1Yakopi ahokhala ilapo yo Kanaa wonwo athumwane warwelyaya weettakaca.
2Ila phi yookhumelela ya nloko na Yakopi. Yusufu warinawe myakha khumi na saapa aahakhela inama na asunnawe. Anawaakavihera asaana a Pila na asaana a Silpa asaara athumwane ni anawaahimerya athumwane coonanara caapankaya asunnawe.
3Vano, Israel aananfenta venci Yusufu woopwaha asaana akina ayo kontha ayareele athumwane anooluvanle, phimaana yahonttotthihera ihancu yoorekama.
4Ni wacuwenlyaya asunnawe wiira phinfentiya venci na athumwane woopwaha mwana phi mwana, yahonramaca ni khayamulumana wo nnema.
5Vano aaholoha Yusufu nttora ni wahimenryawe asunnawe ale yahanca onrama wootepa.
6Ni aheerela: Nviriyane nttora olohilyaka:
7Natthukaca ihayi co tiriku omattani. Vano ihayi aka yahonwa ni weemela ni ihayi cinyu nnyo cahorukurerya ni wooromela ihayi aka.
8Ni asunnawe yahomwiirelaca: Vano, weva onoona wiira unaahala unilamula? Ni yahonrama tho woopwaha nlattu wo nttora ni itthu yahimilyawe.
9Wahoolo aaholoha tho nttora ni wahimerya asunnawe eeraka: Kiholoha tho nttora nkina. Ila ikwaha ila ncuwa, mweri ni itthoottwa khumi ni imoca cahokikhoromela.
10Wahimenryawe athumwane na asunnawe, athumwane ayo yahoncaceraca yiiraka: Nttorani yooyo olohilyaa uyo? Maanaya wiira mi, anumwana na asunnaa ninwoworomela weva mpaka vathi?
11Phimaana asunnawe othene Yanaanramaca. Nanso athumwane yeera yuupuwelaka itthu iyo.
12Asunnawe Yusufu yahorwaa uhakhela inama ca athumwanaya vakhiviru nuuSikeni,
13ni Isirayeli ahomwiirela Yusufu: Toko cincuwelaa asunnaa anhakela inama vakhiviru ni nuuSikeni. Kimphela wuruma urwee wonwo. Yusufu ahaakhula eeraka: Aye. Kiheewa.
14Athumwane yahomwiirela: Urwee wonwo woone unari ukhaliyaka ratta, ukhuma asunnaa ni inama ciyo ni ukiwiihere ihapari. Yakopi anrumile nari nikuwa no Heporoni, ni Yusufu ahophiya uSikeni.
15Vano nlopwana mmoca ahomphwanya akomankomacaka muthakoni ni ahonkoha eeraka: We, unaavyani?
16Yusufu ahaakhula: Kinaavya asunnaka. Nkihimerye nipuro ninhakhelaya inama nnyo.
17Nlopwana ule ahaakhula: Ayo ahokhumaca va. Mi kiheewa yiiracaka nrwee uTotaani. Vano Yusufu ahaatthara asunnawe. Ni ahaaphwanya anari vakhiviru ni uTotaani.
18Nanso ale yahomoonaca nttayi nttayi, ni hinaphiya Yusufu, yahovanela umwiiva.
19Ni yahohimeryana yiiraka: Hophiya nanttora uyo.
20Vano nrwee nimwiive nunrihela nluusi, ni neereke hokhuriya ni nsene noone vano cinhalaya wiira ittora cawe nnyo.
21Vano, wiiwa wawe Rupeni ahomananiha umwaakiha eeraka: Nihimwiive!
22Ni aheera tho: Nhivuvihe iphome. Munrihele nluusi iri muthakoni mu, yooyo uyo nhinvaravare. Rupeni olumacenre coommo aavyaka mananna omwaakiha ni wiira anturusele wathumwane.
23Uphiya wawe Yusufu, asunnawe yahonrulaca ihancu awe, yoorekama eyo,
24nunvaraca nunrihela nluusi moohimasi.
25Wookomacilyaya wiira alye yahoona nttayi nttayi mphwinko wa Annasumayili wakhuma uKiliyati. Ikamelo caya capakhinre ikaruma coonukhela, makhura o nrette ni makhura oonukhela caarwanaya Wiciipitu.
26Yutta aheerela asunnawe: Ninhala uphwanyani namwiivaka nhimeehu uyo, nimaalanaka ukhwa wawe nwo.
27Nrwee naathumihere Annasumayili. Nihinhasare ula nhimeehu iphula ni niitho. Ni asunnawe Yutta yahokupali.
28Wattamenryaya anamarontta Annasumayili o Mitiyani, asunnawe Yusufu yahonkumiha Yusufu nluusi ni yahathumihera Annasumayili ni ncurukhu siriini nunkusa Wiciipitu.
29Rupeni warwelyawe unweha nluusi mmo, khaamphwanyile. Woona wawe wiira Yusufu khaawo ahaahula coowara cawe,
30aturuwelaka waasunnawe ni aheera: Mmirawo uyo mmwe khaawo! Kinhala wiira cani?
31Vano yahomwiivaca napinkula nuruwyaa mphomeni ihancu ya Yusufu.
32Ni yahorwaca waathonyera athumwanaya yiiracaka: Nihottotta ihancu ila kahiki khinakhala ihancu ya mwaninyu Yusufu?
33Ni Yakopi ahoona wiira phi yeeyo ni aheera: Ila ihancu ila ya mwanaka! Nsene nihonhasara. Yusufu hokhuriya!
34Vano Yakopi ahaahula coowara cawe nuwara icakho ni ahomunlela mwanawe mahuku menci.
35Asaanawe othene, asilopwana na asithiyana yanawa ummaaliha, nanso aanakhotta umaalihiya nwo eeraka: Mena! Kinaahala wunla mpaka mmahiye nryawe mwanaka. Ni ahopwaherera umunlela.
36Yooyo ukati uyo uWiciipitu, Annamitiyani yahontumiha Yusufu waPutifari, nhooleli a mayoorontta inupa ya Farawoo, mwene o Wiciipitu.
