50 Naʻe fakatōmapeʻe hifo leva ʻa Siosifa ʻi heʻene tamaí+ ʻo ne tangi ʻiate ia mo ʻuma kiate ia. 2 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Siosifa ki heʻene kau sevānití, ʻa ʻene kau ngāue fakafaitoʻó, ke nau fakatolonga+ ʻene tamaí. Ko ia naʻe fakatolonga ʻe he kau ngāue fakafaitoʻó ʻa ʻIsileli, 3 pea naʻa nau fakakakato ʻa e ʻaho ʻe 40 kiate ia, he ko e vahaʻa taimi kakato eni ki he fakatolongá, pea naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e tengihia ia ʻe he kau ʻIsipité ʻi he ʻaho ʻe 70.

4 ʻI he ʻosi ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono tengihia iá, naʻe lea ʻa Siosifa ki he lotoʻā* ʻo Feló, ʻo pehē: “Kapau kuo mou leleiʻia ʻiate au, fakahoko atu ʻa e pōpoakí ni kia Felo: 5 ‘Naʻe ʻai au ʻe heʻeku tamaí ke u fai ange ha fakapapau,+ ʻo pehē: “Ko eni! ʻOku ou mei mate.+ Te ke tanu au ʻi hoku feituʻu tanuʻangá,+ ʻa ia kuó u foa ʻi he fonua ko Kēnaní.”+ Kātaki muʻa kae tuku au ke u ʻalu hake ʻo tanu ʻa ʻeku tamaí, ʻi he hili iá te u toki foki mai.’” 6 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Felo: “ʻAlu ʻo tanu ʻa hoʻo tamaí ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e fakapapau naʻá ne ʻai koe ke ke fai angé.”+

7 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Siosifa ke tanu ʻa ʻene tamaí, pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻa e kotoa ʻo e kau sevāniti ʻa Feló, mo e kau mātuʻa+ ʻi hono lotoʻaá pea mo e kotoa ʻo e kau mātuʻa ʻo e fonua ko ʻIsipité 8 pea mo e kotoa ʻo e fale ʻo Siosifá mo hono fanga tokouá pea mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamaí.+ Ko ʻenau fānau īkí pē mo ʻenau fanga sipí mo ʻenau fanga pulú naʻa nau tuku ʻi he fonua ko Kōsení. 9 Naʻe ʻalu hake foki mo ia ʻa e ngaahi saliote+ mo e kau heka hoosi, pea naʻe tokolahi ʻaupito ʻa e kau fonongá. 10 Naʻa nau aʻu atu leva ki he ʻauʻauʻanga uite ʻo ʻAtatí, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he feituʻu ʻo Sioataní, pea naʻa nau hokohoko atu ai ha fuʻu tengihia lahi mo fakamamahi, pea naʻá ne tengihia ai pē ʻa ʻene tamaí ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu. 11 Ko e kakai ʻo e fonuá, ʻa e kau Kēnaní, naʻa nau sio kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau tengihia ʻi he ʻauʻauʻanga uite ʻo ʻAtatí, pea naʻa nau kalanga: “Ko ha fuʻu tengihia lahi eni ki he kau ʻIsipité!” Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻe ui ai ia ko ʻĒpeli-misilemí,* ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he feituʻu ʻo Sioataní.

12 Ko ia naʻe fai ʻe hono ngaahi fohá kiate ia ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e meʻa naʻá ne fakahinohino kiate kinautolú.+ 13 Naʻe fata ia ʻe hono ngaahi fohá ki he fonua ko Kēnaní pea tanu ia ʻi he ʻana ʻo e kelekele ko Makipilá, ʻa e kelekele naʻe ofi ki Māmili ʻa ia naʻe fakatau ʻe ʻĒpalahame meia ʻEfiloni ko e Hetí ke hoko ko ha konga ʻapi ki ha tanuʻanga.+ 14 ʻI he hili ʻene tanu ʻa ʻene tamaí, naʻe foki ʻa Siosifa ki ʻIsipite mo hono fanga tokouá pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa naʻe ō mo ia ke tanu ʻa ʻene tamaí.

15 ʻI he sio ʻa e fanga tokoua ʻo Siosifá kuo mate ʻenau tamaí, naʻa nau pehē: “ʻOku kei tukulotoa pē nai ʻe Siosifa ha tāufehiʻa kiate kitautolu pea te ne sāuni mai kiate kitautolu ʻa e kovi kotoa pē naʻa tau fai kiate iá.”+ 16 Ko ia naʻa nau ʻoatu ha pōpoaki kia Siosifa ʻi he ngaahi leá ni: “Naʻe ʻomai ʻe hoʻo tamaí ʻa e fekaú ni ki muʻa ke ne maté: 17 ‘Ko e meʻa eni te mou leaʻaki kia Siosifá: “ʻOku ou kōlenga atu, ke ke fakamolemoleʻi muʻa ʻa e laka hala ʻa ho fanga tokouá pea mo e angahala naʻa nau fai ʻi hono ʻomai ha kovi pehē kiate koé.”’ Ko eni ke ke fakamolemoleʻi ange muʻa ʻa e laka hala ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamaí.” Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Siosifa ʻi heʻenau lea ange kiate iá. 18 Pea naʻe haʻu foki hono fanga tokouá ʻo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia mo nau pehē: “Ko eni ko kimautolú ʻoku mau hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kiate koe!”+ 19 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosifa kiate kinautolu: “ʻOua ʻe ilifiá. ʻOku ou fetongi koā ʻe au ʻa e ʻOtuá? 20 Neongo naʻa mou taumuʻá ke fai ha kovi kiate au,+ naʻe fakataumuʻa ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ke iku ʻo lelei pea ke fakahaofi moʻui ai ha kakai tokolahi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻokú ne fai ʻi he ʻaho ní.+ 21 Ko eni ʻoua ʻe ilifia.

22 Pea naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e nofo ʻa Siosifa ʻi ʻIsipité, ʻa ia mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamaí, pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Siosifa ʻo feʻunga mo e taʻu ʻe 110. 23 Naʻe sio ʻa Siosifa ki he toʻutangata hono tolu ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIfalemí,+ pehē foki ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Mākili,+ ko e foha ʻo Manasé. Naʻe fanauʻi kinautolu ʻi he funga tui ʻo Siosifá.* 24 Faifai atu pē naʻe pehē ʻe Siosifa ki hono fanga tokouá: “Ko eni te u mate, ka ko e ʻOtuá te ne fakahanga moʻoni ʻene tokangá kiate kimoutolu,+ pea ko e moʻoni te ne ʻohake kimoutolu mei he fonuá ni ki he fonua ʻa ia naʻá ne fuakava fekauʻaki mo ia kia ʻĒpalahame, kia ʻAisake, pea kia Sēkopé.”+ 25 Ko ia naʻe ʻai ʻe Siosifa ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsilelí ke nau fai ha fakapapau ʻo ne pehē: “Ko e ʻOtuá te ne fakahanga moʻoni ʻene tokangá kiate kimoutolu. Kuo pau ke mou ʻave ʻa hoku ngaahi huí mei heni.”+ 26 Pea naʻe mate ʻa Siosifa ʻi hono taʻu 110, pea naʻa nau fakatolonga ia,+ pea naʻe tuku ia ʻi ha puha mate ʻi ʻIsipite.
