UGenesisi 41
1 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka emibili egcweleyo uFaro waphupha; khangela-ke, emi emfuleni.
Le ƒe eve megbe la, Farao ku drɔ̃e gbe ɖeka le zã me be yetsi tsitre ɖe Nil tɔsisi la to.
2 Khangela-ke, emfuleni kwakhuphuka amankomokazi ayisikhombisa, ekhangeleka emahle, enonile enyameni; adla emihlangeni.
Tete nyi dami adre do tso tɔsisi la me, eye wonɔ gbe ɖum.
3 Khangela-ke, amanye amankomokazi ayisikhombisa akhuphuka emfuleni emva kwawo, ekhangeleka kubi, ecakile enyameni; ema eduze lamankomokazi ekhunjini lomfula.
Emegbe nyi bubu adre do tso tɔsisi la me, ke woawo ɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui, eye woƒe axaƒutiwo do. Woyi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe nyinɔ dami adreawo gbɔ.
4 Amankomokazi akhangeleka kubi acakileyo enyameni adla amankomokazi akhangeleka kuhle anonileyo. UFaro wasephaphama.
Nyi ɖikuawo lé nyinɔ damiawo mi! Tete Farao nyɔ!
5 Walala futhi, waphupha ngokwesibili; khangela-ke, kwakhahlela izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ehlangeni linye, ezigcweleyo zilungile.
Egayi alɔ̃ me kaba, eye wògaku drɔ̃e bubu. Azɔ ya la, ekpɔ bli adre siwo ʋã nyuie la le bliti ɖeka dzi.
6 Khangela-ke, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezicakileyo, zihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga, zakhahlela emva kwazo.
Enumake bli bubu adre gado ɖe bliti la dzi, ke esiawo ya meʋã kura o, eye ɣedzeƒeya na woyrɔ.
7 Izikhwebu ezicakileyo zaginya izikhwebu ezipheleleyo ezigcweleyo. UFaro wasephaphama, khangela-ke, kwakuliphupho.
Bli yɔyrɔe siawo mi bli ʋaʋãwo! Farao ganyɔ, eye wòdze sii be drɔ̃e sɔŋ ko wonye.
8 Kwasekusithi ekuseni umoya wakhe wakhathazeka; wathumela wabiza izangoma zonke zeGibhithe lazo zonke izazi zayo. UFaro wazilandisela iphupho lakhe; kodwa kwakungekho ongamchasisela wona uFaro.
Esi ŋu ke, eye wòbu drɔ̃eawo ŋu la, etsi dzimaɖi ŋutɔ le nu si drɔ̃eawo ate ŋu aɖe afia la ŋu. Eyɔ afakalawo kple nunyalawo katã le Egiptenyigba dzi ƒo ƒu, eye wòlĩ drɔ̃eawo na wo, ke wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe wo gɔme o.
9 Induna yabaphathinkezo yasikhuluma kuFaro isithi: Lamuhla ngiyakhumbula amacala ami.
Tete fia ƒe ahakula gblɔ na Farao be, “Egbe la, meɖo ŋku nye nu vɔ̃ dzi.
10 UFaro wazithukuthelela inceku zakhe, wanginikela esitokisini, endlini yenduna yabalindi, mina lenduna yabaphekizinkwa;
Ɣe aɖe ɣi va yi esi nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe mí ame eve ŋu, eye nède nye kple aboloƒola gaxɔ me le ŋuwòdzɔlawo ƒe amegã ƒe mɔ me la,
11 njalo saphupha iphupho ngabusuku bunye, mina layo. Saphupha, ngamunye njengengcazelo yephupho lakhe.
nye kple aboloƒola míeku drɔ̃e gbe ɖeka le zã me.
12 Kwakukhona lapho kanye lathi ijaha umHebheru, inceku yenduna yabalindi; sayilandisela yasichasisela amaphupho ethu, yachasisa ngamunye njengephupho lakhe.
