Photifara a vhea Josefa uri a lange zwa muṱa wawe, a mu kumedza zwoṱhe zwe a vha e nazwo. 5U bva tshifhinga tshe a mu vhea uri a lange zwa muṱa wawe na zwoṱhe zwe a vha e nazwo, Muṋe washu a shudufhadza muṱa wa uyo Muegipita a tshi itela Josefa; Muṋe washu a shudufhadza zwoṱhe zwe Photifara a vha e nazwo, hoṱhe muṱani na tsimuni, 6zwoṱhe zwe a vha e nazwo a zwi kumedza Josefa uri a zwi londole, Photifara a si tsha ḓidina nga tshithu arali zwi si zwiḽiwa zwine a ḽa fhedzi.
Huno Josefa o vha o vhumbea zwavhuḓi, o naka. 7Ngavhuya mufumakadzi wa muṋe wawe a mu emula a ri, “Nga ri dzhenisane nḓuni!” 8Josefa a hana, a fhindula mufumakadzi wa muṋe wawe a ri, “Nga vha vhone, nṋe ndi langa zwoṱhe, muṋe wanga a vha tsha ḓidina nga tshithu fhano muṱani; zwoṱhe zwine vha vha nazwo vho zwi kumedza nṋe uri ndi zwi londole. 9A hu na ane a vha muhulwane fhano muṱani u fhira nṋe. Muṋe wanga a vha nnzivhisi tshithu arali vhe si vhone fhedzi nge vha vha mufumakadzi wavho. Zwino ndi nga itelani vhuvhi vhungafho nda khakhela Mudzimu?” 10Naho uyo mufumakadzi o amba na Josefa a dovha misi yoṱhe, Josefa a lamba u mu dzhenisa nḓuni, naho hu u tou dzula nae.
11Muṅwe musi Josefa a ya nḓuni a tshi yo shuma mishumo yawe; henefho ngomu ho vha hu si na na muthihi wa vhashumi vha nḓuni. 12Uyo mufumakadzi a fara Josefa nga khanzu a ri, “Nga ri dzhenisane nḓuni!” Hone Josefa a shavha a bva nḓuni, a sia khanzu yawe yo farwa nga uyo mufumakadzi. 13Musi uyo mufumakadzi a tshi vhona uri Josefa o shavha a bva nḓuni a sia khanzu yawe zwanḓani zwawe, 14a vhidza vhashumi vhawe vha nḓuni a ri, “Vhonani, uyu Muheberu o ḓiswa kha riṋe uri a tambe nga riṋe! O dzhena hafhano a tshi ri a ntshipe, nṋe nda ṱavha mukosi. 15Musi a tshi pfa ndi tshi ṱavha mukosi, a mbo ḓi shavha a bva nḓuni a sia khanzu yawe ndo i fara.”
16A vhea khanzu ya Josefa tsini hawe u swika muṋe wawe a tshi vhuya hayani. 17Ndi hone a tshi mu vhudza ayo mafhungo a ri, “Iḽa phuli ya Muheberu ye vha ri ḓisela yone yo ḓa kha nṋe ya tamba nga nṋe. 18Hone musi ndi tshi thoma u ṱavha mukosi, a shavha a bva nḓuni, a sia khanzu yawe ndo i fara.”

Huno musi Josefa e henefho dzhele, 21Muṋe washu o vha e nae; a mu itela vhuthu, a ita uri mulindadzhele a mu takalele. 22Mulindadzhele a ita uri Josefa a lange vhoṱhe vhe vha vha vho farwa dzhele, a ita uri a lavhelese zwoṱhe zwi no itwa henefho. 23Zwoṱhe zwine zwa londolwa nga Josefa mulindadzhele a si tsha zwi londa, nge Muṋe washu a vha e na Josefa, a ita uri zwoṱhe zwine a ita zwi mu nakele.
