UGenesisi 40
1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto umphathinkezo wenkosi yeGibhithe lomphekizinkwa bona enkosini yabo, enkosini yeGibhithe.
Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa watwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei, na mũndũ ũrĩa wathondekagĩra mũthamaki wa Misiri mĩgate-rĩ, makĩhĩtĩria mwathi wao, ũcio mũthamaki wa Misiri.
2 Ngakho uFaro wabathukuthelela abathenwa bakhe ababili, induna yabaphathinkezo lenduna yabaphekizinkwa.
Firaũni mũthamaki ũcio akĩrakario nĩ anene acio ake eerĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei na mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate,
3 Wazinikela esitokisini, endlini yenduna yabalindi, entolongweni, indawo lapho uJosefa ayebotshelwe khona.
na akĩmahingĩrithia nyũmba ya mũnene wa arĩa arangĩri njeera, o ĩrĩa Jusufu oheetwo.
4 Induna yabalindi yasimlaya uJosefa ukuba lazo, wazisebenzela; njalo zaba lensuku esitokisini.
Mũnene wa arangĩri akĩmaneana kũrĩ Jusufu amarorage, nake Jusufu akĩmatungatĩra. Na thuutha wa gũikara kĩoho-inĩ kwa ihinda-rĩ,
5 Zombili zaseziphupha amaphupho, ngamunye iphupho lakhe, ngabusuku bunye, ngamunye njengengcazelo yephupho lakhe, umphathinkezo lomphekizinkwa ababengabenkosi yeGibhithe ababebotshiwe entolongweni.
o ũmwe wa acio eerĩ, ũrĩa watwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei na mũthondeki wa mĩgate ya mũthamaki wa Misiri, o acio maahingĩirwo njeera, makĩroota irooto ũtukũ ũmwe, na o kĩroto kĩarĩ na mũtaũrĩre wakĩo.
6 UJosefa wasengena kibo ekuseni, wababona, khangela-ke, benyukumele.
Rĩrĩa Jusufu aathiire kũrĩ o rũciinĩ rwa mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ-rĩ, akĩona marĩ na kĩeha.
7 Wasebabuza abathenwa bakaFaro ababelaye esitokisini endlini yenkosi yakhe, esithi: Kungani ubuso benu budanile lamuhla?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria anene acio a Firaũni, o acio moohetwo hamwe nake nyũmba-inĩ ya mwathi wake, atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũtukie ithiithi cianyu ũmũthĩ?”
8 Basebesithi kuye: Siphuphile iphupho, njalo kakho umchasisi walo. UJosefa wasesithi kubo: Ingcazelo kayisizo zikaNkulunkulu yini? Ake lingilandisele wona.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ ithuerĩ nĩtũrotete irooto, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wa gũcitaũra.” Jusufu akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũtaũri ti wa Ngai? Njĩĩrai irooto cianyu.”
9 Induna yabaphathinkezo yalandisa iphupho layo kuJosefa, yathi kuye: Ephutsheni lami, khangela-ke, kwakukhona ivini phambi kwami;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnene wa arĩa maatwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei akĩĩra Jusufu kĩroto gĩake. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩroto-inĩ gĩakwa ndĩronire mũthabibũ ũrĩ mbere yakwa,
10 evinini-ke kwakukhona ingatsha ezintathu; njalo kwakungathi liyahluma, impoko zalo zaphuma, amahlukuzo alo athela izithelo zevini ezivuthiweyo.
na ũraarĩ na honge ithatũ. Nacio iraaruta kĩro o ũguo iracanũka, nacio imanjĩka cia thabibũ irerua.
11 Njalo inkezo kaFaro yayisesandleni sami; ngasengithatha izithelo zevini, ngazikhamela enkezweni kaFaro, nganika inkezo esandleni sikaFaro.
Na niĩ ndĩrakorwo nyiitĩte gĩkombe kĩa Firaũni na guoko, ndĩrooya thabibũ icio, ndĩraacihihĩra gĩkombe-inĩ kĩa Firaũni, na ndĩramũnengera.”
