17. Nòtsho kuYosefu ukuthi, Khawuluxolele ukreqo lwabakhuluwa bakho, nesono sabo sokuba bekwenze into embi; ngoko khawuluxolele ukreqo lwabakhozi boThixo wooyihlo. Walila uYosefu ekuthetheni kwabo kuye.
18. Baya nabakhuluwa bakhe, baziphosa phantsi phambi kwakhe, bathi, Yabona, singabakhonzi bakho.
19. Wathi uYosefu kubo, Musani ukoyika; ndisesikhundleni sikaThixo yini na?
20. Nina nacinga ububi ngam; ke yena uThixo wacinga okulungileyo, ukuze kuthi, njengoko kwenzekileyo namhla, kusinde abantu abaninzi.
21. Ngoko musani ukoyika; ndonondla nina, nentsapho yenu. Wabathuthuzela ke, wathetha kakuhle nabo.
22. UYosefu wena eYiputa, yena nendlu kayise. UYosefu wahlala iminyaka elikhulu elinashumi-nye.
23. UYosefu wabona oonyana besesithathu isizukulwana sikaEfrayim, kwanoonyana bakaMakire, unyana kaManase, ababezalelwe emadolweni kaYosefu.
24. Wathi uYosefu kubakhuluwa bakhe, Ndiza kufa; uThixo okunene uya kunivelela, aninyuse, niphume kweli lizwe, niye ezweni abelifungele uAbraham, noIsake, noYakobi.
