻo homou pōpula: ka mou ʻalu ʻo fetuku ʻae koane telia ʻae honge ʻi homou ngaahi fale.
20 Asi munofanira kuuya nomununʼuna wenyu gotwe kwandiri, kuitira kuti mashoko enyu asimbiswe uye kuti murege kufa.” Izvi vakazviita.
Ka mou ʻomi homou tehina kiate au; ko ia ʻe fakamoʻoni ai hoʻomou ngaahi lea, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou mate. Pea naʻa nau fai ia.”
21 Vakataurirana vachiti, “Zvirokwazvo tava kurangwa nokuda kwomununʼuna wedu. Takaona kutambudzika kwaakaita paakatikumbira kuti tirege kumuuraya, asi isu hatina kumuteerera; ndokusaka nhamo iyi yauya pamusoro pedu.”
Pea naʻa nau fealēleaʻaki ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tau kovi ko e meʻa ʻi hotau tehina, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻetau mamata ki he feinga ʻa hono laumālie, ʻi heʻene fakakole kiate kitautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te tau fie tokanga kiate ia; ko ia kuo tō ai ʻae mamahi ni kiate kitautolu.”
22 Rubheni akapindura akati, “Ko, handina kukuudzai here kuti murege kutadzira mukomana? Asi hamuna kuda kunditeerera! Zvino tinofanira kuzvidavirira nokuda kweropa rake.”
Pea lea ʻa Lupeni kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai ne u lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa mou fai hala ki he tamasiʻi, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga? Ko ia, vakai, ʻoku ʻeke foki ʻae totongi ʻo hono toto.”
23 Havana kuziva kuti Josefa aigona kuvanzwisisa, sezvo akanga achishandisa mududziri.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻoku ʻilo ʻe Siosefa ʻenau lea; he naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae tangata hiki lea.
24 Akabva pavari akatanga kuchema, asi pakarepo akadzoka kwavari akatauriranazve navo. Akaita kuti Simeoni atorwe kubva pakati pavo uye kuti asungwe vakatarisa.
Pea naʻe foki atu ia ʻiate kinautolu ʻo tangi; pea toe haʻu ia kiate kinautolu, ke nau alea, pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻa Simione ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo haʻi ia ʻi honau ʻao.
25 Josefa akarayira kuti masaga avo azadzwe nezviyo, vaise mari yomumwe nomumwe musaga rake, uye kuti vapiwe mbuva yorwendo rwavo. Shure kwokuitirwa kwavo izvi,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻa Siosefa ke fakafonu ʻenau ngaahi tangai ʻi he koane, pea ke toe ai ki he tangai ʻae tangata taki taha, ʻene paʻanga, pea ke tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ʻoho ke kai ʻi he hala; pea naʻe fai pehē ia kiate kinautolu.
26 vakatakudza mbongoro dzavo zviyo vakaenda.
Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻae koane ki heʻenau fanga asi, pea nau ʻalu.
27 Panzvimbo yavakavata usiku, mumwe wavo akazarura saga rake kuti atorere mbongoro yake zvokudya, akaona mari yake pamuromo wesaga rake.
Pea ʻi he toʻo ʻe honau tokotaha ʻene tangai ke ʻatu ʻae meʻakai ki heʻene ʻasi ʻi he fale talifononga, naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻene ngaahi paʻanga; he vakai naʻe ʻi he ngutu ʻoe tangai ia.
28 Akati kuna vamwe vake, “Mari yangu yadzoserwa. Heyi iri musaga rangu.” Mwoyo yavo yakati rukutu vakatarisana vachidedera, uye vakati, “Chiiko ichi chataitirwa naMwari?”
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Kuo toe ʻomi ʻeku ngaahi paʻanga; he vakai, ʻoku ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻeku tangai;” pea naʻe vaivai ai honau loto, pea nau manavahē, ʻo fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā eni kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu?”
29 Pavakasvika kuna baba vavo Jakobho munyika yeKenani, vakamuudza zvakanga zvaitika kwavari. Vakati,
Pea naʻa nau haʻu kia Sēkope ko e nau tamai ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe hoko kiate kinautolu; ʻo pehē,
30 “Murume anova ndiye ishe pamusoro penyika iyo akataura nesu nehasha uye akatiita sokunge taiva vasori munyika.
