32 Hope dzacho zvadzadzokororwa kaviri kuna Farao zvinoreva kuti chinhu chacho chasimbiswa kwazvo naMwari wechokwadi,+ uye Mwari wechokwadi ari kukurumidza kuzviita.+
33 “Naizvozvo Farao ngaatsvake murume akangwara uye akachenjera amugadze kuti atarisire nyika yose yeIjipiti.+

43 Uyezve, akaita kuti akwire mungoro yechipiri yokukudzwa yaaiva nayo,+ kuti vashevedzere pamberi pake kuti, “A·vrékh!” nokudaro achimuita kuti atarisire nyika yose yeIjipiti.
44 Farao akatizve kuna Josefa: “Ndini Farao, hapana murume angasimudza ruoko rwake kana tsoka yake munyika yose yeIjipiti asina kubvumirwa newe.”+
45 Pashure paizvozvo Farao akatumidza Josefa kuti Zafenati-paneya uye akamupa Asenati+ mwanasikana waPotifera mupristi weOni+ kuti ave mudzimai wake. Josefa akabuda akafamba panyika yeIjipiti.+
46 Josefa akanga ava nemakore makumi matatu+ paakamira pamberi paFarao Mambo weIjipiti.
