² Reyubeni, na Simeyoni, na Lewi, na Yuda,

³ na Isakari, na Zebuloni, na Benyamini,

⁴ na Dani, na Nafutali, na Gadi, na Asheri.

⁵ Abantu bose bāndurutse mu rura rwa Yakobo bari mirongwirindwi, hakora Yosefu yar’ asanzwe ari muri Egiputa.

⁶ Nuko Yosefu arapfa, n’abo bavukana bose barapfa, bo n’ urunganwe rwose rw’ico gihe.

⁷ Abisirayeli bararondoka, baravyara cane, baragwira, baba igisata; buzura ico gihugu.

¹⁷ Arikw abo bākirizi bubaha Imana, ntibagira nk’uk’ umwami wa Egiputa yabageze, bareka n’ abana b’abahungu.

¹⁸ Maz’ umwami wa Egiputa ahamagaza abo bākirizi, arababaza, ati N’iki catumye mukora murtyo, mukareka abana b’abahungu?

¹⁹ Abākirizi bishura Farawo, bati N’ ukw abagore b’Abaheburayo batamera nk’ab’ Abanyegiputa, kuko banyarutsa, bakavyara umwākirizi atarabashikīra.
