15Varume vaya vakatora chipo, nesirivha yakapetwa kaviri, naBhenjamini, vakaburukira kuIjipiti, vakamira pamberi paJosefa.
16Josefa akati achiona Bhenjamini anavo, akati kumutariri weimba yake, “Pinza varume ava mumba, ubaye mhuka, uigadzire—vachadya neni masikati.” 17Murume uya akaita sezvakataurwa naJosefa, akapinza varume vaya mumba maJosefa. 18Varume vaya vakatya nokuti vakanga vapinzwa mumba maJosefa. Vakati, “Zvingava nokuda kwemari yakadzoswa mumasaga edu pakutanga, zvatapinzwa muno—kuti vatirwise, vatiwire, vatitore senhapwa, uye vatore mbongoro dzedu.” 19Saka vakaswedera kumutariri weimba yaJosefa, vakataura naye pamukova, 20vakati, “Ndapota, changamire, takaburuka zvechokwadi pakutanga kuti titenge zvokudya. 21Panzvimbo yokurara, patakazarura masaga edu, sirivha yomunhu mumwe nomumwe yakanga iripo yakakwana pauremu hwayo, mumuromo wesaga rake. Tauidzosa nesu. 22Takaunzawo imwe mari yokutenga zvokudya, asi hatizivi akaiisa mumasaga edu.”
23Akati, “Rugare kwamuri, musatya. Baba venyu naMwari wababa venyu vakakupai pfuma mumasaga enyu; muripo wenyu wakasvika kwandiri.” Ipapo akabudisa Simeoni kwavari. 24Murume uya akavapinza mumba maJosefa, akavapa mvura, vakashamba tsoka dzavo; akapawo mbongoro dzavo zvokudya. 25Saka vakagadzirira chipo kusvikira Josefa auya masikati, nokuti vakanga vanzwa kuti vaizodyira ipapo. 26Josefa paakasvika kumba, vakamuvigira chipo chaiva mumaoko avo, vakamukotamira pasi. 27Akavabvunza kuti vakadii, akati, “Baba venyu—harahwa yamakareva—vakanaka here?