Míelĩ drɔ̃eawo na Hebri ɖekakpui aɖe, ame si nye ŋuwòdzɔlawo ƒe amegã la ƒe kluvi le gaxɔa me, eye wòɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme na mí.
13 Kwasekusithi njengokusichasisela kwayo kwaba njalo; mina wangibuyisela esikhundleni sami, yena wamlengisa.
“Eye nu sia nu va eme tututu abe ale si wògblɔe ene; nye ahakudɔ gaka asinye, wotso ta le aboloƒola nu, eye wotɔ eƒe ŋutilã ɖe ati nu.”
14 UFaro wasethumela wabiza uJosefa; bamkhupha emgodini ngokuphangisa; esephucile wafaka ezinye izigqoko, wangena kuFaro.
Farao ɖo du ɖe Yosef enumake. Woɖee le gaxɔa me kaba; eko ta, di awu bubuwo do alɔtsɔtsɔe, eye wòdo ɖe Farao ŋkume.
15 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Ngiphuphile iphupho, kodwa kakho olichasisayo; njalo mina ngizwile ngawe ukuthi: Usizwa iphupho, uyalichasisa.
Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Meku drɔ̃e aɖe le zã si va yi la me, gake ame siawo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe egɔme nam o. Ke mese be ètea ŋu ɖea drɔ̃ewo gɔme, eya ta mena woyɔ wò nam.”
16 UJosefa wasemphendula uFaro esithi: Kakukho kimi. UNkulunkulu uzaphendula impilakahle kaFaro.
Yosef gblɔ na Farao be, “Nyemate ŋu aɖe drɔ̃e la gɔme le ɖokuinye si o, ke Mawu ya ate ŋu aɖe drɔ̃ea gɔme na wò!”
17 UFaro wasekhuluma kuJosefa wathi: Ephutsheni lami, khangela, ngangimi ekhunjini lomfula;
Ale Farao lĩ drɔ̃e la nɛ be, “Metsi tsitre ɖe Nil tɔsisi la to;
18 njalo khangela, kwakhuphuka emfuleni amankomokazi ayisikhombisa, anonileyo enyameni, akhangeleka emahle, adla emihlangeni.
tete nyi dami siwo ƒe lãme nyo nyuie la do tso tɔsisi la me, eye wode asi gbeɖuɖu me le tɔsisi la to.
19 Khangela-ke, amanye amankomokazi ayisikhombisa akhuphuka emva kwawo, ayangekileyo, akhangeleka emabi kakhulu, acakileyo enyameni; angizanga ngiwabone anjengawo ngobubi elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
Ke nyi bubu adre do tso tɔsisi la me. Woawo ɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui; nyemekpɔ nyinɔ ɖiku mawo tɔgbi kpɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi o.
20 Kwathi amankomokazi acakileyo lamabi adla amankomokazi ayisikhombisa okuqala anonileyo.
Nyi ɖiku siawo lé nyinɔ dami siwo do tso tɔsisi la me gbã la mi,
21 Lapho esengene esiswini sawo, kakubonakalanga ukuthi angenile esiswini sawo, ngoba ekhangeleka kubi njengakuqala. Ngasengiphaphama.
eye emegbe la, wogaɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui abe ale si tututu wonɔ tsã la ene, eye menyɔ!
22 Ngasengibona ephutsheni lami, khangela-ke, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa zikhahlela ehlangeni linye, zigcwele zilungile;
“Eteƒe medidi kura hafi megaku drɔ̃e bubu o. Azɔ ya la, bli adre nɔ bliti ɖeka dzi; bliawo katã ʋã nyuie.
23 njalo khangela, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezitshwabheneyo, ezicakileyo, ezihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga zakhahlela emva kwazo.
Bli adre bubuwo gado ɖe bliti ma ke dzi, ke woawo meʋã o, ke boŋ woyrɔ.
24 Njalo izikhwebu ezicakileyo zaginya izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezilungileyo. Njalo ngakulandisela izangoma; kodwa kwakungekho esangichasiselayo.
Bli yɔyrɔawo mi bli ʋaʋãwo. “Megblɔ esiawo katã na nye afakalawo, ke wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe wo gɔme nam o.”
