1 O ruo mgbe afọ abụọ gasịrị, Fero rọrọ nrọ hụ onwe ya ka o guzo nʼakụkụ mmiri Naịl.
Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka emibili egcweleyo uFaro waphupha; khangela-ke, emi emfuleni.
2 Nʼebe ahụ, ọ hụrụ ehi asaa ndị si nʼosimiri Naịl na-apụta. Ehi ndị a buru ibu, maa mma. Ahụ ha na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ. Ha pụtara, bido ịta nri nʼetiti ahịhịa riidi.
Khangela-ke, emfuleni kwakhuphuka amankomokazi ayisikhombisa, ekhangeleka emahle, enonile enyameni; adla emihlangeni.
3 Nʼatụfughị oge, ehi asaa ọzọ soro ha nʼazụ sikwa nʼosimiri Naịl na-apụta. Ma ehi ndị a tara ahụ nke ukwuu. Ha bụ nnọọ ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ, jọọ njọ ile anya. Ha bịara guzo nʼakụkụ ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu.
Khangela-ke, amanye amankomokazi ayisikhombisa akhuphuka emfuleni emva kwawo, ekhangeleka kubi, ecakile enyameni; ema eduze lamankomokazi ekhunjini lomfula.
4 Mgbe ahụ, ehi ndị a bụ naanị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ bịara richapụ ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu. Mgbe nke a mere Fero kwolitere.
Amankomokazi akhangeleka kubi acakileyo enyameni adla amankomokazi akhangeleka kuhle anonileyo. UFaro wasephaphama.
5 Emesịa, Fero rahụkwara ụra ọzọ, rọọ nrọ nke ugboro abụọ, hụ ogbe ọka asaa ndị mịrị nʼotu ukwu ọka. Ogbe ọka ndị a buru ibu maa ezi mma.
Walala futhi, waphupha ngokwesibili; khangela-ke, kwakhahlela izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ehlangeni linye, ezigcweleyo zilungile.
6 Emesịa, ọ hụkwara ogbe ọka asaa ọzọ ka ha mịkwara nʼotu ukwu ọka ahụ. Ma ndị a ọ hụrụ kpọnwụsịrị akpọnwụ, fịkpọkwa afịkpọ. Ọ bụ ikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ mere ka ha kpọnwụọ.
Khangela-ke, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezicakileyo, zihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga, zakhahlela emva kwazo.
7 Ogbe ọka ndị a fịkpọrọ afịkpọ loro ogbe ọka asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu. Fero kwolitere hụ na ihe ndị a bụ nrọ.
Izikhwebu ezicakileyo zaginya izikhwebu ezipheleleyo ezigcweleyo. UFaro wasephaphama, khangela-ke, kwakuliphupho.
8 Mgbe chi bọrọ, o nweghị udo na mmụọ ya. O ziri ozi kpọkọta ndị majiki niile, na ndị ọkachamara niile nke Ijipt. Fero kọọrọ ha ihe ọ rọrọ na nrọ. Ma ọ dịghị onye nwere ike ịkọwara ya ihe nrọ ya pụtara.
Kwasekusithi ekuseni umoya wakhe wakhathazeka; wathumela wabiza izangoma zonke zeGibhithe lazo zonke izazi zayo. UFaro wazilandisela iphupho lakhe; kodwa kwakungekho ongamchasisela wona uFaro.
9 Ma nʼoge ahụ, onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko jekwuuru Fero gwa ya sị, “Taa ka m chetara mmehie m.
Induna yabaphathinkezo yasikhuluma kuFaro isithi: Lamuhla ngiyakhumbula amacala ami.
10 Oge ahụ Fero were iwe megide ndị na-ejere ya ozi, o tinyere mụ na onyeisi ndị na-esi nri nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nke dị nʼebe onyeisi ndị nche eze bi.
UFaro wazithukuthelela inceku zakhe, wanginikela esitokisini, endlini yenduna yabalindi, mina lenduna yabaphekizinkwa;
11 Onye ọbụla nʼime anyị abụọ rọrọ nrọ nʼotu abalị, nrọ ọbụla nwekwara nkọwa nke ya.
njalo saphupha iphupho ngabusuku bunye, mina layo. Saphupha, ngamunye njengengcazelo yephupho lakhe.
