Wathi ke yena kuye, Ndilapha. 14Wathi kuye, Hamba uye kukhangela ukuphila kwabakhuluwa bakho nempahla emfutshane; ubuye undizisele ilizwi. Wamthuma ke, emsusa entilini yaseHebron, wafika kwaShekem. 15Wafunyanwa ngumfo, ebhadula emaphandleni; Indoda leyo yambuza yathi, Ufuna ntoni na? 16Wathi, Ndifuna abakhuluwa bam; ndixelele apho balusela khona imihlambi yabo. 17Wathi umfo, Bandulukile apha; kuba ndeva besithi, Masiye eDotan. uYosefu wabalandela abakhuluwa bakhe, wabafumana eDotan. 18Bakumbona ke esekude, engekasondeli kubo, babhunga ukumbulala. 19Bathetha omnye komnye besithi, Nanko umphuphi esiza. 20Yizani ke, simbulale, simphose komnye umhadi, sithi, Udé elinye irhamncwa, sibone ukuba aya kwenzeka ntoni na amaphupha akhe. 21Weva uRubhen, wamsindisa esandleni sabo; bathi, Masingambulali. 22Wathi uRubhen kubo, Ize ningaphalazi gazi; ukuze amhlangule esandleni sabo, ambuyisele kuyise. 23Akufika uYosefu kubakhuluwa bakhe, bamthabatha uYosefu ingubo yakhe yangaphezulu, ingubo ende enemikhono abeyimbethe; 24Bamthabatha ke, bamjulela equleni; 25Bahlala phantsi ukuze badle isonka, yaye baphakamisa amehlo abo, bakhangela, yaye, khangela! lifika iqela lamaIshmayeli livela eGiliyadi neenkamela zalo zithwele intlaka emhlophe, ibhalsam nemore, lisendleleni yokuzisa eYiputa. 26Wathi uYuda kubazalwana bakhe, Yongeza ntoni na, ukuba simbulele umninawa wethu, sifihle igazi lakhe? 27Yizani sithengise kuye ngamaIshmayeli, mazingachasana naye izandla zethu; ngokuba ngumzalwana wethu, nenyama yethu. Nabantakwabo banelisekile. 28Badlula abarhwebi bamaMidiyan; bamkhupha uYosefu emhadini, bamnyusa uYosefu, bathengisa ngaye kumaIshmayeli ngeeshekele ezimashumi mabini zesilivere; bamsa uYosefu eYiputa. 29Wabuyela emhadini uRubhen; nanko uYosefu engekho ngasequleni; wazikrazula iingubo zakhe. 30Wabuyela kubaninawa bakhe, wathi, Umfana akakho; Mna ke ndosuka ndiye phi na? 31Bayithabatha ingubo kaYosefu, baxhela itakane lebhokhwe, bayithi nkxu ingubo egazini; 32Bathumela ingubo ende enemikhono, bayizisa kuyise; bathi, Siyifumene; Yazi ngoku ukuba yingubo yonyana wakho, asiyiyo, kusini na. 33Wazi, wathi, Le ngubo yeyonyana wam; udliwe lirhamncwa; Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, uYosefu waqwengwa. 34uYakobi wazikrazula iingubo zakhe, wabopha ezirhwexayo esinqeni sakhe, wamlilela unyana wakhe imihla emininzi. 35Besuka besuka bonke oonyana bakhe nazo zonke iintombi zakhe, beza kumthuthuzela; akavuma ukuthuthuzeleka; Wathi: Ndiya kuhla ndiye kwelabafileyo, ndilile unyana wam. Ngoko uyise wamlilela. 36AmaMidiyan athengisa ngaye eYiputa kuPotifare, umthetheli-waka kaFaro, umthetheli wabasiki.