25 UJosefa wasesithi kuFaro: Iphupho likaFaro linye. Lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo, umazisile uFaro.
Yosef gblɔ na Farao be, “Gɔmeɖeɖe ɖeka koe le drɔ̃e eveawo si. Mawu nɔ nu si wòava wɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi la gblɔm na wò.
26 Amankomokazi ayisikhombisa alungileyo ayiminyaka eyisikhombisa; lezikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezilungileyo ziyiminyaka eyisikhombisa. Iphupho linye.
Nyi dami adreawo kple bli ʋaʋã adreawo fia be le ƒe adre siwo gbɔna me la, nuɖuɖu abɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.
27 Njalo amankomokazi acakileyo lamabi akhuphuka emva kwawo ayiminyaka eyisikhombisa; lezikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezicakileyo ezihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga zizakuba yiminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala.
Nyi ɖiku adreawo kple bli maʋamaʋã yɔyrɔ adreawo fia be ƒe adre ƒe dɔwuame adze ƒe adre siwo me nuɖuɖu abɔ la yome.
28 Le yinto engiyikhulume kuFaro ukuthi: Lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo, ukutshengisile kuFaro.
“Ale Mawu ɖe nu si wɔ ge wòala la fia wò.
29 Khangela, kuyeza iminyaka eyisikhombisa yenala enkulu elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
Nuɖuɖu abɔ ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi le ƒe adre gbãtɔ siwo gbɔna la me.
30 Kuzavela iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala emva kwayo; izakhohlakala-ke inala yonke elizweni leGibhithe; njalo indlala izaliqeda ilizwe.
Ke le ƒe mawo yome la, dɔwuame ava ƒe adre, eye enu asesẽ ale gbegbe be nuɖuɖu si bɔ tsã la avɔ, woaŋlɔ woƒe bɔbɔ kpɔ be le Egipte, eye dɔwuame agblẽ anyigba la dzi.
31 Njalo inala kayiyikwaziwa elizweni ngenxa yaleyondlala emva kwalokho, ngoba izakuba nzima kakhulu.
“Dɔwuame la nu asesẽ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke magaɖo ŋku edzi be nuɖuɖu bɔ kpɔ o.
32 Njalo ukuthi iphupho liphindwe kabili kuFaro, kungoba into le imisiwe nguNkulunkulu, futhi uNkulunkulu uyaphangisa ukukwenza.
Drɔ̃e eve siawo le nu eve fiam Farao; wofia be nya siwo megblɔ na mi la le eme va ge kokoko, elabena Mawu ɖo wo da ɖi, eye woava eme kaba.
33 Khathesi-ke uFaro kakhangele indoda eqedisisayo lehlakaniphileyo, ayibeke phezu kwelizwe leGibhithe.
Susu si mado ɖa lae nye be Farao nadi nunyala gãtɔ kekeake le Egipte, eye nàtsɔe aɖo agbledede ƒe ɖoɖowo nu le anyigba blibo la dzi.
34 UFaro kenze lokhu, abeke ababonisi phezu kwelizwe, athathe ingxenye yesihlanu yelizwe leGibhithe eminyakeni eyisikhombisa yenala.
Mina Farao natia dɔdzikpɔla ɖe anyigba la dzi be woaxɔ Egipte ƒe nuŋeŋe ƒe atɔ̃lia ɖeka le ƒe adreawo me.
35 Kababuthe konke ukudla kwaliminyaka elungileyo ezayo, njalo kababuthelele amabele ngaphansi kwesandla sikaFaro, kube yikudla emizini, bawagcine.
Woaƒo nuɖuɖuawo nu ƒu le ƒe nyui siwo gbɔna la me, eye woadzra wo ɖo ɖe avawo me le duwo me na Farao,
36 Njalo ukudla kuzakuba yisiphala selizwe okweminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala ezakuba khona elizweni leGibhithe, ukuze ilizwe lingabhujiswa yindlala.
ale be nuɖuɖu nasɔ gbɔ ate ŋu akplɔ mí to ƒe adre siwo dɔwuame anɔ anyi le Egipte la me. Ne menye nenema o la, tsɔtsrɔ̃ ava anyigba la dzi.”
