48 Kunyima kua ino mianda, abalunguile Yosefe’shi: “Tala, nshobe kuete kubofula.” Biabia aye nkuata bana baye balume babidi Manasee na Efraime, na nkuenda kui Yakobo.
2 Akupu, abo nkulungula Yakobo’shi: “Muan’obe Yosefe bafiki kodi.” Biabia Isalele nkuinyingisha na nkushala pa lusala luaye.
3 Yakobo nkulungula Yosefe’shi:
“Efile Mukulu Sha bukome boso baadi mummuenekiele ku Luze mu nsenga ya Kanaana na angielela miabi.
4 Na aye nkundungula’shi: ‘Nakakitshi bia’shi otande bana, na nakakufuimisha, na nakakuikasha kakongie ka bantu, na nakapa lutandua* lobe ino nsenga bu yalo bua loso.’
5 Binobino bana bobe balume babidi bodi mutande muiumbo dia Ejipitu kumpala kua’shi nfikie mu Ejipitu mbande. Efraime na Manasee abekala bande nka bu bi Rubene na Simeone, mbande.
6 Anka bana babakakutandila kunyima kuabo, abakekala bobe. Abakayitanyinua muishina dia bakuabo mu bupianyi buabo.
7 Anka ami, panaadi nakatukila ku Padane, Rashele baadi mufue ku lupese luande mu nsenga ya Kanaana, pakubaadi kuki kipindi kila kumpala kua kufika ku Efrata. Biabia ami nkumushiika kuakua muishinda dia ku Efrata, kuamba’shi Beteleme.”
8 Akupu Isalele bamuene bana ba Yosefe na ayipusha’shi: “Bano mbananyi?”
9 Biabia Yosefe nkulungula nshaye’shi: “Mbana bande balume bampe Efile Mukulu mu ino mbalo.” Nyi aye nkuakula’shi: “Ebantuadile, bua’shi nebelele miabi.”
10 Meso a Isalele abaadi apue kubofula pa muanda wa kukula, na tabaadi na mushindo wa kumona. Biabia Yosefe nkuifubuila nabo kuadi, na aye nkuibafifia na nkuibanya biipa.
11 Isalele nkulungula Yosefe’shi: “Tampuandikishanga’shi ne kumona mpala yobe, anka Efile Mukulu bakumiina dingi bua’shi mone mpa na lutandua* lobe.”
12 Yosefe nkuibakatusha ku makunungu a Isalele na aye nkuinama, mukupile mpala paashi.
13 Yosefe nkuibaata boso babidi, Efraime ku mboko yaye ibalume, bua’shi ekale ku mboko ibakashi ya Isalele, na Manasee ku mboko yaye ibakashi bua’shi ekale ku mboko ibalume ya Isalele, na nkuifubuila nabo kuadi.
14 Anka Isalele nkoola eyasa diaye dibalume, nkuidituula ku mutue wa Efraime, sunga bibaadi mukinga, na nkutuula eyasa diaye dibakashi ku mutue wa Manasee. Baadi auku’shi batuulu maasa aaye mu wawa mushindo, muanda Manasee baadi muana mbedi.
15 Akupu aye nkuelela Yosefe miabi na nkuakula’shi:
“Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi baadi ba nshami Abalahama na Isaake batambukie kumpala kuaye,“Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi mmundame munda mua muwa wande oso mpa na lelo,
16 Muikeyilu baadi mumpaashe ku makienga ande oso, elele ba nsongualume miabi.
Eshina diande, na eshina dia ba nshami Abalahama na Isaake, ditaminyibue kukiila kuabadi,Bafuime na bekale bebungi pa nsenga.”
17 Pabamuene Yosefe’shi, nshaye batuulu eyasa diaye dibalume ku mutue wa Efraime, tabibaadi bimusankishe, biabia batompele kukuata eyasa dia nshaye bua kuidikatusha ku mutue wa Efraime, bua’shi edituule ku mutue wa Manasee.
18 Yosefe nkulungula nshaye’shi: “Yaya, ta mbiabia, muanda uno nyi muana mbedi. Tuula eyasa dibalume ku mutue waye.”
19 Anka nshaye baadi apele na akula’shi: “Muan’ande, nauku, nauku. Naye akekala miilo, akekala’nyi mukata. Sunga mbiabia muina aaye akekala mukata kumukila, na lutandua* luaye alukekala bungi bukumbane bua kukita miilo.”
20 Biabia batungunukile na kuibelela miabi mu diadia efuku amba’shi:
“Bena Isalele bakutemune pabeleshena miabi, bambanga’shi,‘Efile Mukulu akuikashe bu Efraime na bu Manasee.’”
Bibia baadi nka akisha Efraime kumpala kua Manasee.
21 Akupu Isalele nkulungula Yosefe’shi: “Tala, tanfu, anka Efile Mukulu atungunuka binyibinyi na kuikala nenu, na akenualusha mu nsenga ya ba mashenu.
22 Anka ami, nakupa kipindi kia nsenga kukila bakuenu, ki naadi muate ku maasa a bena Amore na lupete luande lua ngoshi na buta buande.”
