¹ Zvino Josefa haana kugona kuzvidzora pamberi pavose vakanga vamire naye, akadana, achiti, “Budisai vanhu vose vari pano neni.” Zvino kwakanga kusina munhu akamira naye Josefa achizvizivisa kuvana vababa vake.

² Akachema kwazvo, vaIjipiti naveimba yaFarao vakazvinzwawo.

³ Ipapo Josefa akati kuvana vababa vake, “Ndini Josefa! Baba vangu vachiri vapenyu Here?” Vana vababa vake vakasagona kumupindura, nokuti vakanga vachitya pamberi pake.

⁴ Josefa akati kuvana vababa vake, “Doswederai henyu kwandiri.” Zvino vakaswedera. Iye akati, “Ndini Josefa, mwana wababa venyu wamakatengesa ndikaiswa Ijipiti.

⁵ Zvino musazvidya mwoyo, kana kuzvitsamwira, zvamakanditengesera kuno; nokuti Mwari akandituma pamberi penyu, kuti ndichengete upenyu.

⁶ Nokuti zvino ava makore maviri enzara panyika ino; mamwe makore mashanu achiko, avasingazorimi nokukohwa nawo.

⁷ Mwari akandituma pamberi penyu kuti ndikuchengetei, muve navamwe vachasara panyika, ndikuraramisei kuti musunungurwe nokusunungurwa kukuru.

⁸ Zvino hamuzimi makandituma pano, asi Mwari; iye akandiita baba kuna Farao nashe weimba yake yose, nomubati wenyika yose yeIjipiti.

⁹ Kurumidzai, mukwire kuna baba vangu, mundoti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naJosefa, mwanakomana wenyu, Mwari akandiita ishe weIjipiti rose; burukirai kwandiri musanonoka;

¹⁰ mugare panyika yeGosheni, mugova pedyo neni, imi, navanakomana venyu, navana vavana venyu, namakwai enyu, nemombe dzenyu, nezvose zvamunazvo;

¹¹ ndichakuchengetaipo, nokuti mamwe makore mashanu enzara achiripo, kuti murege kuzova varombo, imi, naveimba yenyu, nezvose zvamunazvo.’

¹² Tarirai meso enyu anoona, nameso omun'una wangu Bhenjamini kuti muromo wangu unotaura kwamuri.

¹³ Mundoudza baba vangu kukudzwa kwangu kwose paIjipiti, nezvose zvamaona; mukurumidze kuburutsira baba vangu kuno.”

¹⁴ Akawira pamutsipa waBhenjamini, mun'una wake, akachema, naiye Bhenjamini akachema pamutsipa wake.

¹⁵ Akatsvoda vakoma vake vose, akachema pamusoro pavo; shure kwaizvozvo vakoma vake vakataura naye.

¹⁶ Zvino mukurumbira wazvo wakanzwika mumba maFarao, zvichinzi, “Vana vababa vaJosefa vasvika!” Farao navaranda vake vakafara naizvozvo.

¹⁷ Farao akati kuna Josefa, “Iti kuvana vababa vako, ‘Itai chinhu ichi: Takudzai zvipfuwo zvenyu, mufambe, muende kunyika yeKenani;

¹⁸ mundotora baba venyu navedzimba dzenyu muuye kwandiri; ndichakupai zvinhu zvakaisvonaka zvenyika yeIjipiti, mudye zvakakora zvenyika.’

¹⁹ Zvino varairwa, chiita izvozvo; torerai vana venyu vaduku navakadzi venyu ngoro panyika yeIjipiti, mundotora baba venyu, muuye.

²⁰ Musafunga nhumbi dzenyu, nokuti zvakaisvonaka zvenyika yose yeIjipiti ndezvenyu.”

²¹ Vanakomana vaIsiraeri vakaita saizvozvo. Josefa akavapa ngoro, sezvaakarairwa naFarao, akavapa mbuva yokufamba nayo.

²² Akapa vose, mumwe nomumwe nguo dzakanaka; asi Bhenjamini akamupa mashekeri ana mazana matatu esirivha nenguo dzakanaka shanu.

²³ Nababa vake akavatumira mbongoro dzine gumi, dzakanga dzakatakura zvinhu zvakaisvonaka zveIjipiti, namakadzi embongoro ane gumi akanga akatakura zviyo, nechingwa, nezvokudya zvababa vake zvorwendo.

²⁴ Zvino akatendera vana vababa vake kuenda, vakabva; akati kwavari, “Chenjerai, musatukana munzira.”

²⁵ Ipapo vakabva Ijipiti, vakakwira, vakandosvika kunyika yeKenani kuna Jakobho, baba vavo.

²⁶ Vakavaudza, vakati, “Josefa achiri mupenyu; ndiye mubati wenyika yose yeIjipiti.” Ipapo mwoyo wavo wakati rukutu, nokuti havana kutenda.

²⁷ Vakavaudza mashoko ose aJosefa; zvino vakati vaona ngoro dzakanga dzatumwa naJosefa kuzovatakura, mweya waJakobho, baba vavo, ukaponazve;

²⁸ Isiraeri akati, “Zvaringana! Josefa, mwanakomana wangu achiri mupenyu; ndichaenda ndimuone ndisati ndafa.”
