Ndugu zake Yosefu wohita Misili kugula uhemba
1Yakobo viyamanyile kuwa uko Misili kuna ndiya, kawalongela wanage, “Habali mweye moilola mweye kwa mweye muhala? 2Nihulika uko Misili kuna ndiya, hiteni uko mukagule ndiya muladi sekechidanganike kwa nzala.” 3Ivo ndugu longo wa Yosefu wahita Misili kugula ndiya. 4Mbali Yakobo hamulekele bule Benjamini mdodo wake Yosefu kuhita na ndugu zake, kwaviya kadumba chinhu chihile kumulumiza.
5Wana wa Isilaili wafika Misili, wagula ndiya fana viya wamwenga, kwaviya uko kwiisi ya Kanaani kukala na nzala. 6Chipindi icho, Yosefu niiyo yoyakalile mulolesi wa isi ya Misili, yoyawachuuzile ndiya wanhu walawile zisi zose. Ivo ndugu zake Yosefu weza na wamtumbalila mavindi mbaka vihanga vidalisa hasi. 7Yosefu viyawawone ndugu zake kawatambula, mbali kaitenda fana viya hawamanyile bule. Kawauza kwa ukali, “Mweye mulawa kulihi?”
Nawo wamwidika, “Chilawa isi ya Kanaani, chiza kugula ndiya.”
8Yosefu kawamanya sekulu zake, mbali wawo hawammanyile bule. 9Yosefu kaikumbuka nzozi yoyailotile na kalonga, “Mweye mwiza kupelemba unyonyonde wa isi yetu.”
10Ndugu zake wamwidika, “Siyo mwenevale. Cheye ni wasang'hani wako chiza kugula ndiya. 11Cheye chose ni ndugu, cheye siyo wapelembaji, cheye wasang'hani wako ni wanhu hachilonda uvwizi.”
12Mbali Yosefu kagendelela kulonga, “Siyo! Mwiza kupelemba unyondenyonde muna iisi yetu.”
13Wamulongela, “Cheye wasang'hani wako, chose cha ndugu longo na waidi, wana wa munhu imwe mkaya wa Kanaani. Ndugu yetu imwe kadanganika, na mdodo wetu kasigala na tati yetu.”
14Yosefu kawedika, “Fana viya viniwalongele, mweye mwa wapelembaji. 15Vino niivo vondamugezigwe, noilaha kwa zina da mfalume, hano hamwizahalawa mbaka mdodo wenu vondayeze hano. 16Mtumeni imwe wenu yamsondelele ndugu yenu imdodo na kuno wamwenga wogozela muna ichifungo baho hondaumanyike ulonzi wenu kweli yake, la sivo noilaha kwa zina da mfalume, mweye mwa wapelembaji.” 17Maabaho kawaguma muna ichifungo kwa siku nhatu. 18Siku yetatu Yosefu kawalongela, “Kwaviya niye nomdumba Mulungu, tendeni vino na mweye mwizakala. 19One mweye mwa wanhu siyo wauvwizi, imwe wenu yasigale muna ichifungo, wamwenga wawagalile ndiya ndugu zenu ukaye weli na nzala. 20Maabaho mumgale mdodo wenu kumwangu. Iyo yolagusa ukweli wa ulonzi wenu, na hamwizakomigwa bule.” Waitogolela ivo. 21Maabaho walonganya, “Lelo cheye cha muna yamagayo kwa ichimu cha yaja yochimtendele Yosefu ndugu yetu, chimuwona kakala na luholozi mkulu hata viya viyachilambile nhazo, mbali cheye hachimtegeleze bule. Lekamana magayo yano yose yochilawilila.”
22Lubeni kawedika, “Siwalongele bule kuwa sekemumulumize mbwanga? Mbali mweye hamunitegeleze bule! Lelo damu yake yolondigwa kumwetu.” 23Yosefu kakala yovimanya yose yowakalile wolonga, mbali wawo hawavimanyile bule kuwa kavimanya, kwaviya viyalongile kalonga nawo kwa nzila ya mfambulaji. 24Yosefu kasegela hoyakalile na kandusa kulila. Kabwela na kulonga nawo, kamgwila Simeoni na kamfunga haulongozi wawo.
Ndugu wa Yosefu wobwela Kanaani
25Yosefu kalagiliza maguniya yawo ya kusumila yamemezigwe ndiya na kumbwelezela chila imwe wawo hela muna diguniya jake na ndiya ya mzila. Ivo niivo itendeke. 26Wawapapiza mbahasha zawo vihongwe, na maabaho wasegela. 27Viwafikile hanhu ha kugona nyambenyambe, imwe wawo kafungula lobota jake yadahe kumdima chihongwe wake, kazanywa kuwona hela yake muna diguniya jake. 28Kawalongela ndugu zake, “Hela yangu ibwelezigwa.” Aino hano hanadiguniya jangu! Viwahulike yayo mizoyo yawo igwa na wakala wogudema kwa ludumbo na kwiiuzagiza wenyewo, “Chinhu chaki chino Mulungu choyachitendele?”
29Viwafikile kwa tati yawo Yakobo uko kuna iisi ya Kanaani, wamulongela mbuli zose zozilawilile. 30“Mkulu wa isi ya Misili kalonga na cheye kwa ukali na kuchilonga cheye cha wapelembaji muna iisi yake. 31Mbali cheye chimwidika, ‘Cheye siyo wapelembaji, cha wanhu hachilonga uvwizi. 32Chimulongela kuwa cheye cha ndugu longo na waidi, wana wa tata imwe. Ndugu yetu imwe ni mwene kwaga, mdodo wetu kauko kuna iisi ya Kanaani hamwe na tati yetu.’ 33Mbali mkulu wa isi ija kachilongela, ‘Vino niivo vondanivimanye kuwa mweye mwa wanhu hamulonga uvwizi, mulekeni kumwangu ndugu yenu imwe, na wamwenga mgale ndiya kwa jamaa zenu weli na nzala. 34Mumgale mdodo wenu kumwangu. Maabaho nizavimanya kuwa hamuli wapelembaji, mbali wanhu hawalonga uvwizi. Nizaweng'ha ndugu yenu kubwela nayo, na mwizadaha kulekelwa kutenda uchuluzi muna iisi ino.’ ”
35Viwakalile wokung'huna ndiya kulawa muna yamaguniya yawo, wazanywa kuwona chila imwe wawo kabweleziligwa chifuko chake na hela mgati ya guniya jake. Viwawone zihela, wawo na tati yawo Yakobo wadumba. 36Yakobo tati yawo kawalongela, “Monihoka wanangu, Yosefu kakwabule, Simeoni kakwabule, na lelo molonda kumsola Benjamini. Manhesa yose yamhata niye!”
37Lubeni kamulongela tati yake, “Fana niye simbweleze bule Benjamini kumwako, uwakome wanangu waidi. Muleke Benjamini muna imikono yangu na niye nizamkaliza na kumbweleza kumwako.”
38Mbali Yakobo kalonga, “Mwanangu haita hamwe na mweye bule, sekulu wake kadanganika, na kasigala yaidumwe muhala. One jojose dahamulawilila mwiinzila, niye namulala nili na uhenga, ivo mwizanikoma kwa lugano dondanipate.”
