UMUTWE WA 1

Yosefu, umuhungu wa cumi na rimwe wa Yakobo na Rasheli, mwiza kandi ukundwa. Urugamba rwe rwo kurwanya ikigeragezo cyomuri Egiputa.

1 Kopi y'Isezerano rya Yosefu.

2 Agiye gupfa, ahamagara abahungu be na barumuna be, arababwira ati: -

3 Bavandimwe banjye, nimwumve Yozefu ukundwa na Isiraheli; gutegera ugutwi, bana banjye, so.

4 Nabonye mu buzima bwanjye ishyari n'urupfu, ariko sinayobye, ahubwo nakomeje ukuri - kwa Nyagasani.

5 Aba bavandimwe banjye baranyanze, ariko Uhoraho arankunda:

6 Bashakaga kunyica, ariko Imana ya ba sogokuruza yarandinze:

7 Bantaye mu rwobo, Isumbabyose yongera kundera.

8 Nagurishijwe mu bucakara, kandi Uwiteka wa bose yarandekuye:

9 Najyanywe mu bunyage, ukuboko kwe gukomeye kuntabara.

10 Nari nashonje, kandi Uhoraho ubwe yarantunze.

11 Nari jyenyine, Imana irampumuriza:

12 Nari ndwaye, Uhoraho aransura.

13 Nari muri gereza, kandi Imana yanjye yangiriye neza;

14 Mu ngoyi, arandekura;

15 Yarasebye, ansaba ikirego cyanjye;

16 Abanyamisiri bavuga nabi, arankiza;

17 Bagiriye ishyari bagenzi banjye, kandi yaranshyize hejuru.

18 Uyu mutware mukuru wa Farawo yampaye inzu ye.

19 Kandi narwanije umugore utagira isoni, ansaba kurenga kuri we; arikoImana ya Isiraheli data yankijije umuriro ugurumana.

20 Najugunywe muri gereza, narakubiswe, ndasekwa; ariko Uwiteka yampaye imbabazi, imbere y'umurinzi wa gereza.

21 Kuko Uwiteka atatererana abamutinya, haba mu mwijima, mu ngoyi, cyangwa mu makuba, cyangwa ibikenewe.

22KuberakoImanaidaterwaisoninkumuntu,cyangwa nkumwana wumuntu ntatinya, cyangwa nkumuntu wavutse ku isi ntabwo afite intege nke cyangwa ubwoba.

23 Ariko muri ibyo bintu byose arinda, kandi mu buryo butandukanye arahumuriza, nubwo umwanya muto aragenda kugira ngo agerageze umutima w'ubugingo.

24 Mu bigeragezo icumi Yanyeretse ko nemerewe, kandi muri ibyo byose nihanganye; kuberako kwihangana ari igikundiro gikomeye, kandi kwihangana bitanga ibintu byiza byinshi.

Ni kangahe umugore wo mu Misiri yanteye ubwoba ku rupfu!

Ni kangahe yampaye igihano, hanyuma akampamagara akangarukira, kandi igihe ntashakaga gufatanya na we, yarambwiye ati:

27 Uzabe umutware wanjye, n'ibiri mu nzu yanjye byose, niba ubimpaye, uzabe nka shobuja.

28 Ariko nibutse amagambo ya data, njya mu cyumba cyanjye, ndarira ndasenga Uhoraho.

29 Niyiriza ubusa muri iyo myaka irindwi, kandi nabonekeye Abanyamisiri nk'umuntu ubaho neza, kuko abasiba ku bw'Imana bahabwa ubwiza bwo mu maso.

30 Niba databuja yari kure y'urugo, sinanyoye vino; cyangwa iminsi itatu ntafata ibiryo byanjye, ariko nabiha abakene n'abarwayi.

31 Nashakiye Uwiteka hakiri kare, ndarira umugore wo mu Misiri w'i Memfisi, kuko yangiriye nabi cyane, kuko nijoro yaje aho ndi yitwaza ko ansuye.

