OMURHONDERO XXXVII

1. Cikwone Yakobo abêra omu cihugo ishe abâga, omu cihugo ca Kanani.

Emyanzi ya Yozefu na bene wabo

2 Alaga emyanzi ya Yakobo: Yozefu ali akola agwerhe myaka ikumi na nda. Akazag’iyabula ebibuzi bo na bakulu bage b’omu mwa bak’ishe. Aciri murho, akàyabula boshi na bagala ba Bilaha, na bagala ba Zilafa. Yozefu abwira ishe emyanzi migalugalu bakazag’ibaderhera. 3  Israheli arhonyagya Yozefu kulusha abandi bana bage, bulya àli mwana  aburhiraga omu bushosi, amuhangîkiza akanzo k’amaboko maliri. 4 Bakulu bage erhi babona oku ishe amamurhonya kulusha abandi bagala boshi, bamushomba, barhacimuderhezagya bwinja.

5 Lero Yozefu alôrha ecilôrho, aciganirira bakulu bage, nabo bamushomba lero kulusha. 6 Ababwira obwo erhi: «Yumvagyi ecilôrho nalorhaga:  7 Nalôsire rhudwirhe rhwashana emîha y’engano omu mashwa, omwiha gwani gwanacizûka gwayimanga n’emîha yinyu yagorha ogwani yaguyunamira.» 8 Bakulu bage bamushuza, mpu: «Kwo kuderha oku olonzize oyîme ekarhi kirhu, obe mwami nirhu rhukushige, nisi erhi obe nnawirhu orhurhegeke!» Lero bamushomba okurhalusize erhi ebyo bilôrho n’eyo nshambôlo yage birhuma. 9 Ashub’ilôrha ecindi cilôrho, naco aciganirira bakulu bage. Ababwira, erhi: «Kandi nalôsire ntya: Izûba, omwezi na nyenyezi ikumi na nguma byakazag’ifukama embere zani.» 10 Eco cilôrho aciganirira ishe na bakulu bage. Cikwone ishe amukalihira amubwira, erhi: «Bici ebyo walôsire? Ka rhwanaciyishe niono na nyoko na 
bakulu bawe mpu rhwakufukamira?»  11. Bakulu bage bamubà mitula, cikwone ishe yehe abikirira ako kanwa omu murhima gwage.

Yozefu àguzibwa na bene wabo

12 Bakulu bage banaciyabulira amaso g’ebintu b’ishe e Sikemi. 13 Israheli anacibwira Yozefu, erhi: «Ka bakulu bawe arhaliyo bayabulire e Sikemi? Yisha nkurume emunda bali» Naye ashuza, erhi: «Ntumaga niono». 14 Ashub’imubwira, erhi: «Kanyagya olole kurhi bene winyu bayosire, n’ebintu, obul’igaluka ombwire emyanzi.» Anacimurhuma ntyo kurhenga omu kabanda ka Hebroni, naye ahika e Sikemi. 15 Muntu muguma amushanga aja ahabuka, omu bulambo, oyo amudôsa, erhi: «Cici waja walonza?». 16 Naye ashuza, erhi: «Najanalonza bakulu bâni, ombwire nani ngahi bayabulîre obuso bwabo.» 17 Olya mulume ashuza, erhi: «Barhaciri kuno, nayumvirhe baciderheza, mpu: «Rhuje e Dotani.» 18 Balangira aciri kuli, n’embere ababikeho, barhôla omuhigo gw’okumuyirha. 19 Babwirana bone na nene, mpu: «Lâba kalôsi ola wayisha!  20 Buno, muyishage rhumuyirhe rhunamukwebe omu iriba rhwankanabona, rhuyish’iderha mpu ensimba nkali yamulire. Rhwalolaga kurhi ebilôrho byage byayish’ibà.»  21 Rubeni ayumva ogwo mulâli, amuyôkola omu maboko gabo. Aderba erhi: «Nanga rhurhayirhaga omuntu». 22 Rubeni ashubiza, erhi: «Murhahiraga mukabulaga omuko! Mumukwebe erhi kwo mwalira iriba lirìlirì omu irungu, cikwone mumanye mwankamuhirakwo olûnu!» Kwàli kuderha mpu amulikûze omu maboko gabo abul’imugalula emw’ishe. 23 Erhi Yozefu acihika hali bakulu bage, bamuhogola akanzo kage; kalya kanzo akazag’iyambala k’amaboko maliri.  24 N’erhi babà bamamugwarha, bamukweba omu iriba. Eryola iriba lirhâlimwo cici, murhâli na mishi.

 25 Oku bundi babwarhala mpu bayikule; oku bayinamula amasu, balangira omuzinzi gw’Abaismaeliti barhengaga e Galadi. Engamiya zabo zâli zidwirhe ecizibwe, obukù n’amanukato, babihêkaga e Misiri. 26 Lero Yuda anacibwira bene wabo, erhi: «Bunguke buci rhwakûla omu kuyirha mwene wirhu n’okufulika omuko gwage. 27 Kanyi rhumugulize Abaismaeliti, rhurhamuhiragakwo olûnu, bulya amabà mwene wirhu wa muko muguma na nirhu.» Bene wabo banacìmuyumva. 28 Hanacigera abantu barhunzi b’e Mediani, barhenza Yozefu mulya iriba; bamuguza bihumbi makumi abirhi bya nfaranga, bamuguliza abo barhunzi baismaeliti, nabo bamuheeka e Misiri. 29 Rubeni, erhi ashubira ebwa iriba, abona oku Yozefu arhacirimwo. Abera emyambalo yage, 30 n’erhi ashubira aha balumuna ababwira, erhi: «Olya mwana arhaciri mulya! Nani ngahi nshubûkirage obu?»  31 Banacirhôla kalya kanzo ka Yozefu n’erhi babà bamaniga ecihebe, bavunvuza kalya kanzo omu muko. 32 Barhuma kalya kanzo k’amaboko malîri emw’ishe, bankahirakwo ebi binwa, mpu; «Lola ebi rhwarhozire. Lola erhi karhankanaba kalya kanzo ka mugala wawe aka.» 33 Yakobo alola aderba, erhi: «Kanzo ka mugala wani kano, eciryanyi camulire. Yozefu kulibwa anallîbirwe.» 34 Yakobo anacibera omwambalo gwage, akenyera sunzu aja omu mishibo y’omugala nsiku zirhalinyi. 35 Bagala bage na bâli bage boshi bakaz’iyisha bal’imurhûliriza, ci kwone arhalonzagya okurhûlirizibwa, aderba, erhi: «Nayorha ndi omu mishibo kuhika nyandagalire ekuzimu, emunda mugala wani ali.» 36 Balya ba Madiyaniti bamuhêka e Misiri, bamuguliza Putifari, nkonè ya Faraoni na murhambo w’abaganda bage.