12 UJosefa wasesithi kuyo: Le yingcazelo yalo. Ingatsha ezintathu ziyizinsuku ezintathu;
Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Honge icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
13 kusesephakathi kwensuku ezintathu uFaro uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho, akubuyisele esikhundleni sakho; njalo uzanika inkezo kaFaro esandleni sakhe, njengendlela yakuqala lapho wawungumphathinkezo wakhe.
Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩegũgũtũũgĩria na agũcookie wĩra-inĩ waku, na ũcooke kũnengagĩra Firaũni gĩkombe gĩake, o ta ũrĩa wekaga rĩrĩa warĩ mũmũhei ndibei.
14 Kodwa ungikhumbule lawe, lapho uhlezi kuhle, ake ungenzele umusa, ungibike kuFaro, ungikhuphe kulindlu.
No rĩrĩa maũndũ maku makaagaacĩra-rĩ, ũkandirikana ũnjiguĩre tha, ũngweete harĩ Firaũni, ũndute gũkũ njeera.
15 Ngoba ngebiwa lokwebiwa elizweni lamaHebheru, lalapha futhi kangenzanga lutho ukuze bangifake emgodini.
Tondũ nĩkũnyiitwo ndaanyiitirwo na hinya, ngĩrutwo bũrũri wa Ahibirania, na ningĩ o na gũkũ gũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndeekĩte wa gũtũma njikio njeera.”
16 Lapho induna yabaphekizinkwa ibona ukuthi uchasise kuhle, yathi kuJosefa: Lami bengisephutsheni; khangela-ke, bekukhona izitsha ezintathu zilezinkwa ezimhlophe ekhanda lami;
Na rĩrĩa mũnene wa arĩa athondeki mĩgate onire atĩ Jusufu nĩataũra kĩroto kĩu wega-rĩ, akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩndĩrarootete: Ndĩrakuuĩte ikabũ ithatũ cia mĩgate na mũtwe.
17 njalo esitsheni esingaphezulu kwakukhona okokudla konke kukaFaro, umsebenzi obhakiweyo; njalo inyoni zakudla lokho esitsheni esisekhanda lami.
Gĩkabũ kĩrĩa kĩrarigĩtie igũrũ kĩraarĩ na mĩgate ya mĩthemba yothe ĩthondekeirwo Firaũni; no nacio nyoni iramĩrĩĩaga ĩrĩ o gĩkabũ-inĩ ndĩgĩkuuĩte na mũtwe.”
18 UJosefa wasephendula wathi: Le yingcazelo yalo. Izitsha ezintathu ziyizinsuku ezintathu;
Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Ikabũ icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
19 kusesephakathi kwensuku ezintathu uFaro uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho lisuke kuwe, akulengise esihlahleni; inyoni zizakudla inyama yakho ziyisuse kuwe.
Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩagagũtinithia mũtwe na akwambithie mũtĩ igũrũ. Nacio nyoni nĩikarĩa nyama cia mwĩrĩ waku.”
20 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu, usuku lokuzalwa kukaFaro, wenzela inceku zakhe zonke idili; waphakamisa ikhanda lenduna yabaphathinkezo lekhanda lenduna yabaphekizinkwa phakathi kwenceku zakhe.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa gatatũ warĩ wa kũririkana gũciarwo kwa Firaũni, nake akĩrugithĩria anene ake iruga inene. Nake akĩririkana mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei na mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate mbere ya anene arĩa angĩ ake:
21 Wayibuyisela induna yabaphathinkezo ekuphatheni kwayo inkezo; yasinika inkezo esandleni sikaFaro.
Agĩcookia mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei wĩra-inĩ wake, nĩgeetha acooke gũtwarĩra Firaũni gĩkombe rĩngĩ.
22 Kodwa wayilengisa induna yabaphekizinkwa, njengoba uJosefa ezichasisele.
No rĩrĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate-rĩ, akĩmũcuria mũtĩ igũrũ o ta ũrĩa Jusufu aamerĩte ũtaũri-inĩ wake.
23 Kodwa induna yabaphathinkezo kayimkhumbulanga uJosefa, kodwa yamkhohlwa.
No mũnene ũcio wa arĩa maatwaragĩra Firaũni ndibei ndaigana kũririkana Jusufu; nĩariganĩirwo nĩwe.
