¹Zvino Jakove akaona kuti zviyo zvaiveko kuEgipita, Jakove akati kuvanakomana vake, Munotari­rana neiko?

¹¶ Na ka kite a Hakopa he witi kei Ihipa, ka mea a Hakopa ki ana tama, He aha koutou i tirotiro ai ki a koutou ano?

²Akati, Ndanzwa kuti zviyo zviriko kuEgipita; burukiraiko, mu­ndotitengerako, tipone, tirege kufa.

²I mea ano ia, Nana, kua rongo ahau he witi kei Ihipa: haere iho ki reira, ki te hoko i tetahi ma tatou i reira; kia ora ai tatou, kei mate.

³Ipapo vakoma vaJosefa vane gumi va­kaburuka kundotenga zviyo Egipita.

³Na ka haere nga tuakana kotahi tekau o Hohepa ki raro, ki Ihipa, ki te hoko witi.

⁴Asi Bhenjamini, munin'ina waJosefa, Jakove haana kumutuma navakoma vake; nekuti akati, Zvimwe angawirwa nenjodzi.

⁴Ko Pineamine ia, teina o Hohepa, kihai i tonoa e Hakopa i roto i ona tuakana; i mea hoki ia, Kei pono tetahi aitua ki a ia.

⁵Zvino vanakomana vaIsiraeri vakauya kuzotenga pakati pavamwe vaiuya, no­kuti nzara yakanga iripo panyika yeKe­nani.

⁵A ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki te hoko i roto i te hunga i haere: he matekai hoki to te whenua o Kanaana.

⁶Zvino Josefa aiva mubati wenyika; ndiye aitengesera vanhu vose venyika; vakoma vaJosefa vakauya, va­kamupfugamira, zviso zvavo zvakatarira pasi.

⁶Na ko Hohepa te kawana o te whenua, ko ia te kaihoko ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua: na ka haere mai nga tuakana o Hohepa, a ka piko o ratou kanohi ki te whenua i tona aroaro.

⁷Josefa akaona vakoma vake, aka­vaziva, asi akaita saasingavazivi, aka­taura nehasha navo, akati kwavari, Ma­bvepiko? Ivo vakati, Tabva kunyika yeKanani kuzotenga zvokudya.

⁷¶ A, i te kitenga o Hohepa i ona tuakana, ka mohio ia ki a ratou, otiia ka whakatangata ke ia ki a ratou, ka korero whakatuma ki a ratou; ka mea hoki ki a ratou, I haere mai koutou i hea? A ka mea ratou, I te whenua o Kanaana, ki te hoko kai.

⁸Josefa akaziva vakoma vake, asi ivo havana kumuziva.

⁸A i mohio a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, ko ratou ia kihai i mohio ki a ia.

⁹Ipapo Josefa akara­ngarira kurota kwake kwaakadeya kurota pamusoro pavo, akati kwavari, Muri vashori, mauya kuzoona kuti nyika yaka­shama papi.

⁹Na ka mahara a Hohepa ki nga moe i moe ai ia mo ratou, a ka mea ki a ratou, He tutei koutou; he whakataki i te wateatanga o te whenua i haere mai ai koutou.

¹⁰Ivo vakati kwaari, Kwete, ishe wedu, asi varanda venyu vauya kuzote­nga zvokudya.

¹⁰A ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kahore, e toku ariki, engari i haere mai au pononga ki te hoko kai.

¹¹Tiri vanakomana vomu­nhu mumwe chete tose; tiri vanhu vaka­tendeka, varanda venyu havazi vashori;

¹¹He tama katoa matou na te tangata kotahi; he hunga pono matou, ehara au pononga i te tutei.

¹²iye akati kwavari, Kwete, mauya ku­zoona nyika kuti yakashama papi.

¹²A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore, engari he whakataki i te wateatanga o te whenua i haere mai ai koutou.

¹³Ivo vakati, Isu varanda venyu, tiri vanakomana vane gumi navaviri vomu­nhu mumwe chete panyika yeKanani; zvino worugotwe ari kuna baba vedu nhasi; mumwe haachisipo.

¹³A ka mea ratou, Kotahi tekau ma rua au pononga, he teina, he tuakana matou, he tama na te tangata kotahi, no te whenua o Kanaana; ko te whakaotinga kei to matou papa inaianei, ko tetahi kua kahore.

¹⁴Josefa akati kwavari, Ndizvo zva­ndanga ndichitaura kwamuri, ndichiti muri vashori;

¹⁴Na ko te meatanga a Hohepa ki a ratou, Ko ia taku i korero ai ki a koutou, i mea ai, He tutei koutou:

¹⁵hechi chinhu chamuchae­dzwa nacho. Noupenyu hwaFarao, hamu­ngabudi pano kana munin'ina wenyu wo­rugotwe asina kuuya pano.

¹⁵Ma konei ka mohiotia ai koutou: e ora ana a Parao e kore koutou e haere atu i konei, ki te kahore to koutou whakaotinga e haere mai ki konei.

