Ukumbelwa kukaJakobe
1UJosefa waziwisela phezu kukayise, wakhalela phezu kwakhe; wamanga. 2UJosefa waselaya inceku zakhe izinyanga ukuba zilungise isidumbu sikayise ngomuthi wokusilondoloza; izinyanga zasilungisa isidumbu sikaIsrayeli. 3Zaphelela insuku ezingamatshumi amane, insuku zokulungiswa kwesidumbu. AmaGibithe amkhalela insuku ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
4Sezidlulile insuku zokumkhalela, uJosefa wakhuluma labendlu kuFaro wathi: Uba ngifumene umusa emehlweni enu, ake lingikhulumele kuFaro, 5lithi: Ubaba wangifungisa wathi: Khangela, ngiyafa; ungingcwabe elibeni engazimbela lona elizweni laseKanani. Ngakhoke ngicela ukuba ngihambe ngiyelahla ubaba, besengibuya futhi.#Gen 47:29–31 6UFaro wathi: Hamba uyelahla uyihlo njengokukufungisa kwakhe. 7UJosefa wasekhuphuka ukuba ammbele uyise, kwakhuphuka kanye laye zonke inceku zikaFaro, izikhulu zendlu yakhe, lazo zonke izikhulu zelizwe laseGibithe, 8lendlu yonke kaJosefa, labafowabo, lendlu kayise; kodwa abantwana babo lezimvu zabo lenkomo zabo bakutshiya elizweni laseGosheni. 9Kwakhuphuka laye izinqola labagadi bamabhiza, kwaba lixuku elikhulu. 10Baye bafika esizeni seAtadi eliphetsheya kweJordani; basebekhala kakhulukazi belosizi olukhulu, bamlilela uyise insuku eziyisikhombisa. 11Kwathi abakhileyo kulelolizwe, amaKanani, bebona ukulila esizeni seAtadi bathi: Lesi yisililo esikhulu samaGibithe. Ngakhoke basebeyibiza indawo ngokuthi yiAbeli‐Mizirayimi eliphetsheya kweJordani. 12Amadodana akhe amenzela njengalokhu ewalayile; 13ngoba amthwalela elizweni laseKanani, amngcwaba obhalwini lwaseMakaphela, oluseduze leMamre, uAbrahama aluthenga kanye lensimu kuEfroni umHethi, ukuba lube yindawo yokungcwabela.#Seb 7:16 14UJosefa esemmbele uyise wasebuyela eGibithe labafowabo labo bonke abakhuphuka laye ukuyambela uyise.
15Abafowabo bakaJosefa sebebonile ukuthi uyise usefile bathi: Mhlawumbe uJosefa uzasizonda, asiphindisele ngokubi konke esakwenza kuye. 16Bathumela ilizwi kuJosefa bathi: Uyihlo wasilaya engakafi 17wathi: Lizakutsho lokhu kuJosefa lithi: Akuxolele abafowenu isiphambeko sabo lesono sabo sokuthi bakwenzela okubi; khathesi siyakucela, akuxolele isiphambeko sezinceku zikaNkulunkulu kayihlo. UJosefa wakhala nxa bekhuluma laye. 18Labafowabo baya kuye, bawela phansi phambi kwakhe bathi: Khangela, siyizinceku zakho. 19Kodwa uJosefa wathi kibo: Lingesabi, kanti ngisendaweni kaNkulunkulu na? 20Lina laceba ukwenza okubi kimi, kodwa uNkulunkulu wakuphendula kwaba ngokuhle, njengalokhu kunjalo lamuhla, ukuba asilise abantu abanengi. 21Ngakhoke lingesabi; ngizakulondla lina labantwana benu. Wabaduduza, wakhuluma labo ngomusa.
Ukufa kukaJosefa
22UJosefa wahlala eGibithe, yena lendlu kayise. UJosefa wahamba iminyaka elikhulu letshumi. 23UJosefa wabona abantwana bakaEfrayimi abesizukulwana sesithathu; labantwana bakaMakiri indodana kaManase bazalwa babekwa emathangazini kaJosefa. 24UJosefa wasesithi kubafowabo: Sengizakufa, kodwa uNkulunkulu uzalihambela impela, alikhuphe kulelilizwe alise elizweni alifungela oAbrahama loIsaka loJakobe. 25UJosefa wafungisa amadodana kaIsrayeli esithi: UNkulunkulu uzalihambela impela, lithuthe amathambo ami lapha.#Eks 13:19; Josh 24:32; Heb 11:22 26UJosefa wafa eleminyaka elikhulu letshumi; balungisa isidumbu sakhe ngomuthi, wafakwa ebhokisini eGibithe.
