1 Awo ekiseera owekyabitirewo, ni bakobera oYusufu bati oIteeye mulwaire. OYusufu nʼayaba nʼabataane bombi, oManase nʼEfulaimu okubona oYaakobbo. 2 Era ni bakobera oYaakobbo bati, omwanawe oYusufu ayabire okumubona. OYaakobbo ni yeeyazya okusetuka, nʼatyama oku buliri. 3 Era nʼakoba oYusufu ati, “OKibbumba oWabwezye Bwonabwona yambonekeire e Luuzi omu kyalo kyʼe Kanani, nʼampeera eeyo enkabi,+ 4 era nʼankoba ati, ‘Nalikuwa abaana bangi kaisi abaizukulubo ni mbasuuca mawanga amangi. Era naliwa eibyaireryo ekyalo kinu, ni kibba kyabwe emirembe gyonagyona.’ 5 Atyanu abataanebo bombi, Efulaimu nʼoManase abewabyaliire omu kyalo kyʼe Misiri nga nkaali okwiza egyoli omu Misiri, mbatwala ngʼabange. Era baabbanga bataane bange ngʼoLubbeeni nʼoSimyoni obwebali. 6 Kaisi abaana abewalibyala abaira okwEfulaimu nʼoManase, niibo abalibba ababo, neye emiwuluko gyabwe baligisuna kwEfulaimu nʼoManase. 7 Ekyo nkikolere olwʼokubba nasunire enima mpitiriri oLaakeeri omaawo oweyanfeereireku omu kyalo kyʼe Kanani nga nzwa omu Padani. Yanfeereireku omu nzira nga wakaali wasigaireyo olugendo okutuuka omwEfulaasi, ni mmuliika eeyo okumpi nʼenzira eyaba omwEfulaasi ekibeeta e Bbeserekeemu.”+
8 OIsirairi oweyaboine abataane ba Yusufu, nʼabuulya ati, “Abo niibo abanaani?” 9 OYusufu nʼairamu oiteeye oIsirairi ati, “Niibo abaana bange oKibbumba abampeereire aanu omu kyalo kyʼe Misiri.” OIsirairi nʼakoba ati, “Obaleete egyendi mbasabire enkabi.” 10 Amaiso ga Isirairi gabbaire goofuwaire olwʼobukaire, nga takaali abona kusani. OYusufu nʼamusembererya abaana. OIsirairi nʼabagwa omu bifubba. 11 OIsirairi nʼakoba oYusufu ati, “Nabbaire tinsuubira nga naliirayo okukubonaku. Neye atyanu oKibbumba anjikiriirye okubona nʼoku baanabo!” 12 OYusufu nʼabatoola omu bigere bya Isirairi, era nʼafuunama nʼaica empumi ansi okwitakali okumuwa ekitiisya.
13 OYusufu nʼabakwata bombi, Efulaimu omu ngaloye endiiro ngʼamusimbya oku lubba olwʼengalo engooda eya Isirairi. Era nʼakwata nʼoManase omu ngaloye engooda ngʼamusimbya oku lubba olwʼengalo endiiro eya Isirairi, nʼabasemberya egiri oIsirairi oiteeye. 14 Neye oIsirairi nʼagolola engalogye, nʼagisalisyamu. Endiiro nʼagiica ku mutwe gwʼEfulaimu newankubbaire nga yabbaire niiye omutomuto waaku, kaisi engooda nʼagiica oku Manase omukulu waaku.
15 Awo nʼasabira oYusufu enkabi* ati,
“OKibbumba, ozeiza wange oIbbulaimu
nʼobbaabba oIsaka ogubaweereryanga,
oKibbumba ondabiriirenge
okuzwa omu butobuto bwange paka lwatyanu, owe abaana banu enkabi.
16 Omalaika owannunwire mu buli kabbikabbi konakona,
obawe enkabi.
Eriina lyange nʼerya zeiza wange oIbbulaimu, nʼerya bbaabba oIsaka,
okubita omu baana banu, abantu bageebukiryenge.
Basune eibyaire linene
oku kyalo.”
17 OYusufu oweyaboine ngʼoiteeye ateekere engaloye endiiro ku mutwe gwʼEfulaimu, ni kimunakuwalya. Nʼakwata engalo ya iteeye okugitoola oku mutwe gwʼEfulaimu, okugiteeka oku mutwe gwa Manase. 18 OYusufu nʼakoba oiteeye ati, “Bbaabba ekyokola tikituuce, olwʼokubba onu niiye omukulu. Oteeke engaloyo endiiro ku mutwegwe.”
19 Cooka oiteeye nʼagaana. Nʼakoba ati, “Mmaite, mwana wange, mmaite. Eibyaire lya Manase lyona lyalisuuka igwanga, era balibba bakulu. Neye omutomuto oku Manase iye yalimukira obukulu, era eibyairerye lyalisuuka mawanga mangi.”
20 Kale awo nʼabasabira enkabi oku lunaku olwo ati,
“ABaisirairi owebaabbanga basabira omuntu enkabi, bakolesyenge amaliina gaanywe, nga bakoba bati,
‘OKibbumba akusuuce obbe wʼenkabi ooti Efulaimu nʼoManase.’ ”
OYaakobbo omu nkola eyo nʼabba akulirye Efulaimu okukiraku oManase.+
21 Awo Isirairi nʼakoba oYusufu ati, “Obone natira okufa, neye oKibbumba yaabbanga aamo na inywe, era yalibakanja omu kyalo kyʼabazeiza baanywe. 22 Era iwe niiwe ogumpaire eitakali lyʼe Sekemu erijimu, erinalwaine ni ntoola oku Bamooli nga nkolesya ebirwana byange. Ndiwaire niiwe, neye tibagandabo.”
