1 Mose 37
1 Yosef tenaa Kanaan asase a na nʼagya te so sɛ ɔhɔho no so.
Jakobho akagara munyika yakanga yambogarwa nababa vake, iyo nyika yeKenani.
2 Yosef abusua ho asɛm ni: Bere a Yakob ba Yosef dii mfirihyia dunson no, na ɔboa ne nuanom a wɔyɛ Bilha ne Silpa a wɔyɛ nʼagya yerenom no mmabarima no hwɛ wɔn agya nguan so. Na ɔtaa bɛka nneyɛe bɔne a ɛkɔ so fa ne nuanom no ho no kyerɛ wɔn agya.
Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yaJakobho. Josefa jaya ramakore gumi namanomwe, akanga achifudza makwai pamwe chete namadzikoma ake, vanakomana vaBhiriha navanakomana vaZiripa, vakadzi vababa vake, uye akauya namashoko akaipa kuna baba vavo pamusoro pavo.
3 Na Israel pɛ ne ba Yosef asɛm sen ne mma a wɔaka no nyinaa, efisɛ ɔwoo no ne nkwakoraabere mu; ɛno nti, ɔpam batakari bi a ɛyɛ fɛ maa no.
Zvino Israeri akanga achida Josefa kupfuura vamwe vavanakomana vake, nokuti akanga aberekwa panguva youtana hwake; uye akamuitira nguo yakaisvonaka.
4 Bere a ne nuanom no huu sɛ wɔn agya pɛ nʼasɛm sen wɔn nyinaa no, wɔtan no a na wɔnka abodwosɛm nkyerɛ no.
Madzikoma ake akati aona kuti baba vavo vaimuda kupfuura ani zvake pakati pavo, vakamuvenga uye vakasagona kutaura naye mashoko akanaka.
5 Da bi, Yosef soo dae. Ɔkaa dae a ɔsoo no kyerɛɛ ne nuanom mmarima no, wɔtan no sen kan no mpo.
Josefa akarota hope, uye paakaudza madzikoma ake izvozvo, vakanyanya kumuvenga.
6 Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Muntie dae bi a maso.
Akati kwavari, “Inzwai hope dzandakarota idzi:
7 Mesoo dae, na yɛrekyekyere aburow afiafi wɔ afum. Bere a yegu so rekyekyere aburow no, amono mu hɔ ara, mʼafiafi a makyekyere no sɔre gyinaa ntenten. Mo afiafi a moakyekyere no nso twaa me de no ho hyia kotow no.”
Takanga tichisunga zvisote zvezviyo kumunda onei pakarepo chisote changu chakasimuka chikamira chakati twi, asi zvisote zvenyu zvakaungana zvakapoteredza changu uye zvikakotama kwachiri.”
8 Yosef nuanom no bisaa no se, “Enti wʼadwene ne sɛ wubedi yɛn so ana? Wugye di sɛ, ampa ara, wubetumi aka yɛn ahyɛ?” Esiane ne dae a ɔsoo no ne asɛm a ɔkae no nti, ɛmaa ne nuanom no kyii no kɔkɔɔkɔ.
Madzikoma ake akati kwaari, “Ko, iwe unoda kutitonga here? Ko, zvirokwazvo uchatitonga here iwe?” Uye vakanyanyisa kumuvenga nokuda kwokurota kwake uye nokuda kwezvaakanga ataura.
9 Na ɔsoo dae bio. Ɔkaa dae a ɔsoo no kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Muntie: Maso dae foforo bio. Mesoo dae, na owia, ɔsram ne nsoromma dubaako rekotow me.”
Ipapo akarotazve dzimwe hope, uye akadzitaura kumadzikoma ake. Akati, “Inzwai, ndarota dzimwe hope, uye panguva iyi zuva nomwedzi nenyeredzi gumi neimwe zvanga zvichindipfugamira.”
10 Ɔkaa dae no kyerɛɛ nʼagya ne ne nuabarimanom no, nʼagya kaa nʼanim se, “Dae bɛn na woaso yi? Wopɛ sɛ wokyerɛ sɛ ampa ara, wo na ne me ne wo nuabarimanom no bɛba abɛkotow wo ana?”
Paakaudza baba vake pamwe chete namadzikoma ake, baba vake vakamutsiura vakati, “Kurotai kwawakaita uku? Ko, mai vako neni namadzikoma ako tichauya kuzokupfugamira here iwe zvirokwazvo?”
11 Eyi maa ne nuabarimanom no ani beree no mmoroso. Nanso nʼagya de, ɔdwenee asɛm no ho kɔɔ akyiri.
Madzikoma ake akamuitira godo, asi baba vake vakazvichengeta mumwoyo mavo.
