1 Wakati huu njaa ilikuwa bado ni kali mno katika nchi.
and [the] famine heavy in/on/with land: country/planet
2 Hivyo wakati walikuwa wamemaliza kula nafaka yote waliyoileta kutoka Misri, Yakobo baba yao akawaambia, “Rudini Misri mkatununulie chakula kingine zaidi.”
and to be like/as as which to end: expend to/for to eat [obj] [the] grain which to come (in): bring from Egypt and to say to(wards) them father their to return: again to buy grain to/for us little food
3 Lakini Yuda akamwambia, “Mtu yule alituonya kwa msisitizo, ‘Hamtauona uso wangu tena mpaka mje na ndugu yenu.’
and to say to(wards) him Judah to/for to say to testify to testify in/on/with us [the] man to/for to say not to see: see face my lest brother: male-sibling your with you
4 Kama utakubali ndugu yetu aende pamoja nasi, tutakwenda kuwanunulia chakula.
if there you to send: depart [obj] brother: male-sibling our with us to go down and to buy grain to/for you food
5 Lakini ikiwa hutamruhusu aende, hatutakwenda, kwa sababu mtu yule alituambia, ‘Hamtauona uso wangu tena mpaka mje pamoja na ndugu yenu.’”
and if nothing you to send: depart not to go down for [the] man to say to(wards) us not to see: see face my lest brother: male-sibling your with you
6 Israeli akauliza, “Kwa nini mkaniletea taabu hii kwa kumwambia yule mtu mlikuwa na ndugu mwingine?”
and to say Israel to/for what? be evil to/for me to/for to tell to/for man still to/for you brother: male-sibling
7 Wakamjibu, “Yule mtu alituhoji kwa undani sana habari zetu na za jamaa yetu. Alituuliza, ‘Je, baba yenu bado yungali hai? Je mnaye ndugu mwingine?’ Sisi tulimjibu maswali yake tu. Tungewezaje kujua kwamba angesema, ‘Mleteni mdogo wenu hapa’?”
and to say to ask to ask [the] man to/for us and to/for relatives our to/for to say still father your alive there to/for you brother: male-sibling and to tell to/for him upon lip: according [the] word [the] these to know to know for to say to go down [obj] brother: male-sibling your
8 Ndipo Yuda akamwambia baba yake Israeli, “Mtume kijana pamoja nami, nasi tutaondoka mara, ili sisi na wewe pamoja na watoto wetu tuweze kuishi, wala tusife.
and to say Judah to(wards) Israel father his to send: depart [emph?] [the] youth with me and to arise: rise and to go: went and to live and not to die also we also you(m. s.) also child our
9 Mimi mwenyewe nitakuhakikishia usalama wake, mimi mwenyewe nitawajibika kumrudisha. Ikiwa sitamrudisha kwako na kumweka mbele yako, nitakuwa mwenye lawama mbele yako maisha yangu yote.
I to pledge him from hand my to seek him if not to come (in): bring him to(wards) you and to set him to/for face: before your and to sin to/for you all [the] day: always
10 Hakika, kama hatukuchelewa kuondoka, tungekuwa tumekwenda na kurudi mara mbili.”
for unless to delay for now to return: return this beat
11 Basi baba yao Israeli akawaambia, “Kama ni lazima iwe hivyo, basi fanyeni hivi: Wekeni baadhi ya mazao bora ya nchi katika mifuko yenu na mpelekeeni yule mtu kama zawadi, zeri kidogo, asali kidogo, vikolezo, manemane, kungu na lozi.
and to say to(wards) them Israel father their if so then this to make: do to take: take from best [the] land: country/planet in/on/with article/utensil your and to go down to/for man offering: gift little balsam and little honey tragacanth gum and myrrh pistachio and almond
12 Chukueni fedha mara mbili, kwa kuwa mtazirudisha zile fedha zilizowekwa midomoni mwa magunia yenu. Labda ziliwekwa kwa makosa.
