Siku za maombolezo zilipotimia, Yusufu akaongea na watumishi wa baraza la kifalme wa Farao kusema, “Ikiwa nimepata kibali machoni penu, tafadharini ongeeni na Farao, kusema,
5 Naʻe puleʻi au ʻe heʻeku tamai ke u fuakava, ʻo pehē, Vakai, teu mate: pea te ke tanu au ʻi he faʻitoka naʻaku ngaohi maʻaku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani. Pea ko eni ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻalu ʻo tanu ʻeku tamai, pea te u toe haʻu.”
'Baba yangu aliniapisha, kusema, “Tazama, ninakaribia kufa. Unizike katika kaburi nililolichimba kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe katika nchi ya Kanaani. Ndipo utakaponizika.” Basi sasa niruhusu niende nimzike baba yangu, na kisha nitarudi.”

Farao akajibu, “Nenda na umzika baba yako, kama alivyokuwapisha.”

Yusufu akaenda kumzika baba yake. Maofisa wa Farao wote wakaenda pamoja naye - washauri wa nyumba yake, maofisa waandamizi wote wa nchi ya Misri,

Hata walipokuja katika sakafu ya kupuria ya Atadi upande mwingine wa Yordani, wakaomboleza kwa majonzi ya huzuni kubwa. Yusufu akafanya maombolezo ya siku saba kwa ajili ya babaye pale.

Wenyeji wa nchi, Wakanaani, walipoona maombolezo katika sakafu ya Atadi, wakasema, “Hili ni tukio la kuhuzunisha sana kwa Wamisri.” Ndiyo maana eneo hilo likaitwa Abeli Mizraimu, lililoko mbele ya Yordani.
12 Pea naʻe fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau.

Baada ya kuwa amemzika babaye, Yusufu akarudi Misri, yeye, pamoja na ndugu zake, na wote waliokuwa wamemsindikiza ili kumzika babaye.
15 Pea kuo mamata ʻe he ngaahi tokoua ʻo Siosefa, kuo pekia ʻa ʻenau tamai, naʻa nau pehē, “E fehiʻa nai ʻa Siosefa kiate kitautolu, mo totongi kiate kitautolu ʻae kovi kotoa pē naʻa tau fai kiate ia.”
Nduguze Yusufu walipoona kwamba baba yao amekufa, wakasema, “Itakuwaje ikiwa Yusufu atatukasirikia na akataka kutulipa kikamilifu kwa ajili ya uovu tuliomtenda?”
16 Pea naʻa nau fekau ʻae tokotaha ke ʻalu kia Siosefa ʻo lea pehē, naʻe fekau ʻe hoʻo tamai ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ʻo pehē,
Hivyo wakamwagiza Yusufu, kusema, “Baba yako alitoa maelekezo kabla hajafa, kusema,
17 “Te mou lea pehē kia Siosefa, ‘ʻOku ou kole ni kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻae kovi ʻa ho ngaahi tokoua mo ʻenau fai hala;’ he naʻa nau fai kovi kiate koe: pea ko eni, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai.” Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻenau lea kiate ia.
'Mwambieni hivi Yusufu, “Tafadhari samehe makosa ya ndugu zako na dhambi yao uovu waliokutenda.” Basi wasamehe watumishi wa Mungu wa baba yako.” Yusufu akalia walipomwambia.
18 Pea ʻalu hono ngaahi tokoua ʻo foʻohifo ʻi hono ʻao; ʻo nau lea pehē, “Vakai mai, ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu.”
Ndugu zake pia wakaenda na kuinamisha nyuso zao mbele zake. Wakasema, “Tazama, sisi ni watumishi wako.”
19 Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua te mou manavahē; he ko e fetongi au ʻoe ʻOtua?
Lakini Yusufu akawajibu, “Msiogope, Je mimi ni badala ya Mungu?

Hivyo basi msiogope. Nitawahudumia ninyi na watoto wenu wadogo.” Kwa njia hii aliwatia moyo na kuongea na mioyo yao kwa upole.
22 Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Siosefa ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻa ia, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai; pea ko e moʻui ʻa Siosefa ko e taʻu ʻe teau, mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu.
Yusufu akakaa Misri, pamoja na familia ya baba yake. Akaishi miaka mia moja na kumi.
23 Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Siosefa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi, ko e toʻutangata ʻe tolu ko e fānau foki ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase, naʻe ʻomi ʻo tuku ki he funga tui ʻo Siosefa.
Yusufu akawaona wana wa Efraimu hata kizazi cha tatu. Pia aliwaona wana wa Makiri mwana wa Manase, waliowekwa katika magoti ya Yusufu.
24 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Teu mate au; pea ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, ʻo ʻave ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ni, ki he fonua naʻa ne fuakava ki ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope.”
Yusufu akawambia ndugu zake, “Ninakaribia kufa; lakini kwa hakika Mungu atawajilia na kuwaongoza kutoka katika nchi hii na kuwapeleka katika nch aliyoapa kumpa Ibrahimu, kwa Isaka na kwa Yakobo.”
25 Pea naʻe fai kia Siosefa ʻae fuakava ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou fetuku hoku ngaahi hui mei heni.”
Kisha Yusufu akawaapisha watu wa Israeli kwa kiapo. Akasema, “Bila shaka Mungu atawajilia. Wakati huo mtachukuwa mifupa yangu kutoka hapa.”
26 Pea naʻe pekia ai ʻa Siosefa, kuo teau taʻu, mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu hono motuʻa: pea naʻa nau fakatolongaʻi ia, pea nau ai ia ki he puha ʻi ʻIsipite.
Hivyo Yusufu akafa, mwenye miaka 110. Wakampaka dawa na akawekwa katika jeneza huko Misri.