12 Da bi, Yosef nuabarimanom no de wɔn agya nguan kɔɔ adidi wɔ Sekem.
Zvino madzikoma ake akanga abuda kundofudza makwai ababa vavo pedyo neShekemu,
13 Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Sɛnea wunim no, wo nuanom no de mmoa no kɔ adidi wɔ Sekem. Bra, na mensoma wo wɔn nkyɛn.” Yosef buae se, “Yoo, agya, mate.”
uye Israeri akati kuna Josefa, “Sezvaunoziva, madzikoma ako ari kufudza makwai pedyo neShekemu. Uya, ndikutume kwavari.” Iye akati, “Zvakanaka.”
14 Enti Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Kɔ na kɔhwɛ sɛ wo nuanom ne nguan no ho te dɛn, na san bɛka biribi kyerɛ me.” Enti Israel somaa Yosef fii Hebron subon no mu. Bere a Yosef duu Sekem no,
Saka akati kwaari, “Enda undoona kana zvinhu zvakanaka kumadzikoma ako nezvipfuwo, ugodzoka kwandiri neshoko.” Ipapo akamutuma achibva napaMupata weHebhuroni. Josefa akati asvika kuShekemu,
15 ɔbarima bi huu no sɛ ɔnenam wura no mu. Ɔbarima no bisaa no se, “Worehwehwɛ dɛn?”
mumwe murume akamuwana achidzungaira musango akamubvunza akati, “Uri kutsvakeiko?”
16 Yosef buaa no se, “Merehwehwɛ me nuabarimanom. Mesrɛ wo, wubetumi akyerɛ me baabi a wɔde wɔn nguan no kɔ adidi?”
Akapindura akati, “Ndiri kutsvaka madzikoma angu. Mungandiudzawo kwavanofudzira makwai avo here?”
17 Ɔbarima no buaa no se, “Wo nuabarimanom no afi ha kɔ. Metee sɛ wɔreka se, ‘Momma yɛnkɔ Dotan.’” Enti Yosef tiw ne nuanom no, kɔtoo wɔn wɔ Dotan hɔ.
Murume uya akati, “Vabva pano, ndavanzwa vachiti, ‘Ngatiendei kuDhotani.’” Saka Josefa akatevera madzikoma ake akandovawana pedyo neDhotani.
18 Bere a Yosef puei no, wohuu no wɔ akyirikyiri sɛ ɔreba. Ansa na ɔredu wɔn nkyɛn no, wɔbɔɔ ne ho pɔw sɛ wobekum no.
Asi vakamuona achiri kure, asati asvika kwavari, vakarangana kumuuraya.
19 Wɔkeka kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Monhwɛ! Ɔdaesofo no na ɔreba no!
Vakataurirana vachiti, “Hoyo muroti uya ouya!
20 Mommra mprempren ara mma yenkum no, na yɛntow no nkyene amoa no bi mu, na yɛnkɔka nkyerɛ yɛn agya se, aboa bi akyere no awe, na yɛnhwɛ sɛ biribi befi ne dae ahorow no mu aba ana.”
Uyai zvino timuuraye tigomukanda mune rimwe ramatsime aya tigoti akadyiwa nechikara. Ipapo tichazoona zvinobva pakurota kwake.”
21 Ruben a ɔyɛ wɔn nua panyin tee saa asɛm no, ɔbɔɔ mmɔden sɛ obegye Yosef nkwa. Ɔkae se, “Mommma yenkum no.
Rubheni akati anzwa izvi, akaedza kumununura kubva mumaoko avo. Akati, “Ngatiregei kumuuraya.
22 Munnhwie mogya ngu. Momma yɛntow no nkyene amoa a ɛwɔ sare yi so no bi mu. Na mommma yɛmfa yɛn nsa nka no.” Ruben kaa saa asɛm yi de gyee no fii wɔn nsam, sɛnea obenya kwan de no akɔhyɛ wɔn agya nsa.
Regai kuteura ropa. Mukandei mutsime iri muno mugwenga, asi regai kutambanudza maoko enyu paari.” Rubheni akareva izvozvi kuti amununure kwavari uye kuti agomudzosera kuna baba vake.
23 Yosef beduu ne nuabarimanom no nkyɛn no, wɔworɔw ne batakari fɛfɛ a na ɔhyɛ no,
Saka Josefa akati asvika kumadzikoma ake, vakamubvisa nguo yake, iyo nguo iya yakanga yakaisvonaka, yaiva nemavara-mavara yaakanga akapfeka,
24 na wɔtow no kyenee amoa bi mu. Na nsu biara nni amoa no mu.
uye vakamutora vakamukanda mutsime. Zvino tsime rakanga rapwa risina mvura.
