2 Alioze, Yehova kapwile hamuwika ni Yosefwe, kashika yuma yeswe yize te akulinga yapwile ni kwenda kanawa. Iye kapwile nawa ni yiteli yimwe mu zuwo lia mwata wenyi Ka-Engitu.
3 Mba mwata wenyi yamona ngwenyi, Yehova kapwile hamwe ni Yosefwe, Yehova te kakuwahisa yeswe yize iye apwile ni kulinga.

5 Chize ha shimbu lize Ka-Engitu atongwele Yosefwe hanga ayule zuwo lienyi ni yikumba yenyi yeswe, Yehova yawahisa zuwo lia Ka-Engitu mumu lia Yosefwe. Chiwape cha Yehova chapwile ha yuma yeswe yize iye apwile nayo mu zuwo, ni mu munda.
6 Potifwa yakunjika yuma yeswe yize apwile nayo kuli Yosefwe, te keshi kulihulumba ha chuma nichimwe, shina wika ha yize malia. Chikwo nawa, Yosefwe watatukile ku mujimba, wapwile nawa mupema ku meso.
7 Ha kupalika cha mashimbu, pwo lia Potifwa yaputuka kuvwila Yosefwe usolo, yamba kuli iye ngwenyi: “Pomba ni yami.”

10 Chocho, tangwa ha tangwa, pwo lia Potifwa kapwile ni kulweza Yosefwe hanga alimone nenyi, alioze, Yosefwe te keshi kutayiza kupomba nenyi, chipwe kutwama nenyi hamuwika.
11 Mba tangwa limwe, muze Yosefwe anjilile mu zuwo hanga alinge mulimo wenyi, niumwe kavumbi te keshimo.
12 Chocho, iye yakwata Yosefwe ku chikuto, yamba ngwenyi: “Tweya upombe ni yami!” Alioze, Yosefwe yahichika chikuto mu moko jenyi, yachinyina haze.
13 Muze pwo amwene ngwenyi Yosefwe kahichika chikuto mu moko jenyi ni kuchinyina haze,
14 yaputuka kuteta ni kusanyika malunga a ku zuwo lienyi. Yamba kuli ayo ngwenyi: “Talenu! Ka-Hepreu au lunga liami anakatunehena, kanazange kutusaula. Keza ni kungufupa hanga apombe ni yami, alioze yinguputuka kuteta chikolo.
15 Kashika, muze angwivwa ngunatete, yahichika chikuto chenyi mu moko jami, yachinyina haze.”
16 Mba, mwe pwo yafunga chikuto chacho, ndo muze mwata wa Yosefwe ahetele ku zuwo.
17 Chocho, pwo yamba maliji waze ene kuli lunga lienyi ngwenyi: “Mukwa-mulimo yono Ka-Hepreu watunehenene keza ni kungufupa hanga angusaule.
18 Alioze, muze naputuka kuteta, yahichika chikuto mu moko jami, yachinyina haze.”
19 Muze mwene wenyi evwile maliji a mukwo-pwo ngwenyi: “Yenayi kavumbi ke angulinga,” yevwa uli unji.
20 Kashika, mwe mwata yakwata Yosefwe yamusa mu zuwo lia ususu, mu chihela chize apwile ni kusa funge ja mwanangana. Chocho, Yosefwe yanunga mu zuwo lia ususu.
21 Alioze, Yehova yanunga ni kupwa hamwe ni Yosefwe ni kumusolwela utu wa zango, yamukwasa kupwa ni utayizo wa mwata wa zuwo lia ususu.
22 Chocho, mwata wa zuwo lia ususu yakunjika kuli Yosefwe funge eswe waze te ali mu zuwo lia ususu, iye mwe wapwile ni kusongwela yuma yeswe yize apwile ni kulingamo.
23 Mwata wa zuwo lia ususu te keshi kulihulumba ha chuma nichimwe, hakutwala ku yuma yize Yosefwe apwile ni kufunga, mumu Yehova kapwile hamwe ni Yosefwe, chikwo nawa, Yehova te kakuwahisa yuma yeswe yize Yosefwe apwile ni kulinga.
