Intangiriro
43 Inzara ikomeza kuba nyinshi cyane mu gihugu.+ 2 Nuko ibiribwa bari baravanye muri Egiputa bishize,+ papa wabo arababwira ati: “Nimusubireyo muduhahire ibyokurya.” 3 Yuda aramusubiza ati: “Uwo mugabo yaratwihanangirije rwose ati: ‘ntimuzongere kungera imbere mutari kumwe na murumuna wanyu.’+ 4 Niwemera ko tujyana na murumuna wacu, turagenda tuguhahire ibyokurya. 5 Ariko nutemera ko tujyana na we, ntituzajyayo kuko uwo mugabo yatubwiye ati: ‘ntimuzongere kungera imbere mutari kumwe na murumuna wanyu.’”+ 6 Nuko Isirayeli+ arababaza ati: “Ni iki cyatumye mungirira nabi bigeze aho, mukabwira uwo mugabo ko mufite undi muvandimwe?” 7 Na bo baramusubiza bati: “Uwo mugabo yatubajije ibyacu adaciye ku ruhande, atubaza n’ibya bene wacu ati: ‘ese papa wanyu aracyariho? Mufite undi muvandimwe?’ Natwe tumusubiza ibyo bibazo.+ Twari kubwirwa n’iki ko yari kutubwira ati: ‘muzazane murumuna wanyu hano?’”+
8 Amaherezo Yuda yinginga papa we Isirayeli ati: “Mpa uwo mwana tujyane+ kugira ngo dukomeze kubaho, tuticwa n’inzara+ twe nawe n’abana bacu.+ 9 Ni njye uzamwishingira.+ Nagira icyo aba uzabimbaze. Nintamukugarurira ngo mugushyikirize, nzaba nguhemukiye iteka ryose. 10 Kandi iyo tudatinda, ubu tuba tuvuyeyo kabiri.”
11 Isirayeli arababwira ati: “Niba ari uko bimeze, nimufate ibintu byiza byo muri iki gihugu mubishyire mu mifuka yanyu, muzabijyane mubihe uwo mugabo bibe impano.+ Muzajyane umuti uvura ibikomere,*+ ubuki, umubavu, ibishishwa by’ibiti bivamo umubavu,+ utubuto tw’igiti cyitwa botina n’uduti tw’umuluzi. 12 Nanone mwitwaze amafaranga akubye kabiri ayo mwari mwarajyanye kandi n’amafaranga mwagaruye mu mifuka yanyu muyasubizeyo.+ Wasanga harabayeho kwibeshya. 13 Ngaho mufate umuvandimwe wanyu mugende musubire kureba uwo mugabo. 14 Imana Ishoborabyose izatume uwo mugabo abagirira impuhwe, abasubize umuvandimwe wanyu yafunze kandi ntagire icyo atwara Benyamini. Ariko nibiba ngombwa ko abana banshiraho, bazanshireho nta kundi!”+
15 Nuko bafata izo mpano, bitwaza n’amafaranga akubye kabiri ayo bari barajyanye kandi bajyana na Benyamini. Hanyuma bajya muri Egiputa, barongera babonana na Yozefu.+ 16 Yozefu abonye Benyamini ari kumwe na bo, ahita abwira umugabo wagenzuraga ibyo mu rugo rwe ati: “Jyana aba bantu mu rugo, ubage amatungo maze uteke ibyokurya kuko bari busangire nanjye saa sita.” 17 Uwo mugabo ahita akora ibyo Yozefu amubwiye,+ abajyana kwa Yozefu. 18 Ariko babonye babajyanye kwa Yozefu bagira ubwoba, baravugana bati: “Ya mafaranga twasubiranyeyo bwa mbere mu mifuka yacu, ni yo atumye batuzana hano. Bagiye kudufata, batugire abagaragu, batware n’indogobe zacu.”+
19 Nuko begera wa mugabo wagenzuraga ibyo mu rugo rwa Yozefu, bavuganira ku muryango. 20 Baramubwira bati: “Reka tugire icyo tukubwira nyakubahwa, ubwa mbere twaje ino tuje guhaha.+ 21 Ariko tugeze aho twagombaga kurara, dufungura imifuka yacu maze buri wese asangamo amafaranga ye yose uko yakabaye.+ None rero, twifuzaga kuyasubiza. 22 Twazanye n’andi mafaranga yo kugura ibyokurya. Ntituzi rwose uwashyize ayo mafaranga mu mifuka yacu.”+ 23 Nuko aravuga ati: “Muhumure. Ntimugire ubwoba. Imana yanyu, ari na yo Mana ya papa wanyu, ni yo yabahaye ubwo butunzi mu mifuka yanyu. Amafaranga yanyu narayabonye.” Hanyuma asohora Simeyoni aramubazanira.+
24 Nuko uwo mugabo abinjiza mu nzu ya Yozefu abaha amazi ngo boge ibirenge kandi aha indogobe zabo ibyo zirya. 25 Bigiza hafi za mpano+ kugira ngo baze kuziha Yozefu atashye saa sita, kuko bari bumvise ko aho ngaho ari ho bari gufatira amafunguro.+ 26 Yozefu yinjiye mu nzu bamuzanira za mpano maze bapfukama imbere ye, bakoza imitwe hasi.+ 27 Hanyuma ababaza amakuru yabo kandi arababaza ati: “Amakuru ya papa wanyu, wa musaza mwavugaga? Ese aracyariho?”+ 28 Baramusubiza bati: “Nyakubahwa, papa ameze neza. Aracyariho.” Nuko bapfukama imbere ye, bakoza imitwe hasi.+
29 Hanyuma Yozefu abonye murumuna we Benyamini bavukana kuri mama,+ arababaza ati: “Uyu ni wa murumuna wanyu w’umuhererezi mwambwiraga?”+ Yongeraho ati: “Imana ikugirire neza mwana wa.” 30 Nuko Yozefu arihuta, ajya gushaka aho aririra kuko yari abonye murumuna we ibyishimo bikamurenga. Hanyuma ajya mu kindi cyumba ararira.+ 31 Arangije akaraba mu maso, arasohoka, arikomeza, aravuga ati: “Mushyire ibiryo ku meza.” 32 Bamushyirira ibye ukwe, abavandimwe be babaha ibyabo n’Abanyegiputa bari kumwe na we babashyirira ibyokurya byabo ukwabo. Abanyegiputa ntibajyaga basangira n’Abaheburayo kubera ko ibyo byari ibintu bibi cyane ku Banyegiputa.+
33 Abavandimwe be bari bicaye imbere ye, imfura yicara mu mwanya wayo hakurikijwe uburenganzira buhabwa umwana w’imfura,+ n’umuhererezi yicara mu mwanya we kuko ari we muto. Nuko bakomeza kurebana batangaye. 34 Akomeza kubongera ibyokurya abikuye imbere ye ariko Benyamini akamuha ibikubye gatanu iby’abandi bose.+ Nuko bakomeza kurya no kunywa kugeza aho bahagiye.
