2 Yono mwe lusango wa Yakomba.
Muze mukweze Yosefwe te ali ni miaka 17, te kanafungu mapanga ni ana ja Mbila ni ana ja Zelupa, mapwo ja tato. Chocho Yosefwe yalweza tato yuma yipi yize te ayayo akulinga.
3 Izalele te kakuzanga chinji Yosefwe kuhiana ana jenyi akwo, mumu iye kapwile mwana wa mu ushinakaji wenyi. Kashika yatuma kumutongela chimwe chikuto chalipwila.*
4 Muze ayayo amwene ngwo tato te kakumuzanga chinji kuhiana ayo, yaputuka kumuvwila kole, kashika te keshi kuhasa kuhanjika nenyi kanawa.*
5 Kulutwe, Yosefwe yalota chimwe chilota mba yachambulula kuli ayayo, kashika yawana chitela chikwo cha kumuvwila kole.
6 Yamba kuli ayayo ngwenyi: “Lisesa, panjikenu kama chilota chize nalotanga.
7 Te tunakase yichita ya tiliku mukachi ka munda, mba chichita chami yichikatuka, yichimana, chocho yichita yenu yiyijingilika chichita chami ni kufulamana ku chichita chami.”
8 Ayayo yamba kuli iye ngwo: “Chamwenemwene lume mulipwisa mwanangana hali yetu ni kutuyula nyi?” Chocho, chino yichipwa nawa chitela chikwo cha kumuvwila kole, mumu lia yilota yenyi ni yuma yize ambile.
9 Kulutwe lia chino, iye yalota nawa chilota chikwo mba yachambulula kuli ayayo ngwenyi: “Nalotanga chilota chikwo, ha chisuho chino, tangwa, kakweji ni tutongonoshi 11 yafulamananga kumeso jami.”
10 Mba yachambulula kuli tato ni kuli ayayo, alioze tato kazangile yize iye ambile, chocho yamwamba ngwenyi: “Chilota chino walotanga yika chinalumbunuka? Shina chamwenemwene yami, noko ni ayayenu mutukafulamana hashi kumeso je nyi?”
11 Ayayo yamuvwila ukwa, alioze tato yafunga maliji jenyi mu mbunge.
12 Chocho, ayayo yaya ni kulisa mapanga a tato hakamwihi ni Shekeme.
13 Kulutwe, Izalele yamba kuli Yosefwe ngwenyi: “Ayayenu kanafungu yimuna hakamwihi ni Shekeme, tweya ngukutume kuli ayo.” Iye yamba ngwenyi: “Yami uno!”
14 Yamba kuli iye ngwenyi: “Lisesa, yako utale chize ayayenu ali. Utala nawa chize yimuna ali, mba ungunehene sango.” Chocho yamutuma, yakatuka mu mungulunga* wa Heprone yaya ku Shekeme.
15 Kulutwe, umwe lunga yamuwana kanendangana mu yambu. Mba lunga wacho yamuhula ngwenyi: “Yika unafupu?”
16 Iye yamukumbulula ngwenyi: “Ngunafupu ayaya. Lisesa, ngulweze kama kulihi ayo anafungila yimuna?”
17 Lunga yamukumbulula ngwenyi: “Ayo kuno akatuka, mumu nevwa kanambe ngwo: ‘Tuyenu ku Ndotane.’” Chocho Yosefwe yakaula ayayo, yaawana ku Ndotane.
18 O yamumwena kusuku, mba shimbu te kanda achikundama, yaputuka kumutwama punga hanga amushihe.
19 Yaliamba umwe ni mukwo ngwo: “Talenu! Mukwa-yilota kaneza.
20 Tweyenu tumushihe, tumumbile mu wina, mutukamba ngwetu umwe kashitu wamulia, mba tutale chize yilota yenyi muyipwa.”
21 Muze Rupene achivwile, yazanga kumupulula ku moko jo, yamba ngwenyi: “Kanda tumushiha.”*
22 Rupene yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Kanda numwanga manyinga. Mumbilenu mu wina uno mu puya, kanda numulinga upi.”* Nyonga lienyi liapwile kumupulula ku moko jo hanga amuhilwise kuli tato.
23 Mba muze Yosefwe ahetele, ayayo yamuzula chikuto, chikuto chalipwila chize te anazala,
24 yamukwata, yamukonga mu wina. Ha mashimbu jacho, mu wina wacho mwapwile mwamokomoko, te kumushi meya.
25 Chocho yatwama hanga alie. Muze ahetwile meso, yamona chizavu cha A-Ishemali waze te anakatuka ku Ngiliate. Tumelu two te kanambata ulimbo wa landanu, maji a lupembo mupema ni yula ya mutondo yize yili ni ulimbo, te kanapalumukina ku Engitu.
26 Yunda yamba kuli mandumbu jenyi ngwenyi: “Nyi twashiha mwana-kwetu ni kushikila manyinga jenyi, yika mutuzuka?
27 Kanda tumulinga upi niumwe, tumulanjisenu kuli A-Ishemali. Mumu iye kali ndumbwetu, tuli manyinga* amuwika.” Chocho o yapanjika yize Yunda ambile.
28 Mba muze akwa-kulanjisa A-Mindiane te anapalika, ayayo yasosa Yosefwe ni kumutuhwisa mu wina, yamulanjisa kuli A-Ishemali ha ndando ya 20 a mbongo ja prata. Atu wano yambata Yosefwe ku Engitu.
29 Kulutwe, muze Rupene ayile nawa ku wina, yamona ngwenyi Yosefwe keshimo, yasuwa mazalo jenyi.
30 Muze ahilukile kuli ana-kwo yalishimwoka ngwenyi: “Mukweze katoka! Mba kuchi mungulinga?”
31 Chocho, yanda chikuto cha Yosefwe, yashiha kuji wa pembe, yachichupika mu manyinga.
32 Mba yatuma chikuto chacho chalipwila kuli tato ni maliji wano ngwo: “Twawana chikuto chino. Lisesa, chitale kanawa hanga umone nyi cha mwane, nyi ka.”
33 Iye yachitala kanawa, yakololoka ngwenyi: “Chikuto cha mwanami! Kota umwe kashitu wamulia. Pundu lume Yosefwe hanamusasujola!”
34 Mba Yakomba yasuwa mazalo jenyi, yajichika chikeleyi* mu zalilo, yalila mwanenyi ha matangwa anji.
35 Ana jenyi eswe a malunga ni a mapwo yazanga kumulembejeka, alioze iye katayijile kumulembejeka, yamba ngwenyi: “Mungulila mwanami ndo tangwa lize mungwiza kafwa!”* Chocho iye yanunga ni kulila mwanenyi.
36 A-Mindiane yalanjisa Yosefwe ku Engitu kuli Potifwa, umwe kaliamanga ka Falau, mwata wa tufunga.