“Ko e tangata ʻoku ʻeiki ʻi he fonua, naʻe lea mālohi kiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē, Ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu ki he fonua.
31 Asi takati kwaari, ‘Tiri vanhu vakatendeka; hatisi vasori.
Pea mau tala kiate ia, ko e kau tangata moʻoni ʻakimautolu; ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau mataki ʻakimautolu.
32 Takanga tiri vanakomana gumi navaviri vababa vamwe chete. Mumwe haachipo, uye gotwe ndiye ana baba vedu zvino kuKenani.’”
Ko e kāinga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻakimautolu, ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe mau tamai, ko e tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai, pea ko e kimui ʻoku ʻi he ʻemau tamai he ʻaho ni, ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.”
33 “Ipapo murume anova ndiye ishe panyika iyo akati kwatiri, ‘Hechi chinhu chichandizivisa kana muri vanhu vakatendeka: Siyai mumwe wenyu neni pano, mugotakura zvokudya zvemhuri dzenyu dziri kuziya muende.
Pea ko e tangata, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fonua, naʻe pehē kiate kimautolu, “Te u ʻilo ʻi he meʻa ni, pe ko e kau tangata moʻoni ʻakinautolu; tuku mai homou tokoua ʻe tokotaha kiate au, pea mou ʻave ʻae meʻakai ki he honge ʻo homau ngaahi fale, pea mou ʻalu;
34 Asi muuye nomununʼuna wenyu gotwe kwandiri kuitira kuti ndigoziva kuti hamusi vasori, asi kuti muri vanhu vakatendeka. Ipapo ndichadzosera mumwe wenyu kwamuri, uye mungazotenga henyu muno munyika.’”
Pea mou ʻomi ki heni, homou tehina: ko ia te u ʻilo ai, ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu, ka ko e kau tangata moʻoni: pea te u toe tuku ai kiate kimoutolu homou tokoua, pea te mou fakatau ʻi he fonua ni.”
35 Pavakanga vachidurura masaga avo, wanei musaga romumwe nomumwe wavo makanga mune homwe yake yesirivha! Ivo nababa vavo pavakaona mari muhomwe, vakatya.
Pea ʻi heʻenau lingi ʻenau ngaahi tangai, pea nau vakai, naʻe ʻilo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene kato paʻanga ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene tangai: pea kuo mamata ʻakinautolu mo e nau tamai ki he ngaahi kato paʻanga, naʻa nau manavahē.
36 Baba vavo Jakobho vakati, “Mandipedzera vana vangu. Josefa haasisipo naSimeoni haasisipo, uye zvino munoda kutora Bhenjamini. Zvinhu zvose zviri kundimukira!”
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope ko e nau tamai kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fakamasiva au ʻi heʻeku fānau; kuo ʻikai ʻa Siosefa, pea kuo ʻikai mo Simione, pea te mou toe ʻave mo Penisimani; ʻoku kovi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate au.”
37 Ipapo Rubheni akati kuna baba vake, “Mungauraya henyu vanakomana vangu vaviri ava kana ndisina kudzoka naye kwamuri. Muisei mumaoko angu, ndichadzoka naye.”
Pea lea ʻa Lupeni ki heʻene tamai, ʻo pehē, “Tāmateʻi hoku foha ʻe toko ua, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻomi ia kiate koe; tuku mai ia ki hoku nima, pea te u toe ʻomi ia kiate koe.”
38 Asi Jakobho akati, “Mwanakomana wangu haangaburuki nemi kuti aende ikoko; mukoma wake akafa uye ndiye chete asara. Kana zvakaipa zvikamuwira parwendo rwamuri kufamba, muchaburutsira musoro wangu wachena muguva mukusuwa.” (Sheol h7585)
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai ʻalu hifo hoku foha mo kimoutolu, he kuo mate hono tokoua, pea ʻoku toe tokotaha pe ia; pea kapau ʻe hoko ha kovi kiate ia ʻi he hala ʻoku mou ʻalu ai, te mou ʻomi hoku ʻuluhinā ki he faʻitoka ʻi he mamahi.” (Sheol h7585)
