< 1 Mose 40 >
1 Mmerɛ tiawa bi akyiri no, ɛbaa sɛ Misraimhene Farao nsãhyɛfoɔ panin ne ne burodotofoɔ panin fom no.
Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto umphathinkezo wenkosi yeGibhithe lomphekizinkwa bona enkosini yabo, enkosini yeGibhithe.
2 Farao bo fuu ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no ne ne burodotofoɔ panin no yie.
Ngakho uFaro wabathukuthelela abathenwa bakhe ababili, induna yabaphathinkezo lenduna yabaphekizinkwa.
3 Enti, ɔde wɔn too afiase wɔ ɔwɛmfoɔ panin Potifar no fie, baabi korɔ no ara a wɔde Yosef kɔtoeɛ hɔ.
Wazinikela esitokisini, endlini yenduna yabalindi, entolongweni, indawo lapho uJosefa ayebotshelwe khona.
4 Ɔwɛmfoɔ panin Potifar de wɔn hyɛɛ Yosef nsa sɛ, ɔnhwɛ na ɔnyɛ deɛ ɛhia wɔn nyinaa mma wɔn. Wɔdaa afiase hɔ kyɛɛ kakraa no,
Induna yabalindi yasimlaya uJosefa ukuba lazo, wazisebenzela; njalo zaba lensuku esitokisini.
5 nnipa baanu no nyinaa a na wɔyɛ ɔhene Farao burodotofoɔ panin ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin a na wɔgu afiase hɔ no sosoo daeɛ anadwo korɔ no ara. Na saa daeɛ mmienu no mu biara wɔ ne nkyerɛaseɛ.
Zombili zaseziphupha amaphupho, ngamunye iphupho lakhe, ngabusuku bunye, ngamunye njengengcazelo yephupho lakhe, umphathinkezo lomphekizinkwa ababengabenkosi yeGibhithe ababebotshiwe entolongweni.
6 Adeɛ kyeeɛ a Yosef baa nneduafoɔ baanu no nkyɛn no, ɔhunuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa ayeyɛ mosomosoo.
UJosefa wasengena kibo ekuseni, wababona, khangela-ke, benyukumele.
7 Enti, ɔbisaa Farao fie mpanimfoɔ nneduafoɔ a na wɔne no gu afiase hɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛnnɛ deɛ, mo werɛ aho mo ho sɛɛ?”
Wasebabuza abathenwa bakaFaro ababelaye esitokisini endlini yenkosi yakhe, esithi: Kungani ubuso benu budanile lamuhla?
8 Nneduafoɔ no buaa Yosef sɛ, “Anadwo yi, yɛn baanu nyinaa sosoo daeɛ, nanso yɛnnya obiara wɔ ha nkyerɛ yɛn aseɛ.” Yosef nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔkyerɛ daeɛ ase deɛ, nanso monka mo daeɛ a mososoeɛ no nkyerɛ me.”
Basebesithi kuye: Siphuphile iphupho, njalo kakho umchasisi walo. UJosefa wasesithi kubo: Ingcazelo kayisizo zikaNkulunkulu yini? Ake lingilandisele wona.
9 Enti, Farao nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no dii ɛkan kaa ne daeɛ a ɔsoeɛ no kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Me daeɛ mu no, mehunuu bobe dua.
Induna yabaphathinkezo yalandisa iphupho layo kuJosefa, yathi kuye: Ephutsheni lami, khangela-ke, kwakukhona ivini phambi kwami;
10 Na saa bobe dua no apan mman mmiɛnsa. Ɛguu nhyerɛnne, hyehyɛeɛ, nyiniiɛ, yɛɛ siaka bereeɛ.
evinini-ke kwakukhona ingatsha ezintathu; njalo kwakungathi liyahluma, impoko zalo zaphuma, amahlukuzo alo athela izithelo zevini ezivuthiweyo.
11 Na mekura ɔhene Farao nsã kuruwa. Metetee bobe aba no, kyikyi guu ɔhene Farao nsã kuruwa no mu, de maa no sɛ ɔnnom.”
Njalo inkezo kaFaro yayisesandleni sami; ngasengithatha izithelo zevini, ngazikhamela enkezweni kaFaro, nganika inkezo esandleni sikaFaro.
