UGenesise 40
UJosefa ufakwa ejele
1Emva kwalezo zinto umphathizitsha wenkosi yaseGibithe nombhaki bakhubekisa inkosi yabo, inkosi yaseGibithe.
2UFaro wazithukuthelela izinceku zakhe ezimbili, induna yabaphathizitsha nenduna yababhaki.
3Wabafaka esitokisini endlini yenduna yemilindankosi, etilongweni, indawo lapho uJosefa ayeboshwe khona.
4Induna yemilindankosi yamyala uJosefa, wabasebenzela; bahlala esitokisini isikhathi.
5Baphupha iphupho bobabili, yilowo nalowo iphupho lakhe ngabusuku bunye, kwaba yilowo nalowo njengokuchazwa kwephupho lakhe, umphathizitsha nomphekizinkwa wenkosi yaseGibithe, owayeboshiwe etilongweni.
6UJosefa wangena kubo ekuseni, wababheka, bheka, babedabukile.
7Wasebuza izinceku zikaFaro ezazilaye egciniwe yendlu yenkosi yakhe, wathi: Kungani likhangeleka lilusizi kangaka lamuhla?
8Bathi kuye: “Siphuphe iphupho, akakho olichazayo.” UJosefa wathi kubo: “Izincazelo azikaNkulunkulu na? ngicela ungitshele.
9Induna yabaphathizitsha yamlandisa uJosefa iphupho layo, yathi kuye: “Ephusheni lami, nanto isivini phambi kwami;
10Emvinini kwakukhona izicucu ezintathu, okungathi umile, uqhakazile izimbali; amahlukuzo awo athela izithelo zomvini ezivuthiwe;
11indebe kaFaro yayisesandleni sami; ngathatha izithelo zomvini, ngazikhamela endebeni kaFaro, ngayinikela indebe esandleni sikaFaro.
12UJosefa wathi kuye: “Nanku ukuchazwa kwakho: Amagatsha amathathu ayizinsuku ezintathu;
13Kodwa phakathi kwezinsuku ezintathu uFaro uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho, akubuyisele endaweni yakho; uyakubeka indebe kaFaro esandleni sakhe njengakuqala, usengumphathizitsha wakhe.
14Kodwa ngikhumbule, lapho kukuhambela kahle, ungibonise umusa, ungibize kuFaro, ungikhiphe kule ndlu.
15Ngokuba ngempela ngebiwa ezweni lamaHeberu; nalapha angenzanga lutho ukuthi bangangifaka emgodini.
16Kwathi induna yabaphekizinkwa ibona ukuthi ingcazelo yayinhle, yathi kuJosefa: “Nami ephusheni lami, bheka, nganginamaqoma amathathu amhlophe ekhanda lami.”
17Eqomeni eliphezulu kwakukhona zonke izinhlobo zenyama eyosiwe kaFaro; izinyoni zakudla eqomeni elisekhanda lami.
18UJosefa waphendula wathi: “Nanku ukuchazwa kwakho: oqoma abathathu bayizinsuku ezintathu.”
19Kodwa phakathi kwezinsuku ezintathu uFaro uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho alisuse kuwe, akulengise emthini; izinyoni ziyakudla inyama yakho kuwe.
20Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu kwakuwusuku lokuzalwa kukaFaro, wazenzela izinceku zakhe zonke idili;
21Wayibuyisela induna yabaphathizitsha esikhundleni sayo; wayinikela indebe esandleni sikaFaro.
22Kodwa wayiphanyeka induna yababhaki, njengokutsho kukaJosefa kubo.
23Kodwa induna yabaphathizitsha ayizange icabange ngoJosefa, kodwa yamkhohlwa.
