Ipapo Farao akapepuka—dzakanga dziri hope. ⁸Mangwanani mweya wake wakatambudzika; akatuma shoko akadana nʼanga dzose dzomuIjipiti navarume vose vakachenjera. Farao akavaudza hope dzake, asi hapana akagona kudzidudzira kwaari.

⁹Ipapo mukuru wavadiri akati kuna Farao, “Nhasi ndayeuchidzwa zvivi zvangu. ¹⁰Farao akanga akatsamwira varanda vake akandiisa mutirongo mumba momukuru wavarindi, pamwe chete nomukuru wavabiki. ¹¹Ini naiye takarota mumwe nomumwe usiku humwe chetehwo, hope imwe neimwe ine zvadzinoreva zvayo. ¹²Jaya rechiHebheru, muranda womukuru wavarindi, raiva nesu. Takamuudza hope dzedu, iye akadudzira imwe neimwe maererano nezvadzinoreva zvayo. ¹³Sezvaakatidudzira, ndizvo zvakaitika: ini ndakadzoserwa pachinzvimbo changu, mumwe wacho akasungirirwa.”

¹⁴Farao akatuma shoko kuti Josefa auyiswe, vakakurumidza kumubvisa mugomba romutirongo. Akagera, akachinja nguo dzake, akauya pamberi paFarao. ¹⁵Farao akati kuna Josefa, “Ndarota hope dzisina angagona kududzira. Ndanzwa nezvako kuti kana uchinzwa hope, unogona kudzidudzira.”

¹⁶“Handikwanisi kuita izvozvo ndoga,” Josefa akapindura. “Baba vedu ndivo vachapa Farao mhinduro yakanaka.”

¹⁷Ipapo Farao akati kuna Josefa, “Muhope dzangu ndakanga ndakamira pamahombekombe aNairi. ¹⁸Mombe nomwe dzakakora, dzakanaka dzakabuda muNairi dzikafura pakati petsanga. ¹⁹Ipapo dzimwe mombe nomwe dzakabuda shure kwadzo—dzakaonda, dzakashatisisa, dzisina nyama—dzandakanga ndisati ndamboona dzakadaro munyika yose yeIjipiti. ²⁰Mombe dzakaonda, dzakashata dzakadya mombe nomwe dzokutanga dzakakora. ²¹Kunyange dzadzidya, hapana aigona kuzviona, nokuti dzakanga dzichakaipa sapakutanga. Ipapo ndakapepuka. ²²Muhope dzangu ndakaona hura nomwe dzezviyo dzichimera pajinga rimwe chete, dzakazara uye dzakanaka. ²³Uye shure kwadzo kwakamera hura nomwe dzezviyo—dzakasvava, dzakaonda, uye dzakapiswa nemhepo yokumabvazuva. ²⁴Hura dzakaonda dzakamedza hura nomwe dzakanaka. Ndakaudza nʼanga, asi hapana akagona kundidudzira izvozvo.”

²⁵Josefa akati kuna Farao, “Hope dzaFarao ndedzimwe chete: Baba vedu vazivisa Farao zvavava kuda kuita. ²⁶Mombe nomwe dzakanaka makore manomwe, uye hura nomwe dzakanaka dzezviyo makore manomwe—idzo ihope imwe chete. ²⁷Mombe nomwe dzakaonda, dzakashata dzakabuda shure kwadzo makore manomwe, uye hura nomwe dzisina chinhu dzakapiswa nemhepo yokumabvazuva makore manomwe enzara. ²⁸Ndizvo zvandaudza Farao: Baba vedu varatidza Farao zvavava kuda kuita. ²⁹Makore manomwe okuwanda kukuru ari kuuya munyika yose yeIjipiti. ³⁰Ipapo makore manomwe enzara achatevera. Kuwanda kwose kwaiva muIjipiti kuchakanganwika, uye nzara ichapedza nyika. ³¹Kuwanda kuchakanganwika munyika, nokuti nzara ichazotevera ichava huru kwazvo. ³²Hope dzaFarao kudzokororwa kaviri zvinoreva kuti Baba vedu vasimbisa nyaya iyi, uye Baba vedu vachakurumidza kuiita.

