16Kila Yusufu abeelamwo ari, “Ni mutsye mureere bibyaayo byeenywe, siinga muba nga simuli ni tsinusu ta, ise kane imbawe biilyo.” 17Khukhwaamila abweene awo, babaandu baatsya baareera bibyaayo byaabwe isi Yusufu, naye waabawa biilyo, nga akulaanisamwo ni tsiŋwaaŋwa, kamasheese, tsimbusi, tsikhaafu, ni tsisikilya.

18Mu mwiiko kukweelakho babaandu beetsa luundi isi Yusufu, baamulomela bari, “Musakhulu, ifwe singene khwiibisabise khuri khuli buulayi ta! Tsinusu tsoosi tsaakhuweelekho, ari bona ni bibyaayo nabyo byoosi bili mu makhono koowo. Ari mbaawo sheesi khuramile nasho sheesi khunyala khwaakhwookesa ta, khuurusakho kimibili kyeefwe ni liiswa lyeefwe. 19Ukhakhulekha khwaahela nga waaloleleele busa uryo ta!

N’ukhuwe bumiitso, khunyalise khuuba baalamu, ni liiswa lyeene lilekhe khuba awo busa ta.”
20Aryo Yusufu waakula liiswa lyoosi lye mu Misiri khulwa Faraawo. Lwekhuuba babaandu be mu Misiri boosi, buli mutweela aakulisa liiswa lyeewe lwe intsala iyaba imbi naabi.

Isho nisho shishakila baalekha khukulisa liiswa lyaabwe ta.
23Lwanyuma Yusufu waalomela babaandu ari, “Ari mwaamanyile buulayi muri ise naabakulile inywe mwabeene, atweela ni liiswa lyeenywe khulwa Faraawo. Bona indikhuubawa bumiitso mutsye mubyaale mu mikuunda. 24Ne nga imbuka iye likyesa yoolile, muli ni khuureera shisiintsa shitweela she kharaano isi Faraawo. Inywe mwabeene mwiramisile bibiramile khuuba biilyo byeenywe ni be muungo mweenywe.”
25Nabo babaandu baamwiilamwo bari, “Iwe waawonesile buulamu bweefwe, waabeele umulayi isi khuli, nashiryo musakhulu, ifwe kane khube baakulwa ba Faraawo.” 26Aryo Yusufu waarusa likaambila khuutsya mu Misiri mwoosi, liliwaamba khu shisiintsa shitweela she kharaano she bibikyesebwa byoosi khuuba sha Faraawo.
