3 Jakob okwa li e hole Josef e vule oyana ayehe, oshoka Josef okwe mu valelwa muukulupe. Okwe mu tungile ohema onde yi na omaako omale. 4 Aamwahe sho ya mono kutya he oku hole Josef e ya vule, oye mu tondo yo inaa popya we naye oohapu dhombili.
5 Esiku limwe Josef okwa lala ondjodhi. Sho e yi hokololele aamwahe, oye mu tondo noku mu tondelela. 6 Okwa ti kuyo: “Pulakeneni ondjodhi ndjoka nda yaguma. 7 Otwa lyeni mepya atuhe tatu mangeni iihampi yiilya. Oshihampi shandje osha thikama po e tashi kala shu ukilila. Iihampi yeni oye shi gongalele e tayi inyongamene kusho.”
8 Aamwahe oya pula ya ti: “Oto dhiladhila, to ka ninga omukwaniilwa u tu pangele?” Oyo noye mu tondele oondjodhi dhe noohapu dhe shi vule shito.
9 Josef okwa lalulula ondjodhi ishewe e te yi hokololele aamwahe ta ti: “Onda lalulula ondjodhi ndi wete etango, omwedhi noonyothi omulongo nayimwe tayi inyongamene kungame.”
10 Okwa hokololele wo he ondjodhi, nahe okwe mu ganda ta ti: “Oondjodhi ndono odha tya ngiini? Oto dhiladhila ano, nyoko, aamwaho nangame tatu ya e tatu ku inyongamene?”
11 Aamwahe yaJosef oye mu sile efupa, ihe he okwa pungula oshinima shika momwenyo gwe noku shi dhiladhila.
Josef ta landwa po nota falwa kuEgipiti
12 Esiku limwe, manga aamwahe yaJosef ya li kohambo kuShekem kiimuna yahe, 13 Jakob okwa lombwele Josef ta ti: “Onda hala ndi ku tume kuShekem, nkoka ku na aamwaho taa litha iimuna.”
Josef okwa yamukula a ti: “Otandi yi.”
14 He okwa ti: “Inda ko, u ka tale, ngele aamwaho oye li nawa, niimuna ngele oyi li nawa; ngoye u galuke u ye u lombwele ndje.” Osho ngaaka he e mu tumu okuza kolusilu lwaHebron.

17 Omulumentu okwa yamukula ta ti: “Oya tembuka po nale mpaka. Ondu uvile taa ti, otaa yi kuDotan.” Josef okwa landula aamwahe e te ya adha kuDotan.
18 Sho ye mu mono e li kokule, manga inaa thika kuyo, oye mu uvanene monanguwi, ye mu dhipage. 19 Oya lombwelathana ya ti: “Omumentu gwoondjodhi oye ngwiyaka te ya. 20 Ileni tu mu dhipageni tse tu umbile omudhimba gwe momuthima gwa pwina e tatu ti, oshilikama she mu lya po. Nena otatu tala, ngele oondjodhi dhe otadhi tsu.”
21 Reuben okwe ya uvu nokwa kambadhala okuhupitha Josef e ta ti: “Inatu mu dhipageni. 22 Natu mu umbileni ashike momuthima ngwiyaka gwomombuga, ihe inatu mu monitha oshiponga.” Okwa popi ngaaka, oshoka a li a dhiladhila oku mu hupitha miikaha yawo, ye e mu tume kuhe. 23 Josef sho a thiki kaamwahe oye mu hula ohema ye onde yi na omaako omale. 24 Nena oye mu kutha po e taye mu umbile momuthima gwa pwina.
25 Manga ya kuutumba ya lye, ohaluka oya mono osheendo shAaismaeli taa zi kuGilead yu uka kuEgipiti. Oongamelo dhawo odha li dha humbata iizimba nomaka ga nika nawa gomaludhi gi ili nogi ili. … ohaluka oya mono osheendo shAaismaeli taa zi kuGilead yu uka kuEgipiti. 26 Juda okwa ti kaamwahe: “Otatu likola shike, nge tatu dhipaga omumwatate e tatu holeke ombinzi ye? 27 Natu mu landithii po kAaismaeli. Nena itatu iyetele nando oshiponga; nokuli oye omukwetu, onyama yetu nombinzi yetu.” Aamwahe oya zimine, 28 nosho aahalithi Aamidiana ya thiki puyo, oya hili mo Josef momuthima e taye mu landa po iimaliwa iisiliveli omilongo mbali kAaismaeli, mboka ye mu fala kuEgipiti.
29 Reuben sho a yi komuthima noina adha ko Josef, okwa tuula oonguwo dhe moluhodhi. 30 Okwe ya kaamwahe e ta ti: “Omunona ke mo! Otandi ningi ngiini?”
31 Oya dhipaga oshikombo e taa yaya onguwo yaJosef mombinzi yasho. 32 Oya kutha onguwo ye e taye yi tumu kuhe taa ti: “Otwe yi toola. Yi tala nawa, ngele oyomumwoye nenge aawe.”
33 He okwe yi dhimbulula e ta ti: “Eeno shili, onguwo oyomumwandje ndji! Oshilikama she mu lya po! Josef a lika, a tuulagulwa po!” 34 Jakob okwa tuula oonguwo dhe moluhodhi. Okwa lili omwana ethimbo ele. 35 Oyana aamati ayehe naakadhona oye ya oku mu hupulutha, ihe okwa tindi okutalalekwa e ta ti: “Aawe, otii ka kulukila muusi komumwandje tandi mu lili.” Osho ngaa a tsikile okulila omwana.
36 Aamidiana oye mu landitha po naPotifar, elenga lyomukwaniilwa gwaEgipiti, omukuluntu gwaalangeli yuuwa.
