Oonyana bakaYakobi abalishumi baya kuthenga ingqolowa eYiputa
1Wabona uYakobi ukuba kukho ingqolowa eYiputa, wathi uYakobi koonyana bakhe, Yini na ukuba nikhangelane? 2Wathi, Yabonani, ndivile ukuba kukho ingqolowa eYiputa; yihlani niye khona, nisithengele ingqolowa, siphile, singafi. 3Behla abakhuluwa bakaYosefu abalishumi, beya kuthenga ingqolowa eYiputa. 4Kodwa uBhenjamin, umninawa kaYosefu, uYakobi akamthumanga nabakhuluwa bakhe; kuba wathi, hleze ahlelwe yingozi. 5Oonyana bakaSirayeli beza kuthenga ingqolowa phakathi kwabo bezayo; kuba indlala ibikho ezweni lakwaKanan.
6UYosefu wayengumlawuli welizwe elo; yena wayethengisa ngengqolowa kubo bonke abantu belizwe elo; bafika ke abakhuluwa bakaYosefu, baqubuda kuye ngobuso emhlabeni. 7UYosefu wababona abakhuluwa bakhe, wabazi, wazenza ongabaziyo, wathetha nabo kalukhuni, wathi kubo, Nivela phi na? Bathi, Sivela ezweni lakwaKanan, size kuthenga ukudla.
8UYosefu wabazi abakhuluwa bakhe; ke bona abamnakananga. 9Wawakhumbula uYosefu amaphupha abewaphuphile ngabo, wathi kubo, Niziintlola nina; nizé kubona ubuzé belizwe eli. 10Bathi kuye, Hayi, nkosi; abakhonzi bakho baze kuthenga ukudla. 11Sonke siphela singoonyana bamfo mnye; siyalungisa, abakhonzi bakho àbazizo iintlola. 12Wathi kubo, Hayi, nizé kubona ubuzé belizwe eli. 13Bathi, Abakhonzi bakho balishumi elinababaini; siyazalana, singoonyana bamfo mnye ezweni lakwaKanan. Uyabona, omncinane ukubawo namhla, omnye akakho.
14Wathi uYosefu kubo, Yile nto bendiyithetha kuni, ndisithi, Niziintlola. 15Niya kucikidwa ngale ndawo: ehleli nje uFaro, anisayi kuphuma apha, ukuba akathanga eze apha umninawa wenu omncinane. 16Thumani omnye kuni apha, aphuthume umninawa wenu, nikhonkxwe nina; acikidwe amazwi enu ukuba ninenyaniso na; ukuba akubanga njalo, ehleli nje uFaro, inene noba niziintlola. 17Wabanikela bonke elugcinweni imihla yamithathu.
18UYosefu wathi kubo ngomhla wesithathu, Yenzani oku, niphile; kuba ndiyamoyika uThixo. 19Ukuba ninyanisile, omnye umzalwana kuni apha makakhonkxwe endlwini yokugcinwa kwenu, nihambe nina, niyise ingqolowa ngenxa yendlala yezindlu zenu. 20Umninawa wenu omncinane nimzise kum; okholeka ke amazwi enu, ningafi.
21Benjenjalo ke. Bathetha omnye komnye besithi, Inyaniso, sinetyala ngenxa yomninawa wethu, sabe sikubona nje ukubandezeleka komphefumlo wakhe, oko abetarhuzisa kuthi, asamphulaphula; kungenxa yoko le nto kusifikeleyo oku kubandezeleka. 22Wabaphendula uRubhen esithi, Ndabe ndingàtsho na kuni ukuthi, Musani ukumona umfana? Anaphulaphula; yabonani ke, igazi lakhe liyabizwa.
23Babengazi bona ukuba uYosefu uyeva, kuba kwakumi umkhumshi phakathi kwabo. 24Wathi guququ, walila; wabuya weza kubo, wathetha nabo, wamthabatha uSimon kubo, wamkhonkxa bekhangele. 25Wawisa umthetho uYosefu wokuba zizaliswe iingxowa zabo ngengqolowa, imali yabo ibuyiselwe kulowo nalowo engxoweni yakhe, banikwe nomphako wendlela; kwenjiwa njalo ke kubo.
26Bawabopha ingqolowa amaesile abo, bemka ke apho. 27Uthe ke omnye akuyivula ingxowa yakhe, ukuba aphe iesile lakhe iindiza apho balalisa khona, wayibona imali yakhe, isemlonyeni wengxowa yakhe. 28Wathi kubazalwana bakhe, Ibuyisiwe imali yam; nantsi ikho nokubakho engxoweni yam. Baphela amandla, bakhangelana begubha, bathi, Yintoni na le ayenzileyo uThixo kuthi?
29Bafika kuYakobi uyise ezweni lakwaKanan, bamxelela yonke into ebahleleyo, besithi, 30Indoda, inkosi yelo zwe, yathetha nathi kalukhuni, yathi siziintlola zelo zwe. 31Sathi kuyo, Sinyanisile; 32asizizo iintlola, singabazalwana abalishumi elinababini, oonyana bakabawo; omnye akakho, omncinane ukubawo namhla, ezweni lakwaKanan. 33Indoda leyo, inkosi yelo zwe, yathi kuthi, Ndiya kwazi ngale ndawo ukuba ninyanisile: shiyani abe mnye umzalwana wenu kum apha, niphathele izindlu zenu ukudla ngenxa yendlala, nihambe; 34nimzise umninawa wenu omncinane kum, ndize ndazi ukuba ninyanisile, anizizo iintlola; ndímnikele kuni umzalwana wenu, nirhwebe ezweni apha.
35Kwathi, bakukhuphela iingxowa zabo, babona isiqhuma semali salowo nalowo engxoweni yakhe; bakuzibona iziqhuma zabo zemali boyika, bona noyise. 36Wathi kubo uYakobi uyise, Nindihluthe abantwana; uYosefu akakho, uSimon akakho, niza kuthabatha noBhenjamin; zikhwéle kum zonke ezo zinto. 37Wathi uRubhen kuyise, Babulale bobabini oonyana bam, ukuba andithanga ndimzise kuwe; mnikele esandleni sam, ndombuyisela kuwe mna. 38Wathi yena, Unyana wam akasayi kuhla nani; ngokuba ufile umkhuluwa wakhe, yena usele yedwa. Ukuba úthe wahlelwa yingozi endleleni eniyihambayo, izimvi zam nozithobela kwelabafileyo ndinesingqala.