12 Yosef ka kyerɛɛ nsãhyɛfoɔ panin deduani no sɛ, “Wo daeɛ no ase nie: mman mmiɛnsa a wohunuiɛ no kyerɛ nnansa.
UJosefa wasesithi kuyo: Le yingcazelo yalo. Ingatsha ezintathu ziyizinsuku ezintathu;
13 Nnansa ntam no, Farao bɛyi wo, ama woakɔdi wo dibea sɛ ɔhene nsãhyɛfoɔ panin. Na wode Farao kuruwa bɛhyɛ ne nsa sɛdeɛ na woyɛ no kane no.
kusesephakathi kwensuku ezintathu uFaro uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho, akubuyisele esikhundleni sakho; njalo uzanika inkezo kaFaro esandleni sakhe, njengendlela yakuqala lapho wawungumphathinkezo wakhe.
14 Na sɛ ɛsi wo yie a, kae me. Mesrɛ wo, ɛyɛ a, ka me ho asɛm kyerɛ ɔhene Farao, na ɔmma wɔmmɛyi me mfiri afiase ha.
Kodwa ungikhumbule lawe, lapho uhlezi kuhle, ake ungenzele umusa, ungibike kuFaro, ungikhuphe kulindlu.
15 Ɛfiri sɛ, nokorɛ ni, manyɛ bɔne biara na wɔkyeree me firii me manfoɔ Hebrifoɔ asase so de mebaa ha. Na ɛha nso mpo a meda yi, manyɛ afɔdisɛm biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔgyina so de me to afiase.”
Ngoba ngebiwa lokwebiwa elizweni lamaHebheru, lalapha futhi kangenzanga lutho ukuze bangifake emgodini.
16 Ɛberɛ a burodotofoɔ panin deduani no hunuu sɛ Yosef akyerɛ nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no daeɛ no ase, ama atɔ asom no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Me nso, mesoo daeɛ bi. Me daeɛ no mu, na mesoso nkɛntɛn mmiɛnsa a burodo gugu mu.
Lapho induna yabaphekizinkwa ibona ukuthi uchasise kuhle, yathi kuJosefa: Lami bengisephutsheni; khangela-ke, bekukhona izitsha ezintathu zilezinkwa ezimhlophe ekhanda lami;
17 Kɛntɛn a ɛsi ɛsoro pɛɛ no, na nnuane ahodoɔ a wɔato a mede rekɔma Farao gu mu a na nnomaa sisi aduane no so wɔ mʼatifi, redi.”
njalo esitsheni esingaphezulu kwakukhona okokudla konke kukaFaro, umsebenzi obhakiweyo; njalo inyoni zakudla lokho esitsheni esisekhanda lami.
18 Yosef ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo daeɛ a wosoeɛ no asekyerɛ ni. Nkɛntɛn mmiɛnsa no gyina hɔ ma nnansa.
UJosefa wasephendula wathi: Le yingcazelo yalo. Izitsha ezintathu ziyizinsuku ezintathu;
19 Nnansa ntam no, Farao bɛma wɔabɛyi wo afiri afiase ha, atwa wo ti, de wo kuntunsini no akɔsɛn dua so, ama nnomaa asosɔ wo ɛnam.”
kusesephakathi kwensuku ezintathu uFaro uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho lisuke kuwe, akulengise esihlahleni; inyoni zizakudla inyama yakho ziyisuse kuwe.
20 Ne nnansa so no, na Farao redi nʼawoda. Enti, ɔtoo ɛpono kɛseɛ bi maa ne mpanimfoɔ ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa. Ɔsoma ma wɔkɔyii ne burodotofoɔ panin ne ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin nneduafoɔ no firii afiase hɔ baa nʼanim.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu, usuku lokuzalwa kukaFaro, wenzela inceku zakhe zonke idili; waphakamisa ikhanda lenduna yabaphathinkezo lekhanda lenduna yabaphekizinkwa phakathi kwenceku zakhe.
21 Ɔhene Farao sane de ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no sii ne siberɛ, ma ɔhyɛɛ ɔhene Farao nsã.
Wayibuyisela induna yabaphathinkezo ekuphatheni kwayo inkezo; yasinika inkezo esandleni sikaFaro.
22 Nanso, ne burodotofoɔ panin no deɛ, Farao ma wɔkɔsɛn no sɛdeɛ Yosef kyerɛɛ ne daeɛ no ase kyerɛɛ no no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Kodwa wayilengisa induna yabaphekizinkwa, njengoba uJosefa ezichasisele.
23 Nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no nso werɛ firii Yosef a wankae no koraa.
Kodwa induna yabaphathinkezo kayimkhumbulanga uJosefa, kodwa yamkhohlwa.
