Yosefa wādi mwana nkasampe wa Yakoba. Batutu wandi bāmwene amba, shabo usenswe Yosefa. Le ulanga bēivwene namani? Bāivwanine Yosefa mukao, bāmushikwa. Yosefa paālotele bilotwa bitulumuja, wālombwele’byo banababo. Bālanga’mba bino bilotwa bishintulula’mba difuku dimo, bakevukwilanga kudi Yosefa. Po pene bāmushikwa bininge!

Difuku dimo, banababo na Yosefa bādi balama mikōko kubwipi na kibundi kya Shekema. Yakoba wātuma Yosefa akatale mobekadile. Bāmwena Yosefa dya kulampe, kebanena abo bene na bene amba: ‘Mulotyi wa bilotwa yewa wiya. Tumwipayei!’ Bāmukwata bāmwela mu kīna kilampe. Inoko, Yuda mwanabo umo wānena’mba: ‘Kemwakimwipayai! Tumupotejei bu umpika.’ Ebiya bāpoteja Yosefa ku bibese 20 bya ndalama kudi bansunga bene Midyana bādi benda ku Edipito.

Kupwa, banababo na Yosefa bātubika kotyi wandi mu mashi a mbuji, bātumina shabo uno kotyi, kebanena’mba: ‘Le uno kotyi i wa obe mwana?’ Ponka’po Yakoba wāmona’mba nyema wa ntanda waipaya Yosefa. Yakoba wātyumukilwe mutyima. I kutupu muntu wābwenye kumusenga.

Mu Edipito, bāpoteje Yosefa bu umpika kudi mwingidi mulēme witwa bu Potifela. Inoko, Yehova wādi na Yosefa. Potifela wāmona’mba Yosefa wingilanga mwingilo wandi senene kadi i muntu ukulupilwa. Kepejije, bāpa Yosefa mwingilo wa kutala bintu byonso bya Potifela.

 Mukaja Potifela wāmona’mba Yosefa wanengela ne kupuma. Wādi unena Yosefa difuku ne difuku alāle nandi. Le Yosefa wālongele’po namani? Wāpelele, wanena’mba: ‘Aa! Byabyo i bibi. Mfumwami unkulupile, kadi abe wi wandi mukaji. Shi ndāle nobe, nsa kupya mambo kudi Leza!’

Difuku dimo, mukaja Potifela wātompa kuningila Yosefa alāle nandi. Wāmukwata mu bisandi, ino Yosefa wāmunyema. Potifela pa kujokela ku njibo, wandi mukaji wāmusapwila’mba Yosefa wamutwelelanga. Uno mwana-mukaji wābepele bubela. Potifela wāloba bininge, wāela Yosefa mu kifungo. Inoko, Yehova kāidilwepo Yosefa.
