1 Yakobo akaishi katika nchi aliyokaa babaye, katika nchi ya Kanaani.
Menina Jekopu'a agri nefa zoka mani'neno hu'nea mopare Kenani mani'ne.
2 Haya ndiyo matukio yaliyomhusu Yakobo. Yusufu, aliyekuwa kijana wa miaka kumi na saba, alikuwa akilichunga kundi pamoja na ndugu zake. Alikuwa pamoja na wana wa Bilha na pamoja na wana wa Zilpa, wake wa baba yake. Yusufu akaleta taarifa yao mbaya kwa baba yao.
Ama'i Jekopu naga nofimofo naneke. Josefe'a 17ni'a zagegafu nehuno, nehaza ne' mani'neno nefu'zane afutami kegava hu'ne. Bilhane, Zilpagizni nefa a'tremokizini mofavre'mozane kegava hu'naze. Josefe'a nefu'za havizama nehazankea erino nezmafana ome asami'ne.
3 Basi Israeli akampenda Yusufu kuliko wanawe wote kwa sababu alikuwa mwana wa uzee wake. Akamshonea vazi zuri.
Hagi Israeli'a (Jekopu'a) miko ne'mofavre'afintira, Josefena tusiza huno avesinte'ne. Na'ankure agra ravusefinka ante'neankino, agra avasese'ane kena tro huno antaninte'ne.
4 Ndugu zake wakaona kwamba baba yao alimpenda sana kuliko ndugu zake wote. Wakamchukia na hawakuongea naye vema.
Ana hige'za Josefe nefu'za, kazama nezmafa'ma tusiza huno agri'ma avesinentege'za nege'za, zamagra avesi nonte'za knare hu'za fru keaga huomi'naze.
5 Yusufu akaota ndoto, na akawambia ndugu zake. Wakamchukia zaidi.
Hagi mago kenagera Josefe'a ava'na keteno, afuhe'mokizmi ana avana kea zamasmige'za, zamagra mago'ene tusiza hu'za zamarimpa ahente'naze.
6 Aliwambia, “Tafadhari sikilizeni ndoto hii niliyoiota.
Josefe'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Muse (plis) hurmantoanki ava'nama ke'noa zamofo nanekea antahiho,
7 Tazama, tulikuwa tukifunga miganda ya nafaka shambani na tazama, mganda wangu ukainuka na kusimama wima, na tazama, miganda yenu ikasogea na kuuinamia mganda wangu”
hozafi witi ananekunkeno nagri witimo'a oti fatgo higeno, tamagri witimo'za regagi'za, nagri witirera kepri hu'naze.
8 Ndugu zake wakamwambia, “Je ni kweli utatutawala? Je utatutawala juu yetu? Hata wakamchukia zaidi kwa ajili ya ndoto zake na maneno yake.
Anante nefu'za amanage hu'za antahige'naze, tagrira tagaterenka kagra kini mani'za nehano. Tamage hunka kegava hurante'za nehano, nehu'za mago'ene zamasigu hunente'za, agri avana kene, ke'anena ontahi'naze.
9 Akaota ndoto nyingine na kuwasimulia ndugu zake. Alisema, “Tazama, nimeota ndoto nyingine: Jua na mwezi na nyota kumi na moja ziliniinamia.”
Anante mago'ene ava'na keteno afuhe'i amanage huno zamasami'ne, Antahiho, mago'ene ava'nagoana, zagene, ikane, 11ni'a ofumo'za nagrite kepri hunante'naze.
10 Akamwambia baba yake vile vile alivyowambia ndugu zake, na baba yake akamkemea. Akamwambia, Je umeota ndoto ya namna gani hii? Je mama yako na mimi na ndugu zako kweli tutakuja kukuinamia mpaka chini?”
Josefe'a anage huno nefane, afuhe'inena nezmasmigeno, nafa'amo'a amanage huno kesune, Kagra nankna ava'na negane? Nagrane, negrera'ene negafu'zanena tamage huta kagrite kepri hugahuno?
11 Ndugu zake wakamwonea wivu, lakini baba yake akaliwema jambo hilo moyoni.
Agri afuhe'za amefi'a ke hunte'nazanagi, nefa'a hakare'a nanekea antahi antahifi atre'ne.
