2 Iya itthu saamwiiranenle Yakobe.

Okathi Yosefe+ aari awe mmiravo, orina ene iyaakha 17, aakukhula inama+ vamosa ni anamwane aaxilopwana a Biliha,+ ni anamwane aaxilopwana a Ziilipa,+ axaaraya apapawe. Yosefe aahaalela apapawe, itthu soohiloka axuulupale awe yaapaka aya. 3 Isarayeli aanimphenta vanceene Yosefe waavikana anamwane akina,+ okhala wiira aamuyanre uuluvanle ene. Nave-tho Isarayeli aahipaka nlaya nootepa oreera, onvaha Yosefe. 4 Okathi axuulupale awe yoonale aya wiira paapa aya aanimphenta Yosefe vanceene, waavikana anamwane akina ootheene, awo yaahipacerya omunyokha. Tivo, awo khiyaawerya omulavuliha saana.*

5 Yosefe aahiloha etthu, aaleela axuulupale awe.+ Nto awo yaanitepa omunyokha. 6 Yosefe aalenle wiira: “Xontte, mwiiwe etthu kilonhe aka. 7 Hiyo naatthuka mavisi a musoro eriyari ya ematta. Nto nivisi naka naaheemela, nrukureriwa ni mavisi anyu. Vano mavisi anyu yaahuurama ohoolo wa nivisi naka”.+ 8 Axuulupale awe yaahimwaakhula yiiraka: “Muniphavela wiipaka mwene wiira munlamuleleke?”+ Tivo, awo yaanitepa omunyokha mwaha wa etthu aalonhe awe ni aalavunle awe.

9 Okathi mukina aahiloha etthu ekina, aaleela axuulupale awe, iiraka: “Kooloha-tho etthu ekina. Ekwaha ela, nsuwa ni mweeri ni itheneeri 11, saahuurama ohoolo waka”.+ 10 Nuumala-vo, aahimuleela paapa awe ni axuulupale awe. Vano paapa awe aahimpwapwela, onamukoha wiira: “Etthu eyo mulonhe anyu, entaphulela exeeni? Muniphavela ohimya wiira miyo, ni amaminyu, ni axuulupale anyu ni muhima anyu, ninrowa owuuramelani mpakha vathi?” 11 Vano, axuulupale awe yaamutepa omukhalela nrima,+ masi apapawe yaanuupuwelela moolumo aahimmye awe.

12 Axuulupale awe yaahirowa olyiha inama sa paapa aya, waattamela oSikhemi.+ 13 Nuuvira okathi, Isarayeli aahimuleela Yosefe oriki: “Axuulupale anyu aronwe olyiha inama waattamela oSikhemi. Murowe mwaawehe”. Yosefe aahimwaakhula wiira: “Aayo paapa!” 14 Isarayeli aahimuleela Yosefe wiira: “Xontte, murowe mwasuwele ihaali sa axuulupale anyu, vamosa ni inama. Nuumala-vo murwe mukileele. Yosefe aahivenya nxepa* na oHebroni,+ onarowa oSikhemi. 15 Okathi mukina, mulopwana mmosa aahimphwanya Yosefe eettakasaka mmatta. Mulopwana owo aahimukoha wiira: “Munaavya-ni?” 16 Yosefe aahimwaakhula wiira: ‘Kiniwaavya axuulupale aka. Moosuwela opuro anilyiha aya inama?” 17 Mulopwana ole aahihimya-tho wiira: “Awo aakhumasa muttetthe ola. Koowiiwa ehimyaka wiira: ‘Nrowe oDotani’”. Nto Yosefe aahirowa owaavya axuulupale awe, aaphwanya oDotani.

18 Vano axuulupale awe yaahinweha orwaaka ottaiwene. Ohinatthi owaattamela, awo yaahipacerya ompaka palano wiira amwiive. 19 Awo yaahileelana wiira: “Mmooneke mulipa-ooloha ole onirwa vale.+ 20 Nrowe nimwiive, nimurihele mweehimeni. Nuumala-vo nnoohimyaka wiira ohiiviwa ni enama ya mutakhwani. Vano nnooweha vanrowa aya omalela itthu iye aaloha awe”. 21 Okathi Rubeni+ aamusuwenle awe palano aya, aaheererya omoopola muhima awe mmatatani mwaya. Nto aahihimya wiira: “Nihimwiive”.+ 22 Rubeni aahihimya-tho wiira: “Muhimwiive.+ Mmurihele ehime ela eri moothakoni, masi muhimwiirihe etthu yootakhala”.*+ Aahihimya siiso, ophavelaka omoopola mmatatani mwaya, wiira omuttikiherye wa paapa awe.

23 Nto Yosefe ophiyaka-ru vaari aya axuulupale awe, awo yaahimurula nlaya nawe, nenle nooreera aawanre awe.+ 24 Nto awo yaahinvara, amurihela mweehimeni. Okathi ole, ehime ele khiyaakhanle maasi.

25 Awo yaahikilaathi wiira alye. Vano yaahoona ekurupu ya anamarotta a nloko na Iximayeli,+ ekhumaka oXileyaadi, erowaka wExiitu. Ikamelo saya saahikuxa esenya ya mwiri oniihaniwa laadanu, ni baalsamu, ni nikula na mwiri.*+ 26 Tivo, Yuda aahaahimeerya axinnawe wiira: “Nimphwanya-ni namwiiva muhima ahu, nnakhuwa okhwa wawe?+ 27 Nrowe naatumiherye+ aiximayeli, masi nihimwiirihe etthu yootakhala. Ola munnihu, nrina ephome* emosa-ru”. Tivo awo yaahinwiriyana munnaya. 28 Okathi anamarotta aiximayeli, yaawo-tho yaari a oMidiyani,+ yaavira aya, axinnawe Yosefe yaahimukumiha mweehimeni, yaatumiherya anamarotta ale, musurukhu 20 wa eparatha, maluku ene.+ Alopwana ale yaahimukuxa Yosefe, amuroiha wExiitu.

29 Okathi Rubeni aatthikenle awe veehimeni, owo aahiweha wiira Yosefe khaakhanle mweehimeni-mme. Tivo aahikhera malaya awe. 30 Nuumala otthikela vaari axinnawe, Rubeni aahilavula otikinihiwe ene, iiraka: “Muhima ahu oolakaseya! Kinrowa opaka exeeni?”
