UGenesisi 50
1 UJosefa wasewela phezu kobuso bukayise, wakhala inyembezi phezu kwakhe, wamanga.
Ama na mate ma, Yusuf holu nala e, de nggae ei-ei. Ana idꞌu ama na nasafafali.
2 UJosefa waselaya inceku zakhe abelaphi ukuthi baqhole uyise ngomuthi; labelaphi bamqhola uIsrayeli ngomuthi.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf parenda mana tao mataꞌ mamates ra tao modꞌo neu e, fo ao sisi na afiꞌ maꞌafoo.
3 Zagcwaliseka kuye insuku ezingamatshumi amane, ngoba ngokunjalo zazigcwaliseka insuku zabaqholwe ngomuthi. LamaGibhithe amlilela insuku ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
Basa boe ma, ara linuafi mamates a losa fai haa nulu, tungga sira hadat na. Basa atahori Masir ra o nggae Yakob mamate na losa fai hitu nulu. Onaꞌ sira atahori monaen na mate.
4 Kwathi sezidlulile insuku zokumkhalela, uJosefa wakhuluma lendlu kaFaro esithi: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni enu, ake likhulume endlebeni zikaFaro, lisithi:
Basa fai kahitu nulu na boe, Yusuf nafadꞌe pagau nara nae, “Rena! Mendi haraꞌ ia, mi mifadꞌe maneꞌ a maꞌo ia:
5 Ubaba wangifungisa esithi: Khangela, ngiyafa; engcwabeni engazigebhela lona elizweni leKhanani, lapho ungingcwabe. Khathesi-ke, ake ngenyuke ngiyengcwaba ubaba, besengibuya.
‘Ama ngga nae mate ma, ana noꞌe au uꞌoi e sia rae Kanaꞌan. Dadꞌi au oꞌe maneꞌ fee au uu uꞌoi ama ngga dei. Basaꞌ fo au baliꞌ ia uma.’”
6 UFaro wasesithi: Yenyuka uyengcwaba uyihlo njengokukufungisa kwakhe.
Maneꞌ a nataa nae, “Mete ma ho helu ama ma taꞌo naa ena, muu muꞌoi e sia naa leo.”
7 UJosefa wasesenyuka ukuyangcwaba uyise, kwenyuka kanye laye zonke izinceku zikaFaro, abadala bendlu yakhe, labo bonke abadala belizwe leGibhithe,
Boe ma Yusuf neu naꞌoi ama na. Atahori naeꞌ o tungga e boe. Maneꞌ a pagau nara, ma basa atahori monaeꞌ Masir ra.
8 lendlu yonke kaJosefa, labafowabo, lendlu kayise; kuphela abantwana babo abancinyane lezimvu zabo lenkomo zabo bakutshiya elizweni leGosheni.
Yusuf odꞌi-aꞌa nara, ro basa atahori mana tao ues nara o reu raꞌoi Yakob boe. Mana mahani sia Gosen, akaꞌ a sao nara ro anadikiꞌ ra ma banda nara.
9 Kwasekusenyuka kanye laye konke izinqola labagadi bamabhiza, kwaba liviyo elinzima kakhulu.
Soldꞌadꞌu naeꞌ o tungga boe. Ruma ro kareta, ma ruma sae ndara. Huu mana tungga ra, nae na seli, naa de nononggo mana tunggaꞌ laoꞌ ro mamates a narun seli.
10 Kwathi sebefike esizeni seAtadi, eliphetsheya kweJordani, balila khona, isililo esikhulu lesinzima kakhulu, bamenzela uyise isililo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
Basa se lao losa loe Yordan seriꞌ sia mamanaꞌ esa naran Atad. Atahori biasa poko are sia naa. Yusuf se nggae ei-ei ama na mamate na ma bebeꞌek tetembaꞌ hitu fai sia naa.
11 Kwathi abakhileyo belizwe, amaKhanani, bebona ukulila esizeni seAtadi, bathi: Lesi yisililo esinzima samaGibhithe. Ngakho basebesitha ibizo laso iAbeli-Mizirayimi, eliphetsheya kweJordani.
Atahori Kanaꞌan sia naa rita se susa onaꞌ naa ma, ara olaꞌ rae, “Wei! Mita dei. Atahori Masir ra beꞌe mamates nara no sususaꞌ seli o. Ara nggae mataꞌ naa.” Naa de ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa, Abel-Misraim. Sosoa na ‘atahori Masir sususa na’.
12 Amadodana akhe asemenzela njalo njengalokhu ewalayile;
Basa ma, Yakob ana nara tao tungga sira helu-fuli na.
13 ngoba amadodana akhe amthwalela elizweni leKhanani, amngcwaba obhalwini lwensimu yeMakaphela, uAbrahama aluthenga lensimu, lube yindawo yakhe yokungcwabela, kuEfroni umHethi, eqondane leMamre.
Ara rendi Yakob ao sisi na, de raꞌoi sia luat deka kambo Makpela no Mamre. Maꞌahulu na, Abraham hasa mamanaꞌ naa mia atahori Het, naran Efron, de tao dadꞌi mamana rates.
14 UJosefa wasebuyela eGibhithe, yena labafowabo labo bonke abenyuka laye ukuyangcwaba uyise, esemngcwabile uyise.
Yusuf naꞌoi basa ama na ma, no odꞌi-aꞌa nara baliꞌ Masir reu. Basa atahori mana tungga reu raꞌoiꞌ ra o baliꞌ boe.
