23 Akupu Yosefe nkulungula bantu’shi: “Talayi, lelo uno nenuulu anue na nsenga yenu bua Faraone. Mbio biayidi’bi, abitungu nuiyikune mu mafuba.
24 Payituusha bidibua, nupe Faraone kimune kia ku bipindi bitano, anka bipindi binanka abikala bienu bu mbio bua mafuba eenu, na bu bidibua buenu na bua baba be mu mashibo eenu, na bua bana benu.”