37 Njalo into le yabanhle emehlweni kaFaro lemehlweni ezinceku zakhe zonke.
Farao kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo xɔ Yosef ƒe nyawo.
38 UFaro wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Singamthola yini onjengaye, indoda okuyo uMoya kaNkulunkulu?
Esi wode ŋugble tso ame si woahiã na dɔ sia ŋu la, Farao gblɔ be, “Ame kae ate ŋu awɔ dɔ vevi sia nyuie wu Yosef? Elabena enye ame si yɔ fũu kple Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ.”
39 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Njengalokhu uNkulunkulu ekwazisile konke lokhu, kakho oqedisisayo lohlakaniphileyo njengawe.
Farao trɔ ɖe Yosef gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Zi ale si Mawu ɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme fia wò ko la, wòe nye nunyala gãtɔ le dukɔa me,
40 Wena uzakuba phezu kwendlu yami, njalo emlonyeni wakho bonke abantu bami bazabuswa; kuphela esihlalweni sobukhosi ngizakuba mkhulu kulawe.
eya ta metsɔ wò ɖo dɔ blibo la nu. Nya sia nya si nàgblɔ la, woawɔ edzi le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi. Nye ɖeka koe aganye amegã na wò.”
41 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Khangela, ngikubekile phezu kwelizwe lonke leGibhithe.
Ale Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Meto esia me tsɔ wò ɖo Egiptenyigba blibo la nu.”
42 UFaro wasekhupha indandatho yakhe elophawu lwakhe esandleni sakhe, wayifaka esandleni sikaJosefa, wamgqokisa izigqoko zelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, wamgaxa iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe.
Tete Farao ɖe eƒe ŋkɔsigɛ le asi hetsɔ de na Yosef; edo aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu nɛ, eye wòde sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ kɔ nɛ.
43 Wamhambisa enqoleni yesibili ayelayo; njalo bamemeza phambi kwakhe besithi: Guqani! Ngokunjalo wambeka phezu kwelizwe lonke leGibhithe.
Emegbe la, Farao tsɔ tasiaɖam si kplɔ fia tɔ ɖo la na Yosef, eye afi sia afi si wòyi ko la, ɣli ɖina be, “Midze klo!”
44 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: NginguFaro; kodwa ngaphandle kwakho kakho ozaphakamisa isandla sakhe loba unyawo lwakhe elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Nye, Egipte fia, meka atam na wò be, ànɔ Egiptenyigba blibo la nu le go sia go me.”
45 UFaro wasebiza ibizo likaJosefa ngokuthi uZafenathi-Paneya. Wamnika uAsenathi, indodakazi kaPotifera umpristi weOni, ukuthi abe ngumkakhe. UJosefa wasephuma wadabula elizweni leGibhithe.
Farao tsɔ ŋkɔ yeye na Yosef be Zafenat Paneah. Ŋkɔ sia gɔmee nye “Amewo ƒe agbeɖela, Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ tɔgbi ɖe ku kple agbe dzi.” Farao tsɔ nyɔnuvi aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Asenat, eye wònye Potifera, ame si nye On nunɔla la, ƒe vinyɔnu na Yosef wòɖe. Ale Yosef zu ame xɔŋkɔ aɖe le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi.
46 Njalo uJosefa wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu mhla esima phambi kukaFaro inkosi yeGibhithe. UJosefa wasephuma esuka ebusweni bukaFaro, wadabula ilizwe lonke leGibhithe.
Exɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ esi wòge ɖe Farao, Egipte fia ƒe dɔ me. Yosef dzo le Farao gbɔ, eye wòde asi tsatsa me le anyigba blibo la dzi.
47 Umhlaba wathela ngezandla ezigcweleyo eminyakeni eyisikhombisa yenala.
Vavã, le ƒe adre gbãtɔwo me la, nukuwo wɔ nyuie ŋutɔ le afi sia afi.
