uJosefa nomkaPotifari
1UJosefa wehliselwa eGibithe; uPotifari, inceku kaFaro, induna yabalindi, umGibithe, wamthenga esandleni sabakwa-Ishmayeli ababemehlisele khona.
2UJehova wayenaye uJosefa, waba yindoda enenhlanhla; wayesendlini yenkosi yakhe umGibhithe.
3Inkosi yakhe yabona ukuthi uJehova unaye, nokuthi uJehova wakuphumelelisa konke akwenzayo esandleni sakhe.
4UJosefa wafumana umusa emehlweni ayo, wayikhonza; yammisa phezu kwendlu yayo, nakho konke eyayinakho yakunikela esandleni sakhe.
5Kusukela esikhathini eyambeka ngaso ukuba abe yinduna phezu kwendlu yayo naphezu kwakho konke okwayo, uJehova wayibusisa indlu yowaseGibithe ngenxa kaJosefa; isibusiso sikaJehova sasiphezu kwakho konke okwayo endlini nasensimini.
6Wakushiya konke okwakho esandleni sikaJosefa; futhi wayengazi ukuthi ayoba nasiphi ngaphandle kwesinkwa ayesidlile. Futhi uJosefa wayeyindoda ebukekayo futhi ethandekayo.
7Emva kwalokho umkankosi yakhe wabheka uJosefa; wathi: Lala lami.
8Kepha wala, wathi kumkankosi yakhe: “Bheka, inkosi yami ayikwazi okukimi endlini, futhi inginike konke enakho;
9akakho omkhulu kunami kule ndlu; futhi akangigodlelanga lutho, ngaphandle kwakho, ngokuba ungumkayo; pho, ngingenza kanjani lobu bubi obukhulu, ngone kuNkulunkulu na?
10Esakhuluma kuJosefa izinsuku ngezinsuku, akamlalelanga ukuba alale naye nokuba abe naye.
11Ngaleso sikhathi uJosefa wangena endlini ukwenza umsebenzi wakhe; kwakungekho phakathi kwamadoda endlu.
12Wambamba ngengubo yakhe, wathi: “Lala nami;” washiya ingubo yakhe esandleni sakhe, wabaleka, wamkhiphela phandle.
13Kwathi lapho ebona ukuthi ushiye ingubo yakhe esandleni sakhe, wabaleka;
14wabiza abantu bendlu yakhe, wakhuluma kubo, wathi: “Bhekani, usilethele umHeberu ukuba adlale ngathi; wangena kimi ukuba alale nami, futhi ngamemeza ngezwi elikhulu.
15Esezwile ukuthi ngiphakamise izwi lami ngikhala, washiya ingubo yakhe kimi, wabaleka, wayikhiphela phandle.
16Wabeka ingubo yakhe kuye, yaze yafika inkosi yakhe ekhaya.
17Wasekhuluma kuye njengalamazwi wathi: Inceku engumHebheru osilethele yona ingene ukuzodlala ngami.
18Kwathi ngisaphakamisa izwi lami ngikhala, washiya ingubo yakhe kimi, wabaleka.
19Kwathi inkosi yakhe isizwile amazwi omkayo eyawakhuluma kuyo, yathi: “Yenze njalo kimi incekukazi yakho; ukuthi ulaka lwakhe lwavutha.
20Inkosi kaJosefa yamthatha yamfaka etilongweni, indawo lapho iziboshwa zenkosi zaziboshwe khona; wayelapho etilongweni.
21Kepha uJehova wayenaye uJosefa, wamhawukela, wamnika umusa emehlweni omlindi wetilongo.
22Umlindi wetilongo wanikela esandleni sikaJosefa zonke iziboshwa ezazisetilongweni; futhi noma yini ababeyenza lapho, wayeyenza.
23Umlindi wetilongo akabhekanga lutho olusesandleni sakhe; ngokuba uJehova wayenaye, nalokho akwenzayo, uJehova wakuphumelelisa.
