1Kwathi emveni koko, umngcamli wokumkani waseYiputa, nompheki wakhe, bamona ukumkani wabo, ukumkani waseYiputa. 2uFaro waba noburhalarhume kubakhonzi bakhe bobabini, umphathi wabangcamli nomphathi wabapheki. 3Wabafaka elugcinweni endlwini yomphathi wamafanankosi, endlwini yentolongo, indawo leyo awayevalelwe kuyo uYosefu. 4Umthetheli wabasiki wathi uYosefu makahambe nabo, abalungiselele; bahlala ke entolongweni ixesha elithile. 5Bobabini baphupha iphupha, ngamnye iphupha lakhe ngabusuku bunye, ngamnye ngokokutyhilwa kwephupha lakhe, umngcamli nompheki wokumkani waseYiputa, owayesentolongweni. 6uYosefu wangena kubo kwakusa, wabakhangela, wafika bematshekile. 7Wababuza abakhonzi bakaFaro, ababenaye endlwini yenkosi yakhe, wathi, Yini na ukuba nibe bubi namhlanje? 8Bathi kuye, Siphuphe iphupha, akukho bani unako ukulityhila; Wathi uYosefu kubo, Iziguqulelo asizikaThixo na, akunjalo? nceda undixelele. 9Umngcamli wabangcamli wamxelela uYosefu iphupha lakhe, wathi kuye, Ephupheni lam ndibone umdiliya ecaleni kwam; 10emdiliyeni wadubula iintyatyambo ezintathu, wangathi udubule, wadubula iintyantyambo zawo; iidiliya zawo zivelisa iidiliya ezivuthiweyo; 11indebe kaFaro isesandleni sam, ndathabatha iidiliya, ndayikhandela endebeni kaFaro, ndayinikela indebe esandleni sikaFaro; 12Wathi uYosefu kuye, Nanku ukushwankathelwa kwalo: amasebe amathathu yimihla emithathu; 13Emveni kweentsuku ezintathu, uya kuyiphakamisa intloko yakho uFaro, akubuyisele endaweni yakho; uyibeke indebe kaFaro esandleni sakhe, njengokuba ubungumngcamli wakhe; 14Uze undikhumbule xa uthe wahlala phantsi, undenzele inceba, undibizele kuFaro, undikhuphe kule ndlu; 15ngokuba okunene ndabiwa ezweni lamaHebhere; nalapha andenzanga nto bangandifaka emhadini. 16Wabona umphathi wabapheki ukuba isityhilo eso silungile, wathi kuYosefu, Nam ke ephupheni lam, ndithwele iingobozi ezintathu ezimhlophe entloko; 17Engobozini ephezulu kukho iintlobo zonke zokutya okuphekiweyo kukaFaro; zasidla iintaka engobozini ephezu kwentloko yam. 18uJosefu waphendula wathi: “Nantsi ke ingcaciso: “Imibhobho emithathu yomchamo yimihla emithathu. 19Emveni kweentsuku ezintathu, uya kuyiphakamisa intloko yakho uFaro, akuxhome emthini; iintaka ziyidle inyama yakho kuwe. 20Kwathi ngomhla wasithathu, umhla wokuzalwa kukaFaro, wabalungiselela isidlo bonke abakhonzi bakhe; 21Wambuyisela umphathi wabashicileli eofisini yakhe; wayinikela indebe esandleni sikaFaro. 22Wamxhoma umphathi wompheki, njengoko uYosefu wabacaciselayo. 23Kodwa umphathi wabangcamli akazange amkhumbule uYosefu, kodwa wamlibala nje.
