2 Iye yasakula mandumbu jenyi atano, yaasolola kuli Falau.
3 Falau yahula mandumbu ja Yosefwe ngwenyi: “Mulimo uka nwakulinga?” Ayo yamukumbulula ngwo: “Yetu tuvumbi twenu tuli akwa-kufunga mapanga ngwe chize apwile tulamba twetu.”
4 Ayo yamba nawa kuli Falau ngwo: “Tweza ni kutwama kuno ngwe yilambala mumu mu chifuchi cha Kanana muli zala yinji, kumushi kelo* ja kuhana kuli mapanga a tuvumbi twe. Lisesa tweche kama tutwame mu chifuchi cha Ngoshone.”
5 Mba Falau yamba kuli Yosefwe ngwenyi: “Tatenu ni mandumbu je keza kuno hanga atunge hamwe ni yena.
6 Chifuchi cha Engitu chili mu moko jenu. Lweza tatenu ni mandumbu je atwame mu chihela chipema cha mu chifuchi chino. Atunge mu chifuchi cha Ngoshone. Nyi unanyingika amwe atu akanyama hakachi ko, ase hanga afunge mapanga jami.”
7 Chocho, Yosefwe yatwala tato Yakomba kuli Falau, mba Yakomba yawahisa Falau.
8 Falau yahula Yakomba ngwenyi: “Miaka yingahi uli nayo?”
9 Yakomba yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Miaka ya kwendangana* chami yili 130. Yikehe, ya too ni lamba, kuyahianyine miaka ya kwendangana cha tulamba twami.”
10 Mba Yakomba yawahisa Falau, yakatuka kumeso jenyi.
11 Chocho, Yosefwe yaluliekela tato ni mandumbu jenyi chihela cha kutwama mu Engitu, yaaha mavu waze te apema chinji mu chifuchi chacho, ku Ramese, ngwe chize Falau ambile.
12 Yosefwe te kakuhana kulia* kuli tato, mandumbu jenyi ni akwa-zuwo lia tato eswe, kulita ni unji wa ana jo.
13 Zala yokele chinji mumu mu chifuchi cheswe te kumushi kulia.* Atu a mu chifuchi cha Engitu ni a mu chifuchi cha Kanana yahonga chinji mumu lia zala.
14 Yosefwe kapwile ni kukunga mbongo jeswe ja mu chifuchi cha Engitu ni chifuchi cha Kanana jize atu apwile ni kulanda najo kulia, ni kujitwala ku zuwo lia Falau.
15 Ha kupalika cha mashimbu, mbongo yijihwa mu chifuchi cha Engitu ni mu chifuchi cha Kanana, mba A-Engitu yaputuka kuya kuli Yosefwe ni kwamba ngwo: “Twehe kulia! Shina mutwecha tufwe mumu ngwo mbongo jetu hijahwa?”
16 Yosefwe yamba ngwenyi: Nyi mbongo jenu hijahwa, hanenu yimuna, yami mungunwaha kulia.”
17 Chocho, ayo yaputuka kutwala ngombe, tuvwalu, mapanga, pembe ni yimbulu kuli Yosefwe, mba iye yaaha kulia. Ha mwaka wacho weswe iye yaaha kulia ha yimuna waze ayo anehene.
18 Muze mwaka wacho wahwile, yaputuka kuya kuli Yosefwe ha mwaka ukwo ni kwamba ngwo: “Mbongo jetu jeswe ni yimuna yetu yeswe twanwahayo. Kutushi nawa ni chuma chikwo chize mutuhana kuli yenu, shina wika mijimba yetu ni mavu jetu.
19 Shina munutwecha tufwe ni zala kumeso jenu hanga mavu jetu asale chizechene? Tulande hamuwika ni mavu jetu hanga utwehe kulia mba yetu mutupwa ndungo ja Falau. Twehenu kulia hanga tuchine kufwa, mavu jetu achine kusala chizechene.”
20 Chocho, Yosefwe yalanjila Falau mavu eswe A-Engitu. A-Engitu kalanjishile minda yo mumu zala te yoka naye, chocho mavu eswe yapwa a Falau.
21 Mba iye yatutulula atu mu mambonge, chize ku songo limwe lia chifuchi cha Engitu ndo ku songo likwo.
22 Kakalanjile wika mavu a asasendote, mumu kulia cha asasendote chapwile ni kukatuka kuli Falau. Kashika asasendote kakalanjishile mavu jo.
23 Chocho, Yosefwe yamba kuli atu ngwenyi: “Musono, ngunanulande hanga nupwe atu ja Falau, yenu ni mavu jenu. Wenu mbuto hanga nulime.
24 Muze mbuto mujima, nuhane kuli Falau chihanda chamuchitano, alioze chihanda chamuchiwana muchipwa ni chenu, hanga nulime nupwe ni kulia cha yenu, cha ana jenu ni cha waze eswe ali ku zuwo lienu.”
25 Mba ayo yamba ngwo: “Mwene wafunga mwono wetu. Tuvwile kama keke mwene wetu, mutupwa ndungo ja Falau.”
26 Yosefwe yasa shimbi yino mu chifuchi cheswe cha Engitu yize yakukalakala ndo musono ngwenyi: Chihanda chamuchitano chili chambala cha Falau. Mavu ja asasendote wika e kakapwile a Falau.
27 Izalele ni usoko wenyi yanunga ni kutwama mu chifuchi cha Engitu, mu mavu ja Ngoshone, ayo yatwamamo, yasema ana, yoka chinji.
28 Yakomba yatwama mu chifuchi cha Engitu miaka 17. Miaka yeswe ya mwono wa Yakomba yapwile 147.
29 Muze Izalele te himafwa, yasanyika mwanenyi Yosefwe yamba ngwenyi: “Lisesa, nyi napwa ni utayizo we, sako kwoko kushi lia kulu liami, ungusolwele utu wa zango ni ushishiko. Lisesa, kanda ungufunjila mu chifuchi cha Engitu.
30 Muze mungufwa, unguchize mu chifuchi cha Engitu, ukangufunjile mu fuka lia tulamba twami.” Chocho, Yosefwe yamba ngwenyi: “Mungulinga yize wangwita.”
31 Izalele yamba kuli Yosefwe ngwenyi: “Lishinge.” Chocho, iye yalishinga. Mba Izalele yafulamana ku mutwe wa muhela wenyi.
