Lisiku line Yosefe ŵayiche kwa babagwe ni kwasalila yindu yakusakala yiŵatendaga achalongo achimjakwewo. 3 Sambano Isalayeli ŵamnonyelaga mnope Yosefe kupunda ŵanache ŵakwe ŵane wosope ligongo lyakuti Yosefejo ŵapagwile Yakobo ali akalambele, mwamti jwalakwe ŵamtotele Yosefejo mkanjo wakusalala mnope. 4 Achalongo achimjakwewo paŵayiweni kuti baba ŵawo akumnonyela mnope jwalakwe kupunda ŵane wosopewo, jemanjaji ŵatandite kumŵenga mnope jwalakwejo, mwamti nganaŵechetanaga najo mwamtendele.
5 Kaneko Yosefe ŵasagamile mwamti ŵasalile achalongo achimjakwe ya sagamisisyo. Paŵapikene yeleyi, achalongo achimjakwewo ŵapatilesoni ligongo line lyakwatendekasya kuti amŵenjeje mnope. 6 Jwalakwe ŵasalile achalongo achimjakwe kuti, “Apikane sagamisi sisagamile une. 7 Jemanja wosope pampepe ni une twaliji pasikati pa mgunda ni kutaŵaga matita ga tiligu. Kaneko litita lyangu lyajimwiche ni kwima. Ni matita ga jemanja galisyungulile litita lyangulyo ni kulitindiŵalilaga.” 8 Pelepo achalongo achimjakwewo ŵamwusisye kuti, “Ana mmwejo mkuganisya kuti mpaka mŵe mwenye jwetu ni kutulamulilaga m’weji?” Myoyo jemanjajo ŵapatilesoni ligongo line lyakuti amŵenjeje jwalakwejo ligongo lya sagamisi syakwesyo soni ligongo lya yaŵasalileyo.
9 Panyuma pa yeleyi, jwalakwe ŵasagamilesoni sagamisi sine, mwamti ŵasalile achalongo achimjakwe ŵala kuti, “Une sagamilesoni kane. Ulendo awuno, naliweni lyuŵa soni mwesi nambosoni ndondwa syakwana 11 sili mkundindiŵalila une.” 10 Kaneko jwalakwe ŵasalile babagwe pampepe ni achalongo achimjakwe ya sagamisisyo. Nambope babagwewo ŵamjamwiche jwalakwejo kuti, “Ana mkuti sagamisi syenusi sikugopolela chichi kusyesyene? Ana yisyene kuti unejo soni mama ŵenu nambosoni achalongo achimjenuŵa tuchimtindiŵalila mmwejo mpaka ngope syetu pasi?” 11 Pelepo achalongo achimjakwewo ŵamtendele jelasi mnope nambo babagwewo ŵasunjile maloŵe gelega mumtima mwawo.
12 Sambano achalongo achimjakwe ŵala ŵapite kukulisya ngondolo sya baba ŵawo chiŵandika ku Sekemu. 13 Kaneko Isalayeli ŵamsalile Yosefe kuti, “Ana ngati achalongo achimjenu akulisya ngondolo ku Sekemu? Unetu ngusaka namtume mmwejo kwa jemanjajo.” Pelepo jwalakwe ŵajanjile kuti, “Ndili jwakoseka kwawula.” 14 Babagwewo ŵamsalile jwalakwejo kuti, “Chonde mjawule soni mkalole naga achalongo achimjenuwo ali chenene. Mkalolesoni mwasiŵelele ngondolo kaneko myiche ni kusalila.” Pelepo Yakobo ŵamtumile mwanachejo kutyochela ku chiŵata* cha Hebuloni mwamti jwalakwe ŵanyakwiche ni kwawulaga mbali ja ku Sekemu. 15 Kaneko, mundu jwine ŵamsimene Yosefe ali mkwendajenda mwitinji. Ni mundujo ŵamwusisye jwalakwe kuti, “Ana mkusosasosa chichi?” 16 Pelepo jwalakwe ŵajanjile kuti, “Ngwasosasosa achalongo achimjangu. Chonde asalile kwakulisya ngondolo jemanjaji.” 17 Mundujo ŵapitilisye kuŵecheta kuti, “Jemanjajotu atyosile akuno soni napikene ali mkuŵecheta kuti, ‘Kwende tujawule ku Dotani.’” Myoyo Yosefe ŵakuyisye achalongo achimjakwewo mwamti ŵasimene ali ku Dotani.
