43 Nsala ibaadi bukopo bukile muiumbo.
2 Biabia pababapuile kudia ntete ibaabadi bafikie nayo mu Ejipitu, nshabo bebalunguile’shi: “Alukiilayi nuketuudile ndambo ya bidibua.”
3 Akupu Yunda nkumulungula’shi: “Yawa muntu ekeele muitudimushe patooka’shi, ‘Tanumono dingi mpala yande su tanui na mukuenu.’
4 Su buetutumu na mukuetu, atuende tukakuudile bidibua.
5 Anka su tue mumutume, t’atuende, muanda yawa muntu etulunguile’shi, ‘Tanumono dingi mpala yande su tanui na mukuenu.’”
6 Isalele nkuipusha’shi: “Buakinyi nubantuadila luno lukalakashi p’anue kulungula yawa muntu’shi nui na ungi mukuenu?”
7 Abo nkualula’shi: “Yawa muntu ekeele muituipushe pabitutale na pabitale bifuko bietu, amba’shi, ‘Nshenu ki na muwa su? Nui na ungi mukuenu mulume? Na atue nkumulungula ino mianda. Mbikunyi bibatudia kuuka’shi etulungula’shi: ‘Fikayi na mukuenu’?”
8 Yunda nkushishikila Isalele nshaye’shi: “Ntadiile nende na nsongualume, etulekie tuende bua’shi tushale na muwa na tatufuanga, atue, nobe, na bana betu.
9 Nakitshi bia’shi masaku taamufuilanga. Onyokie’mi su muanda ubamufikila. Su nakutua kualuka naye kodi na kukulubuila anka, paapa nakukitshina muluisho bua loso.
10 Kadi su tatubadia kunyengakana, tubaadia kuikala bapue kuenda na kualukiila misusa ibidi.”
11 Biabia Isalele nshabo nkuibalungula’shi: “Su abitungu’shi bikale biabia, kitayi bino: Atayi bintu bi buwa ngofu bia muiumbo mu mifuko* yenu na nukebipe yawa muntu bu kia buntu: ndambo ya bome, ndambo ya buuki, maka e na eshiko dibuwa, bibobua bi na maka, tumuma tua pistashe na tumuma tua amande.
12 Nuate bungi bua makuta anubayile nao mususa wa kumpala misusa ibidi; dingi nuate makuta abaadi alukiile mu mifuko yenu. Pangi babaadi balube.
13 Atayi mukuenu nuende, nualukiile kui yawa muntu.
14 Efile Mukulu Sha bukome boso akite bia’shi yawa muntu enupushishe lusa bua’shi aposole yawa ungi mukuenu na Benyamine. Anka ami su abitungu’shi nkutue bana, nebakutua!”
15 Biabia bana ba Isalele nkuata kiakia kia buntu na nkuata bungi bua makuta ababayile nao mususa wa kumpala misusa ibidi mu maasa aabo na Benyamine. Akupu abo nkuibua na nkuenda ku Ejipitu na abo nkuimana dingi kumpala kua Yosefe.
16 Pabaadi Yosefe muibamone na Benyamine, balunguile mususa umune muntu baadi atala mifubo ya mu nshibo muaye’shi: “Tuala bano bantu ku nshibo, oyipee nyema na oteekie bidibua, muanda bano bantu abadi nami mu midi.”
17 Mususa umune yawa muntu bakitshine nka bibaadi Yosefe muakule, na aye nkuibatuala ku nshibo ya Yosefe.
18 Anka bakuabo babapushishe moo pabaabadi abebatuala ku nshibo ya Yosefe, na bababangile kuakula’shi: “Abetutuala kuakua pa muanda wa makuta abaadi alukiile mu mifuko yetu mususa ushale. Binobino abetukuata, betuikashe bu ba mpika, na betuate mpunda yetu!”
19 Biabia abo nkuifubuila kui yawa muntu baadi atala mifubo ya mu nshibo mua Yosefe na nkuisamba naye pa kituelelo kia nshibo.
20 Abo nkuakula’shi: “Etufuile namu lusa nfumuami! Tufikile musango wa kumpala mu kuula bidibua.
21 Anka pa tubafikile pa mbalo ya kulala na tuabanga kufungula mifuko yetu, tubapetele makuta a oso a kuatudi mu mufuko waye, makuta eetu oso alombane. Biabia atukumiina kuialusha.
22 Na tubatuala angi makuta bua kuula bidibua. T’atuuku baadi muele makuta eetu mu mifuko yetu.”
23 Aye nkuibalungula’shi: “Bi buwa. Tanutshinanga. Efile Mukulu eenu na Efile Mukulu a nshenu nyi muele makuta mu mifuko yenu. Makuta eenu abaadi abande kufika kuandi.” Kunyima kua biabia aye nkufika na Simeone kuabadi.
24 Akupu yawa muntu nkuibatuala mu nshibo ya Yosefe na nkuibapa mema buabadia kuitumpa ku ngua, na nkutuala bidibua bua mpunda yabo.
25 Abo nkulumbula kia buntu kumpala kua’shi Yosefe afikie mu midi, muanda babaadi bapushe’shi abadi kuakua.
26 Pabaadi Yosefe mutuele mu nshibo, babaadi bamupe kia buntu kiabo na bamuinamina, bakupila mapala paashi.
27 Kunyima kua bino, aye nkuibepusha su abaadi biya na nkuakula’shi: “Nshenu mununu abanudi bandungule e naminyi? Ki na muwa su?”
28 Abo nkuakula’shi: “Mufubi oobe nshetu e biya. Ki na muwa.” Akupu abo nkuinama na nkukupila mapala paashi.
29 Pababushishe meso na amona Benyamine mukuabo, muana a nyinaye, bakuile’shi: “Uno nyi mukuenu mukinga ku boso anubaadi bandungule su?” Aye nkuakula dingi’shi: “Muan’ande, Efile Mukulu akuelele miabi.”
30 Akupu Yosefe nkutuuka bukidibukidi, muanda tabaadi mobeshe kunying’eshimba bua mukuabo, na aye nkukimba mbalo ya kudidila. Biabia aye nkuenda mu kadimbo kaye ka bupenka na nkudila muamua.
31 Kunyima kua biabia, aye nkuitumpa mema mu mpala na nkutuuka aye bapu kunying’eshimba na nkuakula’shi: “Tuushayi bidibua.”
32 Abo nkumupa bidibua pa bupenka, bakuabo pabuabo, na bena Ejipitu babaadi naye nkudia pabuabo, muanda bena Ejipitu ta mbalombene kudia pamune na bena Ebelu, muanda nyi nkintu kibubi kui bena Ejipitu.
33 Bakuabo babaadi bashale kumpala kuaye, muana mbedi muyile matalua aaye a bu muana mbedi, na mukinga ku boso muyile bukinga buaye, na babaadi nka abetalena abakaanya.
34 Baadi nka atumu bidibua abikatuka ku mesa aaye abiende ku aabo, anka baadi mufuimishe bidibua bia Benyamine misusa itano kukila bia bangi bakuabo. Biabia babatungunukile na kudia na kutoma naye mpa na pabaabadi bekute.
