11

Yakobo ku yaahuriire ngu omuri Misri hariyo eby'okurya, yaagira abatabani ati: Ahabw'enki nimureebana aha riisho? 22 Yaagira ati: Reeba, mpuriire ngu Misri hariyo eby'okurya; mwirooko muzeyo, mutushakire eby'okurya, bitutambire tutafa. 3Bakuru ba Yosefu ikumi baashuuma, baaza Misri kushaka; 4kwonka Benyamiini murumuna wa Yosefu, Yakobo tiyaamwohereza n'abakuru be; ahakuba akatiina ngu shana atakaaguubwaho akabi. 5Batabani ba Israeli baija n'abandi abaizire kushaka, ahakuba enjara ekaba eri nyingi omu nsi ya Kanaani. 63

Obwo Yosefu niwe yaabaire ari omutegyeki w'ensi egyo, kandi naashakisa ab'omuri egyo nsi boona eby'okurya. Bakuru ba Yosefu baija, baamugwa omu maisho, bainama. 7Yosefu ku yaareebire bakuru be, yaabamanya, kwonka yaayehindura nk'omunyaihanga aharibo, yaabakabukira, yaababuuza ati: Nimuruga hi? Banu bati: Nituruga omu nsi ya Kanaani, twizire kushaka. 8Yosefu yaamanya bakuru be, kwonka bo tibaamumanya. 94 Yosefu yaijuka ebirooto biri ebi yaabarootsireho; yaabagira ati: Muri entatsi; mwizire kureeba ahu ensi etaine maani. 10Baamugarukamu bati: Ngaaha, mukama waitu; abairu baawe tureetsirwe okushaka. 11Twena turi eishe-emwe; turi abantu b'amazima, abairu baawe tituri ntatsi. 12Yaabagira ati: Ngaaha; mwizire kureeba ahu ensi etaine maani. 135 Baamugarukamu bati: Abairu baawe turi eishe-emwe ikumi na babiri, abaana b'omushaija omwe omu nsi ya Kanaani; murumuna waitu omuto hati tariho, atsigaire na tataitwe, kandi ondiijo takibaho. 14Yosefu yaabagira ati: Ekyo nikyo naabagirira nti, muri entatsi. 15Mbwenu aha niho muraamanyirwe; nindahira Faraho, timurikwija kuruga aha, murumuna waanyu omuto atakaizire. 16Mutume omwe ahariimwe, areete murumuna waanyu, abandi mutsigare mubohirwe, ebigambo byanyu bibone kuhamibwa, tumanye ku muri ab'amazima; ku kiraabe kitabaire kityo, nindahira Faraho, buzima muri entatsi. 17Boona yaabata omu kihome okumara ebiro bishatu. 186 Aha kiro kya kashatu Yosefu yaabagira ati: Mukore muti, nimwija kukira; ahakuba nintiina Ruhanga. 19Ku muraabe muri ab'amazima, omwe ahariimwe atsigare omu nju y'ekihome ahu mubaire mukomeirwe; abandi mugyende mutware eby'okurya ahabw'enjara y'omu maka gaanyu; 20bwanyima mundeetere murumuna waanyu omuto; obwo ebigambo byanyu biryahamibwa, timurifa. Nabo baatwaza batyo. 217 Baagambirana bonka bati: Buzima twine orubanja ahabwa murumuna waitu; ahakuba tukareeba aine obusaasi omu mutima, obu yaatweshengyereza, tukanga kumuhurira; nikyo kyatureetera akabi aka. 228 Reubeeni yaabagarukamu naagira ati: Tindabagambiire nti: Mutakora kubi omwana, mukanga kumpurira? Mbwenu reeba, twazira eshagama ye. 23Kwonka tibaamanya ku Yosefu yaabahurira, ahabw'okuba akaba naagambirirwa omuhinduzi. 24Yosefu yaabateera amabega, yaarira; bwanyima yaagaruka ahu bari, yaagamba nabo, yaabaihamu Simeoni, yaamukomera omu maisho gaabo. 259

Okuruga aho Yosefu yaaragiira kwijuza enshaho zaabo eby'okurya, n'okugarura efeeza ya buri muntu omu nshaho ye, n'okubaha entanda y'okuriira omu muhanda; okwo nikwo baabakoreire. 26Banu baata eby'okurya byabo aha ndogoya zaabo, baagyenda. 27Ku baahikire omu icumbi, omwe aharibo yaakomorora enshaho ye okuriisa endogoya, yaashanga efeeza ye eri omu minwa yaayo; 28yaagambira bagyenzi be ati: Efeeza yangye baagingarurira; reeba ngigi omu nshaho yangye; baahuruutuka emitima, bahindukirana nibatetema, nibagira bati: Eki n'enki eki Ruhanga yaatukorera? 29Ku baahikire ahari Yakobo ishebo omu nsi ya Kanaani, baamugambira byona ebyababaireho, nibagira bati: 30Omushaija orikutegyeka egyo nsi akatukabukira, yaatweta abaizire kutata ensi; 31naitwe twamugira tuti: Turi ab'amazima, tituri ntatsi; 32turi eishe-emwe ikumi na babiri, abaana b'omushaija omwe; omwe takibaho, kandi na murumuna waitu omuto atsigaire n'omugurusi waitu omu nsi ya Kanaani. 33Omushaija ogwo orikutegyeka ensi yaatugira ati: Eki nikyo kirimmanyisa ku muri ab'amazima. Muntsigire omwe ahariimwe, mutware eby'okurya ahabw'enjara y'omu maka gaanyu, mugyende; 34mundeetere murumuna waanyu omuto; niho ndimanyira ku mutari ntatsi, kureka ku muri ab'amazima; reero naanye ndyabagarurira mugyenzi waanyu, mubone kushuubura omu nsi egi. 35Ku baabaire nibaiha eby'okurya omu nshaho zaabo, buri muntu yaashanga ekifunyika ky'efeeza kiri omu nshaho ye; bo na ishebo ku baareebire ebifunyika by'efeeza, baatiina. 3610 Ishebo Yakobo yaabagira ati: Mbwenu ho mwancwa; Yosefu takibaho, na Simeoni tariho; mbwenu nimwenda kuunyihaho na Benyamiini. Ebyo byona niinye biiziire! 37Reubeeni yaagira ishe ati: Ku ndiba ntamukugaruriire, oite batabani bangye bombi; munkwatse, ndyamukugarurira. 3811 Onu ati: Omwana wangye tarikwija kugyenda naimwe; ahabw'okuba mukuru we akafa, niwe atsigaireho wenka; akabi katakaamuhikaho, mukandeetera obujune bukampuhura, nkashuuma okuzimu nk'oku murikundeeba n'ezi nju.
