43 Mu chifuchi mwapwile zala yinji.
2 Mba muze kulia chize anehene ku Engitu chahwile, tato yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Hilukenu nawa nukalande kulia.”
3 Yunda yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Lunga wacho kanakatulweza pundu ngwenyi: ‘Kanda nuhiluka kuli yami* nyi kunwejile ni mwana-kwenu.’
4 Nyi nwatayiza mwana-kwetu aye hamuwika ni yetu, mutuya ni kunulanjila kulia.
5 Alioze nyi kunwatayijile hanga aye ni yetu, ni yetu kutuchi kuya, mumu lunga wacho kambile kuli yetu ngwenyi: ‘Kanda nuhiluka kuli yami* nyi kunwejile ni mwana-kwenu.’”
6 Mba Izalele yahula ngwenyi: “Mumu liaka nwangunehena lamba lipwahaha, hakulweza mwe lunga ngwenu nuli ni mwana-kwenu mukwo?”
7 Ayo yamukumbulula ngwo: “Mwe lunga kahulile hakutwala kuli yetu ni kuli asoko jetu ngwenyi: ‘Tatenu uchili ni mwono? Nukwete nawa ndumbwenu mukwo?’ Kashika yitumulweza umwenemwene. Kuchi te mutunyingika ngwetu iye mamba ngwenyi: ‘Nukaneha mwana-kwenu’?”
8 Hohene, Yunda yaliumba chinji kuli tato Izalele ngwenyi: “Ngwehenu kanuke nguye nenyi, hanga yetu, yenu ni ana jetu tuchine kufwa ni zala.
9 Mungumufunga kanawa, mulonga ungukwate yami nyi chimwe chuma chipi chalingiwa kuli iye. Nyi chahilukile nenyi kuli yenu mungupwa ni mulonga kuli yenu ku mwono wami weswe.
10 Alioze, nyi te kutwalalukile, kachi hitwayako yisuho yaali ni kufuna.”
11 Kashika tato Izalele yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Nyi chocho lingenu chino: Andenu yuma yipema ya mu chifuchi chetu, senu mu tuku jenu nuyitwalile lunga wacho ngwe yawana. Mbatenu ndambu ya maji a lupembo mupema, ndambu ya uchi, ulimbo wa landanu, yula ya mutondo yize yili ni ulimbo, mihuko ya pistasiu ni mihuko ya amendoa.
12 Yeenu ni mbongo jinji kuhiana jize nwayile najo ni mbongo jize nwawanyine mu tuku jenu, hanji ayo kanakajivulama.
13 Hilukenu kuli mwe lunga wacho, yeenu ni mwana-kwenu.
14 Zambi Mukwa-Ndundo-Jeswe akwase hanga lunga wacho anuvwile kama keke hanga atusule ndumbwenu ni Mbenjamine. Hakutwala kuli yami, nyi mungusala chizechene chakuhona ana jami, kushi mulonga!”
15 Chocho ana ja Izalele yanda yawana ni mbongo kuhiana jize ayile najo chisuho chitangu, yaya hamuwika ni Mbenjamine mu Engitu, yaliwana cheka ni Yosefwe.
16 Muze Yosefwe amwene Mbenjamine hamwe no, hazehene yamba kuli mutu yoze te wakusongwela zuwo lienyi ngwenyi: “Twala atu wano ku zuwo, shiha tushitu, lulieka kulia, mumu mungulia hamwe no tangwa ha muchima.”
17 Hazehene, mutu wacho yalinga chizechene Yosefwe amulwezele, yaatwala ku zuwo lia Yosefwe.
18 Alioze ayo yevwa woma muze aatwalile ku zuwo lia Yosefwe, yaputuka kwamba ngwo: “Katuneha kuno mumu lia mbongo jize ahilwishile mu tuku jetu muze twejile. Chikwo nawa, matutambula tumelu twetu!”
19 Chocho, yakundama kuli mukwa-kufunga zuwo lia Yosefwe, yahanjika nenyi ku chikolo.
20 Yamba ngwo: “Lisesa mwene wetu, ha chisuho chitangu, twejile kuno hanga tulande kulia.
21 Alioze muze twahetele haze te mutupombela, yituputuka kukasulula tuku jetu, chocho, mutu ni mutu yawana mbongo jenyi jeswe mu tuku. Kashika yetu ene tunazange kujifunyisa.
22 Twaneha nawa mbongo hanga tulande kulia. Kutwanyingikine yoze wasele mbongo jetu mu tuku jetu.”
23 Iye yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Hwimenu mbunge, kanda nwivwa woma. Zambi yenu kanda Zambi ya tatenu kanusela upite mu tuku jenu. Yami natambwile mbongo jenu.” Mba yaanehena Simeone.
24 Chocho lunga wacho yaanjisa mu zuwo lia Yosefwe, yaaha meya hanga asane ku molu, yahana nawa kulia kuli yimbulu jo.
25 Muze te anashimbwila Yosefwe, ayo yalulieka chawana hanga amwehe, mumu kevwile ngwo meza ni kulia hamwe no tangwa ha muchima.
26 Muze Yosefwe anjilile mu zuwo, yamwaha chawana, mba ayo yafulamana hashi kumeso jenyi.
27 Mba iye yaahula ngwenyi: “Kuchi nuli? Mba tatenu kashinakaji yoze nwangulwezele kuchi ali? Shina uchili ni mwono?”
28 O yamukumbulula ngwo: “Kavumbi kenu kali kanawa. Ewa, uchili ni mwono.” Chocho yafulamana hashi kumeso jenyi.
29 Muze ahetwile meso, yamona Mbenjamine, mwana-kwo yoze asemukine nenyi jimo limuwika, yamba ngwenyi: “Au mwe mwana-kwenu yoze nwangulwezele?” Yamba nawa ngwenyi: “Mwanami, Zambi akukwase.”
30 Muze Yosefwe amwene ngwenyi mbunge muchima kuyisolo kukwata mumu lia mwana-kwo, yatuhuka haze ni kawashi, yafupa kuze maya ni kulilila.
31 Muze hahwisa kulila, yasana ku meso, yatuhuka, mumu te hakolesa mbunge, yamba ngwenyi: “Twehenu kulia.”
32 Yosefwe yamusela kulia ku mesa kwa-ukawenyi, mandumbu jenyi ku mesa kwa-ukawo ni A-Engitu yalila ku mesa kwa-ukawo, mumu A-Engitu te katambile kulila hamuwika ni A-Hepreu. Chino chapwile chuma chipi chinji kuli A-Engitu.
33 Mandumbu ja Yosefwe yatwama kumeso jenyi, yalikaula chize kuli mukulwana ndo kuli kasula-songo, te kanalitale umwe ni mukwo ni kukomoka.
34 Yosefwe yachiza kulia ku mesa yenyi yachituma ku mesa ya mandumbu jenyi, yahana kulia chinji* kuli Mbenjamine kuhiana akwo. Chocho yalia, yanwa, yakuta.