¹⁶Tumai mumwe wenyu kuti andotora munin'ina wenyu, asi imwi muchafanira kugara ma­kasungwa, kuti mashoko enyu aedzwe, kana makatendeka; kana zvisina kudaro, zvirokwazvo, noupenyu hwaFarao muri vashori.

¹⁶Tukua atu tetahi o koutou ki te tiki i to koutou teina, ko koutou hoki, ka herea koutou, kia mohiotia ai a koutou korero, he pono ranei ta koutou: a ki te kahore, e ora ana a Parao, ina, he tutei koutou.

¹⁷Ipapo akavaisa pamwechete vose mutirongo, kuti vachengetwe ma­zuva matatu.

¹⁷Na ka huihuia ratou e ia kia tiakina, e toru nga ra.

¹⁸Josefa akati kwavari nezuva retatu, Itai chinhu ichi, mupone; ini ndinotya Mwari;

¹⁸A i te toru o nga ra ka mea a Hohepa ki a ratou, Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai kia ora ai koutou; he tangata wehi hoki ahau i te Atua:

¹⁹kana muri vanhu vakatendeka, mumwe wavanin'ina venyu ngaagare akasungwa mutirongo yenyu; asi imwi endai makatakura zviyo kundopa mhuri dzenyu dzine nzara.

¹⁹Ki te mea he hunga pono koutou, me here tetahi o o koutou tuakana i roto i te whare i tiakina ai koutou: otiia me haere koutou ki te kawe witi mo te matekai o o koutou whare:

²⁰Mugouya nomunu­nuna wenyu worugotwe kwandiri; nai­zvozvo mashoko enyu achasimbiswa, murege kufa. Vakaita saizvozvo.

²⁰A me kawe mai to koutou teina, te whakaotinga, ki ahau; kia whakatikaia ai a koutou kupu; a e kore koutou e mate. A pena ana ratou.

²¹Va­kataurirana vachiti, Zvirokwazvo tine mhosva nokuda komunin'ina wedu, no­kuti takaona kutambudzika komweya wake musi uya waakatinyengetera, tika­ramba kumuteerera; naizvozvo tawirwa nokutainbudzika.

²¹¶ A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, He pono kua whai hara tatou i to tatou teina; i kite hoki tatou i te mamae o tona wairua, i a ia i inoi ai ki a tatou, a kihai tatou i whakarongo atu; na reira hoki i puta mai ai tenei he ki a tatou.

²²Ipapo Rubheni akapindura, akati, Handina kukuudzai here, ndichiti, Re­gai kutadzira mwana, mukaramba kundi­teerera? Naizvozvo tarirai, ropa rake rotsvakwa.

²²Na ka whakahoki a Reupena ki a ratou, ka mea, Kahore ianei ahau i ki atu ki a koutou, i mea, Kaua e hara ki te tamaiti; a kihai koutou i rongo? na, ko ona toto ano hoki tenei te whakatakina nei.

²³Zvino vakanga vasingazivi kuti Josefa anonzwisisa, nekuti kwanga kuine mupinduri pakati pavo.

²³A kihai ratou i mohio e rongo ana a Hohepa; no te mea he kaiwhakamaori hoki i waenganui i a ratou.

²⁴Ipapo Josefa akabva kwavari, akachema; aka­dzokerazve kwavari, akataura navo, aka­tora Simioni pakati pavo, akamusunga vachizviona.

²⁴Na ka tahuri ke atu ia i a ratou, a ka tangi: ka hoki ano ia ki a ratou, ka korero ki a ratou, ka tango hoki i a Himiona i roto i a ratou, a herea ana e ia ki to ratou aroaro.

²⁵Josefa akaraira kuti mi­dziyo yavo izadzwe nezviyo, uye kuti mumwe nomumwe adzoserwe mari yake muhomwe yake, uye kuti vapiwewo mbuva yokufamba nayo; vakaitirwa sai­zvozvo.

²⁵Na ka whakahaua e Hohepa kia whakakiia a ratou peke ki te witi, kia whakahokia atu nga moni a tenei, a tenei, ki a ratou peke, kia hoatu ano hoki ki a ratou he o ki te ara; na pera ana ia ki a ratou.

²⁶Ipapo vakatakudza madhongi avo zviyo zvavo, vakaenda.

²⁶Na ka utaina e ratou a ratou witi ki a ratou kaihe, a haere atu ana i reira.

²⁷Zvino mumwe wavo akati achisunungura ho­mwe yake, kuti ape dhongi rake zvokudya pavakavata usiku, akawana mari yake; heyo yakanga iri mumuromo wehomwe yake.

²⁷A, i te whakatuwheratanga a tetahi o ratou i tana peke kia hoatu he kai ma tana kaihe i te whare tira, ka kitea e ia tana moni; na, kei te waha tonu o tana peke.

