Nzara Inonyanya Kukura

¹³Hapana zvokudya zvakasara munyika yose, nokuti nzara yakanga yakanyanya kwazvo, nyika yeIjipiti neyeKenani ikaparara nenzara. ¹⁴Josefa akaunganidza sirivha yose yakawanikwa munyika yeIjipiti neyeKenani yavaitenga nayo zviyo, Josefa akauya nesirivha iyi mumba maFarao. ¹⁵Sirivha yakati yapera munyika yeIjipiti neyeKenani, vaIjipiti vose vakauya kuna Josefa, vachiti, “Tipei zvokudya! Tingafirei pamberi penyu? Sezvo sirivha yapera.”

¹⁶Josefa akapindura akati, “Uyai nezvipfuwo zvenyu; ndichakupai zvokudya pachinzvimbo chezvipfuwo zvenyu, sezvo sirivha yenyu yapera.” ¹⁷Vakauya nezvipfuwo zvavo kuna Josefa, akavapa chingwa pane mabhiza, namakwai, nemombe, nembongoro. Akavariritira nechingwa gore iroro pamusoro pezvipfuwo zvavo zvose. ¹⁸Gore iroro rakapera, vakauya kwaari gore rechipiri vakati, “Hatigoni kuvanzira ishe wedu kuti sirivha yedu yapera uye zvipfuwo ndezvashe wedu; hapana chasara kuna ishe wedu kunze kwemiviri yedu nenyika yedu. ¹⁹Tingafirei pamberi penyu—isu nenyika yedu? Titengei isu nenyika yedu nezvokudya; isu nenyika yedu tichashandira Farao. Tipei mbeu kuti tirarame, tisafa, uye nyika irege kuva dongo.”

²⁰Saka Josefa akatengera Farao nyika yose yeIjipiti, nokuti muIjipiti mumwe nomumwe akatengesa munda wake—nzara yakanga yavanyanyira. Nyika ikava yaFarao. ²¹Akatamisa vanhu akavaisa mumaguta, kubva kuno rumwe rutivi rweIjipiti kusvika kuno rumwe. ²²Asi haana kutenga nyika yavaprista, nokuti Farao akavapa mugove wakatarwa wavairarama nawo; saka havana kutengesa nyika yavo. ²³Josefa akaudza vanhu, achiti, “Tarirai, ndakutengerai Farao imi nenyika yenyu nhasi. Hezvi mbeu—dyarai munyika. ²⁴Pakukohwa, ipai Farao cheshanu; chengetai migove mina sembeu yomunda nezvokudya zvenyu, zveveimba dzenyu, nezvevana venyu.”

²⁵Vakati, “Maponesa upenyu hwedu. Dai tawana nyasha pamberi pashe wedu, uye tichava varanda vaFarao.” ²⁶Saka Josefa akaita mutemo muIjipiti—uchiripo kusvikira nhasi—wokuti cheshanu chinoenda kuna Farao. Asi nyika yavaprista chete haina kuva yaFarao.

²⁷VaIsraeri vakagara munyika yeIjipiti, munyika yeGosheni. Vakawana pfuma imomo, vakabereka vakawanda kwazvo. ²⁸Jakobho akagara muIjipiti makore gumi namanomwe; upenyu hwake hwakasvika makore zana namakumi mana namanomwe. ²⁹Nguva yokuti Israeri afe yakati yaswedera, akadana mwanakomana wake Josefa akati, “Kana ndawana nyasha kwauri, tapota isa ruoko rwako pasi pechidya changu undiitire rudo rwakatendeka nokuvimbika. Tapota usandiviga muIjipiti, ^a a v29 Kuisa ruoko pasi pechidya chomumwe munhu chaiva chiito chekare chokupika kunoremekedzwa, chaisunga chivimbiso pazvizvarwa zvomunhu. ³⁰asi ndivate namadzibaba angu. Nditakure ubude neni muIjipiti undivige muguva ravo.” Josefa akati, “Ndichaita sezvamareva.”

³¹Jakobho akati, “Ndipikire.” Josefa akamupikira. Ipapo Israeri akakotama ari kumusoro kwomubhedha wake.
