Ndabva ndaisa kapu yacho muruoko rwaFarao.” 12 Josefa akabva ati kwaari: “Hope dzacho dzinodudzirwa seizvi: Tumapazi tutatu tunomirira mazuva matatu. 13 Mazuva matatu kubva nhasi, Farao achakubudisa* okudzorera pabasa rako,+ uye uchaisa kapu yaFarao muruoko rwake, sezvawaiita pawaiva mudiri wake.+ 14 Asi wozondiyeukawo kana zvakufambira zvakanaka. Undiitirewo mutsa nekuudza Farao nezvangu kuti andibudise muno. 15 Chiripo ndechekuti ndakaita zvekubiwa kunyika yevaHebheru,+ uye kuno kwandiri handina mhosva yandakapara yekuti vandiise mujeri.”*+
16 Mukuru wevabiki paakaona kuti zvakanga zvadudzirwa naJosefa zvaifadza, akabva ati kwaari: “Iniwo ndarota ndakatsiga tswanda nhatu dzechingwa chichena, 17 uye mutswanda yepamusoro manga muine zvingwa zvemhando dzakasiyana-siyana zvaFarao, uye panga paine shiri dzanga dzichidya zvanga zviri mutswanda yacho yanga iri pamusoro.” 18 Josefa akabva apindura kuti, “Hope dzacho dzinodudzirwa seizvi: Tswanda nhatu dzinomirira mazuva matatu. 19 Mazuva matatu kubva nhasi, Farao achakucheka musoro,* okusungirira padanda, uye shiri dzichadya nyama yako.”+
20 Zvino zuva rechitatu raiva zuva rekuberekwa kwaFarao,+ uye akaitira vashandi vake vese mabiko ndokubudisa mukuru* wevadiri nemukuru wevabiki vashandi vake vachiona. 21 Uye akadzorera mukuru wevadiri pabasa rake rekuva mudiri, akaramba achiisa kapu muruoko rwaFarao. 22 Asi akasungirira mukuru wevabiki, sezvavakanga vadudzirwa naJosefa.+ 23 Asi mukuru wevadiri haana kuyeuka Josefa; akabva atokanganwa nezvake.+
