Njala ekaba enakaniiye kimui mu nsi ya Kanaani̱. 
Obu baamali̱ye kuliya byokuliya ebi baali baghu̱li̱ye e Mi̱si̱li̱, esebo Yakobbo aabaghila ati, “Mutodhe mukuukeyo, mutughulile byokuliya binji.” 
Yu̱da aamughila ati, “Musaasa mu̱lemi̱ wa Mi̱si̱li̱ akalahiilila kimui ati tutatodha kukuuka ewe tutali na mu̱ghenji̱ waatu Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱. 
Kaakuba otutuma na mu̱ghenji̱ waatu oghu, tukughenda tukughulile byokuliya. 
Bhaatu otaatu̱tu̱mi̱ye naye, tatukughendayo, nanga musaasa oli̱ akatughila ati tutatodha kukuukayo tutali na mu̱ghenji̱ waatu oghu.” 
Yakobbo aababu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Ekyaleki̱ye mwamughambila ngoku muli na mu̱ghenji̱ waanu onji mbiki kundeetela kabhi aka koona?” 
Baamukuukamu bati, “Musaasa oli̱ aatu̱bu̱u̱i̱ye munu bintu bikwetʼo ka yaatu. Kandi aatu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ati, ‘Eseenu̱we analiyo? Ti̱ muli na mu̱ghenji̱ waanu onji?’ Naatu twamukuukamu bi̱bu̱u̱li̱yo biye. Buuye etu̱we twangumani̱ye tu̱ti̱ya ngoku angughila ati, ‘Muleete mu̱ghenji̱ waanu hani’?” 
Du̱mbi̱ Yu̱da aaghila ese wee Yakobbo ati, “Oleke si̱ye ngende na mu̱ghenji̱ waatu oghu niikuwo njala etatwita, etu̱we hamui na baana baatu. 
Si̱ye neenini nkumulinda, ntaaku̱u̱ki̱ye naye hani kandi nimuleeta mu maaso ghaawe, ali̱i̱si̱ye wasoghosa. 
Nguli tutaakeesekeeleuwe hani, twangubaaye tu̱ghendi̱ye kandi tukuuka milundi ebili.” 
I̱saaleeli̱ esebo aabaghila ati, “Kilakaba kili kitiyo, mukole muti: mute mu gu̱ni̱ya syanu bintu bisemeleeye kimui bya mu kyalo kyatu, niikuwo mubitwalile musaasa oghu nga bisembo. Mutwale mubaji̱ ghukee bakughilaghamu miila, bwoki bukee, bi̱lu̱ngi̱yo bya mukubi bikee, bubbani̱ bukee, binyobuwa bikee hamui na bi̱ghu̱ma bikee bya biti ebi tukuliyagha. 
Mughende na siliva eghi ekani̱ye kusaali̱ya eghi mwadu̱bhi̱ye kughenda nayo milundi ebili, nanga muli na ku̱ku̱u̱ki̱yayo siliva eghi mwasangi̱ye mu gu̱ni̱ya syanu, nanga kedha ekaba nsobi̱. 
Mutwale na mu̱ghenji̱ waanu oghu niikuwo mughende hamui ewaa musaasa oghu. 
Ti̱ Luhanga wa Bu̱toki̱ Bwona abaghilile ngughuma mu maaso ghaa musaasa oghu, niikuwo agubhe kuleka mu̱ghenji̱ waanu oli hamui na Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱ bakuuke hamui naanu. Niikuwo si̱ye ndakaba ndi wakufweluwa baana banje boona, oleke mbafeeluwe.” 
Du̱mbi̱ basaasa aba baatwala bisembo, na siliva esaaye milundi ebili eghi baadu̱bhi̱ye kughenda nayo, hamui na Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱. Banguwa baaghenda Mi̱si̱li̱, beetwala mu maaso ghaa Yojeefu̱. 
Obu Yojeefu̱ aaboone bali na Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱, aalaghila mukulu wa basyana be ati, “Otwale basaasa aba mu numba yanje, osale kisolo kandi oteeke byokuliya, bakuliya nanje saaha mukaagha sya ntangaali̱.” 
Musaasa oghu aakola ngoku Yojeefu̱ aamulaghiiye, aatwala basaasa aba mu numba. 