³³Saka Farao ngaatsvage murume anonzwisisa, akachenjera amuise pamusoro penyika yeIjipiti. ³⁴Farao ngaaite chiito agadze vatariri pamusoro penyika, uye atore cheshanu chezvibereko zveIjipiti mumakore manomwe okuwanda. ³⁵Ngavaunganidze zvokudya zvose zvamakore akanaka ari kuuya, vachengete zviyo pasi poruoko rwaFarao sezvokudya mumaguta, uye vazvirinde. ³⁶Zvokudya izvozvo zvichava chengetedzo yenyika mumakore manomwe enzara achauya panyika yeIjipiti, kuti nyika irege kuparadzwa nenzara.”

Urongwa Hwakangwara Hwemakore Ari Mberi

³⁷Urongwa uhu hwakaonekwa hwakanaka kuna Farao nokuvaranda vake vose. ³⁸Farao akati kuvaranda vake, “Tingawana here mumwe akadai, murume ane Mweya waMwari maari?” ³⁹Farao akati kuna Josefa, “Sezvo Mwari akuratidza zvose izvi, hapana anonzwisisa uye akachenjera sewe. ⁴⁰Iwe uchava pamusoro peimba yangu; vanhu vangu vose vachateerera murayiro wako. Pachigaro choushe chete ndipo pandichava mukuru kwauri.” ⁴¹Farao akati kuna Josefa, “Tarira, ndakuisa pamusoro penyika yose yeIjipiti.”

⁴²Farao akabvisa mhete yechisimbiso paruoko rwake akaiisa paruoko rwaJosefa, akamupfekedza nguo dzomucheka wakaisvonaka, akamuisa ketani yegoridhe pamutsipa wake. ⁴³Farao akaita kuti Josefa afambe mungoro yake yechipiri, akaita kuti varume vadanidzire pamberi paJosefa vachiti, “Pfugamai!” akamuisa pamusoro penyika yose yeIjipiti. ⁴⁴Farao akati kuna Josefa, “Ndini Farao; kunze kwako, hapana munhu angasimudza ruoko kana gumbo munyika yose yeIjipiti.” ⁴⁵Farao akatumidza Josefa zita rokuti Zafenati-panea akamupa Asenati, mwanasikana waPotifera, mupristi weOni, kuti ave mukadzi wake. Ipapo Josefa akabuda kundotonga nyika yeIjipiti. ^a a v45 Oni rakanga riri guta guru remuIjipiti uye nzvimbo yokunamata zuva — raizivikanwa navaGiriki seHeriyoporisi, pedyo neKairo remazuva ano.

⁴⁶Josefa akanga ava namakore makumi matatu paakamira pamberi paFarao mambo weIjipiti. Akabva pamberi paFarao akafamba munyika yose yeIjipiti. ⁴⁷Mumakore manomwe okuwanda, nyika yakabereka zvakawanda kwazvo. ⁴⁸Akaunganidza zvokudya zvose zvamakore manomwe muIjipiti akazvichengeta mumaguta, muguta rimwe nerimwe zvokudya zveminda yakaripoteredza. ⁴⁹Josefa akachengeta zviyo zvakaita sejecha regungwa—zvakawanda zvokuti akarega kuzviverenga; zvakanga zvisingaverengeki. ⁵⁰Makore enzara asati asvika, Josefa akabereka vanakomana vaviri naAsenati, mwanasikana waPotifera, mupristi weOni. ⁵¹Josefa akatumidza dangwe zita rokuti Manase: “Nokuti Baba vedu vakaita kuti ndikanganwe kutambudzika kwangu kwose neimba yababa vangu yose.” ^b b v51 Zita rokuti Manase rinoreva kuti “kukanganwisa.” ⁵²Akatumidza wechipiri zita rokuti Efuremu: “Nokuti Baba vedu vakandiita kuti ndibereke munyika yokutambudzika kwangu.” ^c c v52 Zita rokuti Efuremu rinoreva kuti “anobereka.”

⁵³Makore manomwe okuwanda akanga ari munyika yeIjipiti akaguma. ⁵⁴Makore manomwe enzara akatanga, sezvakanga zvarehwa naJosefa. Nzara yakarova nyika dzose, asi munyika yose yeIjipiti maiva nechingwa. ⁵⁵Nzara payakarova Ijipiti yose, vanhu vakachema kuna Farao vachikumbira chingwa. Farao akaudza vaIjipiti vose achiti, “Endai kuna Josefa; itai zvose zvaanokuudzai.” ⁵⁶Nzara payakapararira munyika yose, Josefa akazarura matura ose akatengesera vaIjipiti zviyo, nokuti nzara yakanga iri huru muIjipiti. ⁵⁷Nyika dzose dzakauya kuIjipiti kuzotenga zviyo kuna Josefa, nokuti nzara yakanga yakabata nyika dzose.
