14 Saka Farao akaita kuti Josefa anotorwa,+ uye vakakurumidza kumubudisa mujeri.*+ Akazviveura,* akachinja zvipfeko zvake, ndokupinda maiva naFarao. 15 Farao akabva ati kuna Josefa: “Ndarota hope, asi hapana ari kukwanisa kudzidudzira.

17 Farao akabva audza Josefa kuti: “Ndarota ndimire pamahombekombe eRwizi rwaNire. 18 Ndaona mhou nomwe dzakakora uye dzakanaka dzichibuda muna Nire, dzikatanga kufura uswa pedyo naNire.+ 19 Panga paine dzimwe mhou nomwe dzanga dzichibuda dzichidzitevera, dzanga dzisina kana utano, dzisingatarisiki uye dzakaonda. Handisati ndamboona mhou dzakaipa zvakadaro munyika yese yeIjipiti. 20 Mhou dziya dzakaondoroka uye dzakaipa dzatanga kudya mhou nomwe dzakakora dzekutanga. 21 Asi padzapedza kudzidya, hapana aigona kuziva kuti ndizvo zvadzanga dzaita, nekuti dzaramba dzakangoonda sezvadzanga dzakaita pakutanga. Ndabva ndapepuka.

22 “Pashure paizvozvo ndazorota ndichiona hura nomwe dzezviyo dzanga dzichibuda padzinde rimwe, dzakasvika uye dzakanaka.+ 23 Pazobudawo hura nomwe dzezviyo dzakaputana, nhete, dzakapiswa nemhepo yekumabvazuva. 24 Hura dzezviyo dzakatetepa dzabva dzatanga kumedza hura nomwe dzezviyo dzakanaka. Saka ndaudza vapristi vanoita zvemashiripiti,+ asi hapana akwanisa kunditsanangurira.”+

25 Josefa akabva ati kuna Farao: “Hope dzaFarao dzakangofanana. Mwari wechokwadi audza Farao zvaachaita.+ 26 Mhou nomwe dzakanaka dzinomirira makore manomwe. Uyewo hura dzezviyo nomwe dzakanaka dzinomirira makore manomwe. Hope dzacho dzakangofanana. 27 Mhou nomwe dzakaondoroka uye dzakaipa dzazodzitevera dzinomirira makore manomwe, uye hura dzezviyo nomwe dzakaputana, dzakapiswa nemhepo yekumabvazuva, dzichava makore manomwe enzara. 28 Sekutaura kwandamboita kuna Farao, Mwari wechokwadi aita kuti Farao aone zvaachaita.

29 “Kuchava nemakore manomwe anenge aine zvekudya zvakawandisa munyika yese yeIjipiti. 30 Asi achazoteverwa nemakore manomwe enzara, uye zvekudya zvizhinji zvese zvemunyika yeIjipiti zvichakanganwika, uye nyika ichasakadzwa nenzara.+ 31 Zvekudya zvizhinji zvinenge zvambova munyika yacho hazvizoyeukwi nemhaka yenzara inozotevera, nekuti ichange yakakura. 32 Hope dzadzokororwa kaviri kuna Farao nekuti nyaya yacho yasimbiswa kwazvo naMwari wechokwadi, uye Mwari wechokwadi achakurumidza kuzviita.

33 “Saka Farao ngaatsvage murume akangwara uye akachenjera, oisa nyika yeIjipiti mumaoko ake. 34 Farao ngaaone zvekuita, agadze vatariri munyika, uye anofanira kuunganidza chikamu chimwe chete pazvikamu zvishanu zvezvinhu zvichakohwewa muIjipiti mumakore manomwe emaguta.+ 35 Uye ngavaunganidze zvekudya zvese zvemakore aya akanaka ari kuuya, uye ngavaunganidze zviyo mumatura aFarao ari mumaguta, zvochengetwa imomo.+ 36 Zvekudya zvacho zvichange zvichidyiwa nevanhu mumakore manomwe enzara achavapo munyika yeIjipiti, kuitira kuti nyika irege kuparadzwa nenzara.”+

