42 ¹Pamene Yakobo anaona kuti ku Iguputo kunali tirigu, anati kwa ana ake, “Chifukwa chiyani mukuyang'anana?” ²Nati, “Taonani, ndamva kuti ku Iguputo kuli tirigu. Tsikani kumeneko mukatigulire, kuti tikhale ndi moyo, tisafe.” ³Choncho abale a Yosefe khumi anatsikira ku Iguputo kukagula tirigu. ⁴Koma Yakobo sanatumize Benjamini mbale wa Yosefe pamodzi nao, poopa kuti angamuchitikire choyipa. ⁵Ana a Isiraeli anabwera kudzagula tirigu pakati pa ena amene anabwera, popeza njala inali m'dziko la Kanani. ⁶Yosefe anali wolamulira dziko, nagulitsa tirigu kwa anthu ake onse. Abale a Yosefe anabwera nagwada pamaso pake, nkhope zawo pansi. ⁷Yosefe anaona abale ake nawazindikira, koma anachita ngati mlendo nalankhula nao mwaukali, nati, “Mwachokera kuti?” Iwo anati, “Tachokera ku Kanani, kudzagula chakudya.”

⁸Yosefe anazindikira abale ake, koma iwo sanamuzindikire. ⁹Ndipo Yosefe anakumbukira maloto amene analota za iwo, nati kwa iwo, “Inu ndinu azondi! Mwabwera kudzaona malo ofooka a dziko.”

¹⁰Koma iwo anati kwa iye, “Ayi, mbuye wanga, akapolo anu tabwera kudzagula chakudya. ¹¹Tonse ndife ana a munthu mmodzi; ndife anthu oona mtima. Akapolo anu sanakhalepo azondi.”

¹²Koma iye anati kwa iwo, “Ayi, mwabwera kudzapeza malo ofooka a dziko.”

¹³Iwo anati, “Akapolo anu ndife abale khumi ndi awiri, ana a munthu mmodzi m'dziko la Kanani. Mng'ono wathu ali ndi atate wathu lero, ndipo mmodzi palibe.”

¹⁴Yosefe anati kwa iwo, “Zili monga ndanenera kwa inu: inu ndinu azondi. ¹⁵Mudzayesedwa ndi ichi: pali moyo wa Farao, simudzachoka pano pokhapokha mng'ono wanu atadza. ¹⁶Tumizani mmodzi wa inu kuti akatenge mbale wanu, pamene inu ena mutsala m'ndende, kuti mau anu ayesedwe, ngati muli ndi choonadi. Ngati sichoncho, pali moyo wa Farao, ndithu inu ndinu azondi.” ¹⁷Ndipo anawaika onse m'ndende masiku atatu. ¹⁸Pa tsiku lachitatu Yosefe anati kwa iwo, “Chitani ichi kuti mukhale ndi moyo, pakuti ndimaopa Atate wathu. ^a a v18 Yosefe anatchula Mulungu amene amaopa — Atate wathu — nachitira umboni za kukhulupirika kwake kwenikweni ngakhale ali mobisala pamaso pa abale ake. Atate amene dzanja lawo lobisika latsogolera mkhalidwe uliwonse wa nkhani ya Yosefe ndi Atate yemweyo amene abale ake amamulambira. ¹⁹Ngati ndinu anthu oona mtima, mbale wanu mmodzi akhale pano m'ndende, pamene ena apite, nanyamula tirigu wa njala ya mabanja anu. ²⁰Bweretsani mng'ono wanu kwa ine, kuti mau anu atsimikizike, ndipo musafe.” Ndipo anachita motero.

²¹Ndipo anati wina ndi mnzake, “Zoonadi ndife olakwa chifukwa cha mbale wathu, popeza tinaona kuzunzika kwa moyo wake pamene anatidandaulira, koma ife sitinamvere. N'chifukwa chake kuzunzika uku kwatigwera.” ²²Rubeni anawayankha nati, “Kodi sindinakuuzeni kuti musamuchimwire mnyamatayo? Koma inu simunamvere. Tsopano mwazi wake ukufunidwa.” ²³Iwo sanadziwe kuti Yosefe anamva zimene amanena, pakuti panali womasulira pakati pawo. ²⁴Anawafulatira nalira, nabwerera nalankhula nao. Anatenga Simeoni pakati pawo, namumanga pamaso pawo.

²⁵Yosefe analamula kuti matumba awo adzazidwe ndi tirigu, siliva wa munthu aliyense abwezedwe m'thumba lake, ndipo apatsidwe chakudya cha paulendo. Choncho anawachitira motero. ²⁶Ndipo anasenzetsa tirigu wawo pa abulu awo, nanyamuka kuchoka kumeneko. ²⁷Pa malo ogona, mmodzi anatsekula thumba lake kuti adyetse bulu wake, naona siliva wake uli pakamwa pa thumba. ²⁸Anati kwa abale ake, “Siliva wanga wabwezedwa — taonani, uli m'thumba mwanga!” Mitima yawo inagwa; akunjenjemera, anati wina ndi mnzake, “Kodi Atate wathu watichitira chiyani?” ^b b v28 Kudzuka koyamba kwa abale pozindikira dzanja la Atate likugwira ntchito — ngakhale mu mantha awo, akuzindikira kuti ichi sichongochitika mwangozi. Atate akuwabweretsa kwawo moleza mtima kudzera mu chifundo chobisika cha Yosefe. ²⁹Anafika kwa Yakobo atate wawo m'dziko la Kanani, namuuza zonse zimene zinawachitikira, nati: ³⁰“Munthuyo, mbuye wa dziko, analankhula nafe mwaukali, natitenga ngati azondi a dziko. ³¹Koma tinati kwa iye, ‘Ndife anthu oona mtima; sitinakhalepo azondi. ³²Ndife abale khumi ndi awiri, ana a atate wathu. Mmodzi palibe; mng'ono wathu tsopano ali ndi atate wathu m'dziko la Kanani.’ ³³Munthuyo, mbuye wa dziko, anatiuza nati, ‘Ndidziwa kuti ndinu oona mtima motere: siyani mbale wanu mmodzi ndi ine, tengani tirigu wa njala ya mabanja anu, mupite.’ ³⁴Bweretserani ine mng'ono wanu, ndipo ndidzadziwa kuti simuli azondi koma anthu oona mtima. Ndidzakubwezerani mbale wanu, ndipo mudzachita malonda m'dziko lino.”

³⁵Pamene anali kukhuthula matumba awo, aliyense anapeza kathumba ka siliva wake m'thumba mwake. Ataona tithumba ta siliva wawo, iwo ndi atate wawo anachita mantha. ³⁶Yakobo atate wawo anati kwa iwo, “Mwandisandutsa wopanda ana: Yosefe palibe, Simeoni palibe, ndipo tsopano mukufuna kutenga Benjamini. Zonse zatsutsana ndi ine!”

³⁷Rubeni anati kwa atate wake, “Mukhoza kupha ana anga awiri ngati sindimubweza kwa inu. Muperekeni m'manja mwanga, ndipo ndidzamubweza kwa inu.”

³⁸Iye anati, “Mwana wanga sadzatsika pamodzi ndi inu, pakuti mbale wake wamwalira, ndipo iye yekha ndiye watsala. Choyipa chikamukhudza pa ulendo umene mukupita, mudzatsitsa imvi zanga ku manda mu chisoni.”
