Jusufu akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũtaũri ti wa Ngai? Njĩĩrai irooto cianyu.”
9Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnene wa arĩa maatwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei akĩĩra Jusufu kĩroto gĩake. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩroto-inĩ gĩakwa ndĩronire mũthabibũ ũrĩ mbere yakwa, 1040:10 Isa 27:6; Hos 14:7na ũraarĩ na honge ithatũ. Nacio iraaruta kĩro o ũguo iracanũka, nacio imanjĩka cia thabibũ irerua. 11Na niĩ ndĩrakorwo nyiitĩte gĩkombe kĩa Firaũni na guoko, ndĩrooya thabibũ icio, ndĩraacihihĩra gĩkombe-inĩ kĩa Firaũni, na ndĩramũnengera.”
1240:12 Dan 2:36Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Honge icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ. 1340:13 Josh 1:11Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩegũgũtũũgĩria na agũcookie wĩra-inĩ waku, na ũcooke kũnengagĩra Firaũni gĩkombe gĩake, o ta ũrĩa wekaga rĩrĩa warĩ mũmũhei ndibei. 1440:14 1Sam 25:31; 1Athe 2:7No rĩrĩa maũndũ maku makaagaacĩra-rĩ, ũkandirikana ũnjiguĩre tha, ũngweete harĩ Firaũni, ũndute gũkũ njeera. 15Tondũ nĩkũnyiitwo ndaanyiitirwo na hinya, ngĩrutwo bũrũri wa Ahibirania, na ningĩ o na gũkũ gũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndeekĩte wa gũtũma njikio njeera.”
1640:16 Amos 8:1-2Na rĩrĩa mũnene wa arĩa athondeki mĩgate onire atĩ Jusufu nĩataũra kĩroto kĩu wega-rĩ, akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩndĩrarootete: Ndĩrakuuĩte ikabũ ithatũ cia mĩgate na mũtwe. 17Gĩkabũ kĩrĩa kĩrarigĩtie igũrũ kĩraarĩ na mĩgate ya mĩthemba yothe ĩthondekeirwo Firaũni; no nacio nyoni iramĩrĩĩaga ĩrĩ o gĩkabũ-inĩ ndĩgĩkuuĩte na mũtwe.”
1840:18 Kĩam 40:12Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Ikabũ icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ. 1940:19 Gũcook 21:22-23; 1Sam 17:44Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩagagũtinithia mũtwe na akwambithie mũtĩ igũrũ. Nacio nyoni nĩikarĩa nyama cia mwĩrĩ waku.”
20Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa gatatũ warĩ wa kũririkana gũciarwo kwa Firaũni, nake akĩrugithĩria anene ake iruga inene. Nake akĩririkana mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei na mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate mbere ya anene arĩa angĩ ake: 2140:21 2Ath 25:27; Jer 52:31Agĩcookia mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei wĩra-inĩ wake, nĩgeetha acooke gũtwarĩra Firaũni gĩkombe rĩngĩ. 22No rĩrĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate-rĩ, akĩmũcuria mũtĩ igũrũ o ta ũrĩa Jusufu aamerĩte ũtaũri-inĩ wake.
2340:23 Koh 1:11No mũnene ũcio wa arĩa maatwaragĩra Firaũni ndibei ndaigana kũririkana Jusufu; nĩariganĩirwo nĩwe.
约瑟解梦
1后来，埃及王的侍酒总管和膳食总管得罪了王， 2王非常愤怒， 3把他们囚禁在护卫长波提乏府内的监牢里，也就是约瑟被囚的地方。 4护卫长派约瑟去伺候他们。他们在监里待了一段日子。
5一天晚上，他们俩都做了梦，他们的梦各有不同的意思。 6第二天早上，约瑟过来见他们神情沮丧， 7就问：“你们今天为什么满面愁容？” 8他们回答说：“我们都做了梦，可是没有人给我们解梦。”约瑟说：“解梦的能力不是来自上帝吗？请你们把梦告诉我。”
9侍酒总管便把自己的梦告诉约瑟，说：“我梦见一棵葡萄树， 10树上有三根枝子，枝子发芽开花，结满了成熟的葡萄。 11我手上拿着法老的酒杯，摘下葡萄，把汁挤在酒杯中，然后递给法老。” 12约瑟说：“这梦的意思是，三根枝子代表三天， 13三天之内，法老必定释放你，恢复你侍酒总管的职位。你仍要和从前一样伺候法老饮酒。 14当你再被重用的时候，请你记得恩待我，在法老面前提及我，救我出狱。 15我是从希伯来人那里被拐来的，无辜被囚在监。”
16膳食总管见梦解得好，就对约瑟说：“我也做了个梦，我梦见自己头上顶着三筐白饼， 17最上面的一筐里放着为法老烤制的各种食物，有鸟来吃筐内的食物。” 18约瑟说：“这梦的意思是，三筐就是三天， 19三天之内，法老必砍下你的头，把你挂在木头上，鸟要来吃你的肉。”
20第三天是法老的生日，他宴请文武百官，把侍酒总管和膳食总管从监牢里提出来， 21恢复了侍酒总管的职位，让他仍旧伺候自己饮酒， 22却处死了膳食总管，正应验了约瑟的话。 23然而，法老的侍酒总管把约瑟忘了。
