Mose 1 40
1 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Egipte fia ƒe ahakula kple aboloƒola da vo ɖe woƒe aƒetɔ ŋu.
Emva kwesikhathi esithile umphathinkezo lomphekizinkwa wenkosi yaseGibhithe bayikhuba inkosi yabo, inkosi yaseGibhithe.
2 Farao do dɔmedzoe ɖe dɔwɔla eve siawo, ahakulawo ƒe amegã kple aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã ŋu,
UFaro wayezizondele izikhulu zakhe zombili, umphathinkezo omkhulu lomphekizinkwa omkhulu,
3 eye wòlé wo ame eveawo de gaxɔ si me Yosef nɔ le Potifar, ame si nye fiaŋumewo ƒe amegã la ƒe mɔ me.
wabaphosela entolongweni eyayisendlini kandunankulu wabalindi, lapho uJosefa ayevalelwe khona.
4 Wonɔ afi ma eteƒe didi, eye Potifar ɖoe na Yosef be wòakpɔ wo dzi.
Indunankulu yabalindi yabanikela kuJosefa, wabalawula. Kwathi sebehlale entolongweni okwesikhathi esithile,
5 Le zã aɖe me la, ame eve siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, fia ƒe ahakula kple abolomela ku drɔ̃e vovovowo. Drɔ̃e ɖe sia ɖe kple egɔmeɖeɖe.
ngulowo wamadoda la amabili, umphathinkezo lomphekizinkwa, abenkosi yaseGibhithe, ababevalelwe baphupha amaphupho ngabusuku bunye, kwathi yilelo iphupho laba lengcazelo yalo.
6 Esi ŋu ke la, Yosef kpɔ be wolé blanui.
Kwathi uJosefa efika kubo kusisa ekuseni, wabona bebunile.
7 Yosef bia wo be, “Nu ka tututue le mia wɔm?”
Wasezibuza izikhulu zikaFaro ezazisentolongweni kanye laye endlini yenkosi yakhe wathi, “Kungani ubuso benu bubunile kanje lamuhla na?”
8 Woɖo eŋu be, “Mí ame evea míeku drɔ̃e le zã si va yi la me, ke ame aɖeke mele afi sia aɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme na mí o.” Yosef gblɔ na wo be, “Mawue ɖea drɔ̃e gɔme; ke milĩ drɔ̃eawo nam kpɔ.”
Baphendula bathi, “Sobabili siphuphile, kodwa kakho ongasichasisela amaphupho ethu.” Ngakho uJosefa wasesithi kubo, “Izingcazelo kakusizikaNkulunkulu na? Ngitshelani amaphupho enu.”
9 Ale ahakulawo ƒe amegã la lĩ eƒe drɔ̃e la na Yosef. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Mekpɔ wainka aɖe le ŋgɔnye le nye drɔ̃e la me,
Umphathinkezo omkhulu wamtshela uJosefa ngephupho lakhe. Wathi kuye, “Ephutsheni lami ngibone isihlahla sevini siphambi kwami,
10 eye alɔ etɔ̃ nɔ wainka la ŋu. Esi wode asi dzedze kple seƒoƒo me ko la, woƒe tsetsewo de asi ɖiɖi me.
lelovini lilengatsha ezintathu. Lonela ukuhluma lahle laqhakaza, amaxha alo ahle avuthwa aba yizithelo ezivuthiweyo.
11 Melé Farao ƒe ahakplu ɖe asi, ale megbe waintsetseawo, eye mefia wo ɖe kplu la me hetsɔ na fia la be wòano.”
Inkezo kaFaro ibisesandleni sami, ngawathatha amagrebisi ngawakhamela enkezweni kaFaro ngamqhubela esandleni sakhe.”
12 Yosef gblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wo drɔ̃e la gɔme. Alɔdze etɔ̃awo fia ŋkeke etɔ̃!
UJosefa wathi kuye, “Nanku elikutshoyo. Amagatsha amathathu yizinsuku ezintathu.
