1Jakubu nĩathiire na mbere gũtũũra bũrũriinĩ wa Kanaani ũrĩa ithe aathaamĩire, 2na rũũrũ nĩruo rũgano rwa mũciĩ wa Jakubu.

3Na rĩĩrĩ, Jakubu nĩendeete Josefu makĩria ma ũrĩa eendeete aariũ acio angĩ aake, tondũ aamũciarĩĩte e mũkũrũ. Nĩamũtumĩire nguo ndaaya ng'emie. 4No rĩĩrĩ, aariũ a ithe moona atĩ ithe nĩendeete Josefu makĩria ma ũrĩa aameendeete, nĩmaathũũrire Josefu ũguo atĩ matiamwaragĩria wega.
5Hĩndĩ ĩmwe Josefu nĩarootire, na akĩĩra aariũ a ithe kĩrooto kĩu, nao magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmũthũũra. 6Aameerire atĩrĩ, “Tathikĩrĩriai ũrĩa ndĩrarootire: 7ithuothe tũroohaga itĩĩa cia ngano twĩ mũgũnda, na rĩĩrĩ, gĩtĩĩa gĩakwa kĩrarũũgama kĩĩhandĩĩte, nacio cianyu iragĩthiũrũrũkĩria irakĩinamĩrĩra.”
8Nao aariũ a ithe makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgwĩciiria atĩ nĩũgũtuĩka mũthamaki ũtwathage?” Magĩkĩmũmena makĩria nĩ ũndũ wa irooto ciake, o na nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aamacuukaga.
9Ningĩ Josefu nĩarootire rĩngĩ, naake akĩĩra aariũ a ithe kĩrooto kĩu. Aameerire atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrarootire, ndĩroona riũa, mweri, na njata ikũmi na ĩmwe inyinamĩrĩire.”
10O na nĩerire ithe kĩrooto kĩu na ithe akĩmũkũũma akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kĩu nĩ kĩrooto kĩa mũthemba ũrĩkũ? Ũgwĩciiria atĩ maitũguo, aariũ a thooguo, o na niĩ tũgũũka tũkũinamĩrĩre?” 11Aariũ a ithe nĩmaamũiguĩrĩire ũiru, no ithe nĩaikarire agĩciiragia ũhoro ũcio wothe.
Josefu kwendio na gũthiio naake Misiri
12Hĩndĩ ĩmwe aariũ a ithe na Josefu nĩmaathiĩte gũkuhĩ na Shekemu kũrĩithia mahiũ ma ithe. 13Jakubu akĩĩra Josefu atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwenda ũthiĩ Shekemu kũrĩa aariũ a thooguo mararĩithia.”
Josefu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩngũthiĩ.”
14Ithe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkarore kana aariũ a thooguo marĩ o ro ho o wega o hamwe na mbũri; ũcooke ũũke ũnjĩĩre.” Kwoguo ithe akĩmũtũma kuuma gĩtuamba kĩa Heburoni.
Josefu nĩakinyire Shekemu, 15na rĩrĩa oorũũraga kũu werũinĩ, mũndũ ũmwe akĩmuona akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ũracaria?”
16Naake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩracaria aariũ a baaba mararĩithia gũũkũ. No ũnjĩĩre kũrĩa marĩ?”
17Naake mũndũ ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmoimĩĩte gũũkũ. Njiguire makiuga atĩ megũthiĩ Dothani.” Kwoguo Josefu agĩthiĩ gũcaria aariũ a ithe, akĩmakora Dothani.
18Nao makĩmuona arĩ haraaya, na atanakinya harĩ o, magĩcookania ndundu mamũũrage. 19Maakĩĩranire atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa mũrooti ũrĩa. 20Atĩrĩĩrĩ, rekeei tũmũũrage tũmũikie irima rĩmwe rĩa marima maya. Tũcooke tũthiĩ tuuge atĩ arĩirwo nĩ nyamũ ya gĩthaka, tũkĩone irooto ciake igaatuĩka atĩa.”
21Rĩrĩa Reubeni aiguire ũrĩa moigaga agĩkĩgeria kũmũhonokia, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rekeei tũtige kũmũũraga. 22Mũikiei irima gũũkũ werũinĩ e muoyo.” Oigire ũguo o akĩenda kũmũhonokia acooke amũcookerie ithe. 23Josefu akinya harĩa aariũ a ithe maarĩ, makĩmũruta nguo yake ĩrĩa ndaaya ng'emie, 24magĩcooka makĩmuoya makĩmũikia irima rĩa gĩthima kĩahũĩte maaĩ.
25Na rĩĩrĩ, rĩrĩa maarĩaga makĩona gĩkundi kĩa Aishumaeli me rũgendoinĩ rwa kuuma Gileadi maroreete Misiri. Ngamĩĩra ciao nĩciakuuĩĩte indo nungi wega o hamwe na ũũkĩ wa manemane. 26Juda agĩkĩĩra aariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “ Tũkuona uumithio ũrĩkũ, tworaga mũrũ wa baaba na twage kuumbũra? 27Rekeei tũmwendie kũrĩ Aishumaeli aya. Rekeei tũtige kũmũũraga amu we nĩ mũrũ wa baaba, na tũrĩ a mũthiimo ũmwe.” Aariũ a ithe nĩmaiguithanĩirie naake. 28Rĩrĩa ahũũri mbiacara a kuuma Midiani maahĩtũkagĩra hau, aariũ a ithe makĩmũguucia kuuma irima makĩmwendia kũrĩ Aishumaeli icunjĩ cia betha mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, nao makĩmũkuua makĩmũtwara Misiri.
29Rĩrĩa Reubeni aacookire irimainĩ rĩa gĩthima agĩkora Josefu ndarĩ ho, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake nĩ ũndũ wa kĩeha. 30Agĩcooka kũrĩ aariũ a ithe akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngũrora na kũ, na mwanake ndarĩ irimainĩ?”
31Nao magĩthĩnja mbũri, makĩrinda nguo ĩrĩa ya Josefu thakameinĩ ya mbũri ĩyo. 32Magĩcooka magĩtwarĩra ithe nguo ĩyo makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nguo ĩno tũroonire-rĩ, hiihi nĩ ya mũũrũguo?”
33Nĩamĩmenyire na agĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ ĩno nĩ nguo yake! Nyamũ ya gĩthaka nĩ yo ĩramũrĩire. Nĩ ma rĩu Josefu ndarĩ ho!” 34Jakubu nĩatembũrangire nguo ciake nĩ kĩeha, na akĩyoha nguo ya ikũnia njohero agĩcakaĩra mũũrũwe matukũ maingĩ. 35Ciana ciake ciothe cia aanake na cia airĩĩtu nĩciageririe kũmũũmĩrĩria, nowe akĩrega kũũmĩrĩrio agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngaikũrũka kũrĩa akuũ mathiaga o ngĩcakayagĩra mũrũ wakwa.” Kwoguo agĩthiĩ na mbere gũcakaĩra mũũrũwe Josefu.
36Na rĩĩrĩ, Amidiani makinya Misiri meendirie Josefu kũrĩ Potifaru, ũmwe wa atongoria a mũthamaki wa Misiri, warĩ mũnene wa arangĩri.