32 Kubera ko nta mwana w'umuhungu yari afite, yiyitiriye ko mbona ko ndi umuhungu.

33 Yarampobeye nk'umuhungu, ariko sinabimenya; ariko nyuma, yashakaga kunkurura mubusambanyi.

34 Maze kubimenya, mbabajwe n'urupfu; amaze gusohoka, naje aho ndi, ndamuririra iminsi myinshi, kuko namenye uburiganya bwe n'uburiganya bwe.

35 Ndamubwira nti amagambo y'Isumbabyose, niba bishoboka ko azava mu irari rye ribi.

36 Ku bw'ivyo, akenshi yaranshimagiza n'amajambo nk'umuntu wera, kandi mu mayeri mu biganiro vyiwe ashima ubudakemwa bwanje imbere y'umugabo wiwe, mu gihe yashaka kundigata igihe twari twenyine.

37 Kuko yanshimye ku mugaragaro ko ntanduye, mu ibanga arambwira ati: Ntutinye umugabo wanjye; kuko yemeje ko ubudakemwa bwawe, kuko umuntu yakubwira ibyo atwerekeye, ntabwo yakwemera.

38 Kubera ibyo byose naryamye hasi, nsaba Imana ngo Uwiteka ankize uburiganya bwe.

39 Amaze gutsinda ikintu icyo ari cyo cyose, yongeye kundeba ansaba, kugira ngo amenye ijambo ry'Imana.

40 Arambwira ati: "Niba ushaka ko nsiga ibigirwamana byanjye, kuryamana nanjye, kandi nzemeza umugabo wanjye kuva mu bigirwamana bye, kandi tuzagendera mu mategeko na Nyagasani wawe."

41 Ndamubwira nti: Uhoraho ntabishaka. ko abamwubaha bagomba kuba bahumanye,cyangwa ngo yishimire abasambana, ahubwo mubamwegera bafite umutima wera niminwa itanduye.

42 Ariko yumvira amahoro ye, yifuza kugera ku cyifuzo cye kibi.

43 Kandi nihaye cyane kwiyiriza ubusa no gusenga, kugira ngo Uwiteka ankize.

44 Na none, ikindi gihe arambwira ati: "Niba udasambanye, nzica umugabo wanjye uburozi; kandi ujyane kuba umugabo wanjye.

45 Nanjye numvise ibyo, nkodesha imyenda yanjye, ndamubwira nti:

46 Mugore, wubahe Imana, kandi ntukore iki gikorwa kibi, kugira ngo utarimbuka; kuko mumenye rwose ko nzabwira abantu bose igikoresho cyawe.

47 Kubera iyo mpamvu, kubera ubwoba, yinginze ngo ntatangaza iki gikoresho.

48 Aragenda, ampumuriza impano, anyoherereza ibyishimo by'abana b'abantu.

49 Hanyuma, anyoherereza ibiryo bivanze n'uburozi.

50 Igihe inkone yazanye, ndareba, mbona umuntu uteye ubwoba ampa isahani inkota, mbona ko umugambi we ari uwo kundiganya.

51 Amaze gusohoka ndarira, cyangwa sinigeze ndya ibyo cyangwa ikindi kintu icyo ari cyo cyose mu biryo bye.

52 Noneho nyuma y'umunsi umwe, araza aho ndi, yitegereza ibyo kurya, arambwira ati: “Kuki utariye ibyo kurya?

53 Ndamubwira nti: Ni ukubera ko wujuje uburozi bwica; nigute wavuze ngo: Ntabwo negereye ibigirwamana, ahubwo niyegereye Uwiteka wenyine.

54 Noneho rero menya ko Imana ya data yampishuriye marayika wayo ububi bwawe, kandi nakomeje kugucira urubanza, niba bishoboka ko ushobora kubona ukihana.

55 Ariko kugira ngo mumenye ko ububi bw'abatubaha nta bubasha bubasenga basenga Imana bafite ubudakemwa dore nzabifata ndye imbere yawe.

