Genesis 39

1 Joseph to Izip prae ah caeh o haih tathuk; Faro ih angraeng maeto ah kaom, Izip kami, misatuh angraeng Potiphar mah, Joseph to Ishmael kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah a qanh.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.

2 Angraeng mah Joseph to oh haih, anih loe tuinuen hoih kami ah oh; anih loe Izip kami, angmah angraeng ih im ah oh.

And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.

3 Angraeng mah anih oh thuih pongah, a sak ih toknawk boih ah hmacawn, tito angmah ih angraeng mah panoek.

And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.

4 Joseph loe anih ih mikcuk naakrak ah khosakhaih hoiah anih ih tok to sak pae; angmah ih imthung khenzawnkung ah a suek moe, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih doeh anih ban ah ap.

And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.

5 Anih to imthung takoh hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih khenzawnkung ah suek pacoengah, Joseph rang hoiah Angraeng mah Izip kami ih imthung takoh to tahamhoihaih paek; Angraeng tahamhoihaih loe Potiphar mah tawnh ih im ih hmuennawk hoi lawk ah tawnh ih hmuennawk boih nuiah oh.

And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.

6 To pongah a tawnh ih hmuennawk to Joseph khaeah a paek boih; anih loe takaw caak khue ai ah loe, a tawnh ih hmuen roe poek ai boeh; Joseph loe somsang hoih moe, krang doeh hoih.

And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.

7 Nazetto maw oh pacoengah loe angraeng ih zu mah Joseph to khit moe, kai hae na iip haih ah, tiah a naa.

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.

8 Toe Joseph mah angmak pae, angmah ih angraeng zu khaeah, Khenah, ka angraeng mah imthung ah kaom hmuennawk boih ka ban ah ap boeh pongah, im ah a suek ih hmuenmae to poek ai boeh;

But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:

9 hae imthung takoh ah kai pong kalen kue mi doeh om ai boeh; nang loe anih ih zu ah na oh pongah, nang khue ai ah loe ka angraeng mah kai hanah paawt ih hmuen tidoeh om ai; kawbang maw kalen parai hae baktih kasae hmuen hoiah zaehaih to Sithaw hmaa ah ka sah thai tih? tiah a naa.

and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?

10 Nito pacoeng nito Joseph khaeah to baktih lok to a thuih pae, toe Joseph loe anih to iih haih moe, nawnto oh haih han koeh ai pongah, anih ih lok to tahngai pae ai.

And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,

11 Nito naah Joseph loe angmah ih tok to sak hanah imthung ah caeh; to naah imthung ah tamna maeto doeh om ai.

it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.

12 Potiphar ih zu mah Joseph ih laihaw to patawnh moe, Kai hae na iip haih ah, tiah a naa. Toe Joseph mah angmah ih laihaw to nongpata ban ah angkhring pae sut moe, im tasa bangah cawnh taak ving.

And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.

13 Nongpata mah Joseph loe laihaw angkhring moe, anih ban ah caehtaak sut pacoengah, tasa bangah cawnh ving boeh, tiah panoek naah,

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,

14 nongpata mah a im ih kaminawk to kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, Khenah, aicae pahnui thuih han ih ni hae Hebru kami hae aicae khaeah a hoih; anih loe kai iih haih hanah kai khaeah angzoh, toe tha hoi ka hang;

that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

15 tha hoi ka hanghaih lok to anih mah thaih naah, angmah ih laihaw to kai khaeah a caehtaak sut moe, im tasa bangah a cawnh ving, tiah a naa.

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.

16 Angmah ih angraeng im ah angzo ai karoek to, Joseph ih laihaw to nongpata angmah khaeah suek.

So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.

17 Angraeng angzoh naah loe hae tiah a thuih pae, Kaicae khaeah nang hoih ih Hebru thendoeng loe kai pahnui thuih hanah kai khaeah angzoh;

And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.

18 Toe tha hoi ka hangh naah, angmah ih laihaw to kai khaeah a caeh taak moe, angmah to loe im tasa bangah cawnh ving, tiah a naa.

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.

19 To tiah na tamna mah kai hae ang sak, tiah a zu mah thuih ih lok to angraeng mah thaih naah, a sava palungphuihaih loe hmai baktiah amngaeh.

And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.

20 Joseph ih angraeng mah anih to naeh moe, siangpahrang mah thong pakhrak ih kaminawk suekhaih ahmuen ah Joseph to suek; Joseph loe to ih thongim thungah oh.

And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.

21 Toe Joseph loe Angraeng mah oh thuih; a nuiah tahmenhaih amtuengsak moe, thongim toepkungnawk mikcuk naakrak ah oh thaihaih to paek.

And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favor in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.

22 Thongim ukkung mah thongkrah kaminawk boih khenzawnkung ah Joseph to suek; to ah sak o ih hmuennawk boih khenzawnkung ah Joseph to a suek.

And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.

23 Angraeng mah anih to oh thuih pongah, a sak ih hmuen boih ah hmacawn; Joseph khetzawnhaih tlim ah kaom hmuennawk loe thongim khenkung mah khet let han angai ai boeh.

Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
