39 ¹Josefa akaburutsirwa kuIjipiti; Potifari, mukuru waFarao muIjipiti uye mukuru wavarindi, akamutenga kuvaIshumaeri vakanga vamuburutsira ikoko. ²Baba vedu vakanga vaina Josefa; akabudirira, achishanda mumba matenzi wake muIjipiti. ³Tenzi wake akaona kuti Baba vedu vakanga vaina iye, Baba vedu vachiita kuti zvose zvaaiita zvibudirire muruoko rwake. ⁴Josefa akawana nyasha pamberi pake akamushandira; tenzi wake akagadza Josefa pamusoro peimba yake, achimupa zvose zvaaiva nazvo. ⁵Kubva panguva yaakagadza Josefa pamusoro peimba yake nezvose zvaaiva nazvo, Baba vedu vakaropafadza imba yomuIjipiti nokuda kwaJosefa; chikomborero chaBaba vedu chakanga chiri pazvose zvaaiva nazvo, mumba nomumunda. ⁶Potifari akasiya zvose zvaaiva nazvo mumaoko aJosefa, asingazivi chinhu kunze kwezvokudya zvaaidya. Josefa akanga akanaka pamuviri uye akanaka pachiso.

⁷Shure kwezvinhu izvi, mukadzi watenzi wake akatarisa Josefa nameso ake akati, “Vata neni.”

⁸Akaramba, achiti kumukadzi watenzi wake, “Tarirai, zvandiri pano, tenzi wangu haana chaanotarisira mumba; zvose zvaanazvo akazviisa mumaoko angu. ⁹Haana mukuru mumba muno kundipfuura; hapana chaakandinyima kunze kwenyu, nokuti muri mukadzi wake. Ndingaita sei chakaipa chikuru chakadai ndichitadzira Baba vedu?” ^a a v9 Josefa anodana chivi nezita racho chaizvo — kwete kutyora mutemo asi kukuvadza mwoyo waBaba vakamuda kusvikira panguva ino chaiyo.

¹⁰Zuva nezuva aitaura naJosefa, asi iye akaramba kumuteerera, kuvata parutivi pake, kana kuva naye. ¹¹Rimwe zuva Josefa akapinda mumba kuti aite basa rake, pakanga pasina murume weimba mukati. ¹²Akamubata nenguo yake, achiti, “Vata neni!” Iye akaisiya muruoko rwake akatizira panze.

¹³Paakaona kuti asiya nguo yake muruoko rwake akatizira panze, ¹⁴akadana varume veimba yake akati, “Tarirai, atiunzira murume muHebheru kuti atiseke. Apinda kwandiri kuti avate neni, ini ndikaridza mhere. ¹⁵Paanzwa ndichiridza mhere, akasiya nguo yake parutivi pangu akatizira panze. ¹⁶Akachengeta nguo yake parutivi pake kusvikira tenzi wake asvika kumba.” ¹⁷Akamuudza nyaya imwe cheteyo achiti: “Muranda muHebheru wamakatiunzira akauya kwandiri kuti andiseke. ¹⁸Asi pandakaridza mhere, akasiya nguo yake parutivi pangu akatizira panze.”

¹⁹Tenzi wake paakanzwa mashoko omukadzi wake kwaari—“Muranda wenyu akandiitira zvinhu izvi”—akatsamwa kwazvo.

²⁰Tenzi waJosefa akamutora akamuisa mutorongo mairi vasungwa vamambo. Akagara imomo mutorongo. ²¹Asi Baba vedu vakanga vaina Josefa, vakamuratidza rudo rwesungano uye vakaita kuti awane nyasha pamberi pomutariri wetorongo. ²²Mutariri wetorongo akagadza Josefa pamusoro pavasungwa vose; zvose zvaiitwa imomo, ndiye aizviita. ²³Mutariri haana chaaitarisa pane zvaichengetwa naJosefa, nokuti Baba vedu vakanga vaina iye—zvose zvaaiita, Baba vedu vaiita kuti zvibudirire.
