1 Yuusufu khulankha olawa omuuza Firawuuna yoori: “Paapa na attwiizaku ata ari nti wa Gosheeni, atana maphanko a nyama, mompe, pwittipwitthi na vitthu zaya zooshi ariinaazo.” 2 Khuwaathuula attwiize athaanu olawa owaajuwisa Firawuuna.

3 Aphano Firawuuna khuwoozela attwiize Yuusufu araka: “Mwinkhola khaazi-ni?” Yo khunjipu yoori: “Mbwaneetthu, fweeyo khaazi yetthu oshukisa nyama nkhama apapazetthu apa aviriyeeyo. 4 Fweeyo nateela wiikhala mmuti mphu siikhu vattitthiiru, mwaasa yoori tuniya ya Kanaani yeetta opuwawo jala ya waatta nyama zetthu khuhisala ziiyana etthu-yooja. Safwatali wa safwatali, mwinilikhe niikhale nti opu wa Gosheeni.”

5 Aphano Firawuuna khulupa yoori: “Papaawo na attwiizo ata wiiya vamote na-weyo. 6 Tuniya ya Misuri eri mmakhono mwawo. Apho, papaawo na attwiizo owenkhe Gosheeni ti yiiyiye phantte yooshapweya ya mmuti mphu, eekhale ottuukho. Na amana woona yoori vakatthi wa ajamaazo awaapho atthu ariina akhili, owenkhe ottunkhulu wa mompe zaka.”

7 Yuusufu khunthuula papaawe Yaakhumpa khulawa onjuwisa Firawuuna, Yaakhumpa khumparikhiya. 8 Firawuuna khumuuzela Yaakhumpa araka: “Mwina nyaakha mikavi?”

9 Yaakhumpa khunjipu araka: “Kinaaye nyaakha miiya na talaathiini, keettaka osaafiri kijeettettelaka. Nyaakha epi kivirisiyeeyo vattitthiiru na pi zootakhala, mpakha apha akinafiye nyaakha epile eekhaliyeezo amarehemu apapazaku.” 10 Aphano Yaakhumpa khumparikhiya Firawuuna, nawiisha khuruti.

11 Yuusufu khumwinkha meekhazi papaawe na attwiize phantte yooshapweya ya tuniya ya Misuri waattamana na nti wa Ramesesi, nkhama etthiipile Firawuuna aalupiyeezo. 12 Ye khumwinkha papaawe na attwiize na ajamaaze ooshi etthu-yooja, yowaafiyela wakhula ntthu na aanaawe.

13 Khuthowa etthu-yooja tuniya ya Misuri mpakha Kanaani yooshi. Atthu khusala akureya mwaasa wa jala waatta. 14 Aphano Yuusufu khukusanya nzurukhu wooshi, opule waari orumeeliwaaye Misuri na wa Kanaani opule waari wuuzanyeliwaaye tiriku, khulawa khupweha owawe Firawuuna. 15 Wakathi wiishiyeevo nzurukhu wa Kanaani na Misuri, khulankha Amisuri khulawa onvekhela Yuusufu araka: “Safwatali, oninkhe etthu-yooja nihifwe onoonaka mwaasa woohiina nzurukhu.”

16 Yuusufu khujipu araka: “Nkhama mweeyo khamwina nzurukhu, mwikitiisele nyama zenu nipatili na etthu-yooja.” 17 Amisuri khuthuula pwittipwitthi zaya, mompe, khavalo, na apuuru aya, khulawa khumwinkha Yuusufu, ye khuwenkha etthu-yooja aari weettelaaye oja mwaakha wooshi.

18 Mwaakha aya opule khwiisha, mwaakha nkina khurutelawo wa Yuusufu olawa omuuza yoori: “Mbwaneetthu khaninoona etthu yoovitha, nzurukhu etthu waniishela, nyama zetthu p'iipile niwinkhiyeenini. Khanisalaneeni hatha etthu, nasalana mwiili etthu na mashapa etthu paasi. 19 Ohinilikhe nifwaka na mashapa etthu apwecheyaka weettaka woona. Wuuzanye mashapa etthu na-fweyo aya, oninkhe etthu-yooja. Toowo niniiya amwiitthwaana za Firawuuna na mashapa eetthu anttela wiiya awe. Oninkhe peewu yoozala yoori nipatthe wiiyana meekhazi, nihifwe jala na nti etthu ohiiye yaara.”

20 Khwa nanna ethiito Yuusufu khuuzanya mashapa ooshi a Misuri khwiiya a Firawuuna. Amisuri ooshi aarina yawuuzanyisa mashapa aya mwaasa wa jala yeetta otepa yaattaka, nti wooshi khwiiya wa Firawuuna. 21 Yuusufu khuwaaretta omwiitthwaana atthu ooshi a phantte yooshi ya Misuri. 22 Ila mashapa a attunkhulu a tiini khoozanyiye mwaasa yoori yo aari winkhiwa etthu-yooja ti Firawuuna, ti etthu ahoozanyiseliyeeyo mashapa aya.

23 Aphano Yuusufu khuwooza atthu yoori: “Mwikisiileze! Kawuuzanyani mweeyo na miti zenu zooshi. Waaza leelo mweeyo na mashapa enu anttela wiiya a Firawuuna. Peewu eti mwilawe mwazale. 24 Wakhula etile mwinttelaaye oruwera mwisala mwithuula lifunku la thaanu mwimwinkha Firawuuna. Mafunku apa mane mwinsalanaaye mwisala mwija mweeyo na aaneenu na atthu apale mwiniikhalanaaye. Kinoko khupweha yoori mwirette peewu.”

25 Yo khujipu araka: “Weeyo mbwaneetthu wanuusuru, wanirettela vitthu zooshapweya, fweeyo nakhupali na rooho zetthu zooshi wiiya amwiitthwaana za Firawuuna.”

26 Yuusufu khulaleya kano moote eriivo mpakha leelo eti, yoori lifunku la thaanu la vitthu zooshi zinruweriwaazo tthi la Firawuuna. Mashapa apale paasi a attunkhulu a tiini khuhinkhiwi wiiya awe.

27 Meezirayeele khuthamela Misuri nti wa Gosheeni. Ottuukho khupatthawo meekhazi khuvokolelana khwaattelana.

28 Yaakhumpa eekhaliye tuniya ya Misuri nyaakha khumi na sapa, nyaakha eekhaliyeezo Yaakhumpa ohaayi awe wooshi zaari miiya na arupayiini na sapa. 29 Ooniyeevo yoori mansha awe asala vattitthiiru khunkhuwela mwanawe Yuusufu khumuuza yoori: “Nkhama onikipheta othuule nkhono awo otthe vathi wa liphaja laka, olaphe nkhama onteela oretta na pheta ya waamineya etile kuuvekeliyeeyo, yoori ohikizikhe tuniya ethiiti ya Misuri. 30 Amana kifwa okilazemo tuniya eti olawe wakizikhe nti opule azikhiweewo apapazaku, kilawe keeye vamote na-yo.”

Yuusufu khujipu araka: “Kinttela oretta etthiipo mwikirumiyeezo.”

31 Aphano Yaakhumpa khunkhanyerela yoori alaphe, Yuusufu khulapha, Yaakhumpa khwiinamela ovishwa w'oolili.
