1 Phahi Yusufu wahala nduguze atsano na achiphiya kpwa Farao, achendamuamba, “Baba na enehu akedza kula Kanani na mifugo yao na chila chitu aricho nacho, na vivi a Gosheni.” 2 Chisha achimuonyesa mfalume hara nduguze. 3 Mfalume achiauza, “Muhenda kazi yani?” Nao achimuamba, “Bwana, swino hu afugi a mangʼondzi hangu wanache wehu kama vyokala akare ehu.” 4 Chisha achimuamba Farao, “Hukedzasagala hiku kpwa muda, mana hiko Kanani ndzala ni kali, hata mifugo taina mwatu mwa kurisa. Tafadhali hunakuvoya uhukubali swiswi atumishio husagale Gosheni.” 5 Mfalume achimuambira Yusufu, “Sowe na enenu akakulunga uwe, 6 na tsi ya Misiri ni yako; muphe sowe na enenu phatu phanono kabisa. Ariche asagale hiko seemu za Gosheni. Na ichikala nduguzo anjina ni afugi enye ujuzi mkpwulu zaidi, naaimirire mifugo yangu.”
7 Halafu Yusufu wamreha ise Jakobo kpwa mfalume ili amanyane, naye Jakobo achimʼbariki mfalume. 8 Farao achimuuza Jakobo, “Una miaka mingaphi?” 9 Jakobo achimuambira mfalume, “Miaka ya charo changu himu duniani ni gana mwenga na mirongo mihahu. Miaka hino ni michache na taidzangbwefika miaka yoishi akare angu, tsona yakala ya kugaya.” 10 Halafu Jakobo wamʼbariki mfalume na achiuka.
11 Phahi Yusufu wamupha ise na nduguze phatu phanono kabisa Misiri, seemu za Ramesesi, kama vyolagiza mfalume. 12 Piya Yusufu kala achimupha ise chakurya, phamwenga na nduguze na atu osi pho kaya kulengana na ana ario nao.
Yusufu analongoza wakati wa ndzala
13 Ndzala yazidi kukala kali sana hata kuchikala takuna chakurya chila phatu. Amisiri na Akanani achikala anagaya. 14 Yusufu kala akaphokera pesa zosi ambazo atu a Misiri na Kanani kala akagurira chakurya na achiziphirika dzumba ra mfalume. 15 Atu aho ariphomala pesa zao, Amisiri osi aphiya kpwa Yusufu achendamuamba, “Huphe chakurya! Usihuriche hukahirika. Lola, pesa zehu zosi zasira!” 16 Yusufu achiaambira, “Ichikala pesa zenu zikasira, phahi, niphani mifugo yenu, hukakanizaneni chakurya kpwa mifugo.” 17 Ndipho achimrehera Yusufu mifugo yao na Yusufu achiapha chakurya. Aho areha farasi, punda, ngʼombe, mangʼondzi na mbuzi. Mwaka hinyo Yusufu waapha chakurya kpwa kukakanizana na mifugo yao yosi.
18 Mwaka uriphosira, amuuyira Yusufu achendamuamba, “Bwana, pore ela ni lazima hukuambire shida yehu. Pesa zehu zosi zasira na mifugo yehu yosi ni maliyo. Sambi tahukasala na chochosi huwezacho kukupha isiphokala swiswi enye na minda yehu. 19 Usihuriche hukahirika na minda yehu ikabanangika. Hugule phamwenga na minda yehu, bora tu huphahe chakurya; hukale atumwa a mfalume na minda yehu ikale maliye. Huphe mtsere ili huenderere kukala moyo sedze hukafwa, tsi ikakala wekee bila atu.”
20 Ndipho Yusufu achigula minda yosi ya Amisiri, na ichikala mali ya mfalume. Chila Mmisiri waguza mundawe kpwa sababu ndzala kala ni kali sana. Minda yosi yakala mali ya mfalume 21 na Amisiri osi achikala atumwa, kula pembe hadi pembe. 22 Ela Yusufu kayagula minda ya alavyadzi-sadaka, mana taayakala na lazima ya kuguza minda yao kpwa sababu mfalume kala achiapha posho. 23 Chisha Yusufu achiaambira atu, “Sambi phundzani, nkakugulani na minda yenu na mosi mu mali ya mfalume. Vivi nakuphani mbeyu mkaphande mwenu mindani. 24 Ela siku muchivuna, seemu mwenga ya tsano ya mavuno genu mundamupha mfalume. Seemu ndiyosala indakala ya mbeyu na ya chakurya chenu na ana enu.” 25 Nao achimuambira Yusufu, “Wativya maisha gehu, bwana. Ni sawa kukala atumwa a mfalume.”
26 Phahi Yusufu waika shariya Misiri, kukala chila Mmisiri lazima alavye seemu mwenga ya tsano ya mavunoge kpwa mfalume. Shariya hino inahumika hadi rero. Minda ya alavyadzi-sadaka tu ndiyo ambayo taiyagulwa ni mfalume.
Wasiya wa Jakobo
27 Phahi, ana a Iziraeli asagala Misiri seemu za Gosheni, ambako atsuma mali, achivyalana na achienjerezeka sana.
28 Jakobo wasagala Misiri miaka kumi na sabaa, kpwa hivyo achikala akafika miaka gana mwenga na mirongo mine na sabaa. 29 47:29 Mwandzo 49:29–32; 50:6Ariphokala a phephi na kufwa, wamuiha mwanawe Yusufu, achimuamba, “Sambi uchikala unanimendza kpweli, tiya mkpwonoo phangu magoni na uape kukala undaishimu na kuhenda nilondago. Usinizike hiku Misiri, 30 ela siku nchifwa, nitsukulani kula Misiri, mkanizike kpwehu vikurani.” Yusufu achiamba, “Nindahenda kama uchivyoniamba, baba.” 31 Ise achiamba, “Apa,” naye Yusufu achimuapira. Chisha ise achiuyiza chitswache chitandani.*47:31 Chisha ise achiuyiza chitswache chitandani: Kpwa Chieburania mana ganjina ni: Chisha ise wamuabudu Mlungu kuno akadzizuwiya na fwimboye.
