1 Mago'a kna evutegeno anante Isipi kini ne'mofo ti tafente'ene breti kre'zante vugota huna'a ne'tremoke, ra zani Isipi kinimofona rimpa eri haviza hu'na'e.

Emva kwesikhathi esithile umphathinkezo lomphekizinkwa wenkosi yaseGibhithe bayikhuba inkosi yabo, inkosi yaseGibhithe.

2 Fero'a tare vugotena'a eri'za netrena, kinimofo tintfente'ene breti kre'zante vugota hu'na'a ne'tremokiznia tusi'a rimpa ahezanante'ne.

UFaro wayezizondele izikhulu zakhe zombili, umphathinkezo omkhulu lomphekizinkwa omkhulu,

3 Ana netrena kinimofo avate kva hunente'nea ne' nompi, Josefe mani'nefi magopi kina ome huznantene.

wabaphosela entolongweni eyayisendlini kandunankulu wabalindi, lapho uJosefa ayevalelwe khona.

4 Rankva ne'mo'a, Josefe kegava huznante'nogu ome zanantegeno, agra kegava kriznantegeke mago'a zaza kna kinafina mani'na'e.

Indunankulu yabalindi yabanikela kuJosefa, wabalawula. Kwathi sebehlale entolongweni okwesikhathi esithile,

5 Hagi Isipi kinimofo tinkapure azeri nentea ne'ene breti negrea ne'enena kinafi mani'neke, tarega'moke rurerure ava'na ketere hu'na'e. Hianagi ana ava'na zanimofo agu agesamo'a ru kante rugante vutere hu'ne.

ngulowo wamadoda la amabili, umphathinkezo lomphekizinkwa, abenkosi yaseGibhithe, ababevalelwe baphupha amaphupho ngabusuku bunye, kwathi yilelo iphupho laba lengcazelo yalo.

6 Nanterampi Josefe eno eme zanageana, zanagra zanasu zampi mani'nakeno zanage'ne.

Kwathi uJosefa efika kubo kusisa ekuseni, wabona bebunile.

7 Fero eri'za netre'moke kva'amofo kina nompi mani'nakeno zanantahigeno, Na'a higeta menina tanasu'zampina mani'na'e?

Wasezibuza izikhulu zikaFaro ezazisentolongweni kanye laye endlini yenkosi yakhe wathi, “Kungani ubuso benu bubunile kanje lamuhla na?”

8 Higeno zanagra kenona anage hu'ne asami'na'e. Tagrama ava'na ke'noa ava'namofo agu'agesama huama huno tasami vahera magore huno omani'ne. Hakeno Josefe'a ana kenona anage huno zanasami'ne, Anumzamo Agrake ava'na ketani'a eri ama hugahianki ava'nama kena'a zamofo naneke nasami'o.

Baphendula bathi, “Sobabili siphuphile, kodwa kakho ongasichasisela amaphupho ethu.” Ngakho uJosefa wasesithi kubo, “Izingcazelo kakusizikaNkulunkulu na? Ngitshelani amaphupho enu.”

9 Kini ne'mofo tinkapure vugote'nea ne'mo'ma agrama ke'nea ava'na kea anage huno Josefena asmi'ne, Nagrama ava'nafima koana, navuga mago wain nofi me'ne,

Umphathinkezo omkhulu wamtshela uJosefa ngephupho lakhe. Wathi kuye, “Ephutsheni lami ngibone isihlahla sevini siphambi kwami,

10 ana waini nofitera 3'a azanku'na me'neankino, ani'na eri mareno amosrea aheno, raga'a reherafigeno knare'za huno afu arente'ne.

lelovini lilengatsha ezintathu. Lonela ukuhluma lahle laqhakaza, amaxha alo ahle avuthwa aba yizithelo ezivuthiweyo.

11 Hagi Fero kapumo'a nazampi me'nege'na, waini raga tagi'na eri rati'na Fero kapufi nente'na, ana kapua Fero azampi eri'na ome ante'noe.

Inkezo kaFaro ibisesandleni sami, ngawathatha amagrebisi ngawakhamela enkezweni kaFaro ngamqhubela esandleni sakhe.”

12 Higeno Josefe'a anage huno asami'ne, Ava'nama ke'nana zamofo agu'agesamo'a amana hu'ne, 3'a azankunamo'a 3'a kna huvame huno me'neankino,

UJosefa wathi kuye, “Nanku elikutshoyo. Amagatsha amathathu yizinsuku ezintathu.

