¹Haddaba Yacquub wuxuu arkay in hadhuudh laga helo Masar, markaasuu Yacquub wiilashiisii ku yidhi, War maxaa midkiinba midka kale u fiirinayaa?

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

²Oo wuxuu yidhi, Bal ogaada, waxaan maqlay in hadhuudh laga helo Masar. Bal xaggaas u dhaadhaca, oo halkaas wax inooga soo iibiya, inaynu noolaanno oo aynaan dhimanin.

³Ipapo vakoma vaJosefa vane gumi va­kaburuka kundotenga zviyo Egipita.

³Markaasaa Yuusuf tobankiisii walaal waxay u tageen Masar inay hadhuudh ka soo iibsadaan.

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

⁴Laakiinse Benyaamiin oo ahaa Yuusuf walaalkiis Yacquub ma uu raacinin walaalihiis; waayo, wuxuu isyidhi, Waaba intaasoo belaayo ku dhacdaa.

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

⁵Markaasaa wiilashii Israa'iil waxay u yimaadeen inay wax iibsadaan, iyagoo la socda kuwii yimid, waayo, abaartu dalkii Kancaanna way ka dhacday.

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

⁶Yuusufna wuxuu ahaa taliyihii dalka, isaguna wuxuu ahaa kii wax ka iibin jiray dadka dalka oo dhan. Markaasay Yuusuf walaalihiis u yimaadeen isagii, oo intay u wada sujuudeen ayay wejiga dhulka wada saareen.

⁷Yuusufna walaalihiis wuu arkay, wuuna gartay, laakiin wuxuu isaga dhigay sidii nin qalaad, oo intuu si qallafsan ula hadlay ayuu wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, War xaggee baad ka timaadeen? Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu ka nimid dalka Kancaan si aannu cunto u iibsanno.

⁸Josefa akaziva vakoma vake, asi ivo havana kumuziva.

⁸Yuusufna wuu gartay walaalihiis laakiinse iyagu ma ay garan isagii.

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

⁹Markaasaa Yuusuf xusuustay riyooyinkii iyaga ku saabsanaa oo uu ku riyooday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Basaasyaad tihiin, oo waxaad u timaadeen inaad aragtaan dhulka abaarnimadiisa.

¹³Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Annagoo ah addoommadaada waxaannu nahay laba iyo toban walaalo ah, oo waxaannu nahay nin jooga dalka Kancaan wiilashiisii; oo bal eeg, kii noogu yaraa wuxuu maanta la joogaa aabbahayo, midna maba joogo.

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

¹⁴Markaasuu Yuusuf iyagii ku yidhi, Taasu waa tii aan idinkula hadlay, anigoo leh, Basaasyaad tihiin.

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

¹⁵Haddaba tan baa laydinku tijaabin doonaa; nolosha Fircoon baan ku dhaartay inaydaan halkan ka tegi doonin, in walaalkiinnii yaraa halkan yimaado mooyaane.

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.

¹⁶Mid idinka mid ah dira, oo ha keeno walaalkiin, idinkuna waad xidhnaan doontaan, in la tijaabiyo hadalkiinna, bal inay runi idinku jirto iyo in kale, haddii kalese hubaal nolosha Fircoon baan ku dhaartay inaad basaasyo tihiin.

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

¹⁷Markaasuu kulligood muddo saddex maalmood ah wada xabbisay.

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

¹⁸Kolkaasaa maalintii saddexaad Yuusuf iyagii ku yidhi, Tan yeela, oo waad noolaan doontaan, waayo, anigu Ilaah baan ka cabsadaa.

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

¹⁹Haddaad niman daacad ah tihiin, walaalihiinna midkood ha ku xidhnaado guriga xabsigiinna; laakiinse idinku taga, oo hadhuudh u geeya reerihiinna abaaraysan.

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

²⁰Walaalkiinna idiinku wada yar ii keena; sidaasuu hadalkiinnu ku rumoobi doonaa, mana aad dhiman doontaan. Iyana sidii bay yeeleen.

²¹Markaasay waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Runtii walaalkeen eed baan ka galnay, maxaa yeelay, waxaynu aragnay naftiisii dhibaatada ku jirtay, markuu ina baryay, mana aynu maqlin, sidaas daraaddeed ayay dhibaatadanu inoogu dhacday.

