Yosefu ni baganda be

1Yakobo yabanga mu nsi Kanaani, ise mwe yasenga. 2Bino n’ebifa ku maka ga Yakobo: Yosefu bweyali nga mwisuka wa myaka ikumi na musanvu, yaayayanga entaama ni baganda be, abaana ba Biliha ni Zilipa abaali baka lata we ab’embali. Yosefu yaaseeghanga eri ise ebibi bye baakolanga.

3Isiraeli yayendanga inho Yosefu okusinga abaana be abandi boonaboona; kuba oyo ni ye yazaala mu bukaire. Yaamutungira ekivaalo eky’endhawulo nga kya mikono mireeyi. 4Aye baganda ba Yosefu bwe baabona nga iseibwe amwenda okusinga beene bw’abenda, baamukyagha nga tibenda na kwogera naye bya bulungi.

5Agho Yosefu yaaloota ekirooto. Bwe yakikobera baganda be, beeyongera bweyongere okumukyagha. 6Yabakoba ati: “Muwulire ekirooto kino kye naloose: 7Twabaire tuli kusiba ebinhwa by’engaano mu nimiro, okuja okubona ng’ekinhwa ekyange kisituka nga kyesimba. Agho ebinhwa ebyaimwe byaidha byezungulula ekyange era byakikubira amakiryaivu.”

8Baganda be baamubuuza bati: “Olowooza oti iwe olifuuka kyabazinga waife, era waatufuga?” Kale beeyongera okumukyayira irala olw’ebirooto bye, n’olw’ebibono bye.

9Yosefu era yaaloota ekirooto ekindi, yaakikobera baganda be ati: “Naloose ekirooto ekindi, ng’endhuba, n’omwezi, n’emuunienie ikumi na ndala biri ku nkubira amakiryaivu.”

10Bwe yamala okukikobera baganda be, yaakoberaku ni ise. Aye ise yaamunenia ati: “Kirooto ki kino kye waloose? Mbo bwenebwene nze n’inhoko ni baganda bo tuliidha twakukubira amakiryaivu?” 11Baganda ba Yosefu baamugemerwa ensaalwa, aye ise yaasigala nga yeefumintiriza ku ebyo Yosefu bye yayogera.37:11, 28: Bik 7:9

Yosefu atundibwa era yaatwalibwa e Misiri

12Agho baganda ba Yosefu bwe baali bajiire e Shekemu okwaya ebyayo bya iseibwe, 13Isiraeli yaakoba Yosefu ati: “Baganda bo bali Shekemu, ye bali kwayira ebyayo. Kola nkutume ye bali.” Yosefu yairamu ati: “Ndi ghano ntuma.” 14Ise yaamukoba ati: “Ja mpegaano obone oba nga baganda bo bali bukalamu, era oba nga n’ebyayo biri bukalamu memale oire onkobere.” Kale yaamutuma okuva mu kiiko eky’e Heburoni. Yosefu yaaja yaatuuka e Shekemu. 15Ghaabaagho omusaadha eyamwagaana ng’ali kutambulira eyo atyo mu byayiro, yaamubuuza ati: “Oli kwagala ki?” 16Yosefu yairamu ati: “Ndi kwagala baganda bange. Nkweghembye nkoberaaku ye bali kwayira ebyayo.”

17Omusaadha yaamukoba ati: “Baamaze ira okuja, kuba nabawuliire nga bakoba bati bali kuja e Dothani.” Agho Yosefu yaanonereza baganda be, yaabaagaana e Dothani.

18Baamulengera ng’akaali ghalaku, era bweyali ng’akaali kubatuukaku beeteesa okumwita. 19Owundi yaakoba baine ati: “Bona omuloosi ow’ebirooto wuuyo ali kwidha. 20Mukole tumwite tumusuule mu kindi ku biina ebiri ghano. Tulikoba tuti ensolo ey’omu nsiko n’eyamulya memale tubone ebirooto bye bwe biriba.”

21Aye Reubeni bweyawulira ekyo, yaafuba okuwonia Yosefu, yaakoba ati: “Tulobe kumwita.” 22Era yaakoba ati: “Mutayugha musaayi. Mumusuule bwa mu kiina kino ekiri mu irungu, aye timumukolaku kabi.” Yayogera atyo ng’ayenda amuwonie, amubatooleku amwirize ise. 23Kale Yosefu bweyatuuka ku baganda be, baamutoolamu ekivaalo kye eky’endhawulo eky’emikono emireeyi, kye yali avaire. 24Baamutwala, baamusuula mu kiina ekikalu nga muzira maadhi.

25Agho baatyama baalya. Baaja okulinga bati, nga balengera ekikunsu ky’Abaishimaeli abasuubuzi abava mu Gileadi, nga bali n’engamiya edheetwise obusando obw’akawoowo era n’obuwoowo obundi obwetebwa balamu ni mirra, nga babitwala e Misiri. 26Agho Yuda yaakoba baganda be ati: “Tuganhulwamu ki ife okwita muganda waife ni tubuzaabuza okwitibwa kwe? 27Ka tumuguze Abaishimaeli abasuubuzi, ife tulobe kumukolaku kabi, kuba oyo muganda waife era musaayi gwaife.” Baganda be baaganha kye yakoba. 28Kale abasuubuzi bwe baali babitagho, baamughaluzaayo, baamutoola mu kiina, baamuguza abasuubuzi abo ebitundu amakumi abiri ebya feeza. Abasuubuzi abo baatwala Yosefu mu Misiri.

29Reubeni bweyairayo ku kiina n’ayagaana nga Yosefu aziramu, yaakanulamu ebivaalo bye olw’okunakughala. 30Yairayo eri baganda be, yaakoba ati: “Omwisuka azirayo. Kale nnaaja gha nze?”

31Agho baita embuzi, bainhika ekivaalo kya Yosefu mu musaayi gwayo. 32Baatwala ekivaalo ekyo eky’emikono emireeyi eri iseibwe, baakoba bati: “Twayagaine ekivaalo kino. Mpegaano bona oba nga n’ekyo eky’omwana wo, oba nga ti nikyo.”

33Yakobo yaakitegeera era yaakoba ati: “Kino n’ekivaalo ky’omwana wange. Ensolo ey’omu nsiko yamulya. Bwenebwene omwana wange Yosefu ensolo yamukankanula!” 34Yakobo yaakanulamu ebivaalo bye olw’okunakughala, yeesiba ekikaakaati, yaamala enaku kamaala ng’alira omwana we. 35Batabane ni baghala be boonaboona baidha okumugumya, aye yaaloba kubawulirisa. Yaakoba ati: “Ndiika e magombe eri omwana wange nga nkaalira.” Yeeyongera okulira amaziga olw’omwana we.

36Mu kiseera ekyo, abasuubuzi baali bamaze okutunda Yosefu mu Misiri, nga bamuguziiza Potifari omukungu wa kyabazinga w’e Misiri, era omukulu w’abaisirukale abaakuumanga ekisaagaati kya kyabazinga.
