45 Awe Yosefe afililwe ukushishimisha pa menso ya bantu bonse abaiminine mupepi nankwe.+ E ico abilikishe ati: “Ebeni abantu bonse bafume pano!” Kabili tapali nangu umo uwaiminine nankwe ilyo Yosefe aisokolwele kuli bamunyina.+
2 Awe asanswile ishiwi pa kulila,+ ica kuti abena Egupti baumfwile umusowa wakwe na ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Farao balyumfwile. 3 Asukile Yosefe aeba bamunyina ati: “Nine Yosefe. Bushe tata acili uwa mweo?” Lelo bamunyina bafililwe ukumwasuka, pantu balisakamikwe pa kumumona.+ 4 E ico Yosefe atile kuli bamunyina: “Shi palameni kuli ine.” Na bo bapaleme kuli ena.
E lyo atile: “Nine Yosefe munyinenwe, uo mwashitishe ku Egupti.+ 5 Lelo nomba mwibipilwa+ kabili mwikalifiwa pa kunshitisha kuno; pantu ni ku kupususha imyeo e co Lesa antumiine ukuti imutangilile.+ 6 Pantu uno mwaka wa bubili uwa cipowe mwi sonde,+ kabili kucili imyaka isano iyo kushakabe ukulima no kulobolola.+ 7 E ico Lesa antumine ku kumutangilila ku kusungila aba kushala+ pe sonde no kumupususha ukupususha kukalamba ukuti mube aba mweo. 8 Kanshi te imwe mwantumine kuno,+ lelo ni Lesa wa cine, pa kuti ancite wishi+ kuli Farao kabili shikulu wa ba mu ng’anda yakwe yonse kabili kateka pa calo conse ica Egupti.
9 “Mwangufyanye ukuya kuli tata, kabili mumwebe ati, ‘Ifi e fyo umwana wenu Yosefe atile: “Lesa anenga ukuba shikulu pali Egupti+ onse. Iseni kuno. Mwikokola. 10 Na imwe mukekala mu calo ca Goshene,+ kabili mukabe mupepi na ine, imwe na bana benu na bana ba bana benu ne mikuni yenu ne ng’ombe shenu na fyonse ifyo mwakwata. 11 Kabili kulya e ko nkamupeela ifya kulya, pantu kucili imyaka isano iya cipowe;+ epali mwabulwa ifya kulya, imwe na ba mu ng’anda yenu na fyonse ifyo mwakwata fyaloba.”’12 Kabili moneni amenso yenu na menso ya kwa Benjamini munyinane yalemona ukuti akanwa kandi e kalesosa kuli imwe.+ 13 E co mukebe tata pa bucindami bwandi bonse mu Egupti na fyonse ifyo mumwene; kabili mukangufyanye ukuleta tata kuno.”
14 E lyo awile pa mukoshi wa kwa Benjamini munyina no kulila, na o Benjamini aliliile pa mukoshi wakwe.+ 15 Afyompele na bamunyina bonse no kulilila pali bena,+ na pa numa bamunyina balandile nankwe.
16 Awe aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Farao baumfwile ilyashi ili, ukuti: “Bamunyina Yosefe nabesa!” Kabili ici caliweme mu menso ya kwa Farao na ya babomfi bakwe.+ 17 Na o Farao atile kuli Yosefe: “Sosa kuli bamunonko, auti, ‘Citeni ici: Twikeni impunda shenu no kuya ku calo ca Kanaani,+ 18 kabili kasendeni shinwe na ba mu mayanda yenu no kwisa kuli ine, pa kuti nkamupeele ifisuma ifya mu calo ca Egupti; ukuti mukalye ifyanona ifya mu calo cino.+ 19 Nomba ndekweba+ nati ukabebe auti: “Citeni ifi: Ibuulileni amaceleta+ mu calo ca Egupti aya bana banono na bakashi benu, kabili mukasende tata no kwisa kuno.+ 20 Kabili amenso yenu yekaba na bulanda pa fipe fyenu,+ pantu ifisuma fyonse ifya mu calo ca Egupti fyenu.”’”+
21 Awe abana ba kwa Israele bacitile ifyo, kabili Yosefe abapeele amaceleta ukulingana ne cipope ca kwa Farao kabili abapeele ne fya kulya+ fya pa lwendo. 22 Cila muntu amupeele ica kufwala cimo,+ lelo Benjamini amupeele isha silfere imyanda itatu (300) ne fya kufwala fisano.+ 23 Kabili ifi e fyo atumiine wishi: impunda ikumi (10) ishasendele ifisuma ifya mu Egupti ne mpunda nkota ikumi (10) ishasendele ingano no mukate ne fya kulya fya kwa wishi ifya pa lwendo. 24 E fyo atumine bamunyina, na bo e fyo baile. Lelo, abebele ati: “Mwilaumana mu nshila.”+
25 Kabili baile ukufuma mu Egupti basukile bafika mu calo ca Kanaani kuli Yakobo shibo. 26 E lyo bamushimikile abati: “Yosefe acili uwa mweo, kabili e mukalamba pa calo conse ica Egupti!”+ Lelo umutima wakwe walitalele, pantu alifililwe ukubacetekela.+ 27 Ilyo bamwebele fyonse ifyo Yosefe abebele kabili ilyo amwene amaceleta ayo Yosefe atumine ku kumusenda, e lyo Yakobo shibo apuupuutwike.+ 28 E lyo Israele atile: “Nomba capwa! Yosefe umwana wandi acili uwa mweo! Mfwile ukuyamumona ilyo nshilafwa!”+