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

²²Markaasaa Ruubeen u jawaabay iyagii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Miyaanan idinla hadlin oo idinku odhan, Wiilka ha ku dembaabina, oo sow ima aydin maqli waayin? Haddaba bal eega, dhiiggiisii baa laydin weyddiistaye.

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

²³Oo iyana ma ay ogayn in Yuusuf gartay iyaga; waayo, turjumaan baa kala dhex joogay.

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

²⁴Markaasuu ka sii jeestay iyagii, wuuna ooyay; oo haddana intuu ku soo noqday ayuu la hadlay, oo wuxuu kala dhex baxay Simecoon, wuuna xidhay isagii iyagoo arkaya.

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

²⁵Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu amray in joonyadahoodii hadhuudh looga buuxiyo, iyo in nin walba lacagtiisii loogu celiyo joonyaddiisii iyo in sahay jidka loo siiyo, oo sidii baana loo yeelay.

²⁶Ipapo vakatakudza madhongi avo zviyo zvavo, vakaenda.

²⁶Markaasay hadhuudhkoodii dameerradoodii ku rarteen, wayna ka tageen halkaas.

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

²⁷Meeshay ku hoydeen markii uu midkood joonyaddiisii ugu furay inuu dameerkiisii cunto siiyo ayuu arkay lacagtiisii oo ku jirta joonyaddiisii afkeeda.

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

²⁸Markaasuu walaalihiis ku yidhi, Lacagtaydii waa lay soo celiyey; oo waxay ku jirtaa joonyaddayda, markaasay qalbiga ka nexeen, oo ay isku jeesteen iyagoo gariiraya, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Waa maxay waxakan Ilaah inagu sameeyey?

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

²⁹Markaasay aabbahood Yacquub ugu yimaadeen dalkii Kancaan, oo waxay isagii u sheegeen wixii ku dhacay oo dhan, iyagoo leh,

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

³⁰Ninka sayidka u ah dalka ayaa si qallafsan noola hadlay, oo wuxuu noo qaatay inaannu dalka basaasayno.

³¹Tikati kwaari, Tiri vanhu vakate­ndeka, hatizi vashori;

³²Waxaannu nahay laba iyo toban walaalo ah, oo ah wiilashii aabbahayo. Mid ma joogo, kii noogu yaraana maanta dalkii Kancaan ayuu aabbahayo la joogaa.

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.

³³Markaasaa ninkii sayidka u ahaa dalka wuxuu nagu yidhi, Inaad niman daacad ah tihiin tanaan idinku garan doonaaye; walaalihiin mid igaga taga, oo hadhuudh u qaada reerihiinna abaaraysan, oo iska taga,

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

³⁴oo ii keena walaalkiinnii idiinku wada yaraa, markaasaan garan doonaa inaydaan basaasyo ahayn, laakiinse inaad tihiin niman daacad ah. Markaasaan walaalkiin idin siin doonaa, dalkana waad ka baayacmushtari doontaan.

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

³⁵Oo waxay noqotay in markay joonyadahoodii hadhuudhkii ka shubeen, nin walba xidhmadiisii lacagta ahayd ay ugu jirtay joonyaddiisii, oo markii iyaga iyo aabbahood ay arkeen xidhmooyinkoodii lacagta ahaa ayay baqeen.

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

³⁶Markaasaa aabbahood Yacquub wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Gablan baad iga dhigteen, bal eeg, Yuusuf ma joogo, oo Simecoon ma joogo, oo haddana waxaad kaxayn doontaan Benyaamiin; waxyaalahan oo dhammu waa iga gees.

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

³⁷Markaasaa Ruubeen aabbihiis la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii aan isaga kuu keeni waayo, dil labadayda wiil. Aniga ii dhiib isaga, oo anna waan kuu soo celin doonaa.Markaasuu yidhi, Wiilkaygu idinla dhaadhici maayo; waayo, walaalkiis waa dhintay, oo keligiis baa hadhay. Haddii jidka aad sii maraysaan belaayo kaga dhacdo isaga, de markaas cirradayda caloolxumaad qabriga la gelin doontaan.