18 Sambano jemanjajo ŵam’weni jwalakwe ali mkwika chapakutalichila. Nambo jwalakwe mkanayiche paŵaliji achalongo achimjakwewo, jemanjajo ŵatandite kukambilana yakuti amwulaje jwalakwejo. 19 Myoyo jemanjajo ŵatandite kuŵechetana kuti, “Alole jwakusagamila jula ngati ni jwakwika apopojo. 20 Kwende tumwulaje kaneko tumponye m’chisima cha mesi. Ni tukasale kuti chinyama chakogoya chamwitinji chimtawine jwalakwejo. Tulole naga yasagamileje yila chitendekwe.” 21 Lubeni paŵapikene yeleyi, jwalinjile kutenda yakuti amkulupusye jwalakwejo. Myoyo jwaŵechete kuti, “Iyayi, tukamwulaga jwalakwe.” 22 Lubeni ŵasalile jemanjajo kuti, “Ngamkusosekwa kuwulaga mundu. Mgambe kumponya m’chisima cha mesi chachili m’chipululumu nambo mkamwulasya jwalakwe.” Chakulinga cha Lubeni chaliji chakuti amkulupusye jwalakwe ni kumwuchisya kwa babagwe.
23 Yosefe paŵayiche kuŵaliji achalongo achimjakwe kula, jemanjajo ŵamwusile jwalakwe mkanjo wakwe wakusalala waŵawete. 24 Kaneko jemanjajo ŵamjigele jwalakwejo ni kuja kumponya m’chisima cha mesi. Pandaŵi jeleji, chisimacho chaliji changali mesi.
25 Kaneko jemanjajo ŵatemi pasi ni kulyaga. Jemanjaji ali alolite, ŵajiweni gulu ja ŵamalonda ja Isimayeli jili mkwika kutyochela ku Giliyadi. Aisimayeliŵa ŵanyakwile pa ngamila syawo mauta gakununjila mnope ga labudanamu, ga basamu nambosoni makungwa ga yitela yautomoni. Jemanjaji ŵaliji paulendo wakwawula ku Iguputo. 26 Pelepo Yuda ŵasalile achalongo achijakwewo kuti, “Ana chitupate chichi naga tukumwulaga mlongo mjetuju ni kusisa chiwa chakwe? 27 Kwende tugambe kumsumisya kwa Aisimayeliŵa soni tukamtenda chilichose jwalakwe. Pajatu jweleju ali mlongo mjetu soni tutyochele liŵasa limo.” Myoyo jemanjajo ŵampikanile mlongo mjawojo. 28 Myoyo ŵamalonda ŵa ku Midiyani* paŵapitaga, achalongo achimjakwe ŵa Yosefe ŵala ŵamkopwesye jwalakwe mu chisima chila ni kumsumisya kwa Aisimayeliwo pamtengo wa mbiya sya Silifa syakwana 20. Ŵandu ŵeleŵa ŵamjigele Yosefe ni kwawulaga najo ku Iguputo.
29 Panyuma pakwe Lubeni ŵapite ku chisima kula ni ŵasimene kuti mu chisimamo mwaliji mwangali Yosefe jula. Pelepo jwalakwe ŵapapwile yakuwala yakwe. 30 Paŵayiche kuŵaliji achalongo achimjakwe kula, jwalakwe ŵagumisile kuti, “Mwanache jula apite basi! Sambano une chindende uli pelepa?”
31 Myoyo jemanjajo ŵajigele mkanjo wa Yosefe ula ni kuwulaga mbusi jelume ni ŵawuloŵeche mkanjo ula m’myasi ja mbusijo. 32 Kaneko jemanjajo ŵajawisye mkanjo ula kwa baba ŵawo ni kwasalila kuti, “Tupatile chakuwalachi kwitinjiku, ni achilole naga uli mkanjo wa mwanache jwawo.” 33 Babagwe paŵalolite chakuwalacho, ŵagumisile kuti, “Uli mkanjo wa mwanache jwangu. Komboleka kuti chinyama chakogoya chakwitinji chimtawine mwanangu Yosefe. Nikuti chinyamacho chimpachulenyepachulenye jwalakwe.” 34 Pelepo Yakobo ŵapapwile chakuwala chakwe soni ŵawete chiguduli m’chiwunu mwakwe mwamti ŵamlilile mwanache jwakwejo kwamasiku gejinji. 35 Ŵanache ŵakwe wosope ŵachalume soni ŵachakongwe ŵalinjile kumyalasya jwalakwe, nambo jwalakwe ŵakanaga soni ŵaliji mkuŵecheta kuti, “Unetu chinjiyikana kuwa ndili mkumlililape mwanache jwangu.” Babagwewo ŵapitilisye kumlilila jwalakwe.