12 Ndugu zake wakaenda kulichunga kundi la baba yao huko Shekemu.
Mago'zupa agri nefu'za, nezmafa afutami avre'za traza nehogu Sekemu vu'nazageno,
13 Israeli akamwambia Yusufu, 'Je ndugu zako hawalichungi kundi huko Shekemu? Njoo, nami nitakutuma kwao.” Yusufu akamwambia, “nipo tayari.”
Israeli'a amanage huno Josefena asami'ne, Negafu'za afuzaga zamavare'za Sekemu traza me'nerega ome zamante'za mani'nazanki ege'na, huganta'nena vuo. Higeno Josefe'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra vugahue.
14 Akamwambia, “Basi nenda, uwaone ndugu zako na kundi wanaendeleaje, na uniletee neno.” Hivyo Yakobo akamtuma kutoka katika bonde la Hebroni, na Yusufu akaenda Shekemu.
Higeno nefa'a amanage huno Josefena asmi'ne, Menina vunka negafuzane, afuzaganena knare hu'za mani'nafi ome ketenka, ete enka kea eme nasmio. Anage nehuno huntegeno Hebroni agupofinti vuno Sekemu uhanati'ne.
15 Mtu mmoja akamwona Yusufu. Tazama, Yusufu alikuwa akizunguka kondeni. Yule mtu akamwuliza, “Unatafuta nini?”
Anantega ome hakeno vano nehigeno mago ne'mo anampi negeno anage huno antahige'ne, na'anku kagra nehakrane?
16 Yusufu akamwambia, “Nawatafuta ndugu zangu. Tafadhari, niambie, wananalichunga wapi kundi.”
Higeno Josefe'a anage hu'ne, Nagra nafuhemokizmigu nehakroanki, muse (plis) hugantoanki inantega afu'zmia kegava hu'za mani'nafi nasmio?
17 Yule mtu akasema, “Waliondoka mahali hapa, kwa maana niliwasikia wakisema, 'Haya twende Dothani.” Yusufu akawafuata ndugu zake na kuwaona huko Dothani.
Higeno ana ne'mo'a anage huno asamine, Amafinti atre'za vunaku nehu'za, Dotani vanune nehazage'na antahi'noe. Higeno Josefe'a zamage zamavaririno vuno afuhe'ina Dotani ome zamageno erifore hu'ne.
18 Wakamwona kutokea mbali, na kabla hajawakaribia, wakapanga njama ya kumwua.
Hagi Josefe'a afete ne-eno eravao osu'nege'za afuhe'za nege'za, ahe frigahune hu'za kea retro hu'naze.
19 Ndugu zake wakaambiana wao kwa wao, “Tazama, mwotaji anakaribia.
Zamagra zamagra ke hugantugama hu'za amanage hu'naze, ava'na kege nera antu e!
20 Njoni sasa, na tumwue na kumtupa katika mojawapo ya mashimo haya. Nasi tutasema, 'Mnyama mkali amemrarua.' Nasi tutaona ndoto zake zitakuwaje.”
Hanki menina enketa aheta keri kampi mate'vuta nevazita, amanage hugahune. Afi zagamo aheno ne'ne, nehuta avana ke'amo'a inankna hugahifi kesune!
21 Rubeni alilisikia hilo na kumwokoa kutoka katika mikono yao. Alisema, “Tusiuondoe uhai wake.”
Ana hianagi Rubeni'a ana naneke nentahino, aza hunaku anage hu'ne, atrenketa ahe ofrisanune.
22 Rubeni aliwambia, “Msimwage damu. Mtupeni katika shimo hili lililopo nyikani, lakini msiweke mikono yenu juu yake” - ili kwamba aweze kumwokoa katika mikono yao na kumrudisha kwa baba yake.
Rubeni'a mago'ene amanage huno zamagrira zamasami'ne, Aheta korana eri oragi'sunanki, amima ka'ma kopima me'nea kerifi oheta avre vazisanune. Ana hanageno agra aza huno avreno nefa ome amisigu hu'ne.
