16 Wayesebeka le ngubo kuye, yaze yafika ekhaya inkosi yakhe.
17 Wakhuluma kuyo wona lawa mazwi, wathi: “Le nceku engumHeberu, osilethele yona, ize kimi ukuba idlale ngami;
18 kwathi ukuba ngiphakamise izwi lami ngimemeza, yashiya ingubo yayo kimi, yabalekela phandle.”
19 Yathi inkosi yakhe isizwe amazwi omkayo ayewakhulume kuyo, ethi: “Yenze njalo kimi inceku yakho,” lwavutha ulaka lwayo.
20 Inkosi kaJosefa yamthatha, yamfaka etilongweni, indawo lapho iziboshwa zenkosi zaziboshwa khona; waba khona etilongweni.
21 Kepha uJehova wayenaye uJosefa, wamupha umusa, wamenzela ububele emehlweni omlindi wetilongo.
22 Umlindi wetilongo wanikela esandleni sikaJosefa zonke iziboshwa ezazisetilongweni; konke ezazikwenza khona nguyena owayekwenza.
