UGenesisi 41
1 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka emibili egcweleyo uFaro waphupha; khangela-ke, emi emfuleni.
Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka ebiri emirambirira, Falaawo n’aloota ng’ayimiridde ku mugga Kiyira;
2 Khangela-ke, emfuleni kwakhuphuka amankomokazi ayisikhombisa, ekhangeleka emahle, enonile enyameni; adla emihlangeni.
laba mu mugga ne muvaamu ente ennungi ensava musanvu, ne ziriira mu bisaalu.
3 Khangela-ke, amanye amankomokazi ayisikhombisa akhuphuka emfuleni emva kwawo, ekhangeleka kubi, ecakile enyameni; ema eduze lamankomokazi ekhunjini lomfula.
Era laba ente endala embi enkovvu musanvu nazo ne ziva mu mugga, ne ziyimirira wamu na ziri ku lubalama lw’omugga.
4 Amankomokazi akhangeleka kubi acakileyo enyameni adla amankomokazi akhangeleka kuhle anonileyo. UFaro wasephaphama.
Ente enkovvu, embi ne zirya ente ennungi ensava. Awo Falaawo n’azuukuka.
5 Walala futhi, waphupha ngokwesibili; khangela-ke, kwakhahlela izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ehlangeni linye, ezigcweleyo zilungile.
Ate n’addamu okwebaka n’aloota ekirooto ekirala, laba ebirimba eby’emmere ey’empeke musanvu ebigimu nga biri ku kiti kimu.
6 Khangela-ke, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezicakileyo, zihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga, zakhahlela emva kwazo.
Era laba oluvannyuma ebirimba ebirala musanvu nga bikaze olw’empewo ez’ebbugumu ez’ebuvanjuba nabyo ne biddirira.
7 Izikhwebu ezicakileyo zaginya izikhwebu ezipheleleyo ezigcweleyo. UFaro wasephaphama, khangela-ke, kwakuliphupho.
Awo ebirimba biri ebikaze ne bimira ebirimba biri omusanvu ebigimu ebirungi. Falaawo n’azuukuka, laba nga kibadde kirooto.
8 Kwasekusithi ekuseni umoya wakhe wakhathazeka; wathumela wabiza izangoma zonke zeGibhithe lazo zonke izazi zayo. UFaro wazilandisela iphupho lakhe; kodwa kwakungekho ongamchasisela wona uFaro.
Awo ku makya Falaawo ne yeeraliikirira; n’atumya ne baleeta abalogo bonna ab’e Misiri, n’abagezigezi baamu bonna; Falaawo n’abategeeza ekirooto kye, kyokka ne watabaawo n’omu eyasobola okukivvuunulira Falaawo.
9 Induna yabaphathinkezo yasikhuluma kuFaro isithi: Lamuhla ngiyakhumbula amacala ami.
Awo omusenero wa Falaawo n’agamba Falaawo nti, “Ntegedde nasobya nnyo.
10 UFaro wazithukuthelela inceku zakhe, wanginikela esitokisini, endlini yenduna yabalindi, mina lenduna yabaphekizinkwa;
Falaawo bwe yasunguwalira abaddu be, nze n’omukulu w’abafumbi n’atuteeka mu kkomera,
11 njalo saphupha iphupho ngabusuku bunye, mina layo. Saphupha, ngamunye njengengcazelo yephupho lakhe.
ekiro kimu omukulu wa bafumbi nange twaloota ebirooto, nga buli kimu kirina amakulu ga njawulo ku kinnaakyo.
12 Kwakukhona lapho kanye lathi ijaha umHebheru, inceku yenduna yabalindi; sayilandisela yasichasisela amaphupho ethu, yachasisa ngamunye njengephupho lakhe.
Mu ffe mwalimu omuvubuka Omwebbulaniya nga muddu wa mukulu w’abambowa; bwe twamutegeeza nannyonnyola buli omu ekirooto kye nga bwe kyali.
13 Kwasekusithi njengokusichasisela kwayo kwaba njalo; mina wangibuyisela esikhundleni sami, yena wamlengisa.
Nga bwe yatunnyonnyola era bwe kityo bwe kyali; nze nazzibwa ku mulimu gwange, ye omufumbiro, n’awanikibwa ku muti.”
14 UFaro wasethumela wabiza uJosefa; bamkhupha emgodini ngokuphangisa; esephucile wafaka ezinye izigqoko, wangena kuFaro.
Awo Falaawo n’atumya baleete Yusufu, ne bamuleeta mangu okumuggya mu kkomera. Bwe yamala okumwebwa omutwe n’okukyusa engoye ze, n’ajja mu maaso ga Falaawo.
15 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Ngiphuphile iphupho, kodwa kakho olichasisayo; njalo mina ngizwile ngawe ukuthi: Usizwa iphupho, uyalichasisa.
