¹ Zvino nzara yakanga iri huru munyika iyoyo.

² Zvino vakati vapedza zviyo, zvavakanga vabva nazvo Ijipiti, baba vavo vakati kwavari, “Dzokai, endaizve mutitengere zvokudya zvishoma.”

³ Judha akataura navo, akati, “Murume uya akatinyevera kwazvo, akati, ‘Hamungatongooni chiso changu, kana mun'una wenyu asati anemi.’

⁴ Kana mukatuma mun'una wedu nesu, tichaburuka, kundotenga zvokudya;

⁵ asi kana musingamutumi, hatingaburuki; nokuti murume uya akati kwatiri, ‘Hamungaoni chiso changu, kana mun'una wenyu asati anemi.’ ”

⁶ Isiraeri akati, “Makandiitireiko zvakaipa zvakadai, zvamakaudza murume uya kuti munomun'una?”

⁷ Ivo vakati, “Murume uya akatibvunzisisa pamusoro pedu, napamusoro pehama dzedu, akati, ‘Baba venyu vapenyu here? Mune mun'una here?’ ” Tikamupindura namashoko aya; taigoziva here kuti achati, “Burukai nomun'una wenyu?”

⁸ Zvino Judha akati kuna Isiraeri, baba vake, “Tumai henyu mukomana neni, tisimuke, tiende, tirarame, tirege kufa, isu nemi, navana vedu.

⁹ Ini ndichava rubatso rwake; mungamureva paruoko rwangu; kana ndikasauya naye, ndikamuisa pamberi penyu, ini ndichava nemhosva kwamuri nokusingaperi.

¹⁰ Nokuti dai tisina kunonoka, zvirokwazvo, tingadai tadzoka zvino rwechipiri.”

¹¹ Ipapo Isiraeri, baba vavo, akati kwavari, “Kana zvakadaro, itai chinhu ichi; torai michero yakanaka yenyika mumidziyo yenyu, muburuke nechipo kumunhu uyo, chebhasami shomanana, nouchi ushomanana, nezvinonhuwira, nemura, nemichero yomuti wepisitakio, namaamanda;

¹² mutore mari yakapamhidzwa kaviri mumaoko enyu, neiya mari yakanga yadzoserwa mumiromo yehomwe dzenyu, muende makaibata mumaoko enyu; zvimwe vakakanganisa.

¹³ Nomun'una wenyu mumutorei, musimuke, mudzokere kumurume uyo;

¹⁴ Mwari waMasimbaose ngaakupei nyasha pamberi pomurume uyo, akusunungurirei mumwe mun'una wenyu naBhenjaminiwo. Kana ndatorerwa vana vangu, ndatorerwa hangu.”

¹⁵ Zvino varume vakatora chipo ichocho, vakabata mumaoko avo mari yakapamhidzwa kaviri, naBhenjamini, vakasimuka, vakaburukira Ijipiti, vakandomira pamberi paJosefa.

¹⁶ Zvino Josefa akati achiona Bhenjamini anavo, akati kumutariri weimba yake, “Uya navarume mumba, ubaye, ugadzire; nokuti varume ava vachadya neni masikati.”

¹⁷ Murume uyo akaita sezvaakaudzwa naJosefa; murume uyo akaisa varume avo mumba maJosefa.

¹⁸ Varume vakatya, zvavakaiswa mumba maJosefa, vakati, “Tinoiswamo nokuda kwemari yakadzoserwa muhomwe dzedu panguva yokutanga, kuti atsvake mhosva kwatiri, ativambe, nokutiita varanda vake, achitorawo mbongoro dzedu.”

¹⁹ Ipapo vakaswedera kumutariri weimba yaJosefa, vakataura naye pamusuo weimba;

²⁰ vakati, “Haiwa, ishe wedu, zvirokwazvo panguva yokutanga takaburuka kuzotenga zvokudya;

²¹ tikati tichisvika patakavata usiku, tikasunungura homwe dzedu, onei mari yomumwe nomumwe iri mumuromo wehomwe yake, mari yedu yose sezvayakayerwa; zvino tadzoka nayo pamaoko edu.

²² Zvino taburuka tiine imwe marizve mumaoko edu kuti titenge zvokudya nayo; hatizivi kuti mari yedu yakaiswa muhomwe dzedu nani?”

²³ Iye akati, “Farai henyu, musatya; Mwari wenyu, Mwari wababa venyu, akakupai pfuma muhomwe dzenyu; mari yenyu yakasvika kwandiri.” Akavabudisira Simeoni.

²⁴ Murume uyo akaisa varume avo muimba yaJosefa, akavapa mvura, vakashambidza tsoka dzavo, akapawo mbongoro dzavo zvokudya.

²⁵ Vakagadzira chipo kusvikira kuuya kwaJosefa masikati, nokuti vakanga vanzwa kuti vachadya zvokudya ipapo.

²⁶ Josefa akati asvika kumba, vakapinda mumba nechipo chakanga chiri mumaoko avo, vakakotamira pasi pamberi pake.

²⁷ Iye akavabvunza mufaro wavo, akati, “Baba venyu vakafara here, uya mutana wamaireva? Vachiri vapenyu here?”

²⁸ Ivo vakati, “Muranda wenyu, baba vedu, vakafara havo, vachiri vapenyu.” Vakakotama, vakanamata.

²⁹ Iye akasimudza meso ake, akaona Bhenjamini, mun'una wake, mwanakomana wamai vake, akati, “Ndiye here mun'una wenyu muduku worugotwe, wamakandiudza?” Akati, “Mwari ngaave nenyasha newe, mwana wangu.”

³⁰ Zvino Josefa akakurumidza, nokuti mwoyo wake wakachema mun'una wake, akatsvaka paangachema; akapinda muimba yake yomukati, akachemapo.

³¹ Akazoshambidza chiso chake, akabudazve, akazvidzora akati, “Pakurai zvokudya.”

³² Vakamupakurira iye oga, naivo voga, navaIjipiti havana kutenderwa kudya navaHebheru, nokuti zvinonyangadza kuna vaIjipiti.

³³ Vakagara pamberi pake, wedangwe paudangwe hwake, nomuduku kuna vose pauduku hwake; varume vakatarirana, vakashamiswa.

³⁴ Akavagovera zvokudya zvakanga zviri pamberi pake, asi mugove waBhenjamini wakaenzana nowavashanu vavo. Vakanwa, vakafara naye.