13 3'a knama evutesigeno'a, Fero'a ete erizanka'are kavrentenkenka ko'ma nehanaza hunka Fero azampi ti kapu'a erinka ome antegahane.

Phakathi kwensuku ezintathu uFaro uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho akubisele esikhundleni sakho, njalo uzayibeka inkezo kaFaro esandleni sakhe njengalokhu owawuvele ukwenza usesengumphathinkezo yakhe.

14 Hianagi knare'ma hunka umanisunka, muse hugantoanki nagrikura kagesa antahinenaminka, nagri nagenkea Ferona asmigeno ama'i kina nompintira navre fegi'a natreno.

Kodwa nxa konke sekulungile ungikhumbule, ungenzele umusa; ungikhulumele kuFaro ukuze ngiphume kule intolongo.

15 Na'ankure nagrira musufa ase'za, Hibru vahe mopafinti navre'za eme nante'nage'na, amafima ema mani'nofina magore hu'na antahi'na kena osu'noa zante navre'za eme kina hunante'naze.

Ngoba ngasuswa ngamandla elizweni lamaHebheru, futhi lapha kangenzanga lutho olufanele ukuthi ngifakwe entolongweni.”

16 Ana zanke huno kini ne'mofo bretima vugoteno negrea ne'mo'a, Josefe'ma knare'ma huno kini ne'mofo waini kapure'ma e'neria ne'mofo ava'na kema rukrahe humigeno nentahino'a, anage huno Josefena asmi'ne, Nagranena ana zanke hu'na ava'na koana, 3'a eka'eka kupi bretia zogirinte'naza nanunte me'ne.

Kwathi umphekizinkwa omkhulu ebona ukuthi uJosefa wayenike ingcazelo emnandi, wathi kuJosefa, “Lami njalo ngiphuphile: Phezu kwekhanda lami bekulezitsha zesinkwa ezintathu.

17 Ana ekaeka kupina ruzahu ruzahu bretirami Fero suza nanunte me'nege'za namamo'za eme nenazage'na ke'noe.

Esitsheni esiphezulu bekulemihlobo yonke yalokho okubhekhelwe uFaro, kodwa izinyoni zazilokhu zisidlala esitsheni sisekhanda lami.”

18 Anage higeno Josefe'a kenona anage huno asmi'ne, Ava'nama kanazamofo agu'agesamo'a amana hu'ne, 3'a eka eka kumo'a, 3'a zagegna hu avame hu'neankino,

UJosefa wathi, “Nanku elikutshoyo. Izitsha ezintathu zinsuku ezintathu.

19 3'a zagegnama agteresigeno'a, Fero'a kazerisga huno kagena rukafriteno zafare hantigantesige'za, namamo'za kavufga negahaze.

Phakathi kwensuku ezintathu uFaro uzaliphakamisa ikhanda lakho akulengise esihlahleni. Izinyoni zizakudla inyama yakho.”

20 Hagi henka 3'a zagekna evutegeno, Feroma kasente'nea kna egeno maka eri'za vahe'amokizmia ra ne'za kre nezmanteno, vugoteno waini ti kapu'a erisga nemia ne'ene, bretima kre nentea ne'ene waini ti kapuama erino nemia ne'enena, ranra eri'za vahe'amofo zamavure, zanavre ama' hu'ne.

Ilanga lesithathu laliyisikhumbuzo sokuzalwa kukaFaro, ngakho wenzela izikhulu zakhe idili. Waphakamisa amakhanda amabili, elomphathinkezo omkhulu lelomphekizinkwa omkhulu phambi kwezikhulu zakhe:

21 Ferona tinkapure vugoteno erisga hunentea nera, eri'zama'afi avrentegeno agra Ferona kapu'a azampi antente'ne.

Wabuyisela umphathinkezo esikhundleni sakhe, waphinda njalo ukubeka inkezo esandleni sikaFaro,

22 Hianagi breti kre'zante vugota hu'nea nera, Josefe'ma ava'na kezanima zanasmi'nea kante ante'za zafare ahe'za hanti'naze.

kodwa walengisa umphekizinkwa omkhulu, kwaba njengoba uJosefa wayetshilo kubo ekubachasiseleni kwakhe.

23 Hianagi kinimofo kapu'are vugota hu'nea ne'mo'a Josefena antahi omino, agekani ante'ne.

Kodwa umphathinkezo omkhulu kasamkhumbulanga uJosefa; wakhohlwa ngaye.