Bhaatu basaasa aba boobahila kimui obu baabatwete mu numba ya Yojeefu̱. Baatandika kweli̱li̱kana bati, “Baatu̱leeti̱ye hani haabwa siliva eghi twaku̱u̱ki̱yeyo nayo mulundi ghwa ku̱du̱bha. Musaasa oni akubbala kutwegimba, atukwatile mu numba, atusaali̱ye maani̱, niikuwo atwale ndogooi̱ syatu kandi atufoole basyana be.” 
Du̱mbi̱ baaghenda ewaa mukulu wa basyana baa Yojeefu̱, baatandika ku̱bu̱gha naye banaamiliiye haa mulyango ghwa numba ya Yojeefu̱ mbaghila bati, 
“Mukama waatu, tukadu̱bha twasa hani kughula byokuliya. 
Bhaatu obu twahi̱ki̱ye hambali twalaaliiye, ntwasambuula gu̱ni̱ya syatu, bu̱li̱ muntu aasangaanamu siliva eghi aali aasi̱ye kughulamu byokuliya, enalimu. Ti̱ twatodhi̱ye twasa nayo. 
Kandi twasi̱ye na siliva enji kughula byokuliya dhee. Bhaatu tatumani̱ye oghu akata siliva eghi mu gu̱ni̱ya syatu bbaa.” 
Musaasa oghu aabakuukamu ati, “Eki kileke kubatu̱ntu̱li̱ya. Luhanga waanu kandi Luhanga wa eseenu̱we aabahaaye etunga mu gu̱ni̱ya syanu, si̱ye nkatunga siliva yaanu.” Du̱mbi̱ aatwesi̱ya Si̱mi̱yooni̱, aamuleeta hambali bali. 
Mukulu wa basyana oghu, aabataahi̱ya mu numba ya Yojeefu̱, aabaha maasi ghaa kunaaba mu maghulu kandi aaha na ndogooi̱ syabo byokuliya. 
Obu baamali̱ye ku̱u̱ghu̱wa ngoku bakuliya hamui na Yojeefu̱, du̱mbi̱ baata haai bisembo bya kumuha naaki̱dhi̱ye. 
Obu Yojeefu̱ aasi̱ye e ka, baamuha bisembo ebi baali bamutwaliiye kandi baagomba hansi mu maaso ghe. 
Aabaghila ati, “Muli mu̱ti̱ya, na musaasa mukulu eseenu̱we ali ati̱ya? Buuye anabʼo?” 
Baamukuukamu bati, “Mu̱syana waawe eseetu̱we anabʼo kandi aliyo kulungi.” Du̱mbi̱ baatodha baagomba hansi ku̱mu̱hu̱ti̱ya. 
Obu aabaloli̱ye, naabona waani̱na wee Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱, du̱mbi̱ aababu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Oni niiye muto waanu mwaghambagha?” Du̱mbi̱ aaghila ati, “Luhanga akughilile ngughuma mutabani̱ wanje.” 
Du̱mbi̱ Yojeefu̱ aakwatuwa kisa haabwa kubona waani̱na wee Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱, aalu̱ghʼo bukee, aaghenda abbala hambali akulilila. Aataaha mu kisiika kiye, aalililayo. 
Obu aamali̱ye kunaaba haali̱i̱so, aatuwayo, du̱mbi̱ aaghila mukulu wa baheeleli̱ya be ati, “Otuuhulile byokuliya.” 
Baamuha biye enkaha, na baghenji̱ be byabo bonkaha, hamui na Banami̱si̱li̱ abaabaghʼo byabo bonkaha, nanga bwile obu Banami̱si̱li̱ tabaaliyagha hamui na Bahebbulaayo, nanga kyabaagha nga kihali̱yo. 
Baghenji̱ be aba baasitama mu maaso ghe ku̱lu̱ghi̱i̱li̱la haa mukulu ku̱hi̱ki̱ya haa muto, baalolana haali̱i̱so, ti̱ baakala basweki̱ye. 
Obu baatandi̱ki̱ye kubaha byokuliya ku̱lu̱gha haa meeja ya Yojeefu̱, ebya Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱ byakanila kimui kusaali̱ya bya baghenji̱ be milundi etaano. Du̱mbi̱ baaliya kandi baanuwa na Yojeefu̱, batali na kweyungilila kwona.