12 O nwere nwokorobịa onye Hibru anyị na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼoge ahụ. Ọ bụ ohu onyeisi ndị nche eze. Anyị kọọrọ ya nrọ anyị rọrọ. Ọ kọwakwaara anyị ihe nrọ anyị pụtara nye onye ọbụla nkọwa nke nrọ ya.
Kwakukhona lapho kanye lathi ijaha umHebheru, inceku yenduna yabalindi; sayilandisela yasichasisela amaphupho ethu, yachasisa ngamunye njengephupho lakhe.
13 Ihe niile mere dịka o si kọwara anyị. E nyeghachiri m ọnọdụ m, ma kwụba onye nke ọzọ nʼosisi.”
Kwasekusithi njengokusichasisela kwayo kwaba njalo; mina wangibuyisela esikhundleni sami, yena wamlengisa.
14 Ya mere Fero ziri ozi ka a kpọọ Josef. E mere ngwangwa wepụta ya site nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ. Mgbe ọ kpụchara afụọnụ ya, gbanwee uwe ya, ọ bịakwara nʼihu Fero.
UFaro wasethumela wabiza uJosefa; bamkhupha emgodini ngokuphangisa; esephucile wafaka ezinye izigqoko, wangena kuFaro.
15 Fero gwara Josef sị, “Arọrọ m nrọ ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nwere ike ịkọwara m ihe nrọ m rọrọ pụtara. Ma anụla m na a kọọrọ gị nrọ a rọrọ, i nwere ike ịkọwa ihe nrọ ahụ pụtara.”
UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Ngiphuphile iphupho, kodwa kakho olichasisayo; njalo mina ngizwile ngawe ukuthi: Usizwa iphupho, uyalichasisa.
16 Josef zara sị ya, “Enweghị m ike ịkọwa nrọ nʼike aka m. Ma Chineke ga-enye Fero ọsịsa udo dịka ọ chọrọ.”
UJosefa wasemphendula uFaro esithi: Kakukho kimi. UNkulunkulu uzaphendula impilakahle kaFaro.
17 Mgbe ahụ, Fero malitere ịkọwara Josef nrọ ya. O kwuru sị, “Eguzoro m nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl na nrọ m.
UFaro wasekhuluma kuJosefa wathi: Ephutsheni lami, khangela, ngangimi ekhunjini lomfula;
18 Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m ehi asaa si na mmiri ahụ pụta. Ehi ndị a mara abụba, ma gbaa agba. Ha bidokwara ịta nri nʼetiti ahịhịa riidi.
njalo khangela, kwakhuphuka emfuleni amankomokazi ayisikhombisa, anonileyo enyameni, akhangeleka emahle, adla emihlangeni.
19 Emesịa, a hụrụ m ehi asaa ọzọ ka ha sikwa nʼosimiri ahụ pụta. Ehi ndị a ejighị ahụ. Ha bụ ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ, jọọ njọ ile anya. Nʼezie, ahụtụbeghị m ụdị ehi dị otu a nʼala Ijipt niile.
Khangela-ke, amanye amankomokazi ayisikhombisa akhuphuka emva kwawo, ayangekileyo, akhangeleka emabi kakhulu, acakileyo enyameni; angizanga ngiwabone anjengawo ngobubi elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
20 Ehi asaa ndị a jọrọ njọ riri ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu, bụ ndị bu ha ụzọ si nʼosimiri ahụ pụta.
Kwathi amankomokazi acakileyo lamabi adla amankomokazi ayisikhombisa okuqala anonileyo.
21 Ma mgbe ha risiri ehi ndị a, nri ahụ emeghị ka ụdịdị ha gbanwee. Ha dịkwa otu ha dị. Mgbe m hụsịrị ihe a, etetara m nʼụra.
Lapho esengene esiswini sawo, kakubonakalanga ukuthi angenile esiswini sawo, ngoba ekhangeleka kubi njengakuqala. Ngasengiphaphama.
22 “Mgbe m rọrọ nrọ ọzọ, a hụrụ m ogbe ọka asaa nke mịrị nʼotu ukwu ọka. Ọka asaa ndị a buru ibu, dị mma ile anya.
Ngasengibona ephutsheni lami, khangela-ke, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa zikhahlela ehlangeni linye, zigcwele zilungile;
23 Ogbe ọka asaa ọzọ mịkwara nʼelu ukwu ọka ahụ, ma ndị a kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, fịkpọkwa afịkpọ nʼihi nʼikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ chakpọrọ ha.
njalo khangela, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezitshwabheneyo, ezicakileyo, ezihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga zakhahlela emva kwazo.
