44 Bosi Yozefi wukamba dibakala waba kiebanga biuma ku nzo’andi: “Wesa bidia mu zitsaku zi babakala abobo nati mu kitesu kio balenda nunga kunata, ayi tula zimbongo ziawu mu tsaku yi kadika mutu.
2 Vayi tula mbungu’ama yi palata mu tsaku yi muana wutsuka, mvandi tula zimbongo kabe tuala muingi kusumbila bidia mu tsaku beni.” Mu phila ayoyo, kisadi ki Yozefi wuvanga mambu moso bankamba.
3 Bo buisi bukia, babika babakala beni benda ku Kanani na ziphunda ziawu.
4 Bo vavioka mua thangu, Yozefi wukamba kisadi kiandi: “Landakana babakala abobo, ayi ngie kuba bakidila, wuba kamba: ‘Kibila mbi lube phutudila mambi mu mamboti yibe luvangila?
5 Kibila mbi benu lube kuibila mbungu yi fumu’ama yo kannuinanga vinu, ayi yo kansadilanga muingi kuzabila mambu mankuiza kuntuala? Mambu lube vanga masi ko mamboti.’”
6 Kisadi ki Yozefi wuba landakana ayi wuba bakidila, bosi wuba kamba mambu Yozefi kankamba.
7 Vayi bawu bankamba: “A fumu, kibila mbi widi mu kutubila mambu amomo? Bisadi biaku balendi vanga ko mambu ma phila ayoyo.
8 Befu tuvutudi zimbongo zio tumona mu zitsaku zitu bo tuaba kuenda ku Kanani. Buabu, kibila mbi tulenda kuibila wola voti palata yi fumu’aku?
9 Boti vadi mutu mu befu bekuiba mbungu yi fumu’aku, buna kafueti fua, ayi mvandi befu boso tunkuiza ba mimvika mi fumu’aku.”
10 Diawu nandi kaba kambila: “Bika mavangimina dedi bo luma tubila: Yoso tsaku yinkuiza muena mbungu beni, mutu vuidi yawu wunkuiza ba mvik’ama, vayi bankaka basinkuiza ba ko fotu mu mawu.”
11 Mu phila ayoyo, kadika mutu mu bawu wukulula tsaku’andi mu phunda ayi wuzibula yawu.
12 Bosi kisadi ki Yozefi wubila buboti mu zitsaku ziawu, kutonina mu tsaku yi muana wunkulutu nati mu tsaku yi muana wutsuka. Ayi wubakula mbungu beni mu tsaku yi Benyamini.
13 Bo zikhomba zi Benyamini bamona mawu, bakakuna bikhutu biawu, ayi kadika mutu mu bawu wubue kandika tsaku’andi va mbata phunda, ayi bavutuka ku Ngipiti.
14 Bo Yuda ayi zikhomba ziandi bakota ku nzo Yozefi, bayembata kuna. Ayi bo bammona, bawu bafukama vantual’andi.
15 Yozefi wuba kamba: “Kibila mbi lube vangila mambu amomo? Benu lusa zaba ko ti minu yilenda zaba mambu mankuiza kuntuala?”
16 Mu phila ayoyo, Yuda wumvutudila: “Mambu mbi tulenda bue kamba fumu? Mbi tulenda tuba? Ayi buidi tulenda monisina bivisa ti tuisi ko fotu? Nzambi yikiedika bebakula nzimbala yi bisadi biaku. Buabu tueka mimvika mi fumu’itu, kuba kuandi befu ayi mutu vuidi tsaku mubedi mbungu’aku.”
17 Vayi, Yozefi wuba kamba: “Minu yilendi vanga ko mambu amomo. Mutu no vuidi tsaku babe muena mbungu’ama, nandi to wunkuiza ba mvik’ama. Vayi benu bankaka mulenda vutuka kuinu mu ndembama kuidi tat’inu.”
18 Bosi Yuda wufikama vaba Yozefi ayi wunkamba: “A fumu, lemvuka yi kudinda, bika kisadi kiaku kayoluka ayi bika kudasuka bo kisadi kiaku kenkoluka yaku, kibila ngie widi buka naveka Falawo.
19 Ngie wutuyuvula: ‘Tat’inu wukhidi wumonyo? Ayi lukhidi khomba wunkaka?’
20 Diawu tuvutudila kuidi fumu’itu: ‘Tat’itu wukhidi wumonyo ayi weka kiboba. Mvandi tuidi khomba wutsuka, vayi khomba wubutuka yandi ngudi yimueka wufua, nandi to mana siala mu kivumu ki mam’andi ayi tat’itu wu kunzolanga beni.’
21 Bosi, ngie wutukamba: ‘Yenda landanu khomb’inu ayi ntualanu akuku, muingi yimmona.’
22 Vayi befu tukukamba: ‘Khomb’itu wutsuka kalendi tatuka ko tat’itu. Na kuvanga mawu, khanu tat’itu wunkuiza fua.’
23 Bosi ngie wutukamba: ‘Mulendi vutuka ko akuku mukhambu tuala khomb’inu wutsuka.’
24 “Ayi bo tuvutuka ku Kanani, befu tuzabikisa mambu ngie fumu wutukamba kuidi tat’itu.
25 Vayi bo vavioka mua thangu, tat’itu wutukamba: ‘Vutukanu ku Ngipiti muingi kuesumba bidia.’
26 Befu tunkamba: ‘Tulendi vutuka ko ku Ngipiti befu khambu nata khomb’itu wutsuka, kibila dibakala beni wutukamba muingi tubika monika vantual’andi befu khambu nata khomb’itu wutsuka.’
27 Bosi, tat’itu, wutukamba: ‘Benu luzebi buboti ti nkazi’ama Rakeli, bana buadi to kabuta.
28 Vayi muana wunkaka wuzimbala, diawu minu yitubila: “Bukiedika, nandi ba bendia kuidi kibulu ki nganzi.” Ayi tona mu thangu beni, yisiala bue kummona ko.
29 Buabu benu kunata khomb’andi ayi va kumonika diambu mu nzila dilenda tuadisa lufua luandi, buna benu lunkuiza tuadisa lufua luama.*
30 “Buabu minu kuvutuka kuidi tat’itu, mukhambu nata muana awuwu no nandi kanzolanga beni,
31 ayi na kutumona ti tusa nata ko khomb’itu wutsuka, buna nandi wunkuiza fua. Ayi tat’itu na kufua, befu tunkuiza ba fotu mu lufua luandi.*
32 Minu yikanikisa kuidi papa mu kunkamba: ‘Minu kukhambu tuala muan’aku wutsuka kuidi ngiewu, buna minu yala ba fotu mu luzingu luama loso.’
33 Diawu a fumu, lemvuka, bika minu yiba mvika va mvingi khomb’itu wutsuka, muingi nandi kavutuka va kimueka na zikhomba ziama zinkaka.
34 Buidi minu yinkuiza vutukila kuidi tat’ama mukhambu nata khomb’itu wutsuka? Minu yisinkuiza nunga ko kumona tat’ama kutovuka mu kibila ki mambu amomo.”
