¹Josefa akanga aburutsirwa Egipita; Potifari, gota raFarao, mu­kuru wavarindi, muEgipita, akamutenga pamaoko avaIshimaeri, vakanga vamu­burutsira Egipita.

¹Yuusufna waxaa la keenay Masar. Kuwii reer Ismaaciil oo isaga halkaas geeyeyna waxaa gacantoodii ka iibsaday nin Masri ahaa oo la odhan jiray Footiifar, oo Fircoon sirkaal u ahaa, oo madaxii waardiyayaasha ahaa.

²Jehovha zvino akanga ana Josefa, akaramba achikwirira; aka­gara mumba matenzi wake muEgipita.

²Rabbiguna waa la jiray Yuusuf, wuxuuna ahaa nin liibaansan, wuxuuna joogi jiray gurigii sayidkiisii Masriga ahaa.

³Tenzi wake akaona kuti Jehovha anaye, uye kuti Jehovha akafambisa zvakanaka zvose zvaaiita namaoko ake.

³Sayidkiisiina wuu arkay in Rabbigu liibaaniyey wixii uu sameeyey oo dhan.

⁴Josefa akawana nyasha kwaari, akamubatira; iye akamuita mutariri weimba yake; zvose zvaakanga anazvo akazviisa pa­maoko ake.

⁴Isaguna raalli buu Yuusuf ka ahaa, Yuusufna waa u adeegi jiray, oo wuxuu isagii ka dhigay kan gurigiisa u sarreeya, wixii uu haystay oo dhanna gacantiisuu wada geliyey.

⁵Zvino kubva pakuitwa kwake mutariri weimba yake nowazvose zvaakanga anazvo, Jehovha akaropafa­dza imba yomuEgipita nokuda kwaJosefa; kuropafadza kwaJehovha kwakanga kuri pamusoro pezvose zvaakanga anazvo mumba nokumunda.

⁵Oo waxay noqotay in wakhtigii uu ka dhigay kan u sarreeya gurigiisa iyo wixii uu haystay oo dhan, uu Rabbigu gurigii kii Masriga ahaa u barakeeyey Yuusuf aawadiis, wixii uu guriga iyo beertaba ku haystay oo dhanna barakada Rabbigaa saarnayd.

⁶Waisiya zvose zvaakanga anazvo pamaoko aJosefa; iye anaye, haazairangarira chinhu, asi zvo­kudya zvake zvoga zvaaidya.

⁶Wixii uu lahaa oo dhanna Yuusuf gacantiisuu kaga tegey. Waxbana kama ogayn wixii uu hayay, wixii uu cuni jiray mooyaane. Yuusufna aad buu u quruxsanaa, wuuna suurad wanaagsanaa.

⁷Zvino shure kwaizvozvo mukadzi watenzi wake aka­tarira Josefa, akati, Vata neni.

⁷Oo waxay noqotay waxyaalahaas ka dib in naagtii sayidkiisu ay fiirisay Yuusuf, oo ay ku tidhi, Kaalay ila jiifso.

⁸Asi iye akaramba, akati kumukadzi watenzi wake, Tarirai, nokuda kwangu tenzi wangu haarangariri zviri kwandiri mumba, asi akaisa zvose zvaanazvo pamaoko angu;

⁸Laakiinse wuu diiday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi naagtii sayidkiisa, Bal eeg, sayidkaygu waxba kama oga waxa aan guriga ku hayo; wixiisii oo dhanna gacantayduu wada geliyey;

⁹hakuna mukuru kwandiri paimba ino; haana kundidzivisa chinhu, asi imwi moga; nekuti muri mukadzi wake; zvino ndi­ngaita seiko chinhu ichi chakaipa zvikuru nditadzire Mwari?

⁹oo weliba gurigan mid aniga iga weynu ma joogo, oo isaguna waxba igalama hadhin adiga mooyaane, maxaa yeelay, adigu waxaad tahay naagtiisii, de haddaba sidee baan u samayn karaa xumaantan weyn, oo aan Ilaah ugu dembaabaa?

¹⁰Zvino akati ataura naJosefa mazuva ose, iye asingamuteereri kuti avate naye, kana kuva naye,

¹⁰Oo waxay noqotay, in kastoo ay maalinba maalinta ka dambaysa la hadlaysay Yuusuf, inuu maqli waayay inuu la jiifsado ama uu la joogo iyadii.

¹¹ne­nguva iyoyo akapinda mumba kuti abate basa rake; makanga musina vamwe va­rume veimba imomo.

¹¹Oo waxay noqotay haddaa oo kale, inuu gurigii galay inuu shuqulkiisii qabsado, nimankii gurigana midna gudaha ma joogin.

