Induna yabaphathizitsha yayisimlandisa uJosefa iphupho layo , yathi kuye: Ephusheni lami kwakukhona umvini phambi kwami;

Masivuke ekuseni, siye ezivinini, sibone uma umvini uqhakazile , nezimbali zawo uma zivulekile, namapomegranati uma ekhahlele. Lapho ngiyakukunika uthando lwami.

Ngokuba umvini wab o ungumvini waseSodoma nowamasimu aseGomora; izithelo zabo ziyizithelo zenyongo, amahlukuzo abo amunyu;

Wathi kubo: Ngenzeni mina, uma kulinganiswa nokwenu na ? Ukukhothoza kwabakwa-Efrayimi akukuhle yini kunokuvuna umvini kwama-Abiyezeri na?

Yayisithi imithi kuwo umvini: Woza wena, ube yinkosi yethu.

Umvini wathi kuyo : Ngiyakuliyeka yini iwayini lami elithokozisa onkulunkulu nabantu, ngiye ngintengantenge phezu kwemithi, na?

Sichithile umvini wami , saxebula umkhiwane wami ; siwuxhozile nokuwuxhoza, sawulahla, amagatsha awo sawenza aba mhlophe.

Umvini ubunile, imikhiwane iwumile; imipomegranati, namasundu, nemi- apula, nemithi yonke yasendle kubunile , ngokuba intokozo ibunile phakathi kwamadodana abantu.

Wakhipha umvini eGibithe, waxosha abezizwe, watshala wona.

Ngalokho ngiyakukhalela umvini waseSibim a njengokukhala kweJazeri , ngikumanzise, Heshiboni, ngezinyembezi zami, nawe Elehale, ngokuba phezu kwezithelo zakho nokuvuna kwakho kuwile ukumemeza kwempi.

Iwayini elisha liyalila , umvini uyahhuma, bonke ababethokoza ngenhliziyo bayabubula.

Ngokuba kuyakuba khona imbewu yokuthula ; umvini uyakuthela izithelo zawo, umhlabathi uveze ukudla kwawo, amazulu anike amazolo awo, ngenze ukuba insali yalaba bantu idle ifa lazo zonke lezi zinto.

Umkhiwane, bazalwane ba mi, ungaba namandla yini okuthela izithelo zomnqumo, noma umvini amakhiwane na ? Amanzi kasawoti angeveze amnandi. Ukuhlakanipha okuvela phezulu

Ingelosi yayisiliphonsa isikela layo emhlabeni , yawuvuna umvini womhlaba, yawuphonsa esikhamweni sewa yini esikhulu solaka lukaNkulunkulu.
