17 Dibakala beni wumvutudila: “Minu yibe bakuwa kutuba, ‘Tuendi’anu ku Dotan.’” Mu phila ayoyo, Yozefi wuyenda ayi wuyebata zikhomba ziandi ku Dotan.
18 Bo zikhomba ziandi bammona ku kinanu ava nandi kufikama vo baba, bawu babaka makani ma kumvonda.

20 Buabu thangu yima fuana, ndoko tumvondanu ayi tundodula mu ditanga di nlangu, bosi tunkuiza kamba papa ti kibulu ki nganzi kibe mvonda. Ayi tunkuiza mona buidi zindosi ziandi zinkuiza sundukila.”
21 Bo Rubem kayuwa makani ma zikhomba ziandi, nandi wumeka kumvukisa, mu kutuba: “Disi ko diambu dimboti kumvonda.”
22 Rubem wubue bakamba: “Bikanu kumvonda, vayi nkubanu mu ditanga di nlangu ayi bikanu kumvanga phasi.” Katubila mawu, kibila waba tomba kumvukisa ayi kunnata kuidi tat’awu.
23 Bo Yozefi kavitila vaba zikhomba ziandi, bawu bambuila ayi bamvula kiyunga kiandi kilutidi kitoko kaba vuatanga.
24 Bosi bantibula mu ditanga di nlangu. Vayi mu thangu beni, ditanga disa ba ko nlangu.
25 Bosi bawu bakala muingi kudia. Bo bavumuna thalu, bamona nkangu wu batu wu basi Ismaeli bafumina ku Gileadi. Zikamela ziawu ziaba nata nomi yi ládano, bálsamo ayi lula lu minti. Bawu baba kuenda ku Ngipiti.
26 Bosi Yuda wukamba zikhomba ziandi: “Ndandu mbi tunkuiza baka befu kuvonda khomb’itu?
27 Tubikanu kumvanga bubi, kibila nandi widi khomb’itu. Vayi ndoko’anu tunsumbisa kuidi basi Ismaeli.” Mu phila ayoyo, bawu bayuwa mambu Yuda katuba.

29 Bo Rubem kayenda va ditanga batula Yozefi, ayi bo kakhambu kummona muna, nandi wukakuna bikhutu biandi.
30 Ayi bo Rubem kavutuka vaba zikhomba ziandi, nandi wutuba: “Yosefi kasiedi ko mu ditanga, buabu, mambu mbi yemvanga?”
31 Bosi bawu bavonda khombo yi mbakala ayi badukula menga mandi mu kikhutu ki Yozefi.
32 Bosi bawu bafila kikhutu beni kuidi tat’awu ayi bamfila thumu ayiyi: “Tube nonga kikhutu akiki, buabu lemvuka fiongunina kiawu boti kidi kikhutu ki Yosefi voti ndamba.”
33 Bo Yakobi kafiongunina kiawu, nandi wutuba: “Akiki kidi kiyunga ki muan’ama, ḿba kibulu ki nganzi ki bendia. Bukiedika, Yosefi ba bendia.”
34 Bosi Yakobi wukakuna bikhutu biandi ayi wuvuata zitsaku, bosi wuba mu lutu mu bilumbu biwombo mu kibila ki lufua lu muan’andi.
35 Bana bandi boso baba kumbombanga, vayi nandi kabasa kikininanga ko muingi bambomba, ayi wutuba: “Yala tatamana kudila muan’ama nati yala kuenda ku biziami.” Nandi wutatamana kudila mu kibila ki lufua lu muan’andi.
