In context
18 Wakamwona kutokea mbali, na kabla hajawakaribia, wakapanga njama ya kumwua.
19 Ndugu zake wakaambiana wao kwa wao, “Tazama, mwotaji anakaribia.
20 Njoni sasa, na tumwue na kumtupa katika mojawapo ya mashimo haya. Nasi tutasema, 'Mnyama mkali amemrarua.' Nasi tutaona ndoto zake zitakuwaje.”
21 Rubeni alilisikia hilo na kumwokoa kutoka katika mikono yao. Alisema, “Tusiuondoe uhai wake.”
22 Rubeni aliwambia, “Msimwage damu. Mtupeni katika shimo hili lililopo nyikani, lakini msiweke mikono yenu juu yake” - ili kwamba aweze kumwokoa katika mikono yao na kumrudisha kwa baba yake.
23 Ikawa Yusufu alipowafikia ndugu zake, walimvua vazi lake zuri.
24 Wakamchukua na kumtupa shimoni. Shimo lilikuwa tupu bila maji.
