² Reubeni, Simeoni, Levi, na Yuda, Isakara,

³ Zeburuni, na Benyamini;

⁴ Dani na Nafutali, Gadi na Asere.

⁵ Nabantu bona abarugire omu nda ya Yakobo bahika abantu ensanju; kandi Yusufu akaba asangirwe Misiri.

⁶ Kandi Yusufu akafa, nabagenzibe bona, nobuikukuru buli bwona.

⁷ Abana ba Isareri bakazara bakanya muno, baba baingi, baba bamani maingi, nensi bakagiijuramu.

⁸ Kandi hakalya omukama omuhyaka omu Misiri ataramanyire Yusufu.

⁹ Yagambira abantube ati Dora, abantu abana ba Isareri nibakira itwe

¹⁰ obwingi namani: omujje tubakole namagezi; baleke okukanya, kandi kirihika, obwemi obubuliija, baleke okuterana nabanyanzigwa baitu, okurwana naitwe, nokuimaka nokuruga omu nsi.

¹¹ Nikyo babaterireho abokubakoza okubonabonesa nemirimo yabu. Kandi bakombekera Faraho embuga ezokuhunikamu, Pisomu na Ramusesi.

¹² Baitu nkokubayeyongireho okubonabonesa, nukwo bo bayeyongire bati okukanya nokusaga. Kandi bakasalirwa habwabana na Isareri.

¹³ Kandi Abamisiri bakakoza abana ba Isareri emirimo namani:

¹⁴ nasaliza obwomezi bwabu okutalibana okwobuiru, nobudongo amatofali, nomulimo gwona ogwomu bwe’re omulimu gwabu gwona ogubabakoleze namani.

¹⁵ Omukama wa Misiri yagambira abasehenyi Abaheburaniya, ibara lyomu nuwe Sifira, nibara lyondi nuwe Puha:

¹⁶ yagamba ati Obumurakoraga abakazi Abaheburaniya emirimo eyokusehenya, nimubarora bali ha ntebe eyokuzaraho; omwana obwalibali omwojo, mumuite, baitu obwalibali omuisiki, aliba omwomezi.

¹⁷ Baitu abasehenyi bakatiina Ruhanga, kunu batakole nkomukama wa Misiri, okuyabaragire, baitu bakaleka abana abojo bomezi.

¹⁸ Omukama wa Misiri yayeta abasehenyi, bagabambira ati Kiki ekyabakoleze ekigambo kinu, okulekaga abana abojo bomezi?

¹⁹ Abasehenyi bagambira Faraho ngu Baitu abakazi Abaheburaniya tibali nkabakazi ba Misiri; baitu bomire, bamara okuzara omusehenyi atakazaire namberebali.

²⁰ Ruhanga yakora kurungi abasehenyi: abantu bakanya, bafoka bamani maingi.

²¹ Kandi kyahika, baitu abasehenyi bakatina Ruhanga, yabafora enju.

²² Faraho yater’ra abantube bona nagamba ati omwana omwojo wena alizarwa mulimunaga omu kyambu, nomuisiki wena mulimuleka mwomezi.
