3 Ponkapo Yosefwa waambijile balongo banji amba: “Yami Yosefwa. Nanchi batata bakiji bomi nyi?” Bino balongo banji bakankelwe kumukumbula, mambo bakankamenetu na kumutala.
4 Onkao mambo, Yosefwa waambijile balongo banji amba: “Napopwela fwenyai kwipi ne amiwa.” Ne abo bafwenyenye kwipi ne aye.
Kepo ebambijile’mba: “Amiwa yami Yosefwa mulongo wenu ye mwapoteshe mu kyalo kya Ijipita.+
5 Pano kange mumvwe kutama ku muchima ne, kabiji kange mwinene anwe bene na bene na mambo a kuba mwampoteshe kuno ne; mambo Lesa wantumine kulutwe yenu na mambo a kupulusha bumi.+
6 Uno ye mwaka wa bubiji wa kipowe kya nzala mu kyalo,+ kabiji kwashala myaka itanu mo bakabula kujima nangwa kunowa.
7 Bino Lesa wantumine kulutwe yenu kuba’mba nkemulamine bakashalapo+ pano pa ntanda* ne kwimulama bomi kupichila mu kwimupokolola.

9 “Bwelai bukiji kwi batata kabiji mwafwainwa kwibambila’mba, ‘Bino byo byaamba mwanenu Yosefwa amba: “Lesa wantongola kwikala kalama wa kyalo kyonse kya Ijipita.+ Iyai kuno. Kange mubande ne.+
10 Mukekalanga mu mpunzha ya Goshenyi+ kwipi ne amiwa, anweba, baana benu, bankana benu, mikooko yenu, bañombe benu ne bintu byonse byo muji nabyo.
11 Nkemupanga kajo konkakwa, mambo kwakishala myaka itanu ya kipowe kya nzala.+ Mambo inge ne, mukayanda anweba ne ba mu nzubo yenu ne bintu byonse byo muji nabyo.”’
12 Anweba ne nkasami Benjamina mwimwena na meso enu amba kine yami iye mbena kwamba kwi anweba.+
13 Onkao mambo, mwafwainwa kwibabuula batata lukumo lwami lonse lwa mu Ijipita ne bintu byonse byo mwamona. Pano pelawizhai mukalete batata kuno.”
14 Kepo akumbachilemo* Benjamina nkasanji ne kujila, kabiji Benjamina wajijilenga saka amukumbachila munshingo.+
15 Kabiji wafyompele balongo banji bonse ne kujila, kabiji balongo banji batendekele kwisamba nanji.
16 Nkuwa yafikile ku nzubo ya kwa Felo amba: “Balongo ba kwa Yosefwa baiya!” Kino kyamusangajikile bingi Felo ne bakalume banji.
17 Onkao mambo, Felo waambijile Yosefwa amba: “Ambila balongo bobe amba, ‘Ubai kino: Twikai bipe pa banyama benu ne kuya ku kyalo kya Kenana,
18 mukalete bashenu ne bonse ba mu nzubo yenu kwi amiwa. Ne amiwa nkebapa bintu byawama bya mu kyalo kya Ijipita, kabiji mukajanga bikafumanga mu mpunzha iji na mushiji wafuka bulongo.+
19 Kabiji nakukambizha kwibabuula’mba:+ “Ubai kino: Sendai bikochikala+ bya mu kyalo kya Ijipita kuba’mba mukasendelemo baana benu ne bakazhi benu kabiji mukalete bashenu kuno mu kikochikala kimo.+
20 Kange mwakamwe pa mambo a bintu byenu ne,+ mambo bintu byonse byawamisha bya mu kyalo kya Ijipita byo byenu.”’”
21 Kabiji baana ba kwa Isalela baubile byonkabyo, ne Yosefwa wibapele bikochikala monka mwamukambizhizhe Felo kabiji wibapele ne mpao ya kuja mu jishinda.
22 Bonse pa muntu pa muntu wibapele kivwalo kimo kimo, bino Benjamina wamupele mali a siliva 300 ne bivwalo bitanu.+
23 Kabiji watumijile bashanji bino bintu: bambongolo jikumi basendele bintu byawama bya mu Ijipita ne bambongolo bakazhi jikumi basendele kajo, bashinkwa ne mpao ya kuja bashanji mu jishinda.
24 Byonkabyo, waambijile balongo banji kuya, ne abo baimene ke baye. Bino wibambijile’mba: “Kange mwitoboshenga mu jishinda ne.”+
25 Kepo bafumine mu kyalo kya Ijipita, kabiji bafikile mu kyalo kya Kenana kwi shabo Yakoba.
26 Ne abo bamubuujile’mba: “Yosefwa ukiji mumi, kabiji ye kalama wa kyalo kyonse kya Ijipita!”+ Bino aye wakankamenetu, mambo kechi waswile byo bamubuujile ne.+
27 Byo bamubuujilenga byambo byonse bibambijile Yosefwa ne byo amwene bikochikala byamutumijile Yosefwa kuba’mba bakamusendelemo, muchima wa kwa Yakoba shabo wabwelelemo.
28 Kabiji Isalela waambile’mba: “Kyawama! mwanami Yosefwa ukiji mumi! Nafwainwa kuya na kumumona saka nkyangye kufwa!”+