56 Amaze kuvuga atyo, nasenze nti: Imana ya ba sogokuruza na marayika wa Aburahamu, tubane nanjye; ararya.

57 Abibonye, yikubita hasi yubamye imbere y'ibirenge byanjye, arira; ndamurera ndamugira inama.

58 Kandi yasezeranyije ko atazongera gukora ayo makosa.

59 Ariko umutima we wari ugifite ikibi, maze yitegereza uko umutego,maze asuhuza umutima cyane, acika intege, nubwo atari arwaye.

60 Umugabo we amubonye, aramubaza ati: “Kuki mu maso hawe haguye?

61 Aramubwira ati: Mfite ububabare ku mutima, kandi kuniha k'umwuka wanjye birandenga; nuko amuhumuriza utarwaye.

62 Hanyuma, aboneyeho umwanya, aranyirukira aho ndi, igihe umugabo we yari akiri hanze, arambwira ati: Nzimanika, cyangwa njugunye hejuru y'urutare, niba utaryamanye nanjye.

63 Mbonye umwuka wa Beliari uramutesha umutwe, nsenga Uhoraho, ndamubwira nti:

64 Kuki, mugore mubi, uhangayitse kandi uhungabanye, uhumye amaso ibyaha?

65 Wibuke ko uramutse wiyahuye, Asteho, inshoreke y'umugabo wawe, mukeba wawe, izakubita abana bawe, kandi uzasenya urwibutso rwawe ku isi.

66 Arambwira ati: Dore urankunda; reka ibi birampagije: mparanira ubuzima bwanjye nabana banjye, kandi ndizera ko nanjye nzishimira ibyifuzo byanjye.

67 Ariko ntiyari azi ko kubwa databuja navuze gutya, ntabwo ari we.

68 Kuberako umuntu yaguye imbere yubushake bwicyifuzo kibi akakigirwa imbata, nkuko we, ikintu cyiza cyose yumva cyerekeranye nicyo cyifuzo, aracyakira agamije icyifuzo cye kibi.

69 Ndabamenyesha rero, bana banjye, ko hari nko mu isaha ya gatandatu ubwo yavaga iwanjye; Napfukama imbere y'Uhorahoumunsi wose, ijoro ryose; nka bucya ndahaguruka, ndarira igihe gito ndasenga ngo ndekurwe.

70 Amaherezo rero, yafashe imyenda yanjye, ankurura ku gahato kugira ngo duhuze.

71 Igihe rero, nabonye ko mubusazi bwe yari afashe imyenda yanjye, ndayisize inyuma, mpunga nambaye ubusa.

72 Afata umwenda, anshinja ibinyoma, umugabo we ageze anshira muri gereza mu nzu ye; Bukeye ankubita, antuma muri gereza ya Farawo.

73 Igihe nari mu ngoyi, Umunyamisiri yarakandamijwe n'agahinda, araza yumva uko nshimira Uwiteka kandi aririmba ibisingizo mu icuraburindi, maze n'ijwi rirenga ndishima, mpimbaza Imana yanjye ko narokowe. bivuye ku cyifuzo cyifuzo cyumugore wumunyamisiri.

74 Kandi kenshi yanyoherereje ambwira ati: Emera gusohoza ibyo nifuza, nanjye nzagukura mu ngoyi yawe, kandi nzabakura mu mwijima.

75 Kandi nta nubwo nabitekerezaga.

76 Kuberako Imana ikunda uwari mu rwobo rw'ubugome ahuza kwiyiriza ubusa no kuba indakemwa, aho kuba umuntu mu byumba by'abami uhuza ibinezeza n'uburenganzira.

77 Niba umuntu abaho mu butabera, kandi akifuza icyubahiro,kandiIsumbabyose izikoari byiza kuri we, ibi arabimpa.

Ni kangahe, nubwo yari arwaye, yamanutse aho ndi atarebye inshuro nyinshi, akumva ijwi ryanjye igihe nasengaga!

79 Numvise kuniha kwe, ncecetse.

80 Kuko igihe nari mu nzu ye, ntabwo yambaraga amaboko, amabere, n'amaguru, kugira ngo ndyamane; kuberako yari mwiza cyane, yambitswe ubwiza buhebuje kugirango anshuke.