48 Waseqoqa konke ukudla kweminyaka eyisikhombisa eyayiselizweni leGibhithe, wabeka ukudla emizini; ukudla kwensimu ezingelezele lowo lalowomuzi wakubeka kuwo.
Le ƒe mawo me la, Yosef de se be woatsɔ nuku ɖe sia ɖe si woaxa le Egipte la ƒe akpa aɖe ana dziɖuɖu, eye woadzra wo ɖo ɖe avawo me le du gãwo me.
49 UJosefa wasebuthelela amabele njengetshebetshebe lolwandle, aba manengi kakhulu, waze wayekela ukubala, ngoba ayengelanani.
Le ƒe adrea ƒe nuwuwu la, avawo yɔ, eye nuɖuɖu si wodzɔ na dziɖuɖu la sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke meganya akɔnta le eŋu o.
50 Wasezalelwa uJosefa amadodana amabili, ungakafiki umnyaka wendlala, amzalela wona uAsenathi indodakazi kaPotifera umpristi weOni.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me, hafi dɔwuame ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ naɖo la, Asenat, Potifera si nye On nunɔla ƒe vinyɔnu la dzi vi eve na Yosef.
51 UJosefa wasebiza ibizo lezibulo wathi nguManase, wathi: Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungenze ukuthi ngikhohlwe konke ukuhlupheka kwami lendlu yonke kababa.
Ena ŋkɔ gbãtɔ be Manase si gɔmee nye “Meŋlɔ be.” Nu si Yosef di be yeafia lae nye be Mawu ve ye nu ale gbegbe be yeŋlɔ yeƒe ɖekakpuimefuwo kple yeƒe dzodzo le yewo de be.
52 Lebizo leyesibili walibiza wathi nguEfrayimi, wathi: Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungenze ukuthi ngibe lezithelo elizweni lokuhlupheka kwami.
Ena ŋkɔ Via ŋutsu evelia be Efraim si gɔmee nye “Kutsetse,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu na metse ku le teƒe sia, afi si menye kluvi le.”
53 Kwasekuphela iminyaka eyisikhombisa yenala eyayiselizweni leGibhithe.
Ale ƒe adre siwo me nuɖuɖu bɔ le Egipte la wu enu,
54 Kwasekuqala ukufika iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala, njengoba uJosefa wayetshilo. Kwasekusiba khona indlala emazweni wonke, kodwa elizweni lonke leGibhithe kwakukhona isinkwa.
eye dɔwuame ƒe ƒe adreawo dze egɔme abe ale si Yosef gblɔe da ɖi ene. Nukuwo gblẽ le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo la me, ke nuɖuɖu bɔ ɖe avawo me le Egipte.
55 Kwathi ilizwe leGibhithe lonke selilamba, abantu bakhala ngesinkwa kuFaro. UFaro wasesithi kuwo wonke amaGibhithe: Yanini kuJosefa, lenze lokho alitshela khona.
Dɔ de asi Egipte dukɔ la wuwu me. Woɖe kuku na Farao be wòana nuɖuɖu yewo. Eɖo wo ɖe Yosef gbɔ kple nya siawo be, “Miwɔ nu sia nu si wòagblɔ na mi be miawɔ la.”
56 Kwathi sekulendlala ebusweni belizwe lonke, uJosefa wavula zonke iziphala, wathengisela amaGibhithe; indlala-ke yaba lamandla elizweni leGibhithe.
Esi dɔwuame kaka ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi la, Yosef ʋu avawo, eye wòdzra nuɖuɖu na Egiptetɔwo, elabena dɔwuame la nu sesẽ le anyigba la katã dzi.
57 Lonke ilizwe lafika eGibhithe kuJosefa ukuthenga, ngoba indlala yayilamandla emhlabeni wonke.
Eye amewo tso dukɔwo katã me va Egipte be yewoaƒle bli le Yosef gbɔ, elabena dɔwuame la nu sesẽ le xexea me katã.
