Mwanzo 47 : 19 Genesis chapter 47 verse 19

Kwa nini tufe mbele ya macho yako, sisi na nchi yetu? Utununue sisi na nchi yetu kwa chakula, na sisi na nchi yetu tutakuwa watumwa wa Farao; kisha utupe mbegu, tuishi wala tusife, wala nchi yetu isipotee.

Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won't be desolate."