¹²Ipapo akamubata nguvo yake, akati, Vata neni; iye aka­siya nguvo yake muruoko rwake, akabuda panze.

¹²Kolkaasay qabsatay dharkiisii, oo waxay ku tidhi, Ila jiifso. Isaguse dharkiisii gacanteeduu kaga tegey, wuuna cararay oo baxay.

¹³Zvino akati achiona kuti asiya nguvo yake muruoko rwake, atiza, aenda,

¹³Markay aragtay inuu dharkiisii gacanteeda kaga tegey, oo uu dibadda u cararay,

¹⁴akadana varume veimba yake, akataura navo akati, Tarirai, iye akauyisa muHe­bheru pakati pedu kuti atidadire; akapi­nda kwandiri, kuti avate neni, ndikaridza mhere neinzwi guru.

¹⁴ayay u yeedhay raggii gurigeeda oo ay la hadashay, oo waxay ku tidhi, Bal eega, ninkaygu wuxuu inoo keenay nin Cibraani ah inuu inagu majaajiloodo. Wuxuu iigu soo galay inuu ila jiifsado aawadeed, markaasaan cod dheer ku qayliyey,

¹⁵Zvino akati achi­nzwa kuti ndinodanidzirisa ndichiridza mhere, akasiya nguvo yake neni, akatiza, akabuda panze.

¹⁵oo markuu maqlay inaan codkaygii sare u qaaday oo aan qayliyey ayuu dharkiisii iiga tegey, wuuna cararay oo baxay.

¹⁶Akachengeta nguvo yake kusvikira tenzi wake achipinda mumba.

¹⁶Dharkiisiina way is-ag dhigtay ilaa uu sayidkiisii guriga yimid.

¹⁷Akataura kwaari mashoko iwayo akati, Muranda muHebheru wawakaisa pakati pedu, akauya kwandiri kuti andidadire.

¹⁷Kolkaasay hadalkan kula hadashay isagii, oo waxay ku tidhi, Addoonkii Cibraaniga ahaa, oo aad inoo keentay, ayaa iigu soo galay inuu igu majaajiloodo,

¹⁸Ndi­kadanidzirisa, ndikaridza mhere, akasiya nguvo yake neni, akatizira panze.

¹⁸oo markaan codkaygii sare u qaaday oo aan qayliyey ayuu dharkiisii iiga tegey, oo uu dibadda u cararay.

¹⁹Tenzi wake akati achinzwa ma­shoko aakaudzwa nomukadzi wake, achiti, Ndizvo zvandaitirwa nomuranda wako, hasha dzake dzikamuka.

¹⁹Markii sayidkiisii maqlay hadalkii naagtiisa, oo ay kula hadashay isaga, iyadoo leh, Addoonkaagii sidan buu igu sameeyey, ayuu cadhooday.

²⁰Tenzi waJosefa akamutora, akamupinza muto­rongo, paisungwa vasungwa vamambo; akava mutirongo.

²⁰Markaasaa Yuusuf sayidkiisii qabtay isagii, oo wuxuu geliyey xabsigii ahaa meeshii maxaabiista boqorku ku xidhnaayeen; oo isna halkaasuu ku jiray xabsigii gudihiisa.

²¹Asi Jehovha akava naJosefa, akamuitira tsitsi, kuti anzwirwe tsitsi nomutariri wetirongo.

²¹Laakiinse Yuusuf waxaa la jiray Rabbiga, wuuna u roonaaday, kii xabsiga hayayna raalli buu uga dhigay.

²²Mutariri wetirongo akapa mumaoko aJosefa vasu­ngwa vose vakanga vari mutirongo; iye aiva muiti wezvose zvaiitwamo.

²²Kii xabsiga hayayna wuxuu Yuusuf gacanta u geliyey maxaabiistii xabsiga ku jirtay oo dhan; oo wax kastoo ay halkaas ku sameeyeenna, wuxuu ahaa kii sameeyey.Kii xabsiga hayayna ma uu eegi jirin waxa isaga gacantiisa ku jira, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa la jiray isaga, wixii uu sameeyeyna Rabbigu waa liibaaniyey.

²³Mutariri wetirongo akanga asina hanya nechinhu chakanga chiri pamaoko ake, nekuti Jehovha akanga anaye; zvose zvaaiita, Jehovha akazviruramisa.

²³Kii xabsiga hayayna ma uu eegi jirin waxa isaga gacantiisa ku jira, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa la jiray isaga, wixii uu sameeyeyna Rabbigu waa liibaaniyey.
