Ndichapa zvizvarwa zvako zvichauya nyika ino kuti ive yavo nokusingaperi.’
5“Zvino vanakomana vako vaviri vakaberekerwa muno muIjipiti ndisati ndauya kuno vava vana vangu. Vana vako ava Efuremu naManase, vava vana vangu chaivo zvakangoita Rubheni naSimeoni. 6Asi vawakazoberekerwa mushure mavo, ndivo vachava vana vako.

8Isiraeri paakaona vana vaJosefi vakomana akati, “Ko ava ndivananaaniko ava?” 9Josefi akati kuna baba vake, “Ava ndivo vana vangu vandakapiwawo naMwari muno umu.”
Iye akati, “Chiuya navo kuno ndivakomborere.” 10Meso aIsiraeri akange oonera madzerere asisaone zvakanaka nokuti akanga akwegura. Josefi akaswededza vana vake pana baba vake. Jakobho akavatsvoda achivafungatira. 11Jakobho akataurira Josefi achiti, “Handina kufunga kuti ndichazokuonazwe. Asi Mwari akandibatsira ndikatoonawo navana vako.” 12Josefi akazovabvisa pamakumbo ababa vake akabva apfugama akakotamisa musoro.
13Josefi akauya navana vake vari vaviri akati Efuremu kurudyi, Manase kuruboshwe. Akavaisa pana baba vake Isiraeri akati Efuremu kuruboshwe rwavo Manase kurudyi rwavo. 14Isiraeri akapesanisa maoko ake achiisa ruoko rwake rworudyi pamusoro waEfuremu aiva muduku, akaisa ruoko rwake rworuboshwe pamusoro waManase aiva dangwe. 15Jakobho akakomborera Josefi achiti,
“Mwari aiteverwa namadzibaba angu
Abhurahamu naIsaki,

kusvikira zuva ranhasi,
16iye mutumwa waMwari aindinunura
pose pandainge ndawirwa nenjodzi,
ngaakomborerewo vakomana ava.
Zita rangu namazita amadzibaba angu
Abhurahamu naIsaki
ngaarege kurova pavana ivava.
Mwari ngaavape vana vazhinji.”
17Josefi paakaona baba vake vaisa ruoko rwavo rworudyi pamusoro waEfuremu, hazvina kumufadza. Akabata ruoko rwababa vake achida kurubvisa pamusoro waEfuremu kuti aruise pamusoro waManase 18Josefi akati, “Handizvo baba, uyu ndiye dangwe. Dai maisa ruoko rwenyu rworudyi pamusoro wake.”
19Asi baba vake vakaramba vakati, “Ndinoziva zvandiri kuita mwanangu. Iye achazovawo dzinza guru ravanhu. Asi munun'una wake ndiye achava mukuru kupinda iye. Vana vaEfuremu vachava ndudzi zhinji dzavanhu.”
20Jakobho akavakomborera pamusi iwoyo achiti,
“VaIsiraeri vachakomborerana vachiti,
‘Mwari ngaakuitei saEfuremu naManase.’ ” Naizvozvo Jakobho akapa Efuremu ukuru hunopfuura hwaManase.
21Jakobho akarayira Josefi achiti, “Ini ndava kufa, asi Mwari achava nemi, achakudzoserai kunyika yemadzibaba enyu. 22Iwe ndinokupa mumwe mugove wandisingape vakoma nevanun'una vako. Ndinokupawo dunhu reShikemu randakatora pandakarwisa vaAmori nebakatwa rangu nouta hwangu.”
