1 Yakopi Wacuwenlyawe wiira ihawo itiriku Wiciipitu, aheerela asaanawe: Isiyani umakelaka uwehanaca paahi? 2 Aheera tho: Kiheewa yiiriyaka ihaawo itiriku Wiciipitu. Nrwee wonwo mwanithumele itiriku wiira nipwaherere ukumi ni nihikhwe itala. 3 Toko coo, asunnawe khumi a Yusufu yahorwaaca Wiciipitu uthuma itiriku. 4 Yakopi khantthunihile Pencamii, nhimaawe Yusufu, wiira aatthukane ikwaha, kontha aanawoova unkhumelela itthu yoonanara. 5 Asaana a Isirayeli yaari na atthu akina yarwaca uthuma itiriku, nlattu wotala yavonnle uKanaa.

6 Yusufu aari nlamuli olapo yo Wiciipitu ni yooyo phaatumihera itiriku atthu othene. Phimaana uphiya waya asunnawe Yusufu yahomuramela mpaka uphiya vathi. 7 Woona wawe, Yusufu ahaacuwelela asunnawe, nanso aakhanle toko khaacuwenle ni ahoopopiha eeraka: Nyu nnokhumakhuma vayi? Yahaakhulaca: Ninkhuma ilapo yo Kanaa naawile uthuma yoolya. 8 Yusufu ahaacuwela asunnawe, nanso ayo khayancuwelacile. 9 Vano ahoopuwela ittora calohilyawe nari na asunnawe ni aheerela: Nyu nri mayoohottela!

Itthyaako eyo ihanle uwaani na athumwanaya ni nkina uyo hokhwa. 14 Yusufu ahaakulela eeraka: Phi vaava kihimilyaaka va. Nyu nri mayoohottela. 15 Nyu nnaahala ulawihiya. Kinalupela mwancina na Farawoo, nyu mu khannokhuma, mwahimmwaneke uno mwanhimenyu eetthyako uyo. 16 Munrume mmoca anrweele mwanhimenyu uyo vano akina vaa nhotthukiya. Commo phinhaleehu ucuwela wiira cinhimyenyu nnyo ciri citthu ceekhweeli atthuna cowoothiya. Cahikhaleke ceekhweeli, kinalupela mwancina na Farawoo wiira wanaahala ucuwanyaa wiira nyu khweeli nri atthu oohottela! 17 Ni ahaatthukela nkalapooso mahuku mararu.

18 Nihuku noneeraru Yusufu aheerelaca: Mi kinamoova Nluku. Mwapheela woopwaa, mpanke coo: 19 Mwakhala wiira nyu atthu omaana, munhiye munniinyu mmoca nkalapooso mu. Vano akina vaa nturuwaceke nuukusaka itiriku wiira mwalye uwaani. 20 Nkiwiihere vaa nhimeenyu eetthyako uyo wiira acuwannyee moolumo enyu yakhala wiira eekhweeli ni nyu phinhaleenyu uhikhwa. 21 Ayo yahotthuna upanka yahiminye eyo ni yaheerelana: Khweeli va ninattarusiya mwanlattu weetthu impankileehu nhimeehu uyo. Naammoonaka caacukula awe, ni waanisonttelelawe vaa, wiira ninhiye nkumi, nanso khanaantthunenle. Phimaana uniphwanyaka uno utapana uno. 22 Ruupeni ahaakhula: Akoohimenryeni wiira nhinhuvihe mmirawo uyo, nanso nyu khamwatthunne ukiiwa! Vano ninlamuliya waakhulela iphome awe eyo. 23 Nanso ale khayaacuwela wiira Yusufu naweewa, kontha oolumana ni ntthu aataphulela ni nuulumo naya. 24 Vaavale Yusufu ahothama ni wunla. Vano ahohokoleela tho ni ahoolumaca wiira atthukiye Simeyoni, othene amoonacaka.

25 Wahoolo Yusufu aholamula wiira icarihiye itiriku mmirupani mwaya mmo ni ituruseliye ipheeta yo khula ntthu munrupani mwawe, ni avahiye iphika coovira alyaaka. Ni commo wahopankiya. 26 Ale yahopakhira mirintti caya co tiriku mwa apuuru aya nuukhumaca. 27 Nipuro naamakilyaya nlattu wo wiileliya, mmoca uyo ahotthukula nrupa awe wiira ankumihe nankanka oonliha puuru awe, ni ahoona ipheeta umalakuni wonrupa awe. 28 Ni aheerela asunnawe: Kihoturuseliya ipheeta aka eyo.

Vano phinhalaka wuhokoloserani munninyu uyo ni wutthuniherani upanka marontta ila ilapo ela. 35 Weetthiyaaya mirintti nnyo, wo khula nrintti wahophwanyinya nhukho woocara ipheeta. Yakopi na asaanawe woonnyaya mihukho nnye, yahoovaca. 36 Ni Yakopi aheerelaca: Nyu nnakimalihera asaanaka ayo! Kihanle wohi Yusufu, nnavaa kiri wohi Simeyoni, ninlelo nna nnopheela unkusa Pencamii? Cothene cinkikhuma mi! 37 Vano Rupeni aheerela athumwane: Kahinturuwaneke Pencamii uyo, mweevakace asaanaka oyeeli khaweetthu. Nkihiyere Pencamii uyo, thi mi kinhala unwacawaca. 38 Nanso athumwane yahaakhula: Mwanaka uyo khannonkusa. Munnawe hokhwa. Uyo nna phihanle. Itthu phi itthu yoonanara inhala unkhumelela eyo munkwahani mmo, vano phinhalenyu uvitha ipwi caka nnyo mmahiye kinari ni icuku.