37 Zano racho rakanga rakanaka kuna Farao nekuvashandi vake vese. 38 Saka Farao akati kuvashandi vake: “Pangawanikwa mumwe murume akafanana neuyu ane mweya waMwari maari here?” 39 Farao akabva ati kuna Josefa: “Sezvo Mwari aita kuti uzive zvese izvi, hapana mumwe munhu akangwara uye akachenjera sewe. 40 Imba yangu ichava mumaoko ako, uye vanhu vangu vese vachateerera zvese zvaunotaura.+ Ndichangova mukuru kwauri pakuti ndini mambo.”* 41 Farao akatizve kuna Josefa: “Ona, ndiri kukugadza kuti utungamirire nyika yese yeIjipiti.”+ 42 Farao akabva abvisa rin’i yake ine chidhindo muruoko rwake, akaipfekedza Josefa muruoko, akamupfekedzawo nguo yakanaka kwazvo, akaisa chishongo chegoridhe muhuro make. 43 Uyezve, akaita kuti akwire mungoro yechipiri yekukudzwa yaaiva nayo, uye vanhu vaishevedzera vari pamberi pake vachiti, “A·vrékh!”* Saka akamugadza kuti atungamirire nyika yese yeIjipiti.

44 Farao akabva atizve kuna Josefa: “Ndini Farao, asi kana pasina mvumo yako, hapana munhu anogona kuita chero chii zvacho* munyika yese yeIjipiti.”+ 45 Pashure paizvozvo Farao akatumidza Josefa kuti Zafenati-paneya uye akamupa Asenati+ mwanasikana waPotifera mupristi weOni* kuti ave mudzimai wake. Josefa akatanga kushanda semutariri wenyika yeIjipiti.*+ 46 Josefa akanga ava nemakore 30+ paakamira pamberi paFarao* mambo weIjipiti.

Josefa akabva pamberi paFarao akafamba nenyika yese yeIjipiti. 47 Uye mumakore manomwe ezvekudya zvizhinji, nyika yacho yakaramba ichibereka zvakawanda kwazvo. 48 Akaramba achiunganidza zvekudya zvese zvemunyika yeIjipiti zvemakore manomwe uye aichengeta zvekudya zvacho mumaguta. Muguta rimwe nerimwe aichengeta zvekudya zvaibva muminda yakanga yakaripoteredza. 49 Josefa akaramba achiunganidza zviyo zvakawanda kwazvo, sejecha regungwa, kusvikira vazorega kuzviyera, nekuti zvakanga zvakawandisa.

50 Gore renzara risati rasvika, Josefa akaberekerwa vanakomana vaviri+ naAsenati mwanasikana waPotifera mupristi weOni.* 51 Josefa akatumidza dangwe racho kuti Manase,*+ nekuti akati, “Mwari aita kuti ndikanganwe nhamo dzangu dzese uye imba yababa vangu.” 52 Akatumidza wechipiri kuti Efremu,*+ nekuti akati, “Mwari aita kuti ndibereke munyika yekutambudzika kwangu.”+

53 Makore manomwe ezvekudya zvizhinji muIjipiti akazopera,+ 54 uye makore manomwe enzara akatanga, sezvakanga zvataurwa naJosefa.+ Nzara yacho yakavapo munyika dzese, asi munyika yese yeIjipiti maiva nezvekudya.+ 55 Nyika yese yeIjipiti yakazopedzisira yavawo nenzara uye vanhu vakatanga kuchemera zvekudya kuna Farao.+ Farao akabva ati kuvaIjipiti vese: “Endai kuna Josefa moita zvese zvaanokuudzai.”+ 56 Nzara yakaramba iripo pasi rese.+ Josefa akabva atanga kuzarura matura ese akanga ari pakati pavo, achitengesera vaIjipiti,+ sezvo nzara yakanga yanyanya munyika yese yeIjipiti. 57 Uyezve, pasi rese vanhu vaiuya kuIjipiti kuzotenga kuna Josefa, nekuti nzara yakanga yanyanya pasi rese.+