and silver: money second to take: take in/on/with hand: themselves your and [obj] [the] silver: money [the] to return: return in/on/with lip sack your to return: return in/on/with hand: themselves your perhaps mistake he/she/it
13 Mchukueni ndugu yenu pia mrudi kwa huyo mtu mara moja.
and [obj] brother: male-sibling your to take: take and to arise: rise to return: again to(wards) [the] man
14 Naye Mungu Mwenyezi awajalieni rehema mbele ya huyo mtu ili apate kumwachia yule ndugu yenu na Benyamini mweze kurudi pamoja. Kwangu mimi kama nikufiwa nimefiwa.”
and God Almighty to give: give to/for you compassion to/for face: before [the] man and to send: depart to/for you [obj] brother: male-sibling your another and [obj] Benjamin and I like/as as which be bereaved be bereaved
15 Basi hao watu wakazichukua zile zawadi na zile fedha mara mbili pamoja na Benyamini. Wakafanya haraka kwenda Misri na walipofika wakajionyesha kwa Yosefu.
and to take: take [the] human [obj] [the] offering: gift [the] this and second silver: money to take: take in/on/with hand: to their and [obj] Benjamin and to arise: rise and to go down Egypt and to stand: stand to/for face: before Joseph
16 Yosefu alipomwona Benyamini pamoja nao, akamwambia msimamizi wa nyumba yake, “Wachukue watu hawa nyumbani kwangu, mchinje mnyama na kuandalia chakula kwa kuwa watakula chakula cha mchana pamoja nami.”
and to see: see Joseph with them [obj] Benjamin and to say to/for which upon house: home his to come (in): bring [obj] [the] human [the] house: home [to] and to slaughter slaughter and to establish: prepare for with me to eat [the] human in/on/with midday
17 Yule Msimamizi akafanya kama Yosefu alivyomwambia na akawachukua wale watu nyumbani kwa Yosefu.
and to make: do [the] man like/as as which to say Joseph and to come (in): bring [the] man [obj] [the] human house: home [to] Joseph
18 Basi watu hao wakaogopa walipopelekwa nyumbani kwa Yosefu. Wakafikiri, “Tumeletwa hapa kwa ajili ya zile fedha zilizorudishwa katika magunia yetu mara ile ya kwanza. Anataka kutushambulia na kutushinda, atuchukue sisi kama watumwa, na atwae hawa punda zetu.”
and to fear [the] human for to come (in): bring house: home Joseph and to say upon word: because [the] silver: money [the] to return: return in/on/with sack our in/on/with beginning we to come (in): bring to/for to roll upon us and to/for to fall: fall upon us and to/for to take: take [obj] us to/for servant/slave and [obj] donkey our
19 Hivyo wakamwendea msimamizi wa nyumba wa Yosefu na kuzungumza naye kwenye ingilio la nyumbani.
and to approach: approach to(wards) [the] man which upon house: household Joseph and to speak: speak to(wards) him entrance [the] house: home
20 Wakasema, “Tafadhali bwana, tulikuja hapa mara ya kwanza kununua chakula.
and to say please lord my to go down to go down in/on/with beginning to/for to buy grain food
21 Lakini mahali pale tulipotua wakati wa jioni tulifungua magunia yetu, na kila mmoja wetu akakuta fedha zake, kwenye mdomo wa gunia lake kiasi kile kile tulicholeta. Kwa hiyo tumezirudisha.
and to be for to come (in): come to(wards) [the] lodging and to open [emph?] [obj] sack our and behold silver: money man: anyone in/on/with lip sack his silver: money our in/on/with weight his and to return: again [obj] him in/on/with hand: themselves our
22 Pia tumeleta fedha nyingine kwa ajili ya kununulia chakula. Hatujui ni nani aliziweka fedha hizo katika magunia yetu.”
and silver: money another to go down in/on/with hand: themselves our to/for to buy grain food not to know who? to set: put silver: money our in/on/with sack our
23 Akawaambia, “Vema, msiogope. Mungu wenu, Mungu wa baba yenu, amewapa ninyi hazina katika magunia yenu; mimi nilipokea fedha yenu.” Ndipo akawaletea Simeoni.
