1 Yuusufu khumwiinamela papaawe omaasho wawe khumpejari khusala alila. 2 Elottelanaka khuwooza anamajisa thiipa awe yoori anvaaze thiipa ya paalasamu papaawe yoori ahivutte; yo khuretta etthiipo. 3 Ottukuntteliwa thiipa Ezirayeele weeshiye siikhu arupayiini, nkhama etthiipo aazowereliyeezo Amisuri. Yo eeshiye siikhu saapiini ari mmatthaka.

4 Nawiisha matthaka apale, Yuusufu khuwooza attunkhulu apale aari wiikhalanaaye Firawuuna araka: “Kookholani moolu mwilawe mwamuuze Firawuuna yoori; 5 Paapa ahinafwe, aakilaphisiye yoori: ‘N'oofwa kilawe kanzikhe attaapho azikheweevo ajamaaze tuniya ya Kanaani.’ Safwatali mwikilikhe kilawe kanzikhe ottuukho nawiisha kintta ota.”

6 Firawuuna khunjipu araka: “Wiiya oolaphisiye etta wanzikhe papaawo.”

7 Aphano Yuusufu khulankha khusala alawa onzikha papaawe vamote na attunkhulu, akarumeya ooshi a Firawuuna na mamunu-munu ooshi a tuniya ya Misuri. 8 Aalawiye vamote na ajamaaze Yuusufu na attwiize, na ajaama ooshi a Yaakhumpa aasaliiyeeyo aari asimaana na pwittipwitthi na mompe. 9 Atthu aalawiye mmwikukutta akina vakhavalo, atthu aalawiyeeyo aari a waatta.

10 Afiiyeevo nti wa Ataati oriiye phantte ya malawa-njuwa ya muuttho Yorotaani, khwiikhala siikhu sapa Yuusufu ari mmatthaka wa papaawe eettaka olila. 11 Wakathi Akanaani apale aari wiikhalaaye ottuukhule awooniyeevo Amisuri apale eettaka olila nti wa Ataati yo khuri: “Olila opu anlilaaye Amisuri apa nwulweene.” Pi apho khutthaja nzina aphale vaya la Apeele-Misurayiila, eniiyaaye malawa-njuwa ya muuttho Yorotaani.

12 Aana a Yaakhumpa khuretta etthiipile aawooziyeezo ahinafwe. 13 Khunthuula khunlawana tuniya ya Kanaani khulawa khunzikha nlikurakuza la Makhipeela waattamana na Manre, nshapa nttintthile Eburahiima oozanyaniyeeyo Eforoni Nhiiti yoori asala awaazikhawo ajamaaze. 14 Nawiisha ozikha, Yuusufu khurutela Misuri vamote na attwiize na atthu ooshi apale aalawaniyeeyo ozikha.

15 N'oofwa papaaya, attwiize Yuusufu khuri: “Talili Yuusufu khana liphuta varoho vawe mwaasa wa vitthu epile nanretteliyeezo zootakhala, na-ye khanteela onirettela etthiipo?” 16 Attwiize khumperekheza nhupi Yuusufu yoori: “Papaawo ahinafwe aanirumiye 17 yoori niwuuze toono: ‘Safwatali, owaaswaamihi attwiizo khwa koosa na twampi epile ooretteliyeezo mwaasa woohuukholi saana.’ Apho nasaapi eti ninuuvekela yoori, oniswaamihi koosa zetthu, fweeyo niiyiye akarumeya a Nluku otu aari omwaaputwaaye papaawo.” Ye n'oosiila mattakhuzi apale khusala alila.

18 Aphano khuta attwiize khwiinama khukokhora anvekelaka nswammaha araka: “Nata n'aamwiitthwaana awo.”

19 Yuusufu khuwooza yoori: “Wala mwihikoove. Miiyo aki Nluku. 20 Khweele mweeyo mwaakiwazeliye shawuri zootakhala. Ila Nluku khuzukulisa khwiiya zooshapweya. Khwa toowo Nluku awoosuru atthu a waatta mpakha leelo eti. 21 Apho mwihoove. Miiyo kintta wuukholani mweeyo na aaneenu.” Khwa etthiipo Yuusufu khuwaanyamaza attwiize, mattakhuzi apale aawooziyeeyo aawaafiiye nroho mwaya.

22 Yuusufu aari wiikhala Misuri vamote na ajaama a papaawe, ye eekhaliye nyaakha miiya na khumi. 23 Khuwoona aana a Efwarayiimu peewu yattaatthu, theenya khuwaathuula aana a Makhiiri, mwaana wa Manaase, khuwaattha vamoolu vawe.

24 Yuusufu ahinafwe khuwooza attwiize yoori: “Apha miiyo kinttela ofwa, ila Nluku onteela owaawunini oolazenimo mmuti mphu oolawaneni tuniya etile aamwaahitiyeeyo alaphaka yoori onteela omwinkha Eburahiima, Esiyaakha na Yaakhumpa.” 25 Ye khuwaalaphisa aana a Ezirayeele araka: “Kiniwuuzani khweele, Nluku onteela owaawunini. Amana zirettikhana epo zaya, mwilawaka nti aya opo mwithuule makhonkolo aka.”

26 Yuusufu afwa arina nyaakha miiya na khumi. Khuvaaziwa thiipa ya paalasamu mwiili awe yoori ahivutte, khutthiiwa mwiiluza khuzikhiwa tuniya ya Misuri.
