5 Otjikando tjimwe Josef wa rota oruroto, ne ru serekarere komarumbi we. Nowo otji ve mu humisira ko. 6 Eye wa tja ku wo: “Purateneye oruroto ndu mba rota. 7 Tareye, atuhe twa ri mehi romakunino amatu kutu omikuta vyovikootwa. Nomukuta imbwi owandje wa kurama oseka, nu imbi ovyeṋu vya kurama okukondoroka imbwi owandje navi ripete ku wo.”

10 Neye tja raera oruroto rwe ku ihe na komarumbi we, ihe we mu tena a tja: “Oruroto rwatjike ndu wa roto? Ove mo ripura kutja ami na nyoko nomarumbi woye nomuangu woye matu ya okuripeta kove?” 11 Omarumbi wa Josef va ṱeruru na ye, nungwari ihe wa kara pokuripura notjiṋa hi atjihe.
Josef ma randisiwa kOvaengipte
12 Nomarumbi we va karisa ozonyanda zaihe kOsikem. 13 Nu Israel arire tja tja ku Josef: “Omarumbi woye ve risa ozonyanda kOsikem; indjo, mbi ku hinde ku wo.”
Nu Josef arire tja ziri na tja: “Owami ngwi!”
14 Nu ihe arire tja tja ku ye: “Twende u katare omarumbi woye kutja ve ri nawa nozonyanda, nu u kotoke okundjiraera.” Neye we mu hinda okuza korutjandja rwa Hebron.

16 Nu Josef we mu zira nai: “Me paha omarumbi wandje. Arikana, ndji raera ku ve risira ozonyanda.”
17 Nomurumendu arire tja tja: “Owo va tjinda; ami mbe ve zuva amave tja mave i kOdotan.” Nu Josef wa tezera omarumbi we, ne kevevaza kOdotan.
18 Nowo ve mu mwina kokure. Nu ngunda e hiya vaza popezu na wo va zuvasana mongumumu kutja ve mu zepe. 19 Nowo verihungirire oveni ave tja: “Tareye, omurote eye ngo weya! 20 Indjeye tu mu zepe, nu tu yumbe orurova rwe mu imwe yozondjombo, nu tu tje: ‘Eye wa ṱu i otjipuka tjokuti.’ Tjazumba tu tarere kutja oturoto twe matu yanda pi.”
21 Ruben tja zuva ihi wa vanga okuyama Josef ku wo na tja: “Atu mu zepa, kako! 22 Amu tirahi ombinḓu, nungwari mu yumbeye mondjombo ndji, ndji ri mokuti onguza. Nu amu mu tjiti otjiṋa.” Ruben wa hungirira kutja e mu yame ne mu yarure ku ihe. 23 Nu Josef tja vaza pomarumbi we, owo ve mu hukura indji ombanda onde yomaoko, 24 nave mu yumbu mondjombo ndja pwira.
25 Nu ngunda amave ri, tjimanga va muna otjimbumba tjOvaismael amave zu kOgilead. Nozongamero zawo aza kutirwa ovyomoro omuwa nomaze omerihuwa nomapya, mbyaa ve twara kOengipte. 26 Juda arire tja tja komarumbi novangu ve: “Matu mwine po tjike okuzepa omuangu wetu nokumuhoreka? 27 Ngatu mu randise kOvaismael mba, nu atu mu hihamisa; eye omuangu wetu, nonyama nombinḓu yetu.” Nomarumbi novangu ve va zuva ku ye. 28 Nu tji pe ya Ovamidian ovarandise otji ve mu nana mondjombo, nave mu randisa kovisilveri omirongo vivari kOvaismael, nowo va twara Josef kOengipte.
29 Nu Ruben tja kotoka kondjombo nu tja muna kutja Josef ke mo mondjombo, arire tja taura ozombanda ze okuraisa oruhoze rwe. 30 Eye arire tja yaruka kovangu ve na tja: “Omuzandu ke mo mondjombo! Nu hi yende pi?”
31 Nowo va toora ombanda ya Josef, nave zepa ongombo nave tjaveke ombanda ndji mombinḓu yayo. 32 Owo va tuma indji ombanda onde ku ihe nave tja: “Eṱe twe ripumu mombanda ndji. Kotji tara kutja oyomuatje woye.”
33 Neye we i zemburuka a tja: “Ii, oyo oyomuzandu wandje! Eye wa nyondororwa i otjipuka tjokuti.” 34 Jakob wa taura ozombanda ze na kutu otjipiriko okukondorokisa omavango we. Neye wa rira omuzandu we oruveze orure. 35 Ovazandu novasuko ve avehe ve ya okumuyarura omutima pehi. Nungwari wa panḓa okuyarurwa omutima pehi na tja: “Ami me riri omuzandu wandje, nga tji me pundu motjovakoke.” Ihe otja rira omuzandu we Josef. 36 Nu imba Ovamidian va karandisa Josef ku Potifar mOengipte, umwe movahongore va Farao, ngwa ri otjiuru tjovatjevere vondjuwo youhona.
