6 Kepha inzalo yakho oyizala emva kwabo izakuba ngeyakho; iyakubizwa ngegama labafowabo efeni lalabo.
7 Kepha mina ekusukeni kwami ePhadani Aramu ngafelwa nguRaheli endleleni ezweni laseKhanani, kuse yibangana ukuya e-Efrati; ngammbela khona endleleni eya e-Efrati” (eliyiBetlehema).
8 U-Israyeli wabona amadodana kaJosefa, wathi: “Ngobani laba na?”
9 UJosefa wathi kuye: “Ngamadodana ami angiphe wona lapha uNkulunkulu.”Wayesethi: “Ake uwalethe kimi, ngiwabusise.”
10 Kepha amehlo ka-Israyeli ayefiphele ngobudala, engasenakubona; wawasondeza kuye; wawanga, wawagona.
11 Wayesethi u-Israyeli kuJosefa: “Ngangingacabanganga ukuthi ngizakubona ubuso bakho; bheka, uNkulunkulu ungibonise nenzalo yakho.”
12 UJosefa wawakhipha emathangeni akhe; wakhothama, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.
