1Indlala yaba nkulu kwelo zwe. 2Bayidla ingqolowa, ababeze nayo bevela eYiputa, wathi uyise kubo, Buyani niye kusithengela ukudla. 3Wathi uYuda kuye, Yasifunga loo ndoda, yathi, Aniyi kububona ubuso bam, engekho umninawa wenu. 4Ukuba uthe wamthuma umninawa wethu nathi, sohla siye kukuthengela ukudla. 5Ukuba akuthanga umthume, asiyi kuhla; ngokuba yathi kuthi loo ndoda, Aniyi kububona ubuso bam, engabangakho nani udade wenu. 6Wathi uSirayeli, Yini na ukuba undenze into embi kangaka, ukuba uyixelele indoda ukuba unomninawa? 7Ngoko bathi: “Le ndoda yasibuza ngenyameko nangemeko yethu neyentsapho yakowethu, isithi: “Usaphila na uyihlo? Wayenomnye umzalwana, saza samxelela ngokwaloo mazwi, sathi: “Ngaba siyazi na ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uya kuthi: “Mxhaseni umzalwana wenu? 8Wathi uYuda kuSirayeli uyise, Thabatha mna nenkwenkwe, sihambe sihambe; ukuze sidle ubomi, singafi, thina nani, nentsapho yethu. 9Ndiya kulindela kuye; mbuze esandleni sam; Ukuba andithanga ndimzise kuwe, ndimbeke phambi kwakho, ndoba netyala kude kube ngunaphakade. 10Kuba, ukuba besingathandabuzanga, ngesibuya okwesibini. 11Wathi uSirayeli uyise kubo, Ukuba kunjalo, makwenziwe ntoni na; Thabathani ezona zintle zelizwe ezityeni zenu, nise ezityeni zenu, nise emntwini lowo, intwana yamafutha aqholiweyo, nentwana yobusi, nentlaka emhlophe, nemore, neenati, neeamangile; 12Phayani ezandleni zenu imali ephindiweyo; naloo mali yabuyiswayo emlonyeni weengxowa zenu, yibekeni ezandleni zenu; mhlawumbi le ibiyimpazamo: 13Nomntakwenu, mthabathe, usuke, ubuyele kuloo ndoda. 14Ngamana uThixo uSomandla waniphatha ngemfesane phambi kwaloo ndoda, ukuba imgxothe omnye umzalwana wenu uBhenjamin. Xa abantwana bam bebiwa, ndiyakhuthuzwa. 15Amadoda lawo awuthabatha umnikelo, nemali ephindwe kabini esandleni sawo, noBhenjamin; Wemka, wehla waya eYiputa, wema ngakuYosefu. 16uYosefu wambona uBhenjamin enabo, wathi kumphathi wendlu yakhe, Wangenise la madoda endlwini, uwabulale, ulungise; kuba la madoda aya kudla nam emini enkulu. 17Indoda leyo yenza njengoko uYosefu wamwiselayo umthetho; indoda yawangenisa amadoda endlwini kaYosefu. 18Oyika loo madoda, ngokuba engeniswe endlwini kaYosefu; bathi, Ngenxa yemali ebibuyiselwe ezingxoweni zethu ngenxa engaphambili, siziswe; ukuze asifumane isizathu sokusiqwenga, asithabathe amakhoboka ethu namaesile ethu. 19Asondela kumgcini-ndlu kaYosefu, athetha kuye emnyango wendlu. 20Bathi ke bona, Nkosi, besize kuqala kuthenga ukudla. 21Sathi sakufika kwindlu yeendwendwe, savula iipokotho zethu, yaye sayibona imali yomntu ngamnye emlonyeni wengxowa yakhe, imali yethu ngokomlinganiselo wayo; saza sayibuyisela ezandleni zethu. 22Saphatha nemali ezandleni zethu, yokuthenga ukudla; asizukwazi ukuba imali yethu ifakwe ngubani ezipokothweni zethu. 23Wathi, Xolani, musani ukoyika; Bendinayo imali yakho. Wazisa uSimon kubo. 24Indoda leyo yawangenisa amadoda endlwini kaYosefu, yawanika amanzi, ahlamba iinyawo zawo; amahashe abo wawanika ukudla. 25Bamenzela isipho uYosefu owayefike emini; ngokuba evile ukuba baya kudla khona isonka. 26Kwathi, akungena uYosefu endlwini, awuzisa umnikelo ngesandla sawo endlwini, aziphosa phantsi phambi kwakhe. 27Wawabuza ukuphila kwawo, wathi, Usaphilile na uyihlo, ixhego enanithethe ngalo? Ngaba usaphila? 28Bathi, Usaphilile ubawo umkhonzi wakho, usadla ubomi; Baqubuda, baqubuda. 29Wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe, wambona uBhenjamin umninawa wakhe, unyana kanina, wathi, Nguye na lo umninawa wenu omncinane, enibe nithetha ngaye kum? Waza wathi: “uThixo makabe nenceba kuwe, nyana wam! 30uYosefu wakhawuleza; ngenxa yokuba isisu sakhe sasiswele umninawa wakhe, kwaye wayekhangela indawo apho angalila khona; Wangena egumbini lakhe, walila khona. 31Waza wahlamba ubuso bakhe, waphuma ezibambile, wathi, Bekani isonka. 32Baphekela yena yedwa, baba yedwa, namaYiputa abesidla naye odwa; kuba amaYiputa akanakudla sonka namaHebhere; kuba lisikizi kumaYiputa. 33Bahlala phantsi phambi kwakhe, owamazibulo ngokobuzibulo bakhe, omncinane ngokobuncinane bakhe; othuka amadoda. 34Wazithabatha, wazisusa kuye; ke ukutya kukaBhenjamin bekubhetele ngokuphindwe kahlanu kunabo bonke abanye. Basela kwaye bonwabile naye.