24 Ma ọka ndị a fịkpọrọ afịkpọ lodara ọka asaa ndị ahụ mara mma. Akọọlara m ndị majiki ihe ndị a, ma ọ dịghị onye nʼime ha nwere ike ịkọwara m ihe nrọ ndị a pụtara.”
Njalo izikhwebu ezicakileyo zaginya izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezilungileyo. Njalo ngakulandisela izangoma; kodwa kwakungekho esangichasiselayo.
25 Mgbe ahụ, Josef sịrị Fero, “Nrọ abụọ Fero rọrọ pụtara otu ihe. Chineke esitela na nrọ ndị a gwa Fero ihe ọ na-aga ime.
UJosefa wasesithi kuFaro: Iphupho likaFaro linye. Lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo, umazisile uFaro.
26 Ehi asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu bụ afọ asaa. Ogbe ọka asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu bụkwa afọ asaa. Ọ bụ otu nrọ ahụ, ọ bụ ezie na ị rọrọ ya ugboro abụọ.
Amankomokazi ayisikhombisa alungileyo ayiminyaka eyisikhombisa; lezikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezilungileyo ziyiminyaka eyisikhombisa. Iphupho linye.
27 Ehi asaa ndị ọzọ ahụ dị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ ndị pụtara mgbe ndị nke mbụ pụtachara bụ afọ asaa. Otu a kwa ogbe ọka ndị ọzọ fịkpọrọ afịkpọ nke ikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ mere ka ha fịkpọọ bụ afọ asaa. Ha na-egosi afọ asaa mgbe oke ụnwụ ga-adị.
Njalo amankomokazi acakileyo lamabi akhuphuka emva kwawo ayiminyaka eyisikhombisa; lezikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezicakileyo ezihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga zizakuba yiminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala.
28 “Dịka m gwara Fero na mbụ, Chineke egosila gị ihe ọ chọrọ ime.
Le yinto engiyikhulume kuFaro ukuthi: Lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo, ukutshengisile kuFaro.
29 Afọ asaa na-abịa ga-abụ afọ asaa mgbe nri ga-adị ukwuu nʼala Ijipt niile.
Khangela, kuyeza iminyaka eyisikhombisa yenala enkulu elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
30 Emesịa afọ asaa oke ụnwụ ga-eso ha. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-echefu ụba niile nke ala Ijipt. Ụnwụ a ga-ala obodo nʼiyi.
Kuzavela iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala emva kwayo; izakhohlakala-ke inala yonke elizweni leGibhithe; njalo indlala izaliqeda ilizwe.
31 Agaghị echetakwa na e nwere oge ịba ụba ihe oriri nʼala a, nʼihi oke ụnwụ ahụ nke ga-eso ya ga-adị oke ukwuu.
Njalo inala kayiyikwaziwa elizweni ngenxa yaleyondlala emva kwalokho, ngoba izakuba nzima kakhulu.
32 Ihe mere Fero ji rọọ nrọ a ugboro abụọ bụ nʼihi na Chineke ekpebiela na ihe ndị a ga-emezuriri. Chineke ga-emekwa ya nʼoge na-adịghị anya.
Njalo ukuthi iphupho liphindwe kabili kuFaro, kungoba into le imisiwe nguNkulunkulu, futhi uNkulunkulu uyaphangisa ukukwenza.
33 “Ma ugbu a, ka Fero chọọ onye nwere ezi nghọta na amamihe. Ya mee ya onyeisi ọchịchị nʼala Ijipt niile.
Khathesi-ke uFaro kakhangele indoda eqedisisayo lehlakaniphileyo, ayibeke phezu kwelizwe leGibhithe.
34 Ka Fero mee nhọpụta ndị nlekọta ala Ijipt. Ka e debe otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke nri niile a ga-enweta nʼoge ahụ nri ga-adị ukwuu nʼala Ijipt.
UFaro kenze lokhu, abeke ababonisi phezu kwelizwe, athathe ingxenye yesihlanu yelizwe leGibhithe eminyakeni eyisikhombisa yenala.
