2 Wābweja’ko amba: “Naivwana’mba mu Edipito mudi byakudya. Tūkilai’mo muketupotele’ko byakudya, amba twikale bōmi ne kufwa mpika.”+
3 Penepo banababo+ na Yosefa dikumi bātūkila mu Edipito kukapota byakudya.
4 Ino Yakoba kātuminepo Benjemani,+ mwanabo na Yosefa, pamo na banababo bakwabo, mwanda wānenene amba: “Wakafikilwa na kibi kileta lufu.”+
5 Penepo bana ba Isalela bāiya pamo na bakwabo bādi bāya kupota byakudya, mwanda kipupo kya nzala kyāsambakene mu ntanda ya Kenani.+
6 Yosefa wādi muntu mupebwe lupusa pa ntanda’ya,+ kadi aye ye wādi upoteja byakudya ku bantu bonso ba ntanda.+ Ponkapo banababo na Yosefa bāiya kebamufukatyila ne mapala abo pa nshi.+
7 Yosefa pa kumona banababo, ponkapo wēbajingulula, ino aye wēinanya kobadi.+ Webanena na bulobo amba: “Le mutamba kwepi?” nabo bālondolola’mba: “Tutamba ku ntanda ya Kenani, tubaiya kupota byakudya.”+
8 Penepo Yosefa wājingulula banababo, ino abo kumujingulula mpika.
9 Ponkapo Yosefa wāvuluka bilotwa byāebalotēle,+ kupwa wēbanena’mba: “Banwe mwi batubedibedi! Mubaiya kutala mitamba mizoze* ya yetu ntanda!”
10 Ebiya nabo bāmunena’mba: “Mhm, abe mfumwami, bengidi bobe i bāye kupota byakudya.
11 Batwe bonso twi bana ba muntu umo. Twi bantu boloke swā. Bengidi bobe ke batubedibedipo.”
12 Ino aye wēbatentulula’mba: “Ke nankyopo! Mubaiya kutala mitamba mizoze ya yetu ntanda!”
13 Nabo bāmutentulula’mba: “Bengidi bobe i bana 12.+ Twi bana ba muntu umo+ mu ntanda ya Kenani, mukala ushele na tata,+ ino mukwabo kakidi’kopo.”+
14 Inoko Yosefa wēbanena’mba: “I monka monemunenenanga—‘Banwe mwi batubedibedi!’
15 Nsa kwimutompa namino: Bine ne Felo mūmi, kemukatalukapo pano’pa enka ne bīya mukala wenu kuno.+
16 Tumai umo pomudi’po akasele mwanenu ino banwe mushale bakutwe. Penepa binenwa byomwanena’byo bikayukana shi i bya bine. Shi bitupu, bine ne Felo mūmi, mwi batubedibedi.”
17 Ebiya wēbakuta bonso mu kifungo mafuku asatu.
18 Yosefa wēbanena mu difuku dya busatu amba: “Longai namino mwikale bōmi, mwanda ntyinanga Leza.
19 Shi mwi boloke swā, nankyo mwanenu umo ashale mukutwe mu ino njibo ya kifungo yomukutyilwe’mo, ino banwe bakwabo mwende mupaye ne byakudya mwanda wa kukatyepeja nzala mu mobo enu.+
20 Mukanselele mukala wenu, amba binenwa byenu bikale bikulupilwa kadi kemukafupo.” Nabo bālongela monka.
21 Penepo kebenena abo bene na bene amba: “Na bubine tubapebwa mfuto pa mwanda wa mwanetu,+ mwanda twamwene tusua* twandi paādi wituzenza tumufwile lusa, ino batwe ketwamwivwenepo. O mwanda mwine tuno tusua tubetufikila.”
22 Ponkapo Lubeni wēbatentulula’mba: “Mwene nemusapwidile amba, ‘Kemwakipyai mwana mambo, ino banwe kwivwana mpika?+ Pano bine mashi andi kealandulwa.”+
23 Ino abo kebādipo bayukile amba Yosefa wivwene’byo, mwanda kudi wādi ushintulula pa bukata bwabo.
24 Ponkapo wēbavundamina kadila.+ Aye pa kujoka kaesambe nabo monka, wākwata’po Shimioni+ wāmukuta ku meso abo.+
25 Ebiya Yosefa wāsoñanya bebayujije byakudya mu mifuko* yabo ne kujokeja lupeto lwa muntu ne muntu mu mufuko wandi, bebape ne mpao ya mu lwendo. Bēbalongela’byo enka nabya.
26 Penepo bātwika bampunda babo byakudya bātaluka’po.
27 Pa kitūlo, umo pobādi’pa pa kukutulula mufuko wandi mwanda wa ape mpunda wandi bidibwa, wāmona lupeto lwandi ku milomo ya mufuko wandi.
28 Penepo wālombola banababo amba: “Abanjokejeja lupeto lwami, alu kelo mu wami mufuko!” Penepa mityima keibatu, bēvundamukila kebanena bazakala’mba: “Le kino kyetulonga Leza i kika?”
29 Pobāfikile kudi shabo Yakoba mu ntanda ya Kenani, bāmusapwila byonso byēbafikile, amba:
30 “Yewa muntu, mfumu wa ntanda’ya wadi wisamba netu bya bulobo+ kadi wadi witunena’mba twi bāye kubela ntanda.
31 Ino netu tubamulombola’mba, ‘Batwe twi bantu boloke swā. Ke twi batubedibedipo.+
32 Twi bana 12,+ bana ba tata wetu. Umo kakidi’kopo,+ mukala nandi ushele na tata mu ntanda ya Kenani.’+
33 Ino yewa muntu, mfumu wa ntanda’ya kaetunena’mba, ‘Kino e kyonkayukila’po amba mwi boloke swā: Nshilei mwanenu umo.+ Ebiya payai’ko bintu bimo mwanda wa kukatyepeja nzala mu mobo enu mwende.+
34 Mukanselele mukala wenu, penepa ndyuke amba ke mwi batubedibedipo ino mwi bantu boloke swā. Penepo nkemujokejeja mwanenu, nenu kemwendeleja busunga mu ino ntanda.’”
35 Pobādi basukumuna mifuko yabo, bāmona kafuko ka lupeto ka muntu ne muntu mu mufuko wandi. Abo ne shabo pa kumona tufuko twabo twa lupeto, bākwatwa moyo.
36 Shabo Yakoba wēbatompwela’mba: “I ami omwabudija bana!+ Yosefa kakidi’kopo,+ ne Shimioni nandi kakidi’kopo,+ kemusake musele ne Benjemani mwine! I ami wafikilwa na bino byonso’bi!”
37 Ino Lubeni wātentulula shandi amba: “Ubwanya kwipaya bami bana babidi shi nkikujokejeje’yepo.+ Umpe’ye amiwa, nkamulubula kodi.”+
38 Ino aye wānena’mba: “Wami mwana kakatūkapo nenu, mwanda mwanabo ke mufwe, aye ushele bunka.+ Shi afikilwe na kibi kileta lufu mu lwendo momwenda, nabya bine musa kutūkija mvwi yami mu Kibundu*+ na njia.”+