and to say peace to/for you not to fear God your and God father your to give: put to/for you treasure in/on/with sack your silver: money your to come (in): come to(wards) me and to come out: send to(wards) them [obj] Simeon
24 Msimamizi akawapeleka wale watu katika nyumba ya Yosefu, akawapa maji ya kunawa miguu na kuwapa punda wao majani.
and to come (in): bring [the] man [obj] [the] human house: home [to] Joseph and to give: give water and to wash: wash foot their and to give: give fodder to/for donkey their

and to establish: prepare [obj] [the] offering: gift till to come (in): come Joseph in/on/with midday for to hear: hear for there to eat food: bread
26 Yosefu alipokuja nyumbani, walimkabidhi zile zawadi walizokuwa nazo, ambazo walikuwa wamezileta mle nyumbani, nao wakamsujudia hadi nchi.
and to come (in): come Joseph [the] house: home [to] and to come (in): bring to/for him [obj] [the] offering: gift which in/on/with hand: to their [the] house: home [to] and to bow to/for him land: soil [to]
27 Akawauliza kuhusu hali yao, kisha akawaambia, “Yule baba yenu mzee mliyeniambia habari zake, yu hali gani? Je, bado yu hai?”
and to ask to/for them to/for peace: well-being and to say peace: well-being father your [the] old which to say still he alive
28 Wakamjibu, “Mtumishi wako baba yetu bado anaishi na ni mzima.” Kisha wakainama chini kumpa heshima.
and to say peace: well-being to/for servant/slave your to/for father our still he alive and to bow (and to bow *Q(K)*)
29 Alipotazama na kumwona Benyamini ndugu yake, mwana wa mama yake hasa, akauliza, “Je, huyu ndiye ndugu yenu wa mwisho, ambaye mlinieleza habari zake?” Ndipo akasema, “Mungu na akufadhili, mwanangu.”
and to lift: look eye his and to see: see [obj] Benjamin brother: male-sibling his son: child mother his and to say this brother: male-sibling your [the] small: young which to say to(wards) me and to say God be gracious you son: child my
30 Akiwa ameguswa sana kwa kumwona ndugu yake, Yosefu akatoka nje kwa haraka na kutafuta mahali pa kulilia. Akaingia kwenye chumba chake cha pekee na kulilia humo.
and to hasten Joseph for to grow warm compassion his to(wards) brother: male-sibling his and to seek to/for to weep and to come (in): come [the] chamber [to] and to weep there [to]
31 Baada ya kunawa uso wake, akatoka nje na huku akijizuia akasema, “Pakueni chakula.”
and to wash: wash face his and to come out: come and to refrain and to say to set: put food
32 Wakampakulia Yosefu peke yake, ndugu zake peke yao na Wamisri waliokula pamoja naye peke yao, kwa sababu Wamisri wasingeweza kula pamoja na Waebrania, kwa maana ilikuwa ni chukizo kwa Wamisri.
and to set: put to/for him to/for alone him and to/for them to/for alone them and to/for Egyptian [the] to eat with him to/for alone them for not be able [emph?] [the] Egyptian to/for to eat with [the] Hebrew food for abomination he/she/it to/for Egyptian
33 Watu hao walikuwa wameketi mbele yake kwa mfuatano wa umri wao, kuanzia mzaliwa wa kwanza hadi mzaliwa wa mwisho, wakatazamana wao kwa wao kwa mshangao.
and to dwell to/for face: before his [the] firstborn like/as birthright his and [the] little like/as youth his and to astounded [the] human man: anyone to(wards) neighbor his
34 Wakati walipelekewa sehemu ya chakula kutoka mezani mwa Yosefu, sehemu ya Benyamini ilikuwa mara tano zaidi ya sehemu ya wale wengine. Kwa hiyo wakanywa na kufurahi pamoja naye.
and to lift: bear tribute from with face: before his to(wards) them and to multiply tribute Benjamin from tribute all their five hand: times and to drink and be drunk with him
