29N'oofiya wapapaaya Yaakhumpa tuniya ya Kanaani, khusala amuuza zooshi za waavireliyeezo araka:
30“Nttunkhulu wa Misuri eetta onituturucha anuuzaka yoori n'aahankawaani.
31Ila fweeyo khujipu yoori: ‘Khahi n'aahankawaani n'aatthu awaamineya.
32Niri khumi na awiri paapa mmote, mmote afwa, nkina aya w'eefutti asala onti na paapa tuniya ya Kanaani.’
33Aphano nttunkhulu wa nti aya opule khunuuza yoori: ‘Mwinlikhe ttwiiyenu mmote attaapha, toowo phi kinttelaavo ojuwa yoori mweeyo mw'aatthu awaamineya: mwithuule etthu-yoojiwa mwilawe mwawenkhe ajamaazenu ahifwe jala.

37Ruubeni khumuuza papaawe yoori: “Mwikinkhe miiyo khanaashikha kininrutisa, amana kihinrutisi mwiwoole aanaaka apale awiri.”
38Yaakhumpa khujipu araka: “Akinintakhisa Bejami olawa na-mweyo, Yuusufu afwa, ye ti asaliyeeyo. Amana empattha etthu yootakhala ntarikhi okho mwineettaawo, mwintta okishukhelisa aahera na pwi zaka kirina huzuni yoototheliwa ti mweyo.”