35 Ka ha kpokọtaa nri niile ga-adị nʼoge ịba ụba nke ihe oriri, nke ga-adị nʼafọ ndị a na-abịa. Ka ha kpokọta ha nʼụlọ ichebe nri nke ga-adị nʼokpuru ọchịchị Fero. Ka ọ bụrụ nri e debere nʼobodo dị iche iche.
Kababuthe konke ukudla kwaliminyaka elungileyo ezayo, njalo kababuthelele amabele ngaphansi kwesandla sikaFaro, kube yikudla emizini, bawagcine.
36 A ga-echebe nri ndị a nke ọma maka ndị bi nʼala a, ka ọ bụrụ nri a ga-eri nʼime afọ asaa ndị ahụ nke ụnwụ ga-adị nʼala Ijipt, ka ụnwụ ghara ibibi ala a.”
Njalo ukudla kuzakuba yisiphala selizwe okweminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala ezakuba khona elizweni leGibhithe, ukuze ilizwe lingabhujiswa yindlala.
37 Ntụpụta ahụ dị mma nʼanya Fero na ndịisi ọchịchị ya.
Njalo into le yabanhle emehlweni kaFaro lemehlweni ezinceku zakhe zonke.
38 Fero jụrụ ndịisi ọchịchị ya, “Anyị ga-achọtali onye ọzọ dịka nwoke a, onye mmụọ nke Chineke dị nʼime ya?”
UFaro wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Singamthola yini onjengaye, indoda okuyo uMoya kaNkulunkulu?
39 Ya mere Fero tụgharịrị sị Josef, “Ebe Chineke kpugheere gị ihe ndị a, o nweghị onye ọzọ nwere ezi nghọta na amamihe dịka gị.
UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Njengalokhu uNkulunkulu ekwazisile konke lokhu, kakho oqedisisayo lohlakaniphileyo njengawe.
40 Gị onwe gị ga-abụ onye na-elekọta ụlọeze m. Ndị m niile ga-erube isi nʼiwu ọbụla i nyere. Ọ bụ naanị nʼocheeze ka m ga-eji dị ukwuu karịa gị.”
Wena uzakuba phezu kwendlu yami, njalo emlonyeni wakho bonke abantu bami bazabuswa; kuphela esihlalweni sobukhosi ngizakuba mkhulu kulawe.
41 Fero gwara Josef, “Lee, emeela m gị onye nlekọta ala Ijipt niile.”
UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Khangela, ngikubekile phezu kwelizwe lonke leGibhithe.
42 Mgbe ahụ, Fero gbapụtara mgbaaka eze ya gbanye ya Josef nʼaka. O yikwasịkwara Josef uwe e ji ezi akwa ọcha duo, nyanye ya ihe ịnya nʼolu nke e ji ọlaedo kpụọ.
UFaro wasekhupha indandatho yakhe elophawu lwakhe esandleni sakhe, wayifaka esandleni sikaJosefa, wamgqokisa izigqoko zelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, wamgaxa iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe.
43 O mere ka ọ nyaa ịnyịnya ụgbọ ya nke abụọ. Ndị oti mkpu na-etikwa nʼihu ya, “Gbuonụ ikpere nʼala.” Otu a ka Fero si mee Josef onye na-achị ala Ijipt niile.
Wamhambisa enqoleni yesibili ayelayo; njalo bamemeza phambi kwakhe besithi: Guqani! Ngokunjalo wambeka phezu kwelizwe lonke leGibhithe.
44 Fero gwakwara Josef sị, “Ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Fero! O nweghị onye ọbụla ga-ewelita aka maọbụ ụkwụ ya nʼala Ijipt niile ma ọ bụghị site nʼike i nyere ya.”
UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: NginguFaro; kodwa ngaphandle kwakho kakho ozaphakamisa isandla sakhe loba unyawo lwakhe elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
45 Fero gụrụ Josef aha Zafenat-Pania. Ọ kpọnyekwara ya, Asenat, nwa Pọtifera, onye nchụaja obodo a na-akpọ On, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Josef bịara gazuo ala Ijipt.
UFaro wasebiza ibizo likaJosefa ngokuthi uZafenathi-Paneya. Wamnika uAsenathi, indodakazi kaPotifera umpristi weOni, ukuthi abe ngumkakhe. UJosefa wasephuma wadabula elizweni leGibhithe.
46 Josef gbara iri afọ atọ mgbe o bidoro iguzo nʼihu Fero eze Ijipt. O si nʼihu Fero pụọ, malite ijegharị ebe niile nʼala Ijipt.
