50 Yosefwe yalimbila hali tato, yamukangayika ni kulila mba yamwaha mbeju.
2 Kulutwe lia chino, Yosefwe yatuma ngamba jenyi ni mandotolo hanga akwite mujimba wa tato yitumbo uchine kupola. Chocho mandotolo yakwita yitumbo ha mujimba wa Izalele.
3 Mulimo wacho walingile matangwa 40, mumu wano e mashimbu akufupiwa hakukwita yitumbo ha mujimba wa mufu. Mba A-Engitu yanunga ni kulila Yakomba matangwa 70.
4 Muze matangwa a kumulila hahwa, Yosefwe yamba kuli akwa-zuwo lia Falau ngwenyi: “Nyi napwa ni utayizo kumeso jenu, twalenu kama lusango yono kuli Falau ngwenu:
5 ‘Tata kangushingishile muze ambile ngwenyi: “Tala, yami kumungufwa. Watamba kungufunda mu fuka liami lize nafulile mu chifuchi cha Kanana.” Lisesa, ngwechenu kama nguye ni kufunda tata mba munguhiluka.’”
6 Falau yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Yako ufunde tatenu ngwe chize akushingishile.”
7 Chocho Yosefwe yaya ni kufunda tato. Ngamba eswe a Falau yaya hamwe nenyi, hamwe ni makulwana a ku zuwo lia Falau ni makulwana a mu chifuchi cha Engitu,
8 ni akwa-zuwo lia Yosefwe eswe, mandumbu jenyi ni akwa-zuwo lia tato. Yahichika wika ana jo, mapanga, pembe ni ngombe mu chifuchi cha Ngoshone.
9 Matemba ni akwa-kwendesa tuvwalu yaya hamwe nenyi, chizavu chapwile chinene chinji.
10 O yaheta ku chizungwilo cha Atate chize chatwama hakamwihi ni chifuchi cha Yordau, kwenako alilile mbimbi ni kulinyenga chinji, chocho Yosefwe yalila tato matangwa shimbiali.
11 Muze atu a mu chifuchi chize, A-Kanana, amwene chize ayo te analinyenge ku chizungwilo cha Atate, yalishimwoka ngwo: “Kota chili chimwe chikuma chilemu chinji chize A-Engitu analilila chize!” Kashika chihela chacho achivulukile ngwo, Abele-Mizerame,* chatwama mu chifuchi cha Yordau.
12 Chocho, ana jenyi yalinga kuli iye kulita ni chize aashikile.
13 Ana jenyi a malunga yamutwala ku chifuchi cha Kanana, yamufunda mu chivwenge cha mu munda wa Makapela, munda watwama hakamwihi ni Mamare, uze Apalahama alanjile kuli Efrone Ka-Hete, hanga ukapwe chifuka cha chihinga.
14 Muze te hafunda tato, Yosefwe yahiluka ku Engitu hamwe ni mandumbu jenyi ni atu eswe waze ayile hamwe nenyi ni kufunda tato.
15 Muze mandumbu ja Yosefwe amwene ngwo tato hafwa, yamba ngwo: “Hanji Yosefwe kanatutulikila toto, mba matufwetesa upi weswe uze twamulingile.”
16 Kashika yatuma kulweza Yosefwe ngwo: “Tatenu shimbu te kanda achifwa kambile ngwenyi:
17 ‘Mwanami chuma chize mandumbu je akulingile chapwile chipi chinji. Alioze lisesa, ngunaliumbu, akonekene kama ha yuma yeswe yize ayo akulingile.’” Kashika lisesa, utukonekene kama yetu tuvumbi twa Zambi ya tatenu.” Mba Yosefwe yalila muze ahanjikile nenyi.
18 Kusulaho, mandumbu jenyi no yeza yafulamana kumeso jenyi ni kwamba ngwo: “Yetu uno, tupwe ndungo je!”
19 Yosefwe yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Kanda nwivwa woma. Shina yami nguli Zambi?
20 Chipwe ngwe nwazangile kungulinga upi, alioze Zambi yalumuna upi wacho upwe upeme hanga atu anji apwe ni mwono, chino che chinalingiwa musono.
21 Haliapwila, kanda nwivwa woma. Mungununga ni kunwaha kulia yenu ni ana jenu.” Chocho yaalembejeka, mba ni maliji wano, yaahwimisa mbunge.
22 Yosefwe yanunga ni kutwama mu Engitu, iye ni akwa-zuwo lia tato. Yosefwe yatwama miaka 110.
23 Yosefwe yamona chisemuko chamuchitatu cha ana ja Eframe ni ana ja Makire, mwana wa Manase. Yosefwe yaamona ngwe ana* jenyi lume.
24 Yosefwe yamba kuli mandumbu jenyi ngwenyi: “Kwasala hakehe ngufwe, alioze, pundu lume, Zambi makanwiwuluka ni kunuchiza mu chifuchi chino hanga akanutwale mu chifuchi chize alishingile kuhana kuli Apalahama, Izake ni Yakomba.”
25 Kashika, Yosefwe yashingisa ana ja Izalele ha kwamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Kwamba pundu, Zambi makanwiwuluka. Ngulakenyenu ngwenu munukachiza yifwaha yami muno ni kuya nayo.”
26 Mba Yosefwe yafwa muze te ali ni miaka 110. Chocho yamusa yitumbo, mba yamusa mu kashau,* mu Engitu.