Falaawo n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Naloose ekirooto, naye tewali n’omu ayinza kukivvuunula.”
16 UJosefa wasemphendula uFaro esithi: Kakukho kimi. UNkulunkulu uzaphendula impilakahle kaFaro.
Yusufu n’addamu Falaawo nti, “Si nze nzija okukikola, wabula Katonda y’anaabuulira Falaawo amakulu gaakyo.”
17 UFaro wasekhuluma kuJosefa wathi: Ephutsheni lami, khangela, ngangimi ekhunjini lomfula;
Awo Falaawo n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Laba, bwe nabadde nga nneebase ne ndoota nga nnyimiridde ku lubalama lw’omugga Kiyira;
18 njalo khangela, kwakhuphuka emfuleni amankomokazi ayisikhombisa, anonileyo enyameni, akhangeleka emahle, adla emihlangeni.
ente ennungi ensava musanvu ne ziva mu mugga ne ziriira mu bisaalu;
19 Khangela-ke, amanye amankomokazi ayisikhombisa akhuphuka emva kwawo, ayangekileyo, akhangeleka emabi kakhulu, acakileyo enyameni; angizanga ngiwabone anjengawo ngobubi elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
ate ente endala ennafu embi ennyo enkovvu ze sirabangako mu nsi y’e Misiri nazo ne zijja.
20 Kwathi amankomokazi acakileyo lamabi adla amankomokazi ayisikhombisa okuqala anonileyo.
Awo ente embi enkovvu ne zirya ente ziri omusanvu ensava ezaasoose,
21 Lapho esengene esiswini sawo, kakubonakalanga ukuthi angenile esiswini sawo, ngoba ekhangeleka kubi njengakuqala. Ngasengiphaphama.
naye bwe zamaze okuzirya nga toyinza na kutegeera nti ziziridde, kubanga nga nkovvu nga bwe zaabadde olubereberye. Awo ne ndyoka nzuukuka.
22 Ngasengibona ephutsheni lami, khangela-ke, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa zikhahlela ehlangeni linye, zigcwele zilungile;
“Ate era mu kirooto kyange nalabye ebirimba ebigimu ebirungi musanvu nga biri ku kiti kimu,
23 njalo khangela, izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezitshwabheneyo, ezicakileyo, ezihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga zakhahlela emva kwazo.
n’ebirimba ebirala musanvu ebikaze olw’empewo ez’ebbugumu ez’ebuvanjuba, nabyo ne bivaayo.
24 Njalo izikhwebu ezicakileyo zaginya izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezilungileyo. Njalo ngakulandisela izangoma; kodwa kwakungekho esangichasiselayo.
Ebirimba ebikaze ne bimira biri ebigimu. Ebyo nabitegeezezza abagezigezi ne wabulawo n’omu abivvuunula.”
25 UJosefa wasesithi kuFaro: Iphupho likaFaro linye. Lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo, umazisile uFaro.
Awo Yusufu n’agamba Falaawo nti, “Ekirooto kya Falaawo kiri kimu: Katonda alaze Falaawo ky’agenda okukola.
26 Amankomokazi ayisikhombisa alungileyo ayiminyaka eyisikhombisa; lezikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezilungileyo ziyiminyaka eyisikhombisa. Iphupho linye.
Ente omusanvu ennungi gy’emyaka musanvu n’ebirimba omusanvu ebigimu gy’emyaka musanvu; ekirooto kiri kimu.
27 Njalo amankomokazi acakileyo lamabi akhuphuka emva kwawo ayiminyaka eyisikhombisa; lezikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezicakileyo ezihangulwe ngumoya wempumalanga zizakuba yiminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala.
Ente omusanvu embi enkovvu ezajja oluvannyuma, gy’emyaka musanvu, n’ebirimba omusanvu ebikaze olw’empewo ez’ebbugumu ez’ebuvanjuba gy’emyaka omusanvu egy’enjala.
28 Le yinto engiyikhulume kuFaro ukuthi: Lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo, ukutshengisile kuFaro.
“Nga bwe ŋŋambye Falaawo, Katonda alaze Falaawo ekyo ky’agenda okukola.
29 Khangela, kuyeza iminyaka eyisikhombisa yenala enkulu elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
Wajja kubaawo emyaka musanvu egy’ekyengera mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri,
30 Kuzavela iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala emva kwayo; izakhohlakala-ke inala yonke elizweni leGibhithe; njalo indlala izaliqeda ilizwe.
naye oluvannyuma lwagyo waliddawo emyaka musanvu egy’enjala eryerabiza ekyengera mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri; enjala eribuna ensi.
31 Njalo inala kayiyikwaziwa elizweni ngenxa yaleyondlala emva kwalokho, ngoba izakuba nzima kakhulu.
Ekyengera tekirimanyika n’akatono olw’enjala empitirivu era embi ennyo, eribuna Misiri yenna.
