Mbwenu nitukweshengyereza osaasire okushiisha kw'abairu ba Ruhanga wa sho. Yosefu ku baamugizire batyo, yaarira.18Na beene ishe nabo baija, baamugwa omu maisho; baagira bati: Reeba, hati twaba abairu baawe.19Yosefu yaabagira ati: Mutatiina; nimugira ngu ndi omu mwanya gwa Ruhanga?20Imwe enaama yaanyu ekaba eri ey'okunkora kubi, kwonka eya Ruhanga ekaba eri ey'okureeta ebirungi okukiza abantu baingi, ngu barekye kufa nk'oku kiri hati.21N'ahabw'ekyo hati mutatiina; niinyija kubaha eby'okubatunga n'abaana baanyu abato. Yaabahamiza, yaabagarura omutima omunda.22Bwanyima Yosefu yaatuura omuri Misri, we n'ab'eka ya ishe; yaahitsya emyaka igana na ikumi.23Yaareeba baijukuru ba Efuraimu aba kashatu; kandi n'abaana ba Makiri mwene Manaase bakamuzaarirwa aha maju.24Yosefu yaagambira beene ishe ati: Naaza kufa; kwonka buzimazima Ruhanga aryabataayaayira, abaihe omu nsi egi, abate omu nsi ei yaarahiire kuha Abrahamu na Isaaka na Yakobo.25Bwanyima Yosefu yaarahiza abaana ba Israeli, naagira ati: Buzimazima Ruhanga aryabataayaayira; naimwe muryaiha amagufa gangye omu nsi egi, mugagyendane.26Atyo Yosefu yaafa, ahikize emyaka igana na ikumi; baamwomya n'omubazi, baamuta omu shanduukye y'okuziikamu omuri Misri.Bible Society of Uganda
