Genesis 39
1 Gidala si Jose palugsong sa Ehipto. Si Potifar, nga usa ka opisyal sa Paraon nga kapitan sa mga guwardiya ug usa ka Ehiptohanon, nagpalit kaniya gikan sa mga Ismaelita, nga maoy nagdala kaniya didto.
Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2 Si Yahweh nag-uban kang Jose ug nagmalamboon siya nga tawo. Nagpuyo siya sa balay sa iyang agalon nga Ehiptohanon.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3 Nakita sa iyang agalon nga si Yahweh nag-uban kaniya ug gipanalanginan ni Yahweh ang tanan niyang gibuhat.
When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
4 Nakakaplag si Jose ug pabor sa iyang panan-aw. Nag-alagad siya kang Potifar. Gihimo ni Potifar si Jose nga tigdumala sa iyang tibuok panimalay, ug ang tanan nga iyang gipanag-iyahan, iyang gibutang ilalom sa iyang pag-atiman.
Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.
5 Nahitabo kini gikan sa panahon nga gihimo niyang tigdumala si Jose sa tibuok niyang panimalay ug sa tibuok niyang gipanag-iyahan, nga gipanalanginan ni Yahweh ang balay sa Ehiptohanon tungod kang Jose. Ang panalangin ni Yahweh anaa sa tanang butang nga anaa sa panimalay ni Potifar ug sa kaumahan.
From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.
6 Gibutang ni Potifar ubos sa pagdumala ni Jose ang tanan nga anaa kaniya. Wala na siya maghunahuna sa bisan unsa gawas sa iyang pagkaon. Karon kining si Jose gwapo ug makadani.
So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
7 Nahitabo human niini nga ang asawa sa agalon ni Jose naibog kaniya. Miingon ang babaye, “Dulog kanako.”
and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
8 Apan midumili si Jose ug miingon sa asawa sa iyang agalon, “Tan-awa, ang akong agalon wala na manghilabot kung unsa ang akong pagabuhaton sa balay, ug iyang gibutang ubos sa akong pagdumala ang tanang butang nga iyang gipanag-iyahan.
But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.
9 Walay usa nga mas labaw kay kanako niining panimalaya. Wala siyay gihikaw kanako gawas kanimo, tungod kay asawa ka man niya. Unsaon man nako pagbuhat niining hilabihang pagkadaotan ug sala batok sa Dios?”
No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”
10 Gidani niya si Jose sa matag-adlaw, apan nagdumili kini sa pagpakigdulog o sa pagpakig-uban kaniya.
Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
11 Miabot ang usa ka adlaw nga misulod siya sa balay aron pagbuhat sa iyang buluhaton. Walay mga tawo sa sulod sa panimalay.
One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
12 Gibira niya ang bisti ni Jose ug miingon, “Dulog kanako.” Unya nahibilin ang iyang bisti sa kamot sa babaye sa dihang miikyas ug miadto siya sa gawas.
She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
13 Pagkahuman, sa dihang nakita niya nga nahibilin ang bisti ni Jose sa iyang kamot ug miikyas pagawas,
When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14 gitawag niya ang mga tawo sa iyang balay ug giingnan sila, “Tan-awa, nagdala si Potifar ug usa ka Hebreohanon aron pakaulawan kita. Misulod siya aron makigdulog unta kanako, ug misinggit ako.
she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.
15 Sa dihang nadungog niya nga misinggit ako, miikyas siya ug nahibilin ang iyang bisti ngari kanako ug miadto sa gawas.”
When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 Gibutang niya ang bisti ni Jose tapad kaniya hangtod nga miabot ang iyang agalon.
So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
17 Gisugilon niya kini nga panghitabo ngadto kaniya, “Ang Hebreohanon nga ulipon nga imong gidala nganhi kanato, mianhi aron pakaulawan ako.
Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
18 Sa dihang misinggit ako, iyang nabiyaan ang iyang bisti nganhi kanako ug miikyas pagawas.”
but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19 Nahitabo kini sa dihang nadungog sa iyang agalon ang gisugilon sa asawa niini, “Mao kana ang gibuhat sa imong ulipon kanako,” ug nasuko siya pag-ayo.
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
20 Gidala sa iyang agalon si Jose ug gibilanggo siya, sa dapit kung asa nahimutang ang mga binilanggo sa hari. Anaa siya didto sa bilanggoan.
So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,
21 Apan si Yahweh nag-uban kang Jose ug nagpakita sa pagkamatinud-anon sa iyang saad ngadto kaniya. Gihatagan niya siya ug pabor sa panan-aw sa tigdumala sa bilanggoan.
the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
22 Gitugyan sa tigdumala sa bilanggoan ngadto sa kamot ni Jose ang tanan nga anaa sa bilanggoan. Bisan unsa ang ilang pagabuhaton didto, si Jose mao ang nagdumala niini.
And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
23 Wala na naghunahuna pa ang tigdumala sa bilanggoan sa bisan unsa nga anaa sa iyang kamot, tungod kay nag-uban man kaniya si Yahweh. Bisan unsa ang iyang pagabuhaton, gipalambo ni Yahweh.
The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
