Waye u‐Josefe wapupa ipupa, walixela kubakuluwe bake; baza bongezelela ukumzonda ngakumbi.

Waye u‐Sirayeli watanda u‐Josefe ngapezu kwabo bonke onyana bake, ngokuba ebengunyana wobuxego bake; wayemenzele ingubo yamabala ngamabala.

Baza abakuluwe bake, bakubona ukuba uyise wabo uyamtanda ngapezu kwabo bonke abakuluwe bake, bamzonda, bakohlwa nakukuteta naye ngoxolo.

Wabuya wapupa nelinye ipupa, wabalisa kwa lona kubakuluwe bake; wati: Bona ke, ndipupile ipupa kanjako; kekaloku bona ke, ilanga, nenyanga, nenkwenkwezi zilishumi elinanye, zatoba pantsi pambi kwam.

Baye benomona ngakuye abakuluwe bake; kanti uyise wagqala isiteto eso.

Wayesiti kubo: Kanipulapule elipupa endilipupileyo. Kekaloku bona ke, sibe sibopa izitungu pakati kwentsimi; kanjalo bona ke, sesuka isitungu sam, sapakama nokupakama; kanjako bona ke, izitungu zenu zema ngokungqonga, zatoba pantsi pambi kwesitungu sam.

Yizani ke kaloku, size simbulale, simpose kwomnye waleminxuma; sasiya kuti: Udliwe liṙamncwa; sandule sibone ukuba oba yinto nina amapupa ake.

Kwandu ukudlula ama‐Midiyane, engabatengi; baza bar̔ola banyusa u‐Josefe emnxunyeni, bamtengisa u‐Josefe kuma‐Shimayeli lawo ngeshekele zesilivere ezimashumi; mabini; ati wona amsa u‐Josefe e‐Jipete.

Baye besiti omnye kwomnye: Nanku lompupi esiza!

Bati bakumbona esekude, kwa engekasondeli kubo, bamceba ukuba bamfise.

Walekela u‐Rubene ukuti kubo: Ningapalazi igazi; mposeni kulomnxuma osentlango, ningabeki isandla pezu kwake. Watsho ngokunga angamhlangula ezandleni zabo, ukuze ambuyisele kuyise.