13 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao aɖe wò tso gaxɔ me, eye wòana nàgayi wò dɔ dzi abe ahakula ene.
Phakathi kwensuku ezintathu uFaro uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho akubisele esikhundleni sakho, njalo uzayibeka inkezo kaFaro esandleni sakhe njengalokhu owawuvele ukwenza usesengumphathinkezo yakhe.
14 Ne ègatrɔ yi wò dɔ me, eye mi kple Farao dome gava nyo la, meɖe kuku na wò be nàve nunye, aɖo ŋku dzinye na Farao be wòaɖem le gaxɔ me,
Kodwa nxa konke sekulungile ungikhumbule, ungenzele umusa; ungikhulumele kuFaro ukuze ngiphume kule intolongo.
15 elabena woƒlem dzoe tso nye amewo, Hebritɔwo dome; kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, meva le gaxɔ me le afi sia le esime nyemewɔ naneke si dze na gaxɔmenɔnɔ o.”
Ngoba ngasuswa ngamandla elizweni lamaHebheru, futhi lapha kangenzanga lutho olufanele ukuthi ngifakwe entolongweni.”
16 Esi aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã kpɔ be nya nyui le drɔ̃e gbãtɔ ƒe gɔmeɖeɖe me la, eya hã lĩ eƒe drɔ̃e la na Yosef hegblɔ be, “Le nye drɔ̃ekuku me la, melé abolokusi etɔ̃ ɖe ta;
Kwathi umphekizinkwa omkhulu ebona ukuthi uJosefa wayenike ingcazelo emnandi, wathi kuJosefa, “Lami njalo ngiphuphile: Phezu kwekhanda lami bekulezitsha zesinkwa ezintathu.
17 abolo ƒomevi vovovowo le kusi edzitɔ me na Farao, ke xeviwo va ɖu wo keŋkeŋ.”
Esitsheni esiphezulu bekulemihlobo yonke yalokho okubhekhelwe uFaro, kodwa izinyoni zazilokhu zisidlala esitsheni sisekhanda lami.”
18 Yosef gblɔ nɛ be, “Drɔ̃e la gɔmee nye be kusi etɔ̃awo fia ŋkeke etɔ̃.
UJosefa wathi, “Nanku elikutshoyo. Izitsha ezintathu zinsuku ezintathu.
19 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao atso ta le nuwò, ahe wò ɖe ati ŋu, eye xeviwo aɖu wò lã.”
Phakathi kwensuku ezintathu uFaro uzaliphakamisa ikhanda lakho akulengise esihlahleni. Izinyoni zizakudla inyama yakho.”
20 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao ɖu eƒe dzigbezã, eye wòɖo kplɔ gã aɖe na eŋumewo kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo. Ena wokplɔ ahakula la kple aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã la tso gaxɔ me vɛ.
Ilanga lesithathu laliyisikhumbuzo sokuzalwa kukaFaro, ngakho wenzela izikhulu zakhe idili. Waphakamisa amakhanda amabili, elomphathinkezo omkhulu lelomphekizinkwa omkhulu phambi kwezikhulu zakhe:
21 Tete wògatsɔ ahakulawo ƒe amegã ƒe dɔ nɛ;
Wabuyisela umphathinkezo esikhundleni sakhe, waphinda njalo ukubeka inkezo esandleni sikaFaro,
22 ke etso kufia na aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã ya be woatɔ eƒe ŋutilã ɖe ati nu abe ale si Yosef gblɔe do ŋgɔ tututu ene.
kodwa walengisa umphekizinkwa omkhulu, kwaba njengoba uJosefa wayetshilo kubo ekubachasiseleni kwakhe.
23 Ke Farao ƒe ahakulawo ƒe amegã la ŋlɔ Yosef be enumake, eye megabua eŋu kura o.
Kodwa umphathinkezo omkhulu kasamkhumbulanga uJosefa; wakhohlwa ngaye.