25 Bere a anuanom no tenaa ase sɛ wɔredidi no, wɔtoo wɔn ani huu sɛ yoma bebree sa so reba faako a na wɔrebedidi hɔ no. Wohuu sɛ saa nkurɔfo no yɛ Ismaelfo aguadifo bi a wɔsoso atomude, akyenkyennuru ne kurobow a wɔde fi Gilead rekɔtɔn no wɔ Misraim asase so.
Pavakagara kuti vadye zvokudya zvavo, vakasimudza meso avo vakaona ngoro dzavaIshumaeri dzichibva kuGireadhi. Ngamera dzavo dzakanga dzakatakura zvinonhuhwira, bharimu nemura, uye vakanga vachienda nazvo kuIjipiti.
26 Yuda ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Sɛ yekum yɛn nua yi, kata ne mogya so a, mfaso bɛn na yebenya?
Judha akati kuhama dzake, “Tichawaneiko kana tikauraya mununʼuna wedu tikafushira ropa rake?
27 Momma yenyi no, na yɛntɔn no mma Ismaelfo aguadifo yi, sen sɛ yebekum no. Ɛdan dɛn ara a, ɔyɛ yɛn nua kumaa, yɛn ankasa yɛn mogya.” Ne nuanom no penee so.
Uyai, ngatimutengesei kuvaIshumaeri ava tirege kutambanudza maoko edu paari; pamusoro pezvo iye mununʼuna wedu, nyama yedu neropa redu.” Madzikoma ake akatenderana.
28 Bere a Midian aguadifo no beduu hɔ no, Yosef nuanom no yii no fii amoa no mu, tɔn no maa Ismaelfo no gyee dwetɛ gram ahannu aduonu awotwe ma wɔde no kɔɔ Misraim.
Saka vashambadziri veMidhiani vakati vasvika, madzikoma ake akabudisa Josefa kubva mutsime vakamutengesa kuvaIshumaeri namashekeri makumi maviri esirivha, ivo vakaenda naye kuIjipiti.
29 Ruben san nʼakyi baa amoa no ho, na ohuu sɛ Yosef nni amoa no mu no, osunsuan ne ntade mu.
Rubheni paakadzokera kutsime uye akawana Josefa asisimo akabvarura nguo dzake.
30 Ɔkɔɔ ne nuabarimanom no hɔ, kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Abarimaa no nni hɔ oo! Enti mprempren menyɛ me ho dɛn?”
Akadzokerazve kuvanunʼuna vake akati, “Mukomana haasisimo! Zvino ndichaendepiko?”
31 Na anuanom no faa Yosef batakari no, kum abirekyi, de batakari no nuu ne mogya no mu.
Ipapo vakatora nguo yaJosefa, vakauraya mbudzi ndokunyika nguo iya muropa.
32 Wɔde Yosef batakari fɛfɛ no kɔɔ wɔn agya nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yehuu saa atade yi wɔ wura mu hɔ baabi. Hwɛ sɛ ɛyɛ Yosef atade ana?”
Vakatora nguo iya yakaisvonaka vakaenda nayo kuna baba vavo vakati, “Takanonga ichi. Cherechedzai muone kana ingava nguo yomwanakomana wenyu here.”
33 Wɔn agya hui, na ɔkae se, “Nokware, ɛyɛ me ba Yosef atade! Aboa bɔne bi akyere no awe. Ampa ara, aboa ko no atetew Yosef nam pasaa.”
Akaiziva akati, “Inguo yomwanakomana wangu! Zvimwe zvikara zvesango zvamudya. Zvirokwazvo Josefa akabvamburwa-bvamburwa.”
34 Na Yakob sunsuan ne ntade mu, hyɛɛ atweaatam, suu ne ba no nna bebree.
Ipapo Jakobho akabvarura nguo dzake, akapfeka nguo dzamasaga akachema mwanakomana wake kwamazuva mazhinji.
35 Ne mmabarima ne ne mmabea nyinaa betwaa ne ho hyia kyekyee ne werɛ, nanso ankosi hwee. Yakob kae se, “Dabi, mede awerɛhow bewu akɔto me ba no wɔ asaman.” Enti nʼagya Yakob suu no. (Sheol h7585)
Vanakomana vake navanasikana vake vose vakauya kuzomunyaradza, asi akaramba kunyaradzwa. Akati, “Kwete, ndichaburuka kuguva ndichichema mwanakomana wangu.” Saka baba vake vakamuchema. (Sheol h7585)
36 Nea ɛbae ne sɛ, Midianfo no nso kɔtɔn Yosef maa Potifar wɔ Misraim. Saa Potifar no na ɔyɛ ɔhene Farao dabehene ne nʼawɛmfo so panyin.
Zvichakadaro, vaMidhiani vakatengesa Josefa muIjipiti kuna Potifa mumwe wavabati vaFaro, mukuru wavarindi.
