UGenesise 43

¹Indlala yayinzima ezweni.

²Sebedlile ukolweni ababewulande eGibithe, uyise wathi kubo: “Buyelani, nisithengele ukudla.”

³UJuda wakhuluma kuye, wathi: “Lowo muntu wasola kithi, wathi: “Aniyikubona ubuso bami, uma umfowenu engekho kini.”

⁴Uma uthuma umfowethu nathi, siyakwehla, sikuthengele ukudla;

⁵Kodwa uma ungamthumi, asiyikwehla; ngoba lowomuntu wathi kithi: Kaliyikubona ubuso bami ngaphandle kokuthi umfowenu elaye.

⁶Wayesethi u-Israyeli: “Ningenzeleni okubi kangaka ukuba nitshele lowo muntu ukuthi unomunye umfowenu na?

⁷Bathi: “Lowo muntu wasibuza kahle ngesimo sethu nangendlu yethu, wathi: “Usekhona uyihlo na?” ninomunye umfowenu, samtshela ngokwalawa mazwi, sathi: “Siyazi ngempela ukuthi uzakuthi: Mehliseni umfowenu na?

⁸Wayesethi uJuda kuyise u-Israyeli: “Thuma umfana nami, sisuke sihambe; ukuze siphile, singafi, thina kanye nani, nabantwana bethu abancane.

⁹Mina ngiyakummela; uyakumbiza esandleni sami; uma ngingamlethi kuwe, ngimbeke phambi kwakho, ngiyakuba necala kuze kube phakade.

¹⁰Ngoba uba besingathandabuzi, ngabe sesibuyile okwesibili.

¹¹U-Israyeli uyise wayesethi kubo: “Uma kunjalo, kwenzeni; Thathani ezitsheni zenu izithelo ezinhle kakhulu zezwe, nilethe isipho kumuntu, ibhalisamu elincane nezinyosi ezincane, izinongo nomure, amakinati nama-alimondi;

¹²Niphathe esandleni senu imali ephindwe kabili; nemali eyabuyiswa emlonyeni wezikhwama zenu, niyiphathe esandleni senu; mhlawumbe lokhu bekuyiphutha:

¹³Futhi thatha umfowenu, usukume, ubuyele kulowo muntu.

¹⁴UNkulunkulu, uMninimandla onke, makaniphe umusa phambi kwalowo muntu, ukuze animukise umfowenu omunye noBenjamini. Uma ngiphucwa izingane zami, ngigetshengwa.

¹⁵Amadoda asethatha leso sipho, aphatha esandleni sawo imali ephindwe kabili, noBenjamini; wasukuma, wehlela eGibithe, wema phambi kukaJosefa.

¹⁶UJosefa ebona uBenjamini enabo, wathi enduneni yendlu yakhe: “Buyisela lawa madoda ekhaya, uwabulale, uzilungise; ngoba lamadoda azakudla lami emini.

¹⁷Indoda yenza njengokuyala kukaJosefa; indoda yawangenisa amadoda endlini kaJosefa.

¹⁸Amadoda esaba, ngokuba angeniswa endlini kaJosefa; bathi: Ngenxa yemali eqale yabuyiselwa emaphaketheni ethu, sangeniswa; ukuze afune ithuba ngokumelene nathi futhi asehlele futhi asithathe njengezigqila nezimbongolo zethu.

¹⁹Asondela kumlindi wendlu kaJosefa, akhuluma kuye ngasemnyango wendlu;

²⁰bathi: “O, Nkosi, sehla okokuqala ukuzothenga ukudla.”

²¹Lapho sifika endlini yezihambi, savula izikhwama zethu, bheka, imali yalowo nalowo yayisemlonyeni wesikhwama sakhe, imali yethu ngesisindo sayo; futhi sayibuyisela esandleni sethu.

²²Saletha enye imali esandleni sethu ukuba sithenge ukudla; ngeke sazi ukuthi ubani owafaka imali yethu emaphaketheni ethu.

²³Wathi: “Ukuthula makube kinina, ningesabi; uNkulunkulu wenu noNkulunkulu kayihlo uninikile ingcebo emaphaketheni enu; Benginayo imali yakho. Wamkhiphela uSimeyoni.

²⁴Indoda yawangenisa amadoda endlini kaJosefa, yawanika amanzi, ageza izinyawo zawo; wazinika izimbongolo zabo ifolishi.

²⁵Basebelungisela uJosefa isipho, owafika emini, ngoba bezwile ukuthi bazakudla khona isinkwa.

²⁶UJosefa esengenile endlini, amngenisa endlini isipho esasisesandleni sawo, akhothamela phansi phambi kwakhe.

²⁷Wababuza ukuphila kwabo, wathi: “Uyihlo, ixhegu enakhuluma ngalo, wenza kahle na? Usaphila?

²⁸Bathi: “Inceku yakho ubaba iphilile, isekhona; Bagebisa amakhanda abo, bakhuleka.

²⁹Waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona uBenjamini umfowabo, indodana kanina, wathi: “Lo ungumfowenu omncane enakhuluma ngaye kimi na?” Wathi: “UNkulunkulu makakuhawukele, ndodana yami!

³⁰UJosefa washesha; ngoba izibilini zakhe zinxanela umfowabo, wadinga lapho angakhala khona; wangena ekamelweni lakhe, wakhala khona.

³¹Wageza ubuso bakhe, waphuma wazibamba, wathi: “Beka isinkwa.”

³²Basebemlungisela yena yedwa, eyedwa, labaseGibhithe ababedla laye, bodwa, ngoba amaGibhithe ayengelakudla isinkwa lamaHebheru; ngoba kuyisinengiso kwabaseGibhithe.

³³Bahlala phambi kwakhe, izibulo njengobuzibulo balo, omncane njengobuncane bakhe; amadoda amangala wodwa.

³⁴Wabathatha, wabathuma basuka phambi kwakhe; kepha ukudla kukaBenjamini kwaba ngokuphindwe kahlanu kunabo bonke. Baphuza, bajabula naye.