23 Ikawa Yusufu alipowafikia ndugu zake, walimvua vazi lake zuri.
Hanki Josefe'ma eno afuhe'inte'ma ehanatige'za, zamagra azeriza, knare avasese'ane za'za kena nefa'ma antaninte'neana zafi netre'za,
24 Wakamchukua na kumtupa shimoni. Shimo lilikuwa tupu bila maji.
zamagra azeri'za tinkeri kampi matevu atre'naze. Ana kerifina tina omnene.
25 Wakakaa chini kula mkate. Walipoinua macho yao na kuangalia, na, tazama, msafara wa Waishmaeli ulikuwa ukija kutoka Gileadi, pamoja na ngamia wao waliochukua viungo, malhamu na manemane. Walikuwa wakisafiri kuvichukua kuelekea Misri.
Ana hute'za, zamagra mani'ne'za ne'za nenaku nehu'za, kesga hu'za zamavua kazana, avazu hunte'za Ismaeli vahe'mo'za Giliatiti ne-eza, kemorizmifi gamune, fukinkna masave tusa masave kregefe'neane (bam) mana'nentake'za mere'ne eri'za Isipi zagore ome atrenaku e'naze.
26 Yuda akawambia ndugu zake, “Ni faida gani kama tutamwua ndugu yetu na kufunika damu yake?
Juda'a amanage huno afuhe'mokizigura hu'ne, Neregnama aheta korama'a eri tagisuta nankna miza erigahune?
27 Haya, na tumwuze kwa Waishmaeli na wala tusiweke mikono yetu juu yake. Kwani yeye ni ndugu yetu, nyama yetu.” Ndugu zake wakamsikiliza.
Agra tagri kora mani'negu ohesunanki, enketa Ismaeli vahete Josefena mizante atramneno. Hige'za nefu'za ana nanekere mago zamarimpa hu'naze.
28 Wafanyabiashara wa Kimidiani wakapita. Ndugu zake wakamwinua na kumtoa Yusufu shimoni. Wakamwuza Yusufu kwa Waishmaeli kwa vipande ishirini vya fedha. Waishmaeli wakamchukua Yusufu mpaka Misri.

29 Rubeni akarudi kwenye shimo, na, tazama, Yusufu hakuwemo shimoni. Akararua mavazi yake.
Rubeni'a keri avazare eno keana Josefe'a kerifi omani'negeno kukena'a sgane sagnu hu'ne.
30 Akarudi kwa ndugu zake na kusema, “Kijana yuko wapi? Na mimi, je niende wapi?”
Aganahe'inte agra uhanatino amanage hu'ne, Ana mofavre'a omani'ne. Hanki nagra inankna hugahue?
31 Wakachinja mbuzi na kisha wakalichukua vazi la Yusufu na kulichovya katika damu.
Hige'za zamagra Josefe avasese'ane kena eri'za, ve meme ahe'za ana za'za kena'a korama'afi re'za ti'za hute'za,
32 Kisha wakalipeleka kwa baba yao na kusema, “Tumeiona hii. Tafadhari angalia kwamba ni vazi la mwanao au hapana.”

33 “Yakobo akaitambua na kusema, “Ni nguo ya mwanangu. Mnyama wa mwitu amemrarua. Bila shaka Yusufu ameraruliwa katika vipande.
Hazageno keteno amanage hu'ne, Ama'i nagri ne'mofavremofo za'za kene. Afi zagagafamo aheno ne'ne, tamage huno Josefena amprino anitraga trogo hutre'negahie!
34 Yakobo akararua mavazi yake na kuvaa mavazi ya magunia katika viuno vyake. Akaomboleza kwa ajili ya mwanawe siku nyingi.
Anage nehuno Jekopu'a kukena'a braro bruru huno tanefa kateno kukena'are nefreno za'za kna ne'mofonkura huno zavira ate'ne.
35 Wanawe na binti zake wote wakainuka na kumfariji, lakini alikataa kufarijiwa. Akasema, “Hakika nitashuka kuzimu nikimwombolezea mwanangu.” Babaye akamlilia. (Sheol h7585)

36 Wamidiani wakamwuza huko Misri kwa Potifa, afisa wa Farao, kepteni wa walinzi.
