4 Diawu tuala vutuka to ku Ngipiti, ngie kukikinina tunata khomb’itu wutsuka.
5 Vayi ngie kukhambu kikinina muingi nandi kenda yitu, buna befu mvitu tuisinkuenda ko, kibila dibakala widi mu kutuadisa ku Ngipiti wu tukamba: ‘Benu lulendi vutuka ko akuku, benu kukhambu tuala khomb’inu wutsuka.’”
6 Bosi Isaeli wuba yuvula: “Kibila mbi luthuadisidi ziphasi aziozio, mu kunkamba ti luidi khomba yinkaka wutsuka?”
7 Bosi bawu bamvutudila: “Dibakala beni naveka wu tuyuvula matedi befu ayi matedi dikanda ditu, mu kutuba: ‘Tat’inu wukhidi wumonyo? Benu luidi khomba yinkaka?’ Diawu befu tumvanina mvutu mu mambu katuyuvula, mu khambu zaba ti nandi wunkuiza tukamba: ‘Tualanu khomb’inu akuku’.”
8 Bosi Yuda wutatamana kukamba tat’andi Isaeli: “Bika nandi kaba mu lukiebu luama ayi kenda yitu, muingi befu, ngie ayi bana bitu tubika fuila mu nzala.
9 Minu yikukanikisa ti yinkuiza nkieba buboti. Minu kukhambu kumvutula kuidi ngiewu, buna yinkuiza ba fotu mu luzingu luama loso.
10 Vayi boti wisi tutulanga ko nkaku, khanu befu tuyendizi ayi tuvutukizi khumbu wadi.”
11 Diawu tat’awu Isaeli kaba kambila: “Boti buawu bufueti bela, buna vanganu mambu amama: Kubikanu nkhailu mu biuma bioso bi luvalu bidi ku ntoto awuwu, muingi luevana dibakala beni. Natanu balsamu, wika,* nomi yi ladano, lula lu minti, zikhumunu zi pistache ayi zi amendoa.
12 Natanu bifunda biodi bi zimbongo, ayi natanu mvandi zimbongo baluvutudila mu zitsaku zinu, kibila ḿba kuzimbakana bazimbakana.
13 Natanu khomb’inu wutsuka ayi vutukanu kuidi dibakala beni.
14 Bika Nzambi Nkua Ngolo Zioso kasadisa dibakala beni kalumona kiadi, muingi kabikidila khomb’inu wusiala kuna ayi Benyamini bavutuka yinu. Boti minu yinkuiza siadila bobo ni muana, buna bika mabela bobo.”
15 Bosi babonga nkhailu bakubika ayi bifunda biodi bi zimbongo, ayi va kimueka na Benyamini bayenda ku Ngipiti kuidi Yozefi.
16 Bo Yozefi kamona Benyamini, mu thinu wukamba dibakala diaba kiebanga biuma ku nzo’andi: “Nata babakala ababa ku nzo ayi vonda bibulu muingi wulamba, kibila yinkuiza dia yawu va kimueka.”
17 Mu nzaki, dibakala beni wuvanga mambu Yozefi kankamba, ayi wunata babakala beni ku nzo yi Yozefi.
18 Vayi zikhomba zi Yozefi baba mu boma bo ba banata ku nzo yi Yozefi, ayi baba tuba: “Bama tutuadila akuku, mu kibila ki zimbongo ba tuvutudila mu zitsaku mu khumbu yibedi. Buabu bawu bankuiza tunuanisa, bankuiza tukitula mimvika ayi bankuiza bonga ziphunda zitu.”
19 Diawu bafikimina dibakala beni waba kiebanga biuma ku nzo yi Yozefi bo kaba va muelu wu nzo,
20 ayi bankamba: “A fumu, khumbu yibedi befu tuyiza akuku muingi kusumba bidia.
21 Vayi bo tuvitila va kibuangu tuviokisila builu ayi tuzibula zitsaku zitu, tumona ti zimbongo tunata muingi kusumbila bidia ziba mu zitsaku zitu. Diawu tuntomba kuvutula ziawu.
22 Kibila tusa zaba ko nani wuvutula zimbongo mu zitsaku zitu. Tube tuala zimbongo zinkaka muingi tusumba bidia.”
23 Bosi dibakala beni wuba kamba: “Bikanu kutatubuka ayi bikanu kuba boma. Kibila Nzamb’inu ayi Nzambi yi tat’inu nandi wutula kiuka akiokio mu zitsaku zinu. Minu yitambula zimbongo lutuala.” Bosi dibakala beni wutuala Simioni ku nganda ayi wunnata vaba zikhomba ziandi.
24 Bosi dibakala beni wuba nata ku khati nzo yi Yozefi, wuba vana nlangu muingi balava malu ayi mvandi wuvana bititi kuidi ziphunda ziawu muingi badia.
25 Ayi zikhomba zi Yozefi bakubika nkhailu beni banata muingi kuvana Yozefi bo kamvitila, kibila bazaba ti bankuiza dia yandi va kimueka.
26 Bo Yozefi kavitila ku nzo, banata nkhailu beni vo kaba ayi bafukama va ntual’andi.
27 Bosi Yozefi wuba yuvula boti baba buboti ayi mvandi wubue bayuvula: “Tat’inu wukhidi wumonyo? Nandi widi buboti?”
28 Bawu bamvutudila: “Tat’itu wukhidi wumonyo ayi widi buboti.” Bosi bawu bafukama vantual’andi.
29 Bo Yozefi kavumuna thalu ayi kamona Benyamini khomb’andi wubutuka yandi ngudi mueka, nandi wutuba: “Awowo nandi khomb’inu wutsuka no lutubila?” Ayi wukamba Benyamini: “Muan’ama, bika Nzambi ka kumonisa mamboti.”
30 Bo Yozefi kamona khomb’andi Benyamini, mabanza mandi manyikuka ayi mu thinu wutomba kibuangu muingi kue dila. Bosi wuye kota mu mua kivinga ayi wutona kudila.
31 Bo Yozefi kanunga kuyala mabanza mandi, nandi wulava busu buandi, bosi wuvutuka vaba zikhomba ziandi ayi wuba kamba: “Tapulanu bidia.”
32 Batudila Yozefi bidia va mez’andi, zikhomba ziandi va meza yinkaka ayi basi Ngipiti mvandi va mez’awu, kibila basi Ngipiti babasa dianga ko va kimueka na basi Ebeleo. Kuvanga mawu diba diambu ditsonyi kuidi basi Ngipiti.
33 Ayi bakadisa zikhomba zi Yozefi vantuala mez’andi, kutonina mu muana wu nkulutu nati mu muana wutsuka, ayi mu kukuituka bawu baba kuyitalasananga.
34 Yozefi waba tumanga muingi babuela bidia va meza yi zikhomba ziandi, vayi nandi waba luta buelanga bidia mu lulonga lu Benyamini khumbu zitanu kena zikhomba ziandi zinkaka. Mu phila ayoyo, bawu badia, banua ayi bayukuta.