81 Uhoraho arinda ibyo yashakaga.

UMUTWE WA 2

Yosefu yibasiwe nubugambanyi bwinshi nubwenge bubi bwumugore wa Memphian. Ku mugani ushimishije wo guhanura,reba umurongo wa 73-74.

1 Murabona rero bana banjye, burya ibintu bikomeye kwihangana bikora, no gusenga hamwe no kwiyiriza ubusa.

2 Namwe rero, nimukurikiza gukiranuka no kwezwa mukwihangana nogusenga,hamwe nokwiyiriza ubusa mu mutima, Uwiteka azabana muri mwe kuko akunda ubudakemwa.

3 Kandi aho Usumbabyose atuye hose, nubwo ishyari, uburetwa, cyangwa gusebanya bigwirira umuntu, Uwiteka ubamo muri we, kubera ubudakemwa bwe

ntabwo amukiza ikibi gusa, ahubwo anamushyira hejuru nkanjye.

4 Kuberako muburyo bwose umuntu azamurwa, haba mubikorwa, cyangwa mumagambo, cyangwa mubitekerezo.

5 Bavandimwe banjye bari bazi uko data ankunda, ariko sinigeze nishyira hejuru mu bitekerezo byanjye: nubwo nari umwana, natinyaga Imana mu mutima wanjye; kuko nari nzi ko ibintu byose bizashira.

6 Kandi sinihagurukiye kubarwanya mbigambiriye, ahubwo nubashye abavandimwe banjye; kandi kububaha, niyo nagurishaga, nirinze kubwira Ishimayeli ko nari umuhungu wa Yakobo, umuntu ukomeye kandi ukomeye.

7 Namwe bana banjye, nimutinye Imana mu mirimo yanyu yose imbere yawe, kandi mwubahe abavandimwe banyu.

8 Kuko umuntu wese ukora amategeko y'Uwiteka azakundwa na We.

9 Igihe nageraga kuri Indocolpitae hamwe n'Abisirayeli, barambajije bati:

10 Uri imbata? Navuze ko nari imbata yavukiye murugo, kugirango ntagira isoni abavandimwe banjye.

11 Imfura muri bo irambwira iti: Nturi imbata, kuko isura yawe irabigaragaza.

12 Ariko navuze ko nari imbata yabo.

13 Tugeze muri Egiputa baramparanira, ni nde muri bo wagura akantwara.

14Ni cyocyatumyembona koaribyiza kongumamuri Egiputa hamwe n'umucuruzi w'ubucuruzi bwabo, kugeza igihe bazagarukira bazana ibicuruzwa.

15 Uhoraho yangiriye neza imbere y'umucuruzi, anshingira inzu ye.

16 Imana imuha umugisha muburyo bwanjye, imwongererazahabuna feza nomubakozi bomurugo.

17 Kandi nabanye na we amezi atatu n'iminsi itanu.

18 Muri icyo gihe, umugore wa Memfiya, muka Pentephiri, amanuka mu igare, afite ishema ryinshi, kuko yari yarumvise inkone ze.

19 Abwira umugabo we ko umucuruzi yari umukire akoresheje Umuheburayo ukiri muto, kandi bavuga ko byanze bikunze yibwe mu gihugu cya Kanani.

20 Noneho rero, nimutange ubutabera, mujyane urubyiruko mu rugo rwanyu; Imana y'Abaheburayo nayo izaguhe umugisha, kuko ubuntu buva mu ijuru buri kuri we.

