Mpesawo utangophukira, unachita maluwa ndipo maphava ake anabereka mphesa zakupsa. 11Chikho cha Farao chinali mʼmanja mwanga, ndipo ndinatenga mphesa, kupsinyira mu chikho cha Farao ndi kuchipereka mʼmanja mwake.”
12Yosefe anati kwa iye, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: Nthambi zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu. 13Pakangopita masiku atatu, Farao adzakutulutsa muno. Udzaperekera zakumwa kwa Farao monga momwe umachitira poyamba. 14Koma zako zikakuyendera bwino, udzandikumbukire ndi kundikomera mtima. Chonde ukandipepesere kwa Farao kuti anditulutse muno. 15Popezatu ine anangochita mondiba kubwera nane kuno kuchokera ku dziko la Ahebri, ndipo ngakhale kunoko, ine sindinalakwe kali konse kuti ndizipezeka mʼdzenje muno.”

18Yosefe anati, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: nsengwa zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu. 19Pakangotha masiku atatu Farao adzakutulutsa muno koma adzakupachika. Ndipo mbalame zidzadya mnofu wako.”
20Tsono tsiku lachitatulo linali lokumbukira kubadwa kwa Farao, ndipo anawakonzera phwando akuluakulu ake onse. Anatulutsa mʼndende mkulu wa operekera zakumwa ndi mkulu wa ophika buledi, ndipo anawayimiritsa pamaso pa nduna zake. 21Tsono Farao anamubwezera mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja pa udindo wake, kotero kuti anayamba kuperekeranso zakumwa kwa Farao, 22koma mkulu wa ophika buledi anamupachika, mofanana ndi mmene Yosefe anatanthauzira maloto.
23Koma mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja sanamukumbukire Yosefe ndipo anamuyiwaliratu.