32 Njalo ukuthi iphupho liphindwe kabili kuFaro, kungoba into le imisiwe nguNkulunkulu, futhi uNkulunkulu uyaphangisa ukukwenza.
Ekirooto kya Falaawo kyekivudde kiddiŋŋanwa, kitegeeza nti ekintu Katonda akikakasa era ajja kukituukiriza mangu.
33 Khathesi-ke uFaro kakhangele indoda eqedisisayo lehlakaniphileyo, ayibeke phezu kwelizwe leGibhithe.
Kale kaakano Falaawo alonde omusajja omukalabakalaba era ow’amagezi amuwe obuvunaanyizibwa ku nsi yonna ey’e Misiri.
34 UFaro kenze lokhu, abeke ababonisi phezu kwelizwe, athathe ingxenye yesihlanu yelizwe leGibhithe eminyakeni eyisikhombisa yenala.
Era asseewo abalabirira balabirire ensi bakuŋŋaanye ekimu ekyokutaano eky’emmere ey’empeke yonna mu nsi ey’e Misiri okumalirako ddala emyaka omusanvu egy’ekyengera.
35 Kababuthe konke ukudla kwaliminyaka elungileyo ezayo, njalo kababuthelele amabele ngaphansi kwesandla sikaFaro, kube yikudla emizini, bawagcine.
Bakuŋŋaanye emmere eyo mu myaka egijja egy’ekyengera, bazimbe ebyagi ebinene mu buli kibuga bagikuŋŋaanyize omwo olw’ekiragiro kya Falaawo, bagikuume.
36 Njalo ukudla kuzakuba yisiphala selizwe okweminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala ezakuba khona elizweni leGibhithe, ukuze ilizwe lingabhujiswa yindlala.
Emmere eyo eriterekebwa olw’enjala eriba mu nsi okumalako emyaka omusanvu egy’enjala erigwa mu Misiri yonna; ensi ereme okuzikirizibwa enjala.”
37 Njalo into le yabanhle emehlweni kaFaro lemehlweni ezinceku zakhe zonke.
Ebigambo bya Yusufu ne biwulikika bulungi mu matu ga Falaawo n’ag’abaweereza be bonna.
38 UFaro wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Singamthola yini onjengaye, indoda okuyo uMoya kaNkulunkulu?
Falaawo n’agamba abaweereza be nti, “Tuyinza okufuna omuntu ng’ono Yusufu omuli Omwoyo wa Katonda?”
39 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Njengalokhu uNkulunkulu ekwazisile konke lokhu, kakho oqedisisayo lohlakaniphileyo njengawe.
Awo Falaawo n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Katonda nga bw’akulaze bino byonna, tewali mulala mukalabakalaba, omugezi okukwenkana ggwe.
40 Wena uzakuba phezu kwendlu yami, njalo emlonyeni wakho bonke abantu bami bazabuswa; kuphela esihlalweni sobukhosi ngizakuba mkhulu kulawe.
Gw’onoofuganga olubiri lwange, era abantu bange banaakolanga kyonna ky’onoobalagiranga; wabula nze kabaka n’abanga waggulu wo.”
41 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: Khangela, ngikubekile phezu kwelizwe lonke leGibhithe.
Awo Falaawo n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Laba, nkutadde wo okufuga ensi yonna ey’e Misiri.”
42 UFaro wasekhupha indandatho yakhe elophawu lwakhe esandleni sakhe, wayifaka esandleni sikaJosefa, wamgqokisa izigqoko zelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, wamgaxa iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe.
Olwo Falaawo n’alyoka aggya empeta ku ngalo ye n’aginaanika Yusufu, n’amwambaza ekyambalo ekya linena omulungi, n’omukuufu ogwa zaabu mu bulago bwe.
43 Wamhambisa enqoleni yesibili ayelayo; njalo bamemeza phambi kwakhe besithi: Guqani! Ngokunjalo wambeka phezu kwelizwe lonke leGibhithe.
N’amuwa n’okutambuliranga mu ggaali lye eriddirira mu kitiibwa ng’erya Falaawo mwe yatambuliranga. Bonna ne bavuunama mu maaso ga Yusufu nga bwe bagamba nti, “Muvuuname.” Bw’atyo Falaawo n’amuteekawo okufuga ensi yonna ey’e Misiri.
44 UFaro wasesithi kuJosefa: NginguFaro; kodwa ngaphandle kwakho kakho ozaphakamisa isandla sakhe loba unyawo lwakhe elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
Falaawo n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Nze Falaawo, naye awatali kigambo kyo tewali muntu aliyimusa mukono gwe newaakubadde ekigere kye mu Misiri.”