Njalo uJosefa wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu mhla esima phambi kukaFaro inkosi yeGibhithe. UJosefa wasephuma esuka ebusweni bukaFaro, wadabula ilizwe lonke leGibhithe.
47 Nʼafọ asaa ahụ nke a na-eriju afọ, ala mepụtara nri nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu.
Umhlaba wathela ngezandla ezigcweleyo eminyakeni eyisikhombisa yenala.
48 Nʼime afọ asaa ndị a nke nri juru ebe niile nʼIjipt, Josef chịkọtara nri niile nke si nʼubi, ma chekwaa ha nʼụlọ e wuru maka iche nri nʼobodo niile ahụ. Nʼobodo ọbụla, ka ọ na-etinye ihe oriri nke si nʼubi gbara ya gburugburu.
Waseqoqa konke ukudla kweminyaka eyisikhombisa eyayiselizweni leGibhithe, wabeka ukudla emizini; ukudla kwensimu ezingelezele lowo lalowomuzi wakubeka kuwo.
49 Josef chekwara ọka dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri. A kwụsịrị ịgụ ha ọnụ nʼihi na ha hiri nne nke ukwuu nke na ha enweghị ọnụọgụgụ.
UJosefa wasebuthelela amabele njengetshebetshebe lolwandle, aba manengi kakhulu, waze wayekela ukubala, ngoba ayengelanani.
50 Tupu oge ụnwụ ahụ ebido, Asenat nwa nwanyị Pọtifera, onye nchụaja nke On, mụtara Josef ụmụ ndị ikom abụọ.
Wasezalelwa uJosefa amadodana amabili, ungakafiki umnyaka wendlala, amzalela wona uAsenathi indodakazi kaPotifera umpristi weOni.
51 Josef gụrụ ọkpara ya Manase, nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Chineke emeela ka m chefuo ahụhụ m niile, mekwa ka m chefuo ndị ezinaụlọ nna m.”
UJosefa wasebiza ibizo lezibulo wathi nguManase, wathi: Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungenze ukuthi ngikhohlwe konke ukuhlupheka kwami lendlu yonke kababa.
52 Josef gụrụ nwa ya nke abụọ Ifrem. Ọ sịrị, “Nʼihi na Chineke emeela ka m mịa mkpụrụ nʼala nke ahụhụ m.”
Lebizo leyesibili walibiza wathi nguEfrayimi, wathi: Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungenze ukuthi ngibe lezithelo elizweni lokuhlupheka kwami.
53 Afọ asaa nke ụba nri nke dịrị nʼala Ijipt mechara gabiga.
Kwasekuphela iminyaka eyisikhombisa yenala eyayiselizweni leGibhithe.
54 Afọ asaa nke ụnwụ bidoro bịawa dịka Josef kwuru. Ụnwụ nọ nʼobodo niile, ma nʼala Ijipt niile nri dị.
Kwasekuqala ukufika iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala, njengoba uJosefa wayetshilo. Kwasekusiba khona indlala emazweni wonke, kodwa elizweni lonke leGibhithe kwakukhona isinkwa.
55 Ka agụ jidere ala Ijipt niile, ndị mmadụ tikuru Fero ka o nye ha nri. Ma Fero gwara ndị Ijipt niile, “Jekwurunụ Josef. Ihe ọbụla ọ gwara unu meenụ ya.”
Kwathi ilizwe leGibhithe lonke selilamba, abantu bakhala ngesinkwa kuFaro. UFaro wasesithi kuwo wonke amaGibhithe: Yanini kuJosefa, lenze lokho alitshela khona.
56 Mgbe ụnwụ ahụ gbasara ruo nʼakụkụ niile nke ala ahụ, Josef meghepụrụ ụlọ ichebe nri niile bido iresi ndị Ijipt nri, nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị njọ nʼala Ijipt niile.
Kwathi sekulendlala ebusweni belizwe lonke, uJosefa wavula zonke iziphala, wathengisela amaGibhithe; indlala-ke yaba lamandla elizweni leGibhithe.
57 Mba niile bịara Ijipt ịzụ nri site nʼaka Josef nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị njọ nʼụwa niile.
Lonke ilizwe lafika eGibhithe kuJosefa ukuthenga, ngoba indlala yayilamandla emhlabeni wonke.
