Ugqirha womisa isidumbu sikaSirayeli. 3Kwadlula iintsuku ezimashumi mane kuye; ngokuba yazaliseka imihla yokumiswa kwesidumbu; amlilela amaYiputa iintsuku ezimashumi asixhenxe. 4Kwathi, yakuzaliseka imihla yobumnyama bakhe, wathetha uYosefu kubantu bendlu kaFaro, esithi, Ukuba ndibonise inceba emehlweni enu, thethani esiva uFaro, nithi, 5Ubawo wandifungela, esithi, Yabona, ndiyafa; engcwabeni lam endizimbeleyo ezweni lakwaKanan, undingcwabele khona. Kaloku ke mandinyuke ndiye kungcwaba ubawo, ndibuye ndibuye. 6Wathi uFaro, Nyuka uye kumngcwaba uyihlo njengoko wafungayo. 7Wenyuka ke uYosefu waya kumngcwaba uyise; benyuka naye bonke abakhonzi bakaFaro, nezikhulu zendlu yakhe, nezikhulu zonke zelizwe laseYiputa. 8Yonke indlu kaYosefu, nabazalwana bakhe, nendlu kayise, yashiya abantwana bayo kuphela, nemfuyo yabo, nemfuyo yabo, ezweni laseGoshen. 9Wenyuka yena eneenqwelo zokulwa, nabamahashe, yaba yindimbane enkulu kakhulu. 10Bafika esandeni sika-Atadi, esiphesheya kweYordan, bakhala khona ngesikhalo esikhulu, esinzima kunene; wazilela uyise iintsuku ezisixhenxe. 11Abemi belo zwe, amaKanan, bakubona ukulila engcwabeni lika-Atadi, bathi, Eso sikhulu isililo samaYiputa; ke ngoko, eso sixeko sasibizwa ngokuba yiAbhele-mitserayim, ngaphesheya kweYordan. 12Benza ke oonyana bakhe njengoko wabawisela umthetho ngako. 13Bamthwala oonyana bakhe, bamsa ezweni lakwaKanan, bamngcwabela emqolombeni osentsimini yaseMakapela, awawuthengayo uAbraham ndawonye nelizwe, ukuba ube lingcwaba lakhe uEfron umHeti phambi kowakwaMamre. 14uYosefu wabuyela eYiputa ke, yena nabazalwana bakhe, nabo bonke abenyuka naye beya kumngcwaba uyise, ekungcwabeni kwakhe uyise. 15Ke kaloku abakhuluwa bakaYosefu babona ukuba uyise wabo ufile, bathi, Mhlawumbi uYosefu uya kusicaphukela, abubuyisele kanye na kuthi bonke ububi esimenzele bona. 16Bathumela umthunywa kuYosefu, besithi, Uyihlo wawisa umthetho engekafi, wathi, 17Nothi kuYosefu, Ubuxolele abazalwana bakho ubugwenxa babo nesono sabo; ngokuba bamonile; sixolele izono zabakhonzi boThixo wooyihlo. Walila uYosefu bakuthetha naye. 18Baya nabakhuluwa bakhe, baziphosa phantsi phambi kwakhe; bathi, Yabona, singabakhonzi bakho. 19Wathi uYosefu kubo, Musani ukoyika; 20Ke nina nikhumbula ububi ngam; kodwa uThixo wacinga ukwenza okulungileyo, njengoko kusenjalo namhla, ukuba kusinde abantu abaninzi. 21Musani ukoyika ngoku; ndonondla nina, nabantwana benu; Wabathuthuzela waza wathetha nabo ngobubele. 22uYosefu wahlala eYiputa, yena nendlu kayise; uYosefu wahlala iminyaka elikhulu elinashumi-nye. 23uYosefu wabona oonyana bakaEfrayim kwesesithathu isizukulwana; oonyana bakaMagire, unyana kaManase, babezalelwe emadolweni kaYosefu. 24Wathi uYosefu kubakhuluwa bakhe, Ndiza kufa; uThixo okunene uya kunigcina, anikhuphe kweli hlabathi, anise ezweni abelifungele uAbraham, noIsake, noYakobi. 25Wabafungisa uYosefu oonyana bakaSirayeli, esithi, uYehova woniva okunene, niwakhuphe ke amathambo am. 26Wafa ke uYosefu engominyaka ilikhulu linashumi-nye; bawumisa umzimba wakhe; wafakwa etyeyeni eYiputa.
