iGenesis 44
1Wamwisela umthetho umalusi wendlu yakhe, esithi, Zizaliseni iindawo zala madoda ngokudla, njengoko zinako ukukhongozela, niyibeke imali yalowo nalowo emlonyeni wengxowa yakhe. 2Yibeke indebe yam, indebe yesilivere, emlonyeni wengxowa yomncinane, nemali yengqolowa yakhe. Yaye wenza ngokwelizwi awayelithethile uYosefu. 3Kwathi, kwakuba imvula, amadoda lawo namaesile awo abuyiselwa endleleni yawo. 4Akuba ephumile esixekweni, uYosefu wathi kumthetheli-waka, Suk’ ume, uwalandele laa madoda; wakufika kubo uthi kubo: Yini na ukuba nibuyisele okulungileyo ngobubi? 5Le nto asiyile na inkosi yam iselayo, ikuprofetayo ngokwenyaniso? nenze ububi ngokwenjenjalo. 6Wafika kubo, wathetha kwaelaa lizwi kubo; 7Athi kuye, Yini na ukuba inkosi yam ithethe ngokwaloo mazwi? Ngamana uThixo angabavumeli abakhonzi bakho ukuba benze le nto: 8Uyabona, imali esayifumanayo ezingxoweni zethu, sayibuyisela kuwe, sivela ezweni lakwaKanan; Singathini na ukuba endlwini yenkosi yakho isilivere negolide? 9Osukuba efunyenwe phakathi kwabakhonzi bakho, makafe naye; nathi siya kuba ngamakhoboka enkosini yam. 10Kwaye wathi: Nangoku makube ngokwamazwi enu; uya kuba msulwa. 11Kwandula ke ngokukhawuleza, elowo wakhulula ingxowa yakhe phantsi, elowo wavula ingxowa yakhe. 12Wagquthagqutha, eqalela komkhulu, eshiya komncinane; yafunyanwa indebe engxoweni kaBhenjamin. 13Bazikrazula iingubo zabo, babopha elowo iesile lakhe, babuyela kuloo mzi. 14Wangena uYuda nabazalwana bakhe endlwini kaYosefu; ngokuba wayeselapho, zawa phambi kwakhe. 15Wathi uYosefu kubo, Nenzele ntoni na? Awuyazi ukuba indoda enjengam ingahlwayela? 16Wathi uYuda, Siya kuthini na enkosini yam? sothetha njani? sothini na ukuzihlambulula? uThixo ukubonile okungendawo kwabakhonzi bakho; yabona, singabakhonzi benkosi yam, thina nalowo ifunyenwe kuye indebe. 17Wathi, Ngamana uThixo angandivimba, ndenze loo nto. Ke osukuba ifunyenwe esandleni sakhe indebe, woba sisicaka sam; wena ke, nyuka uye kuyihlo ngoxolo. 18Wasondela uYuda kuye, wathi, Camagu, nkosi yam, makathethe ilizwi umkhonzi wakho ezindlebeni zenkosi yam, umsindo wakho mawungavuthi kumkhonzi wakho, ngokuba enjengoFaro. 19Yababuza inkosi yam abakhonzi bayo, isithi, Ninoyihlo na? 20Saza sathi kukumkani wam: Sinobawo wethu, ixhego, nomntwana obudala bakhe, omncinane; wabhubha umninawa wakhe, wasala yedwa nonina, uyise ebemthanda. 21Wathi ke wena kubakhonzi bakho, Mziseni kum, ndimbone. 22Sathi thina kukumkani wam, Unyana akanako ukumshiya uyise; kuba xa athe wamshiya, uyise uya kufa. 23Wathi wena kubakhonzi bakho, Ukuba umninawa wenu omncinane akathanga ehle nani, anisayi kubuya nibubone ubuso bam. 24Senyuka ke saya kumkhonzi wakho, ubawo, samxelela amazwi am. 25Wathi ubawo, Buyani niye kusithengela ukudla. 26Saza sathi, Asinakusuka; Ukuba umninawa wethu unathi, sohla; kuba asiyi kububona ubuso baloo ndoda, xa umninawa wethu engekho kuthi. 27Wathi uyihlo umkhonzi wakho, Niyazi nina, ukuba umkam wandizalela oonyana ababini nje. 28Omnye wandishiya, ndathi, Okunene, uqwengiwe; kwaye ixesha elide andizange ndimbone; 29Ukuba uthe wabususa kum, wamfikela ilishwa, izimvi zam nozihlisela kwelabafileyo ndinesingqala. 30Ukuba ndithe ndaya kubawo, umkhonzi wakho lo, akakho phakathi kwethu unyana; ebona ukuba ubomi bakhe bubotshelelwe kubomi benkwenkwe; 31Ukuba ithe yabona ukuba inkwenkwe ayikho kuthi, mayife; Abakhonzi bakho baya kuzihlisela izimvi zomkhonzi wakho, ubawo, ziye kwelabafileyo enentlungu. 32Ngokuba umkhonzi wakho lo wenza umnqophiso phakathi konyana noyise, ndathi, Ukuba andithanga ndimzise kuwe, ndobuthwala ubugwenxa bukabawo ngonaphakade. 33Ke ngoko makahlale umkhonzi wakho endaweni yenkwenkwe, umkhonzi wenkosi yam; yaza inkwenkwe yenyuka nabantakwabo. 34Kuba ndingathini na ukunyuka ndiye kubawo, kungekho nkwenkwe? ukuze ndingayiboni intlekele eyehlela ubawo.