²⁸Akati kuhama dzake, Mari yangu yadzoswa; heyi iri muho­mwe yangu; ipapo vakaora moyo, va­katarirana, vachibvunda, vakati, Chi­nyiko ichi chataitirwa naMwari?

²⁸A ka mea ia ki ona tuakana, Kua whakahokia mai taku moni; a tenei ano kei roto i taku peke; na kore ake o ratou ngakau, a ka tahuri ratou me te wiri, ka mea tetahi ki tetahi, He mahi aha tenei a te Atua ki a tatou?

²⁹Vakasvika kuna baba vavo pa­nyika yeKanani, vakavaudza zvose zva­kanga zvavawira;

²⁹¶ Na ka tae ratou ki a Hakopa, ki to ratou papa, ki te whenua o Kanaana, a ka korerotia ki a ia nga mea katoa i pono ki a ratou; ka mea,

³⁰vakati, Murume uya, ishe wenyika iyoyo, akataura nesu nehasha, akati, tiri vashori venyika.

³⁰I korero whakatuma mai te rangatira o te whenua ki a matou; i kiia ano matou e ia he tutei mo te whenua.

³¹Tikati kwaari, Tiri vanhu vakate­ndeka, hatizi vashori;

³¹A ka mea matou ki a ia, He tangata pono matou; ehara matou i te tutei.

³²tiri vanakomana vane gumi navaviri vomunhu mumwe chete, vanakomana vababa vedu; mu­mwe haachipo, worugotwe ari kuna baba vedu nhasi panyika yeKanani.

³²Kotahi tekau ma rua matou, he tuakana, he teina, he tama na to matou papa; kotahi kua kore, kei to matou papa hoki te whakaotinga inaianei, kei te whenua o Kanaana.

³³Zvino murume uya, ishe wenyika, akati kwatiri, Hechi chinhu chandicha­ziva nacho kuti muri vakatendeka, Si­yai mumwe wenyu kwandiri, mutore zviyo, mundopa mhuri dzenyu dzine nzara, muende.

³³Na ko te meatanga mai a taua tangata, a te rangatira o te whenua, ki a matou, Ma tenei e mohio ai ahau he hunga pono koutou; me waiho e koutou tetahi o o koutou tuakana ki ahau, a me mau atu e koutou he kai mo te matekai o o koutou whare, a ka h aere:

³⁴Mugouyazve kwa­ndiri nomunin'ina wenyu worugotwe; ipapo ndichaziva kuti hamuzi vashori, asi kuti muri vanhu vakatendeka; ipapo ndichakupai munin'ina wenyu, mugote­nga panyika ino.

³⁴A me kawe mai to koutou teina, te whakaotinga, ki ahau: kia mohio ai ahau ehara koutou i te tutei, engari he hunga pono koutou: penei ka hoatu e ahau to koutou tuakana ki a koutou, a ka hokohoko koutou ki tenei whenua.

³⁵Zvino vakati vachidurura homwe dzavo, tarira chiputu chemari yomumwe nomumwe chakanga chiri muhomwe yake; vakati vachiona zviputu zvemari yavo, vakatya ivo nababa vavo.

³⁵A, i a ratou e ringiringi ana i a ratou peke, na, ko te moni a tenei, a tenei e takai ana i roto i a ratou peke: a, ka kite ratou ko to ratou papa i nga moni e takai ana, na ka wehi ratou.

³⁶Zvino Jakove akati kwavari, Manditorera vana; Josefa haachipo, naSimioni haa­chipo, zvino moda kutora naBhenjami­niwo; zvinhu zvose izvi zvandiwira.

³⁶Na ka mea a Hakopa, to ratou papa, ki a ratou, Ka whakapania ahau e koutou: ko Hohepa kua kahore, ko Himiona hoki kua kahore, a ka tangohia nei e koutou a Pineamine: he pehi moku enei mea katoa.

³⁷Ipapo Rubheni akataura nababa vake, akati, Mungauraya henyu vanako­mana vangu vaviri, kana ndisingadzoki naye kwamuri; chimuisai henyu mu­maoko angu, ini ndichauya nayezve kwa­muri.

³⁷Na ka korero a Reupena ki tona papa, ka mea, Whakamatea aku tama tokorua, ki te kahore ia e kawea mai e ahau ki a koe: homai ia ki toku ringa, a maku ia e whakahoki mai ki a koe.

³⁸Vakati, Mwanakomana wangu haangaburuki nemi, nekuti mukoma wake wakafa, iye asiiwa ari oga; kana akawirwa nenjodzi parwendo rwamuno­famba, muchaburutsira vhudzi rangu jena kuguva nokuchema.

³⁸A ka mea ia, E kore taku tama e haere tahi i a koutou ki raro: kua mate hoki tona tuakana, a ko ia anake ka mahue nei; a ki te pono he aitua ki a ia i te ara e haere nei koutou, katahi ka meinga toku koroheketanga e koutou kia heke tangi atu ki te po.