21 Pentephris yemeza amagambo ye, ategeka umucuruzi kuzana, aramubwira ati:

22 Ibi ni ibiki numva bikwerekeyeho, ko wiba abantu mu gihugu cya Kanani, ukabagurisha imbata?

23 Ariko umucuruzi yikubita imbere y'ibirenge bye, aramwinginga ati: "Ndagusabye databuja, sinzi icyo uvuga."

24 Pentephiri aramubaza ati: “Noneho umugaragu w'Abaheburayo ari he?

25 Na we ati: Ishimayeli yampaye inshingano kugeza igihe bazagarukira.

26 Ariko ntiyamwemera, ahubwo amutegeka kumwambura no gukubitwa.

27 Amaze gutsimbarara kuri aya magambo, Pentephris yaravuze ati: Reka urubyiruko ruzane.

28 Igihe ninjizwaga, nunamiye Pentekure kuko yari uwa gatatu mu ntera y'abatware ba Farawo.

29 Arantandukanya na we arambwira ati 'uri imbata cyangwa umudendezo?

30 Nanjye nti: Umugaragu.

31 Na we ati: Ninde?

32 Nanjye nti: Ishimayeli '.

33 Na we ati: Nigute wabaye imbata yabo?

34 Nanjye nti: Banguze mu gihugu cya Kanani.

35 Arambwira ati: Ni ukuri urabeshya; ako kanya, antegeka kunyambura no gukubitwa.

36 Noneho, umugore wa Memfiya yandebaga mu idirishya igihe nakubitwaga, kuko inzu ye yari hafi, aramutumaho ati:

37 Urubanza rwawe ntirurenganya; kuko uhana umuntu wigenga wibwe, nkaho arengana.

38 Kandi nta gihindutse ku magambo yanjye, nubwo nakubiswe, antegeka ko mfungwa, kugeza ubwo yavuze ko ba nyir'umuhungu bagomba kuza.

39 Umugore abwira umugabo we ati: "Ni iki gitumye ufunga umwana wajyanywe bunyago kandi wavutse ari umunyururu, wagira ngo arekurwe, agategerezwa?

40 Kuko yifuzaga kundeba kubera icyifuzo cy'icyaha, ariko sinari nzi ibyo bintu byose.

41 Aramubwira ati: "Abanyamisiri ntibamenyereye gufata iby'abandi mbere yo gutanga ibimenyetso.

42 Ibyo rero yavuze ku byerekeye umucuruzi; ariko naho umuhungu, agomba gufungwa.

43 Nyuma y'iminsi ine na makumyabiri haza Ishimayeli; kuko bari bumvise ko data Yakobo arira cyane kuri njye.

44 Baraza barambwira bati: "Nigute wavuze ko uri imbata?" dore ko twamenye ko uri umwana w'umuntu ukomeye mu gihugu cya Kanani, kandi so aracyakuririra mu mwenda no mu ivu.

45 Numvise amara yanjye arashonga, umutima wanjye urashonga, nifuza cyane kurira, ariko nirinda ko ntagomba gukorwa n'isoni n'abavandimwe banjye.

46 Ndababwira nti: Sinzi, ndi imbata.

47 Noneho rero, bafashe inama yo kundigurisha, kugira ngo ntaboneka mu maboko yabo.

48 Kuberako batinyaga data, kugira ngo ataza kubicaho.

49 Kuko bari bumvise ko yari umunyambaraga n'Imana hamwe n'abantu.

50 Umucuruzi arababwira ati: Nkura mu rubanza rwa Pentifiri.

51 Baraza baransaba, baravuga bati: Vuga ko watuguze amafaranga, natwe azatubohora.

52 Umugore wa Memfiya abwira umugabo we ati: Gura urubyiruko; kuko ndumva, yavuze ko, bamugurisha.

53 Ako kanya yohereza inkone ku Ishimayeli, abasaba kungurisha.

54 Ariko kubera ko inkone itemeye kungura ku giciro cyabo, aragaruka, ababwira nyirabuja ko basabye umugaragu wabo igiciro kinini.

