1. | UYosefu akabanga nakuzibamba phambi kwabo bonke ababemi ngakuye. Wadanduluka wathi, Khuphani bonke abantu, bemke kum. Akwabakho mntu umi ngakuye ekuzaziseni kukaYosefu kubazalwana bakhe. |
2. | Wasibeka isililo; eva amaYiputa, yeva nendlu kaFaro. |
3. | Wathi uYosefu kubazalwana bakhe, NdinguYosefu; usaphilile na ubawo? Ababa nako ukumphendula abazalwana bakhe; kuba bakhwankqiswa phambi kwakhe. |
4. | Wathi, uYosefu kubazalwana bakhe, Khanisondele kum apha. Basondela. Wathi, NdinguYosefu, umzalwana wenu, enathengisayo ngaye eYiputa. |
5. | Ngoko musani ukuba buhlungu, ningaziqumbeli, ukuba nathengisa ngam apha; kuba uThixo wandithuma phambi kwenu ukuze ndisindise abantu. |
6. | Kuba ngoku iminyaka mibini indlala ikho phakathi kwelizwe; isemihlanu iminyaka ezayo, ekungayi kubakho kulima nakuvuna ngayo. |
7. | UThixo undithume phambi kwenu, ukuba ndinimisele amasalela ezweni, ukuba ndisindise ubomi benu, ibe kukusinda okukhulu. |
8. | Ngoko ke asinini abandithume apha, nguThixo; wandenza uyise kuFaro, nenkosi phezu kwayo yonke indlu yakhe, nomlawuli ezweni lonke laseYiputa. |
9. | Khawulezani, ninyuke niye kubawo, nithi kuye, Utsho unyana wakho uYosefu ukuthi, UThixo undenze inkosi kuyo yonke iYiputa; yihla uze kum, musa ukulibala. |
10. | Wohlala ezweni laseGoshen, ube kufuphi kum, wena, noonyana bakho, noonyana boonyana bakho, nempahla yakho emfutshane, neenkomo zakho, nezinto zonke onazo; |
11. | ndikondle khona, kuba isaya kuba mihlanu iminyaka yendlala; hleze uhlwempuzeke wena, nendlu yakho, nento yonke onayo. |
12. | Yabonani, amehlo enu ayabona, namehlo omninawa wam uBhenjamin, ukuba ngumlomo wam lo uthethayo kuni. |
13. | Nize nimxelele ubawo lonke uzuko lwam eYiputa, nezinto zonke enizibonileyo, nikhawuleze nihle nobawo, eze apha. |
14. | Wawa entanyeni kaBhenjamin, umninawa wakhe, walila; uBhenjamin walila entanyeni yakhe. |
15. | Wabanga bonke abazalwana bakhe, walila phezu kwabo. Emveni koko, abazalwana bakhe bathetha naye. |
16. | Lavakala izwi endlwini kaFaro, lisithi, Bafikele abazalwana bakaYosefu. Kwalunga oko emehlweni kaFaro, nasemehlweni abakhonzi bakhe. |
17. | Wathi uFaro kuYosefu, Yithi kubazalwana bakho, Yenzani oku: bophani amaqegu enu, nihambe niye ezweni lakwaKanan, |
18. | nithabathe uyihlo nezindlu zenu, nise kum apha. Ndoninika izinto ezilungileyo zelizwe laseYiputa, nidle ukutyeba kwelizwe. |
19. | Wena ke uwiselwe umthetho, yenzani oku; bathabatheleni abantwana benu, nabafazi benu, iinqwelo ezweni laseYiputa, nithwale uyihlo, nize. |
20. | Iliso lenu malingabi nanceba empahleni yenu, kuba zonke izinto ezilungileyo zelizwe lonke laseYiputa zezenu. |
21. | Benjenjalo ke oonyana bakaSirayeli. UYosefu wabanika iinqwelo ngokomthetho kaFaro; wabanika nomphako wendlela. |
22. | Wabanika bonke elowo iingubo zokukhululana. Wamnika uBhenjamin iisilivere ezimakhulu mathathu, neengubo ezintlanu zokukhululana. |
23. | Kuyise wathumela ezilolu hlobo: amaesile alishumi, ethwele izinto ezilungileyo zaseYiputa, neemazi zamaesile ezilishumi, zithwele ingqolowa, nesonka, nomphako kayise wendlela. |
24. | Wabandulula ke abazalwana bakhe, bahamba; wathi kubo, Ize ningaxabani endleleni. |
25. | Benyuka, bemke ke eYiputa, bafika ezweni lakwaKanan kuYakobi uyise. |
26. | Bamxelela besithi, UYosefu usahleli; ewe, ungumphathi welizwe lonke laseYiputa. Yaqoba intliziyo yakhe, kuba ebengakholwa ngabo. |
27. | Bawathetha kuye onke amazwi kaYosefu, abewathethile kubo. Wazibona iinqwelo abezithumele uYosefu, ukuba zimthwale; waza waphila umoya kaYakobi uyise. |
28. | Wathi uSirayeli, Kwanele. UYosefu unyana wam usahleli. Ndiya kuya ndimbone, ndingekafi. |
