39 Awe baletele Yosefe ku Egupti,+ kabili Potifa,+ umwina Egupti, uwalebomba kwi sano, kabili umukalamba wa bamalonda, alimushitile ku bena Ishmaele+ abamuletele kulya.
2 Lelo Yehova ali na Yosefe, na fyonse ifyo alecita fyalemuwamina+ kabili aishileba umukalamba mu ng’anda ya kwa shikulu wakwe, umwina Egupti.
3 Na shikulu wakwe amwene ukuti Yehova ali nankwe no kuti Yehova alepaala conse ico alecita.
4 Awe Yosefe aali uwatemwikwa kuli shikulu wakwe kabili alemubombela lyonse, ica kuti amubikile ukuba umukalamba pa ng’anda yakwe,+ na conse ico akwete apeele mu minwe yakwe.
5 Nomba ukutula apo amubikile ukuba umukalamba pa ng’anda yakwe no kwangalila ifipe fyakwe fyonse, Yehova alepaala ing’anda ya mwina Egupti uyu pa mulandu wa kwa Yosefe, kabili ipaalo lya kwa Yehova lyaishileba pali conse ico akwete mu ng’anda na mu mpanga.+
6 Asukile Potifa aleka conse ico akwete cibe mu minwe ya kwa Yosefe;+ kabili talesakamana nangu cimo kano fye ifya kulya alelya. Kabili Yosefe aishileba uwayemba icata kabili alemoneka uwayemba.
7 Nomba pa numa ya ifi fintu umukashi wa kwa shikulu wakwe atendeke ukupoosa amenso+ yakwe pali Yosefe no kutila: “Sendama na ine.”+
8 Lelo alekaana+ kabili aleti ku mukashi wa kwa shikulu wakwe: “Moneni shikulu tasakamana nangu cimo mu ng’anda ino, na conse ico akwata apeela mu minwe yandi.+
9 Tamuli nangu umo uwancila muli ino ng’anda, kabili tantana nangu cimo kano fye imwe, pantu muli mukashi wakwe.+ E ico kuti nacita shani ububi bwakula ifyo no kubembukila Lesa?”+
10 Nomba lyonse ilyo alesosa kuli Yosefe cila bushiku ukuti asendame nankwe nangu ukuba nankwe, alemukaanina.+
11 Nomba pa bushiku ubu nge fyo caleba inshiku shimbi aingile mu ng’anda ku kubomba imilimo yakwe, na mu ng’anda tamwali nangu umo uwa pa ng’anda.+
12 E lyo umwanakashi amwikete ku ca kufwala cakwe,+ no kutila: “Sendama na ine!”+ Lelo ashile ica kufwala cakwe mu minwe yakwe kabili alifulumwike no kufumina pa nse.+
13 Nomba ilyo amona amushiila ica kufwala mu minwe pa kufulumukila pa nse,
14 atendeke ukubilikisha ku ba mu ng’anda yakwe, ati: “Moneni! Atuleteele umwaume, umuHebere, ku kutuseebanya. Eshile kuli ine ukuti asendame na ine, lelo ine nacitendeka ukupunda ishiwi ilikalamba.+
15 Nomba ilyo acumfwa ukuti nasansula ishiwi no kutendeka ukupunda, e lyo acisha ica kufwala cakwe no kufulumukila pa nse.”
16 Na o asungile ica kufwala cakwe pa mbali yakwe mpaka shikulu wakwe abwelela ku ng’anda.+
17 E lyo amwebele amashiwi ya kuti: “Umubomfi mwatuletela umuHebere eshile kuli ine ku kunseebanya.
18 Lelo ilyo fye nacisansula ishiwi no kutendeka ukupunda, e lyo acisha ica kufwala cakwe pa mbali yandi no kufulumukila pa nse.”+
19 E ico shikulu wakwe pa kumfwa amashiwi ya mukashi wakwe ayo amwebele, ati: “Ifi ne fi e fyo umubomfi wenu acicita kuli ine,” ubukali bwakwe bwaliimine.+
20 E ico shikulu wa kwa Yosefe alimusendele no kumutwala mu cifungo, umo abafungwa ba mfumu balekakilwa, na o atwalilile ukuba mu cifungo.+
21 Lelo, Yehova ali na Yosefe kabili alemulanga icikuuku no kumulenga ukutemwikwa ku mukalamba wa cifungo.+
22 E ico umukalamba wa cifungo apeele abafungwa bonse abali mu cifungo mu minwe ya kwa Yosefe; kabili e walesuminisha conse ico bali no kucita mulya.+
23 Umukalamba wa cifungo talebikako amano kuli fyonse ifyo apeele Yosefe, pantu Yehova ali na Yosefe kabili Yehova alepaala conse ico alecita.+