15 Kwathi abafowabo bakaJosefa sebebonile ukuthi uyise usefile bathi: Mhlawumbe uJosefa uzasizonda, ngoqotho asiphindisele ububi bonke esabenza kuye.
Ara losa Masir boe ma, Yusuf aꞌa nara ramatau. Huu ama na nese ena, de ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Wei! Hei duꞌa dei! Mete ma Yusuf feꞌe mbedꞌaꞌ nasat no nggita, fo nae balas hita deꞌulakaꞌ na neu e, naa taꞌo bee?
16 Basebenika isilayezelo kuJosefa besithi: Uyihlo walaya engakafi, esithi:
Ara rala haraꞌ sa fo fee haraꞌ neu Yusuf rae: “Ama fetor. Hai feꞌe misinedꞌa leleꞌ hita ama na feꞌe masodꞌa na, ana denu hai
17 Lizakutsho kanje kuJosefa lithi: Ngiyakucela, akuxolele isiphambeko sabafowenu lesono sabo, ngoba bakwenzela okubi; khathesi-ke ake uxolele isiphambeko sezinceku zikaNkulunkulu kayihlo. UJosefa wasekhala inyembezi nxa bekhuluma kuye.
mifadꞌe amaꞌ mae, ‘Usu musi fee ambon neu aꞌa nara salan. Huu maꞌahulu na ara tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu e.’ Hai o misinedꞌa hita ama na namahere neu Lamatualain mia maꞌahulu na. Naa de, hai, fo Lamatualain ate nara, ima moꞌe ambon, huu basa hai tao salaꞌ neu amaꞌ ena.” Yusuf rena taꞌo naa ma, ana nggae.
18 Labafowabo labo beza, bawa phansi phambi kwakhe, bathi: Khangela, siyizinceku zakho.
Boe ma aꞌa nara rema mata nara ma sendeꞌ lululangga nara, de olaꞌ rae, “Amaꞌ, tao hai dadꞌi ate ma.”
19 Kodwa uJosefa wathi kibo: Lingesabi, ngoba kanti ngisendaweni kaNkulunkulu yini?
Yusuf nafadꞌe se nae, “Aꞌa nggare! Sudꞌi mimitau fai! Akaꞌ a Lamatualain ma hak fo huku-doki atahori. Te au ia, hokoꞌ.
20 Kodwa lina laceba okubi kimi, uNkulunkulu waceba ngokuhle, ukuze enze njengalamuhla, ukuze alondoloze abantu abanengi bephila.
Maꞌahulu na, memaꞌ hei mala haraꞌ fo tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu au. Te Lamatualain nggati hei dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulaka ma, dadꞌi maloleꞌ. Naa de, Ana soꞌu au dadꞌi atahori monaeꞌ, fo atahori naeꞌ hambu masodꞌaꞌ.
21 Khathesi-ke lingesabi; mina ngizalondla lina labantwanyana benu. Wasebaduduza, wakhuluma labo ngomusa.
Dadꞌi ia naa, au ufadꞌe nggi fo sudꞌi mimitau fai. Au helu dei fo au mete-seꞌu nggi, mo basa ana mara.” Yusuf oꞌola na naa, tao mangatetee aꞌa nara ralan.
22 UJosefa wasehlala eGibhithe, yena lendlu kayise. Njalo uJosefa waphila iminyaka elikhulu letshumi.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf leo nakandoo sia Masir no odꞌi-aꞌa nara. Ana nasodꞌa losa too natun esa sanahulu.
23 UJosefa wasebona abantwana bakaEfrayimi abesizukulwana sesithathu; labantwana bakaMakiri indodana kaManase bazalelwa emadolweni kaJosefa.
Ana feꞌe nita Efraim sufe nara. Ma ana o naꞌaboi Manase umbu nara, naeni Makir ana nara.
24 UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo: Ngiyafa, kodwa uNkulunkulu uzalihambela isibili, alenyuse kulelilizwe alise elizweni alifungela oAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe.
Yusuf nafadꞌe aꞌa nara nae, “Aꞌa nggare! Au duꞌa-duꞌa na, fai mamate ngga deka ena. Te au umuhere, Lamatualain naꞌaboi hei. Dei fo, Ana no nggi lao hela nusaꞌ ia, ma nalalao nggi baliꞌ misiꞌ nusaꞌ fo Ana helu-fuli fee baꞌi Abraham, baꞌi Isak no ama Yakob.”
25 UJosefa wafungisa amadodana kaIsrayeli esithi: UNkulunkulu uzalihambela isibili, njalo lizakwenyusa amathambo ami asuke lapha.
Boe ma Yusuf noꞌe odꞌi-aꞌa nara teꞌa nae, “Hei musi teꞌa neu au. Mete ma losa fai na Lamatualain no baliꞌ nggi misiꞌ nusaꞌ naa, naa hei o mo baliꞌ ao sisi ngga.”
26 UJosefa wasesifa, eleminyaka elikhulu letshumi; basebemqhola ngomuthi, wafakwa ebhokisini eGibhithe.
Yusuf too natun esa sanahulu ma, ana mate sia Masir. Boe ma ara tao modꞌo neu ao sisi na, de tao e kopa na rala neu.
