1 Ngea madzina a vhana vha Israele vha vhatuka vhe vha ya Egipita na Jakopo, muṅwe na muṅwe na muṱa wawe. 2Ndi Rubeni na Simioni na Livi na Juda, 3na Isakhara na Zebuloni na Benyamini, 4na Dani na Nafuthali na Gadi na Ashere. 5Vha lutsinga lwa Jakopo vhoṱhe vho ṱangana vho vha vhe vhathu vha 70. Josefa ene o vha o no ḓi vha Egipita.

U fulufhedzea ha vhadzadzefhadzi
15Ndi hone khosi ya Egipita i tshi amba na vhadzadzefhadzi vha Vhaheberu. Muṅwe o vha a tshi pfi Shifira muṅwe a tshi pfi Phua. 16A vha vhudza a ri, “Musi ni tshi dzadzefhadza vhasadzi vha Vhaheberu ni sedze uri ho bebwa mbeu-ḓe. Arali ha bebiwa mutukana, ni mu vhulahe, arali ha bebiwa musidzana ni mu litshe a tshile.” 17Hone vhadzadzefhadzi vho vha vha tshi ofha Mudzimu, vha nyadza ndaela ya khosi ya Egipita, vha litsha vhatukana vha tshila.
18Ndi hone khosi ya Egipita i tshi vhidzisa vhadzadzefhadzi, ya vha vhudzisa ya ri, “No itelani ni tshi litsha vhatukana vha tshila?” 19Vhone vha fhindula Farao vha ri, “Vhasadzi vha Vhaheberu a vha ngi vhasadzi vha Vhaegipita, vha na nungo; vha ṱavhanya u vhofholowa mudzadzefhadzi a sa athu swika khavho.”
20Avho vhadzadzefhadzi Mudzimu a vha tonda. Vhathu vhone vha ḓi anda vha tshi ya, vha vha na maanḓa mahulu. 21Vhunga vhadzadzefhadzi vho vha vha tshi ofha Mudzimu, Ene a vha ṋea miṱa yavho.
22Ndi hone Farao a tshi laya vhalanda vhawe vhoṱhe a ri, “Vhatukana vhoṱhe vhane vha bebiwa nga Vhaheberu ni vha pose mulamboni, hone vhasidzana ni vha litshe vha tshile.”
