Otandi gandja evi ndika koluvalo lwoye, li ninge eliko lyalwo sigo aluhe.’ ”

Efraim naManasse oye thike paamwandje mboka Reuben naSimeon. 6 Aamwoye yalwe ye ku valelwa konima yawo, naa kale yoye; mokugandja iitopolwa yevi eliko lyawo nali pitile muEfraim naManasse. 7 Sho nda li mokugaluka kuMesopotamia, onda silwa Rakel mondjila muKaanan, popepi naEfrata. Onde mu fumvike mooha dhondjila yokuEfrata.” (Efrata nena ohaku tiwa Betlehem.)
8 Jakob sho a mono aana yaJosef, okwa pula a ti: “Aanona mbano oolye?” 9 Josef okwa yamukula a ti: “Mbaka aamwandje, Kalunga e ya pele ndje muka muEgipiti.”

Kalunga ngoka e enditha ndje sigo onena,

16 Omuyengeli ngoka a hupitha ndje miiponga ayihe,

Yo naa kale ye na okakwiyu, oluvalo olwindji.”

21 Jakob okwa lombwele Josef a ti: “Ngaashi u shi wete, ondi li pokusa, ihe Kalunga ota kala nane note ke mu tembudhila kevi lyoohokulu. 22 Eyana lyokuShekem ongoyelela tandi li pe, haamwanyoko, etathapya ndyoka nda yugu Aayamori negongamwele lyandje nuutati wandje.”