45 UFaro wasebiza ibizo likaJosefa ngokuthi uZafenathi-Paneya. Wamnika uAsenathi, indodakazi kaPotifera umpristi weOni, ukuthi abe ngumkakhe. UJosefa wasephuma wadabula elizweni leGibhithe.
Falaawo n’atuuma Yusufu erinnya Zafenasipaneya; n’amuwa Asenaasi muwala wa Potiferi kabona wa Oni okuba mukazi we. Bw’atyo Yusufu n’atambula okubuna Misiri yonna.
46 Njalo uJosefa wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu mhla esima phambi kukaFaro inkosi yeGibhithe. UJosefa wasephuma esuka ebusweni bukaFaro, wadabula ilizwe lonke leGibhithe.
Yusufu yali aweza emyaka amakumi asatu bwe yatandika okuweereza Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri. Awo Yusufu n’ava mu maaso ga Falaawo n’agenda n’abuna Misiri yenna.
47 Umhlaba wathela ngezandla ezigcweleyo eminyakeni eyisikhombisa yenala.
Mu myaka omusanvu egy’ekyengera emmere yabala n’ekamala.
48 Waseqoqa konke ukudla kweminyaka eyisikhombisa eyayiselizweni leGibhithe, wabeka ukudla emizini; ukudla kwensimu ezingelezele lowo lalowomuzi wakubeka kuwo.
Yusufu n’akuŋŋaanya emmere mu Misiri mu myaka omusanvu egy’ekyengera n’agiterekera mu byagi ebinene mu bibuga. Mu buli kibuga n’akuŋŋaanyizamu emmere eyavanga mu nnimiro ezikyetoolodde.
49 UJosefa wasebuthelela amabele njengetshebetshebe lolwandle, aba manengi kakhulu, waze wayekela ukubala, ngoba ayengelanani.
Yusufu n’atereka emmere mpitirivu, n’ebanga omusenyu ogw’oku nnyanja, okutuusa lwe yalekeraawo okugipima, nga tekisoboka kugipima.
50 Wasezalelwa uJosefa amadodana amabili, ungakafiki umnyaka wendlala, amzalela wona uAsenathi indodakazi kaPotifera umpristi weOni.
Omwaka ogw’enjala nga tegunnatuuka Yusufu yafuna abaana aboobulenzi babiri, Asenaasi, muwala wa Potiferi kabona wa Oni be yamuzaalira.
51 UJosefa wasebiza ibizo lezibulo wathi nguManase, wathi: Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungenze ukuthi ngikhohlwe konke ukuhlupheka kwami lendlu yonke kababa.
Omwana eyasooka yamutuuma Manase, kubanga Yusufu yagamba nti, “Katonda anneerabizza obuzibu bwange bwonna, n’ennyumba ya kitange.”
52 Lebizo leyesibili walibiza wathi nguEfrayimi, wathi: Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungenze ukuthi ngibe lezithelo elizweni lokuhlupheka kwami.
Owookubiri n’amutuuma Efulayimu, kubanga yagamba nti, “Katonda anjazizza mu nsi mwe nabonaabonera.”
53 Kwasekuphela iminyaka eyisikhombisa yenala eyayiselizweni leGibhithe.
Awo emyaka omusanvu egy’ekyengera ekyali mu nsi y’e Misiri ne giggwaako.
54 Kwasekuqala ukufika iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala, njengoba uJosefa wayetshilo. Kwasekusiba khona indlala emazweni wonke, kodwa elizweni lonke leGibhithe kwakukhona isinkwa.
Emyaka omusanvu egy’enjala ne gitandika nga Yusufu bwe yayogera. Enjala n’egwa n’ebuna mu nsi zonna, kyokka yo mu Misiri nga emmere mweri.
55 Kwathi ilizwe leGibhithe lonke selilamba, abantu bakhala ngesinkwa kuFaro. UFaro wasesithi kuwo wonke amaGibhithe: Yanini kuJosefa, lenze lokho alitshela khona.
Enjala bwe yagwa mu Misiri, abantu ne bakaabira Falaawo olw’emmere. Falaawo n’agamba Abamisiri nti, “Mugende eri Yusufu; ky’anaabagamba, kye muba mukola.”
56 Kwathi sekulendlala ebusweni belizwe lonke, uJosefa wavula zonke iziphala, wathengisela amaGibhithe; indlala-ke yaba lamandla elizweni leGibhithe.
Kale enjala bwe yabuna Misiri, Yusufu n’asumulula ebyagi by’emmere byonna; n’aguza Abamisiri emmere.
57 Lonke ilizwe lafika eGibhithe kuJosefa ukuthenga, ngoba indlala yayilamandla emhlabeni wonke.
Ensi zonna nazo ne zijja e Misiri eri Yusufu okugula emmere; kubanga enjala yayitirira mu nsi zonna.
