1 Vavawo Nayusufu nkayoochelha wiikaya umihoolho wa attu onkhaye yaari vavawo ayo, nkayoomolhacha akhuwelhaka wiira, "Ukhumachiye vathe." Paahi Nayusufu vaari vekha aya aheehimiacha wa manyonnaya. 2 Nansho yaari onlhaka wo ukhuwelha mpaka anenchi o Umisri nkayeewa, mpaka ata Nafarao yaheewa yoyo mwaha uyo. 3 Nayusufu nkayeerelha manyonnaya wiira, "Mii Yusufu. Chani athumwanaka akumi nanlhelho?" Nansho manyonnaya ayo nkayaahalha anoomiye uwanoni, yoochelhaka nlhove no waakhulha. 4 Phi vavawo Nayusufu veerenlhe aya manyonnaya, "Nchushereke wono uri aka va." Vaachusheranche aya nkeerelhacha, "Mii, Yusufu, mwanhima inyu mwanthumihilhe inyu wa attu o Umisri ulhe. 5 Nansho vano nhikelhiye nipampa wala wiichukulhelha wo nlhatu no ukithumiha uwo. Nlhuku phi kiwiihilhe uno kuholhelheni, wiira kokholhe ukumi wa attu. 6 Ilha iyaakha yo nayelhi yo ikuruna velhaponi va, nansho bado iyaakha nthanu chikina, attu vahinowa aya wooria ulhima mena uruweria choolhia. 7 Nlhuku aakiwiihilhe uno wiira kiholhelhe, kookholhe ukumi inyu, wo iphiro yo ushangiha ilha, ikhalhe wiira, mwaattiva ni iyari chinyu nkhalhe akumi velhaponi. 8 Paahi etu, mwaatti kanhii nkiwiihilhe uno, nansho Nlhuku. Phi yoyo kipannge mii ukhalha ntu o waakavihera ntheko Nafarao, kikhalhe ntu o wemelhelha inupa aya yonkhaye ni utawara ilhapo yonkhaye yo Umisri.

9 "Paahi mwaakuviheke, nrweeke wa athumwanaka ni weerelha wiira, ‘Mwaamwaninyu Yusufu neera, Nlhuku hokipanga ukhalha nkavihi a amwene o ilhapo yo Umisri. Paahi, nhicherewe uwa uwannyaka. 10 Nnookhalha ilhapo yo Ugosheni, uhiri utayi ni mii. Inyuva mwaanene, achishaana inyu ni ashichulhu inyu, mihuwo chinyu ni nhakhu inyu wonkhaye. 11 Vanohalha inyu ukhalha Ugosheni vawo, mii kinoushungani inyuva, ashilhoko inyu onkhaye vamoka ni mihuwo chinyu nhiwe mwaakhwa ithalha, kwaani bado chihohalha iyaakha nthanu chikina cho ikuruna.’ " 12 Nayusufu amalhihekeru wulhumacha, nkayeera, "Mwaattiva nhoonechesha mwaashinene wo miitho inyu, ni ata nhima aka Benyamini, hoona mwanene wiira, phi mii Yusufu kinowulhumanani mwaatti. 13 Mwaahimiachereke athumwanaka mwaha wo ikuru irinaka Umisri uno, ni chittu chonkhaye chonne inyu mwaashinene. Paahi etu, mwaakuviheke, nrwe mwaawihe athumwanaka uno." 14 Yamalhekeru, Nayusufu yahonkumbatira Benyamini, nhima aya, nkayonlha, Benyamini ni uyo nkonlha, uno anakumbatiranne. 15 Tho, ahaakumbatiracha manyonnaya, uno yonlhaka. Baada yo vavawo nkoopana mwaha manyonnaya ayo.

16 Yoyo mwaha uyo vaaphilhe aya wa amwene wiira ashilhoko aya Nayusufu ahowaacha, wahaateelhiha Nafarao chinene, vamoka ni anamitheko aya. 17 Paahi etu Nafarao nkayeerelha Nayusufu, "Mwaahimerieke ashilhoko inyu ayo athatheke iphuta chaya chiyo misigo, ahokolhiache Ukanaani, 18 yaakushe athumwaninyu ni ashilhoko inyu onkhaye, awaache wono. Mii kinowaavaha ilhapo yoombone chinene yo ukhalha Umisri uno, vakittu vanohalha aya ukhalha wo upuha chittu chonkhaye cho mwiilhaponi mu. 19 Mwaahimerieke wiira awiacheke mikukuta cho upurulhiya ni ashinama, yaakusheke achishaana aya ashinkani ni manyaahanu aya, mena ahilhiyalhe waawiiha athumwanaya. 20 Ahilhohe chittu chinohalha aya uhiya wowo, ukhalhawaya ilhapo yoombone phi nowa ukhalha yawaya Umisri uno."

21 Paahi achishaana a Nayakhobo nkayaapanga thoko chenre aya wo ulheheriya. Nayusufu nkayaavahacha mikukuta thoko chaalheheriye aya ni Nafarao, ni yolhia aya yo ulhia munkwahani. 22 Ahaavahacha kila mmoka ikuwo chikina cho uwara munkwahani, nansho Benyamini ammanhe ikuwo nthanu cho uwara mphironi ni nchurukhu makhobilhi imia ttaru. 23 Tho, aharwehelha athumwanaya misigo cho izawadi yo chittu chorera cho Umisri, wo nlhatu wo nkwaha aya uyo. Izawadi chaakushihiye iphuta khumi, ni iphuta chithiyana khumi chaakushihiye choolhia, mikatte ni choolhia chikinachikina. 24 Paahi Nayusufu nkaalhehana ni manyonnaya. Vaathamacha aya ahaamukacha yeeraka, "Nhaanache indewo mphironi mmo!"

25 Paahi, nkayaathamacha Umisri ni uhokolhia uwani Ukanaani, wa athumwanaya. 26 Vaaphilhe aya, nkayaahimeria athumwanaya wiira, "Yusufu, nkumi! Yoyo phi vahiye ikuru yo utawara ilhapo yonkhaye yo Umisri!" Vavawo athumwanaya ahoomiya uwanoni, kwaani khayonrie urumelhelha malhove yaahimiacha aya yayo manyaattu ayo.

27 Nansho vaahimeriye aya mwaha wonkhaye ulheheriye aya ni Nayusufu, ni vonne aya mikukuta chaarwehelhiye aya wiira chaakushe chiyo, nrima aya wahokhalha mmapuroni, nkayaateelhiya wo upwaha chinene. 28 Nkayeera, "Vano nrima aka uhokhalha rata, wo ikekhiaye mwaamwanaka Yusufu, nkumi! Kinoorwa wowo, kamwoone kihinaya ukhwa."
