40 Kunyima kua ino mianda, mukata a bedi ba maalua ba nfumu a mu Ejipitu na mukata a bantu abakitaa mikate, abaadi baluishishe nfumuabo, nfumu a mu Ejipitu.
2 Biabia Faraone nkufiitshila bafubi baye babidi munda, mukata a bedi ba maalua, na mukata a bantu abakitaa mikate,
3 na aye nkuibelesha mu lukano lua mu nshibo ya mukata a balami ba nfumu, mubaabadi bele Yosefe.
4 Mukata a balami ba nfumu nkutuala Yosefe bua’shi ekale nabo, na ekale ebalama, na abo nkushala mu lukano munda mua ndambo a mafuku.
5 Muedi a maalua na muntu akitaa mikate ba nfumu a mu Ejipitu, babaadi mu lukano, oso a kuabadi balotele kilotua mu bufuku bumune, na kilotua kioso kibaadi na kipatuluilo kiakio.
6 Ku namashika, nsaa ibatuelele Yosefe na ebamona, babaadi abamueneka bakalakashue.
7 Biabia aye nkuipusha bafubi ba Faraone abaadi naye mu lukano mu nshibo ya nfumuaye’shi: “Buakinyi mapala eenu ngenyongole lelo?”
8 Abo nkumualula’shi: “Oso a kuatudi baloto kilotua, anka takui muntu akuitupatuluila bianka.” Yosefe nkuibalungula’shi: “Kupatuula kua bilotua t’akufiki kui Efile Mukulu su? Ndondeleyi namu bianka.”
9 Biabia mukata a bedi ba maalua nkulondela Yosefe kilotua kiaye, aye nkumulungula’shi: “Mu kilotua kiande, kuikeele mutshi wa nfinyo kumpala kuande.
10 Ku mutshi wa nfinyo kuikeele ntabi isatu, ao nkusapila, nkutuusha bilongo na bisaasa bia tukuba tua nfinyo nkumonga.
11 Na ekopo dia Faraone dikeele muiyasa diande, na nata tukuba tua nfinyo, netukama muikopo dia Faraone. Kunyima kua biabia natuulu ekopo muiyasa dia Faraone.”
12 Nyi Yosefe nkumulungula’shi: “Kipatuluilo kiakio nyi nkino: Ntabi isatu nyi mafuku asatu.
13 Mu mafuku asatu’mu Faraone akakutuusha,* akakualusha ku mufubo oobe na okatuulu ekopo dia Faraone muiyasa diaye, bu bibodi okitshi kumpala pobodi muedi aaye a maalua.
14 Anka, ontentekieshe apakuyila mianda kalolo. Ondeshe namu kifulo kia lulamato na olungule Faraone muanda wande bua’shi ntuukie mu ino mbalo.
15 Babaadi bankuate pa bukopo mu nsenga ya bena Ebelu, na ntshi mukite muanda su ngumune pano wa’shi bangiele mu lukano.”*
16 Pabamuene mukata a bantu abakitaa mikate’shi Yosefe bapatuula muanda wibuwa, bamulunguile’shi: “Nami namu nekeele mulote kilotua, na kuikeele biseele bisatu bia mikate itooka ku mutue kuande,
17 na mu kiseele kia kunundu muikeele mikate ya mishindo yoso bua Faraone, na tonyi tuikeele atuiyidi mu kiseele kikeele ku mutue kuande.”
18 Nyi Yosefe nkualula’shi: “Kipatuluilo kiakio nyi nkino: Biseele bisatu nyi mafuku asatu.
19 Mu mafuku asatu’mu, Faraone akutshibi mutue,* na akupudikie ku mutshi, tonyi tudie muita oobe.”
20 Efuku dia kasatu, dibaadi efuku dia kutentekiesha kutandikua kua Faraone, na aye nkukita musangelo bua bafubi baye boso, na aye nkutuusha* mukata a bedi ba maalua na mukata a bantu abakitaa mikate kumpala kua bafubi baye.
21 Aye nkualusha mukata a bedi ba maalua ku mufubo waye wa kuela maalua, na aye nkutungunuka na kutambika Faraone ekopo.
22 Anka aye nkupudika mukata a bantu abakitaa mikate, nka bibaadi Yosefe muibapatuluile.
23 Kadi mukata a bedi ba maalua tabaadi mutentekieshe Yosefe; bamulubile.
