2 Aye nkuakula dingi’shi: “Napusha’shi mu Ejipitu mui ntete. Ndayi muanka na nuituudile ndambo ya ntete bua’shi tushale na muwa na tatufuanga.”
3 Biabia bakuabo na Yosefe ekumi nkuenda mu Ejipitu mu kuula ntete.
4 Anka Yakobo tabaadi mutume Benyamine mukuabo mulume na Yosefe na bangi bakuabo, muanda bakuile’shi: “Pangi masaku a lufu e kumufikila.”
5 Biabia bana ba Isalele nkufika mu Ejipitu pamune na bangi babaadi abafiki mu kuula ntete, muanda nsala ibaadi ipalakane mu nsenga ya Kanaana.
6 Yosefe nyi muntu baadi na matalua muiumbo na naye baadi audisha bantu boso ba pa nsenga ntete. Biabia bakuabo balume na Yosefe nkufika na nkumuinamina, mapala aabo akupile paashi.
7 Yosefe pabamuene bakuabo, bebatunduile mususa umune, anka baadi mukite bia’shi tabamutundulanga. Biabia besambile nabo n’eyi dibukopo na akula’shi: “Anufiki kunyi?” abo nkualula’shi: “Atufiki mu nsenga ya Kanaana, tubafiki pano mu kuula bidibua.”
8 Biabia Yosefe nkutundula bakuabo balume, anka abo tababaadi bamutundule.
9 Mususa umune, Yosefe nkutentekiesha bilotua bibaadi mulote pabibatale, na aye nkuibalungula’shi: “Nui ba mpuupa! Nubafiki mu kutala ma mbalo abofule a eumbo!”
10 Abo nkumulungula’shi: “Nya, nfumuami, bafubi bobe abafiki mu kuula bidibua.
11 Atue boso tui bana ba muntu umune. Tui bantu balulame. Bafubi bobe ta ba mpuupa.
12 Anka aye nkuibalungula’shi: Nya! Nubafiki mu kutala ma mbalo abofule a eumbo!”
13 Abo nkumulungula’shi: “Bafubi bobe be bana balume 12. Tui bana ba muntu umune mu nsenga ya Kanaana, na mukinga ku boso e na nshetu binobino, anka ungi taki kuanka.”
14 Anka Yosefe nkuibalungula’shi: “Bi’nka bu binakatuka mu kuinulungula, nui ba mpuupa!’
15 Ku bino nkuanutompibua: Na bi Faraone binyibinyi na muwa, t’anukatuka ino mbalo mpa na apafiki mukuenu mukinga pano.
16 Tumayi umune a kuanudi afikie na mukuenu, anue nushale mu lukano. Mu uno mushindo, mayi eenu aatompibua bua kumona su anuakula bia binyibinyi. Na su ta mbiabia, bu bi Faraone binyibinyi na muwa, nui ba mpuupa.”
17 Biabia aye nkuibeela boso mu lukano mafuku asatu.
18 Muifuku dia kasatu, Yosefe nkuibalungula’shi: “Kitayi bino bua’shi nushale na muwa, muanda natshinaa Efile Mukulu.
19 Su nui bantu balulame, umune a kuanudi ashale muanyibue mu nshibo ya lukano muanudi, anka bangi ba kuanudi mbalombene kuenda na batuala ntete ku bifuko bienu bua kupeelesha nsala.
20 Akupu, ntuadileyi mukuenu mukinga, biabia mayi eenu aakasanganyibua a binyibinyi, na t’anukafu.” Na abo nkukumiina bua kukita biabia.
21 Abo nkuilungushena’shi: “Tukuete binyibinyi kunyokiibua pa muanda wa mukuetu, muanda tubamuene dikienga* diaye pabaadi etusendeela bua kumulesha lusa, anka tatubaadi bamuteemeshe. Nyi buakinyi dino dikienga dibetufikila.”
22 Rubene nkuibaluula’shi: “Ntshi naadi muinulungule’shi, ‘tanukitshinanga muana bi bubi,’ anka tanubaadi bateemeshe? Binobino mase aaye akuete binyibinyi kutekibua.”
23 Anka tababaadi abauku’shi Yosefe kuete kupusha, muanda kubaadi muntu baadi aluula pankatshi paabo.
24 Biabia aye nkukatuka kuabadi, na nkubanga kudila. Pabalukile besambile nabo dingi, aye nkuata Simeone munkatshi muabo na nkumuanya mu meso aabo.
25 Akupu Yosefe nkutuma eyi bua kuusha mifuko* yabo na ntete, na bua kualusha makuta a muntu oso mu mufuko waye na bua kuibapa bidibua bia muishinda. Abo nkuibakitshina nka biabia.
26 Biabia abo nkutenteka ntete pa mpunda yabo na abo nkukatuka yaaya mbalo.
27 Pababafikile pa mbalo ya kulala, umune a kuabadi bafunguile mufuko waye bua kupa mpunda aaye bidibua, mususa umune aye nkumona makuta aaye mu mufuko waye.
28 Aye nkulungula bakuabo’shi: “Abalusha makuta ande, ngaa e mu mufuko wande!” Mashimba aabo nkuibakupila, abo nkuitalena na kususa na nkuakula’shi: “Kino nkinyi kibetukitshi Efile Mukulu?”
29 Pababafikile kui nshabo Yakobo mu nsenga ya Kanaana, babamulunguile mianda yoso ibaadi ibafikile, bakula’shi:
30 “Muntu e bu nfumu a eumbo, besamba netu n’eyi dibukopo, na betufundu’shi tui ba mpuupa b’eumbo.
31 Anka tubamulungula’shi: ‘Tui bantu balulame. Tatui ba mpuupa.
32 Tui bana balume 12, tui nshetu umune. Umune taki kuanka, na mukinga ku boso e na nshetu binobino mu nsenga ya Kanaana.’
33 Anka yawa muntu e bu nfumu a eumbo, betulungula’shi: ‘Ku bino nyi kuankauku’shi nui bantu balulame: Lekayi umune a kuanudi nami. Nuate bidibua bua kupeelesha nsala mu bifuko bienu na nuende.
34 Na nnuntuadile mukuenu mukinga, bua’shi nguukie’shi tanui ba mpuupa, anka nui bantu balulame. Akupu nakenualuisha mukuenu, na nuibalombene kukita busunga muiumbo.’”
35 Pabaabadi abatuusha bintu bibaadi mu mifuko yabo, kabuta ka makuta ka muntu oso kabaadi mu mufuko waye. Pabaabadi abo na nshabo bamone tubuta tuabo tua makuta, babapushishe moo.
36 Nshabo Yakobo nkuibalungula’shi: “Nnami anukutshishua bana! Yosefe taki kuanka, Simeone taki kuanka’nyi, na tanuata’nyi Benyamine! Ino mianda yoso ibanfuila nk’ami!”
37 Anka Rubene nkulungula nshaye’shi: “We mulombene kuipaa bana bande balume babidi su ntshi mualukiile naye kodi. Mumpe, namulama kalolo na nalukiila naye kodi.”
38 Anka aye nkuakula’shi: “Muan’ande t’ende nenu, muanda mukuabo tabafuile na aye mmushale bupenka. Su masaku a lufu amufikila muishinda muanuende, paapa anukayisha binyibinyi nfuidi yande mu Mashama* na kinyongua.”
