uYosefu uxelela abantakwabo ukuba ungubani kanye kanye
1uYosefu akabanga nakuzibamba phambi kwabo bonke ababemi ngakuye; wadanduluka esithi, Ndikhululeni nonke. Yaye kwakungekho bani umi ngakuye ekuzibonakalisa kukaYosefu kubantakwabo. 2Wakhala kakhulu; eva amaYiputa nendlu kaFaro. 3Wathi uYosefu kubazalwana bakhe, NdinguYosefu; Ubawo usaphila, abanakumphendula abazalwana bakhe; ngokuba bebesoyika ebusweni bakhe. 4Wathi uYosefu kubazalwana bakhe, Sondelani kum apha. Baye basondela. Wathi, NdinguYosefu, umninawa wenu, enamthengayo eYiputa. 5Musani ukuba buhlungu, ningaziqumbeli, ukuba nathengisa ngam apha; ngokuba uThixo wandithuma phambi kwenu ukuze ndisindise abantu. 6Kuloo minyaka mibini indlala yabakho ehlabathini, isemihlanu iminyaka ekungayi kubakho kuvuna kuyo nakuvuna. 7Yaye uThixo wandithuma phambi kwenu ukuze ndigcine inzala yakho ehlabathini ndize ndisindise umphefumlo wakho ngenkululeko enkulu. 8Ngoku ke asinini abandithume apha, nguThixo; Wandenza uyise kaFaro, nomphathi wendlu yakhe yonke, nomlawuli ezweni lonke laseYiputa. 9Khawuleza uye kubawo uze uthi kuye: ‘Kutsho uYosefu unyana wakho ukuthi, uThixo undenze umphathi weYiputa yonke; yihla uze kum, musa ukulibala. 10Uya kuhlala ezweni laseGoshen, ube kufuphi nam, wena, nabantwana bakho, nabantwana babantwana bakho, nempahla yakho emfutshane, neenkomo zakho, neento zonke onazo; 11Ndonondla khona; kuba kuya kubakho iminyaka emihlanu yendlala; ukuze ungasweli wena, nendlu yakho, neento zonke onazo. 12Yabonani, amehlo enu ayabona, noBhenjamin umninawa wam, ngamehlo enu, ukuba ngumlomo wam lo uthethayo kuni. 13Ze nimxelele uBawo ngalo lonke uzuko lwam eYiputa, neento zonke enizibonileyo; ukhawuleze uze notata apha. 14Waziphosa entanyeni kaBhenjamin, walila; uBhenjamin wakhala entanyeni yakhe. 15Ngaphezu koko, wabanga bonke abazalwana bakhe waza walilela phezu kwabo; emva koko abazalwana bakhe bathetha naye. 16Lavakala ilizwi elo endlwini kaFaro, kwathiwa, Bafika abakhuluwa bakaYosefu, uFaro nabakhonzi bakhe bavuya. 17Wathi uFaro kuYosefu, Yithi kubakhuluwa bakho, Enjenjalo; yalusa imfuyo yakho, uye ezweni lakwaKanan; 18Thabatha uyihlo nendlu yakho, uze kum apha. Ndokunika izinto ezilungileyo zelizwe laseYiputa, udle ukutyeba kwelizwe. 19Wena ke uwiselwe umthetho, yenze; bathabathe abantwana bakho, nabafazi bakho, ngeenqwelo zokulwa, nibase ezweni laseYiputa, nithwale uyihlo, nize. 20Kananjalo, musani ukuyinyamekela impahla yenu; kuba zonke izinto ezilungileyo zelizwe lonke laseYiputa zezenu. 21Benjenjalo ke oonyana bakaSirayeli. uYosefu wabanika iinqwelo ngokomthetho kaFaro, wabanika nomphako wendlela. 22Wabanika zonke iingubo ngeengubo; kodwa uBhenjamin wamnika amakhulu amathathu eeshekele zesilivere neengubo zangaphantsi ezintlanu. 23Wathumela enjenjalo kuyise; ishumi leemazi zamaesile, bethwele izinto ezilungileyo zaseYiputa, neshumi leemazi zamaesile zithwele ingqolowa, nesonka, nomphako kayise endleleni. 24Wathi kubazalwana bakhe, mabahambe; bemka ke; wathi kubo, Zilindeni, ningaweli endleleni. 25Benyuka bemka eYiputa, bafika ezweni lakwaKanan kuYakobi uyise. 26Wamxelela wathi, uYosefu usahleli; ewe, ungumphathi welizwe lonke laseYiputa. Yaphuka intliziyo kaYakobi, ngokuba engakholwa ngabo. 27Bawathetha kuye onke amazwi kaYosefu, abewathethile kubo; akubona iinqwelo awayezithumele uYosefu ukuba zimthabathe, waphila umoya kaYakobi uyise. 28Wathi uSirayeli, Kwanele; uYosefu unyana wam usahleli; ndiya kumbona ndingekafi.
