42 Muze Yakomba hevwa ngwo, mu chifuchi cha Engitu kulia chilimo, yamba kuli ana jenyi ngwenyi: “Mumu liaka nunatwama chizechene ni kulitala umwe ni mukwo?”
2 Yamba nawa ngwenyi: “Nevwa ngwo, mu Engitu kulia chilimo, kashika, yenumo nutulanjile kulia hanga tuchine kufwa ni zala.”
3 Mandumbu ja Yosefwe kumi, yaya mu Engitu ni kulanda kulia.
4 Alioze Yakomba katayijile hanga Mbenjamine, mwana-kwo ya Yosefwe aye hamuwika ni ayayo, mumu yamba ngwenyi: “Hanji chimwe chuma chipi muchihasa kumuwana.”
5 Ana ja Izalele yaya hamuwika ni atu akwo waze te anayi ni kulanda kulia, mumu zala yanjilile mu chifuchi cha Kanana.
6 Yosefwe kapwile ni wata mu chifuchi cheswe, iye mwe te wakulanjisa kulia kuli atu a hashi heswe. Kashika, ayayo ja Yosefwe, yaheta, yafulamana hashi kumeso jenyi.
7 Muze Yosefwe amwene ayayo, hazehene yaanyingika, alioze iye kalisolwele kuli ayo. Kashika, yaahula ni ufwatulo ngwenyi: “Kuliko nunakatuka?” Ayo yakumbulula ngwo: “Ku chifuchi cha Kanana, tweza ni kulanda kulia.”
8 Chocho Yosefwe yanyingika ayayo, alioze ayo kahashile kumunyingika.
9 Hazehene, Yosefwe yewuluka yilota yize alotele hakutwala kuli ayo, mba yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Yenu nuli ngendeshi, nweza nutale haze mununjilila mu chifuchi chetu hanga nutulukukile!”
10 Mba ayo yamba kuli iye ngwo: “Hi chocho ko mwene wetu, tuvumbi twe keza hanga alande kulia.
11 Yetu eswe tuli ana a mutu umuwika. Twakuhanjika umwenemwene. Tuvumbi twenu hi ngendeshi ko.”
12 Alioze, iye yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Nunaliongo, nweza nutale haze mununjilila mu chifuchi chetu hanga nutulukukile!”
13 Ha chikuma chino, ayo yamba kuli iye ngwo: “Yetu tuvumbi twenu, twasemukine malunga 12, tuli ana a mutu umuwika mu chifuchi cha Kanana; mwana-kwetu wa kasula-songo kasala ni tata, alioze hakutwala kuli mukwo, katwamineko nawa.”
14 Alioze, Yosefwe yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Ngwe chize nanulweza: ‘Yenu nuli ngendeshi!’
15 Kashika, mungunweseka hanga ngunyingike nyi nunahanjika umwenemwene: Ngunalishingi ni mwono wa Falau ngwami, kunuchi kukatuka kuno nyi kunwanehene kasulasongo wenu.
16 Tumenu umwe wa kuli yenu, aye ni kusaka kasula-songo wenu, alioze yenu akwo munusala kuno mu zuwo lia ususu, mba mungunyingika nyi nunahanjika lume umwenemwene. Nyi ka, ni mwono wa Falau lume, nuli ngendeshi.”
17 Chocho, yaasa eswe mu zuwo lia ususu ha matangwa atatu.
18 Ha tangwa liamuchitatu, Yosefwe yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Lingenu chino mba nununge ni mwono, mumu yami nakuvumbika Zambi.
19 Nyi nwakuhanjika umwenemwene, umwe wa kuli mandumbu jenu asale mu zuwo lia ususu, alioze yenu akwo, munuhasa kuya nutwale kulia kuli asoko jenu hanga achine kufwa ni zala.
20 Kashika, ngunehenenu mwana-kwenu wa kanuke hanga ngunyingike ngwami nwahanjika umwenemwene, nuchine kufwa.” Ayo yalinga chocho.
