    • Endzabeni yaJosefa, umphumela wawumatima. UmkaPhotifari abefuna kutiphindziselela. Wasukeka wamemeta, abita leletinye tisebenti kutsi tingene endlini. Watsi Josefa abezama kumdlwengula kodvwa wase uyabaleka ngesikhatsi amemeta. Wayibeka lengubo njengebufakazi wase umela indvodza yakhe kutsi ibuye. Nakabuya ekhaya Photifari, umfati wakhe wamtjela lawo manga, wamsola ngekutsi nguye labeletse lesihambi endlini yabo. Yini Photifari layenta? Naku lesikufundzako: “Lendvuna yatfukutselela Josefa kamatima.” Yase iyamtsatsa imfaka ejele kuze avalelwe khona.​—Genesisi 39:13-20.

      “TINYAWO TAKHE BATIBOPHA NGETINKETANE”

      Kuncane lesikwatiko ngemajele aseGibhithe angaleso sikhatsi. Bososayensi batfole tindzala talawo majele​—takhiwo letinkhulu lebetinetitokisi letingetulu kanye naletinye letingephansi kwemhlaba. Josefa wachaza lendzawo ngeligama lelitsi ‘lijele,’ lelitsi nalihunyushwe njengobe linjalo lisho umgodzi, lokusho indzawo lemnyama futsi lokute litsemba kuyo. (Genesisi 40:15) Encwadzini yeTihlabelelo, sifundza kutsi Josefa waphindze wahlushwa nangalenye indlela: “Tinyawo takhe batibopha ngetinketane, naye lucobo lwakhe waboshwa ngetinsimbi.” (Tihlabelelo 105:17, 18) Ngaletinye tikhatsi, emaGibhithe abebopha tiboshwa ngekuhlanganisa tingcosa tato ngemuva; labanye bebababopha ngetinsimbi entsanyeni. Kufanele kutsi kwakubuhlungu ngaJosefa kuhlushwa kangaka, abe angakoni lutfo!

      Lokubuhlungu nakakhulu kutsi loku akuzange kube yintfo yesikhashana. Lokulandzisa kusitjela kutsi Josefa “wahlala khona” lapho ejele. Wacitsa iminyaka kuleyo ndzawo!a Futsi Josefa abengati kutsi utawuke akhululwe. Njengobe lawo malanga akhula aba ngemaviki, ase aba natinyanga, yini leyamenta wangalilahli litsemba futsi wangaphelelwa nangemandla?
