Abalansha bukali bukali, abepusha ati, “Bushe imwe mwafuma kwi?” Bamwasuka abati, “Twafuma ku calo ca Kenani, twaisa kukushita ifyakulya.”

Mwishilefye kukulengula apakusanshila icalo cesu.” 10Nabo bamwasuka abati, “Iyoo shikulu, ifwe fwe babomfi bobe twishilefye kukushita ifyakulya. 11Kabili ifwe bonse pano tuli bana ba muntufye umo. Fwe babomfi bobe tuli bantu bacishinka, tatuli nengu iyoo.” 12Yosefu wena abeba ati, “Awe iyo! Muli nengu mwishilefye mukumona umo mwingasanshila icalo cesu.” 13Bamwasuka abati, “Fwe babomfi bobe tuli bamunyina. Twaba ikumi limo na babili, abana abaume aba muntufye umo uwikala mu calo ca Kenani. Kasuli ena ali na shifwe, lelo umbi ena tabapo.” 14Yosefu abeba ati, “Ala nifyo fine nandile ukuti imwe muli nengu. 15Kabili muleeshiwa muli ici cintu. Napali Farao umumi!

Imwe bonse mulesungwa mu cifungo epakuti tumone nga ifyo mulelanda cine cine fyacishinka, lelo nga teifyo na pali Farao ninshi muli nengu.” 17Elyo ababika mu cifungo pa nshiku shitatu.

18Pa bushiku bwalengele shitatu Yosefu abeba ati, “Citeni ici nga mube abomi, pantu ine naliba na katiina kuli Lesa. 19Imwe nga muli bantu bacishinka, lekeni munyinenwe umo ashale kuno mu cifungo. Elyo imwe bambi bonse mubwelelemo, mutwale iŋanu ku ndupwa shenu ishili mu cipowe. 20Lelo muli nokuleta kasuli wenu kuli ine pakuti nkashininkishe amashiwi yenu, no kufwa ninshi tamwakafwe.” Awe nabo efyo bacita. 21Balalanshanya abati, “Cine cine tulekandilwa pa mulandu wakwa munyinefwe. Twalimwene ifyo ali no bulanda ilyo aletupapata ukuti twimulofya, lelo ifwe tatwamumfwile nakalya. E mulandu wine ili shamo litwishile.” 22#Icite 37:21-22Rubeni epakubeba ati, “Bushe nshamwebele ukuti mwicita mwaice cibi nelyo cimo? Lelo tamwateseshe nakalya. Awe nomba tuli nokukandwa pa mulandu wakumwipaya.” 23Bamunyina bena tabaishibe ukuti Yosefu aletesha ifyo balelanda umo filolele, pantu pali uwalemwalwila ifyo balanda. 24Yosefu afuma apo bali, aya mukulila. Elyo kabili abwela uko bali, alalanda nabo. Afumya Simeoni apo bali, amukaka ninshi balemonako.

Bamunyina kwa Yosefu babwelelamo ku Kenani

25Yosefu akonkomeshe ukwisusha iŋanu mu mifuko ya bamunyina, no kubwesesha cila umo indalama shabo mu mufuko wakwe. Kabili akonkomesha ukubapeelako ifyakulya fya pa bulendo. Awe fyonse ifyo fyalicitilwe. 26Bamunyina kwa Yosefu bakakila imifuko ya ŋanu pali bapunda babo, balaya nokuya. 27Apo basendeme, umo pali bamunyina akakula umufuko wakwe pakuti abuulemo ifyakulisha punda wakwe, elyo amona indalama shakwe pa mulu wa ŋanu. 28Aebele bamunyina ati, “Ine nabambwesesha indalama shandi, ishi shili pamulu mu mufuko.” Awe imitima yafuma, balaipushanya balekankafye ku mwenso abati, “Cinshi ici ico Lesa atucitila ifi?”

29Ilyo bafikile kuli shibo Yakobo mu calo ca Kenani, bamushimikileko fyonse ifyabacitikile. Bamweba abati, 30“Umuntu uteeka icalo ca Egupto alandile kuli ifwe bukali bukali, atucitile kwati ifwe tuli nengu sha calo. 31Lelo ifwe twamwebele twati, ‘Ifwe tuli bantu bacishinka, tatuli nengu iyoo. 32Tuli bamunyina ikumi limo na babili (12) na shifwe umofye. Umo wena tabapo, elyo kasuli ali na shifwe mu calo ca Kenani.’ 33Elyo uyo muntu ateeka icalo ca Egupto atweba ati, ‘Pakuti njishibe ukuti muli bantu bacishinka, mulenshila munyinenwe kuno, elyo bambi musende iŋanu ku ndupwa shenu ishili mu cipowe, nokuya muleya. 34Lelo muli nokuleta kuli ine munyinenwe kasuli wenu, lyena elyo nkeshiba ukuti tamuli nengu, muli bantu bacishinka. Elyo na ine nkamubwesesha munyinenwe, lyena kuti mwacita amakwebo muli cino calo.’”

35Ilyo batampile ukufukumuna iŋanu mu mifuko yabo, cila muntu asangamo akafunda ka ndalama shakwe mu mufuko wakwe. Cilya shibo na bamwane bamona utufunda twa ndalama, awe baikatwa no mwenso. 36Shibo Yakobo abeba ati, “Imwe namumpwila abana bandi. Yosefu tabapo, elyo na Simeoni nao talipo, kabili nomba mulefwaya ukusenda Benjamini. Fyonse nafimbipila!” 37Elyo Rubeni aeba wishi ati, “Ine nga nshibweseshe Benjamini kuli imwe, ninshi mukepaye abana bandi abaume babili. Mubikeni mu minwe yandi, nkamubwesha kuli imwe.” 38Lelo Yakobo abeba ati, “Umwana wandi wena tamwakaye nankwe. Munyina alifwa, elyo uyu wine eka ewashalapo. Pantu nga aponena mu busanso pa bulendo bwenu ninshi nimwe mukalenga nkaya ku calo ca bafwa ne cikonko mu bukote bwandi.”
