47 ¹Yosefe anabwera nauza Farao, “Atate wanga ndi abale anga, pamodzi ndi nkhosa zawo, ng'ombe zawo, ndi zonse zimene ali nazo, abwera kuchokera ku Kanani. Tsopano ali ku Goseni.” ²Pakati pa abale ake anatenga anthu asanu, nawapereka kwa Farao. ³Farao anafunsa abale a Yosefe, “Ntchito yanu ndi chiyani?” Iwo anawuza Farao, “Akapolo anu ndife oweta nkhosa, ife ndi makolo athu.”

⁴Anatinso kwa Farao, “Tabwera kudzakhala m'dziko lino monga alendo, popeza kulibe msipu wa nkhosa za akapolo anu—njala yafika poyipa ku Kanani. Tsopano chonde loleni akapolo anu akhazikike ku Goseni.”

⁵Farao anati kwa Yosefe, “Atate wako ndi abale ako abwera kwa iwe. ⁶Dziko la Igupto lili pamaso pako. Khazikitsa atate wako ndi abale ako m'malo abwino kwambiri a dziko—akhale ku Goseni. Ngati ukudziwa anthu aluso pakati pawo, uwaike kukhala oyang'anira ziweto zanga.”

⁷Ndipo Yosefe analowetsa Yakobo atate wake, namupereka kwa Farao, ndipo Yakobo anadalitsa Farao. ⁸Farao anafunsa Yakobo, “Wakhala ndi moyo zaka zingati?”

⁹Yakobo anayankha Farao nati, “Zaka za maulendo anga ndi 130. Ndi zochepa ndi zowawa, ndipo sizinafike zaka za maulendo a makolo anga.” ¹⁰Ndipo Yakobo anadalitsa Farao, nachoka pamaso pake.

¹¹Choncho Yosefe anakhazikitsa atate wake ndi abale ake, nawapatsa malo m'chigawo chabwino kwambiri cha Igupto, m'dera la Ramesesi, monga momwe Farao analamulira. ¹²Yosefe anadyetsa atate wake, abale ake, ndi onse a m'nyumba ya atate wake, monga mwa chiwerengero cha ana awo.

Njala Yakula Kwambiri

¹³Kunalibe chakudya m'dziko lonse, pakuti njala inali yoopsa kwambiri, ndipo dziko la Igupto ndi dziko la Kanani zinafooka ndi njala. ¹⁴Yosefe anasonkhanitsa siliva yonse imene inapezeka m'dziko la Igupto ndi m'dziko la Kanani chifukwa cha tirigu amene anthu amagula, ndipo Yosefe anabweretsa siliva m'nyumba ya Farao. ¹⁵Siliva itatha m'dziko la Igupto ndi m'dziko la Kanani, Aigupto onse anabwera kwa Yosefe, nati, “Tipatseni chakudya! Nanga tife bwanji pamaso panu? Popeza siliva yatha.”

¹⁶Yosefe anayankha nati, “Perekani ziweto zanu; ine ndikupatsani chakudya m'malo mwa ziweto zanu, popeza siliva yanu yatha.” ¹⁷Iwo anabweretsa ziweto zawo kwa Yosefe, ndipo iye anawapatsa chakudya chifukwa cha akavalo, nkhosa, ng'ombe, ndi abulu. Anawapatsa chakudya chaka chimenecho chifukwa cha ziweto zawo zonse. ¹⁸Chaka chimenecho chitatha, iwo anabwera kwa iye chaka chachiwiri, nati, “Sitingathe kubisira mbuye wanga kuti siliva yathu yatha, ndipo ziweto ndi za mbuye wanga; palibe chatsala kwa mbuye wanga koma matupi athu ndi dziko lathu. ¹⁹Nanga tife bwanji pamaso panu—ife ndi dziko lathu? Tiguleni ife ndi dziko lathu ndi chakudya; ife ndi dziko lathu tidzatumikira Farao. Tipatseni mbewu kuti tikhale ndi moyo, osafa, ndipo dziko lisasanduke bwinja.”

²⁰Choncho Yosefe anagula dziko lonse la Igupto chifukwa cha Farao, popeza Mwigupto aliyense anagulitsa munda wake—njala inali yoopsa kwambiri kwa iwo. Dziko linakhala la Farao. ²¹Iye anasamutsira anthu m'mizinda, kuchokera mbali ina ya Igupto kufika mbali inayo. ²²Koma dziko la ansembe sanaligule, popeza Farao anawapatsa gawo lokhazikika limene amadya; choncho sanagulitse dziko lawo. ²³Yosefe anawuza anthu, “Taonani, ndakugulani inu ndi dziko lanu chifukwa cha Farao lero. Nayi mbewu—fesani m'dziko. ²⁴Pa nthawi yokolola, perekani kwa Farao gawo limodzi la magawo asanu; sungani magawo anayi monga mbewu ya m'munda ndi chakudya cha inu, mabanja anu, ndi ana anu.”

²⁵Iwo anati, “Mwatipulumutsa miyoyo yathu. Tipezeni chisomo pamaso pa mbuye wanga, ndipo tidzakhala akapolo a Farao.” ²⁶Choncho Yosefe anasandutsa ichi lamulo m'Igupto—limene lilipobe mpaka lero—kuti gawo limodzi la magawo asanu limapita kwa Farao. Dziko la ansembe lokha silinakhale la Farao.

²⁷Aisraeli anakhala m'dziko la Igupto, m'dziko la Goseni. Anapeza chuma kumeneko, nabala ndi kuchuluka kwambiri. ²⁸Yakobo anakhala ku Igupto zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi ziwiri; zaka zonse za moyo wake zinali 147. ²⁹Nthawi yakufa kwa Israeli itayandikira, iye anaitana Yosefe mwana wake nati, “Ngati ndapeza chisomo pamaso pako, chonde ika dzanja lako pansi pa ntchafu yanga, undionetse chikondi chokhulupirika ndi kudzipereka. Chonde usandiike m'manda m'Igupto, ^a a v29 Kuika dzanja pansi pa ntchafu ya munthu kunali mchitidwe wakale wolumbira molemekezeka, womanga lonjezo pa zidzukulu za munthu. ³⁰koma ndigone ndi makolo anga. Nditulutse ku Igupto, ndipo undiike m'manda mwawo.” Yosefe anati, “Ndidzachita monga mwanenera.”

³¹Yakobo anati, “Undilumbirire.” Ndipo Yosefe anamulumbirira. Ndipo Israeli anaweramira pamutu pa bedi lake.