21 Mba ayo yamba kuli umwe ni mukwo ngwo: “Kwamba pundu, kanatumwesa lamba lino mumu lia yize twalingile kuli mwana-kwetu, mumu twamwene yinyengo yenyi muze atwichile hanga tumuvwile keke, alioze kutwakamupanjikile. Kashika lamba lino liatuwana.”
22 Rupene yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Nanulwezele ngwami: ‘Kanda nulinga upi kuli kanuke.’ Alioze kunwakangupanjikile. Haliapwila kanatufwetesa mumu lia manyinga jenyi.”
23 Ayo te kanyingikine ngwo Yosefwe kanevuko, mumu iye te kanahanjika no kupalikila muli umwe mukwa-kulumbununa.
24 Chocho, Yosefwe yasosoloka mukachi ko, yaputuka kulila. Muze hahiluka, yahanjika no cheka, mba yasakula Simeone, yamukasa kumeso jo.
25 Yosefwe yahana shimbi hanga azalise tuku jo ni kulia, ni kufunyisa mbongo ja mutu ni mutu mu tuku yenyi, ni kwaha kulia chize te malia mu jila. Mba ayo yalinga ngwe chize aatumine.
26 Chocho yanda kulia cho, yachisa helu lia yimbulu, yaya kwo.
27 Muze umwe wa kuli ayo akasulwile tuku yenyi hanga ahane kulia kuli chimbulu chenyi ha chihela chize te mapombela, yawana mbongo jenyi mu tuku.
28 Chocho iye yamba kuli mandumbu jenyi ngwenyi: “Mbongo jami kanguhilwishilajo, mu tuku yami jili!” Kashika, o yevwa woma unji, yaputuka kuchikima, mba yalitala umwe ni mukwo ni kulihula ngwo: “Kuchi Zambi atulinga chichize?”
29 Muze ahetele ku chifuchi cha Kanana, yambulwila tato Yakomba yuma yeswe yize yalingiwile kuli ayo ngwo:
30 “Lunga yoze wakusongwela chifuchi, kahanjikanga ni yetu ni ufwatulo, ni kutulamikiza ngwenyi, tweza ni kwendesa chifuchi.
31 Alioze yetu yitumulweza ngwetu: ‘Hi tuli ngendeshi ko, twakuhanjika umwenemwene.
32 Twasemukine malunga 12, tuli ana a mutu umuwika. Mwana-kwetu wa kanuke kasala ni tata mu chifuchi cha Kanana, alioze hakutwala kuli mukwo, katwamineko nawa.’
33 Alioze, lunga yoze wakusongwela chifuchi yamba kuli yetu ngwenyi: ‘Mungunyingika ngwami nwakuhanjika umwenemwene nyi munulinga chino: Nguhichikilenu umwe wa kuli mandumbu jenu, mba nwande kulia nutwalile asoko jenu achine kufwa ni zala.
34 Nukangunehene kasula-songo wenu hanga ngupwe ni shindakenyo ngwami, hi nuli ngendeshi ko, alioze nwakuhanjika umwenemwene. Mba mungunuhilwishila ndumbwenu, chikwo nawa, munuhasa kulinga mingoso mu chifuchi chino.’”
35 Muze te anachiza kulia mu tuku, mutu ni mutu yawana mbongo mu tuku yenyi. Muze ayo ni tato ajimwene, yevwa woma unji.
36 Tato Yakomba yamba ngwenyi: “Hinwangukuwisa ana jami! Yosefwe katwamineko nawa, Simeone neye keshiko, haliapwila nunafupu kuya nawa ni Mbenjamine! Lamba lino lieswe linangushate yami!”
37 Alioze, Rupene yamba kuli tato ngwenyi: “Nyi chahilukile nenyi, shiha kwe ana jami aali a malunga. Ngweheye nguye nenyi, mba yami, mungukakuhilwishilaye.”
38 Alioze Yakomba yamba ngwenyi: “Chichi kunwaha mwanami hanga nuye nenyi, mumu yayo hanafu, iye wika nasala nenyi. Yami hinapwa kashinakaji, nyi chimwe chuma chipi muchimuwana mu wenyi, pundu lume munungulilisa* ndo muze makangutwala mu Fuka.”*