55 Yohereza undi inkone, ati: "Nubwo basaba mina ebyiri, ubahe, ntuzigame zahabu; gura umuhungu gusa, hanyuma unzanire.

56 Inkone rero ijya kubaha ibice mirongo inani bya zahabu, aranyakira; ariko kumugore wumunyamisiri ati natanze ijana.

57 Kandi nubwo nari mbizi naracecetse, kugira ngo inkone itagira isoni.

58 Murabona rero bana banjye, mbega ibintu bikomeye nihanganiye ntagomba gutera isoni abavandimwe banjye.

59 None rero, nimukundane, kandi nimwihangane mwihangane amakosa yawe.

60 Kuberako Imana yishimira ubumwe bwabavandimwe, kandi igamije umutima wishimira urukundo.

61 Abavandimwe banjye bageze muri Egiputa bamenya ko nabasubije amafaranga yabo, ariko sinabahakana, ndabahumuriza.

62 Nyuma y'urupfu rwa Yakobo data, narabakunze cyane, kandi ibyo yategetse byose nabakoreye byinshi.

63 Nabasabye kutababara mu tuntu duto; kandi ibyari mu biganza byanjye byose ndabibaha.

64 Abana babo bari abana banjye, n'abana banjye ni abagaragu babo; kandi ubuzima bwabo bwari ubuzima bwanjye, kandi imibabaro yabo yose yari imibabaro yanjye, kandi uburwayi bwabo bwose bwari ubumuga bwanjye.

65 Igihugu cyanjye cyari igihugu cyabo, kandi inama zabo ni inama zanjye.

66 Kandi sinishyize hejuru muri bo ubwibone kubera ubwiza bwanjye bwo ku isi, ariko nari muri bo nk'umwe mu bato.

67 Niba rero, mugendera mu mategeko ya Nyagasani, bana banjye, azabashyira hejuru aho, kandi azaguha imigisha myiza iteka ryose.

68 Kandi nihagira ushaka kugukorera ibibi, mumugirire neza kandi umusengere, muzarokorwa Uwiteka ibibi byose.

69 Erega, urabona ko kubera kwicisha bugufi kwanjye no kwihangana kwanjye, najyanye umugore w'umukobwa w'umutambyi wa Heliopolis.

70 Impano ijana za zahabu nahawe na we, Uwiteka arabankorera.

71 Kandi yampaye ubwiza nk'ururabyo rurenze ubwiza bwa Isiraheli; Kandi yarandinze kugeza mu za bukuru n'imbaraga n'ubwiza, kuko nabaye nka Yakobo muri byose.

72 Kandi bana banjye, nimwumve iyerekwa nabonye.

73 Hariho ibiceri cumi na bibiri bigaburira: icyenda bikwirakwizwa bwa mbere ku isi, kimwe na bitatu.

74 Nabonye ko kuva i Buyuda havuka isugi yambaye umwenda w'igitare, kandi muri we avuka ari umwana w'intama, utagira ikizinga; naho ibumoso bwe hari

nk'intare; inyamaswa zose ziriruka zimurwanya, umwana w'intama urabatsinda, urabatsemba ukandagira munsi y'ibirenge.

75 Abamarayika n'abantu barishima, igihugu cyose.

76 Kandi ibyo bizasohora mu gihe cyabyo, mu minsi y'imperuka.

77 None rero, bana banje, nimukurikize amategeko ya Yehova, mwubahe Lewi n'u Buyuda; kuko muri bo hazavamo Umwana w'intama w'Imana, ukuraho ibyaha by'isi, ukiza abanyamahanga bose na Isiraheli.

78 Kuko ubwami bwe ari ubwami bw'iteka, butazashira; ariko ubwami bwanjye muri mwe buzarangira ari inyundo y'indorerezi, izuba rimaze kubura.

79 Kuko nzi ko nyuma y'urupfu rwanjye Abanyamisiri bazakubabaza, ariko Imana izakwihorera, ikuzana mu byo yasezeranije ba sogokuruza.

80 Ariko muzajyana amagufwa yanjye; kuko amagufwa yanjye azajyanwa aho, Uwiteka azabana nawe mu mucyo, kandi Beliari azaba mu mwijima hamwe n'Abanyamisiri.

81 Ujyane Asenath nyoko kuri Hippodrome, kandi hafi ya Rasheli nyoko wawe aramushyingura.

82 Amaze kuvuga ibyo, arambura ibirenge, apfa ashaje.

83 Abisiraheli bose baramuririra, na Egiputa yose, bafite icyunamo kinini.

84 Abisirayeli bava muri Egiputa, bajyana amagufwa ya Yozefu, bamushyingura i Heburoni hamwe na ba sekuruza, imyaka y'ubuzima bwe ni imyaka ijana n'icumi.
