Suencuek 39

1 Josephte Egypt laa suntlak puei ngawn dae, anih aka suntlak puei Ishmael kut lamkahte Egypt hlang, imtawt mangpa, Pharaoh imkhoem, Potiphar loh pahoia lai.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

2 Tedae BOEIPAte Joseph taengaha om dongah hlang thaihtak la coeng tih a boei Egypt hoel kah im ah om.

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 A boei long khaw, BOEIPAte Joseph taengah tih a saii boeih te a kut dongah BOEIPAloh a thaihtak sak tilaa hmuh.

And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 Josephte a mikhmuh ah mikdaithenlaa hmuh tih a taengah thotat. Te vaengah Potiphar loh a imte Joseph pum dongaha hlah pah. Te phoeiah a koe boeih te a kut aha tloeng pah.

And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

5 Tedae a im neh a koe boeih tea hlah pah vaeng lamloh om tih, Joseph kong ah Egypt cako te BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek. BOEIPA kah yoethennahte a koe neh im, lo boeih dongla cet.

And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

6 A koe boeih te Joseph kut aha hnoo pah van neh Egypt hoel loh buh caak bueng te a ming tih ba khaw amah loh ming pawh. Joseph ngawn tah a suisak sakthen tih mueimae sakthen la om.

And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

7 Tedae hekah olka he a om phoeiah a boei kah a yuuloh a dan vaengah Joseph te a mik neh a nai tih, “Kai taengah yalh mai,” a ti nah.

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

8 Tedae a boei yuu tea aal tih, “Ka boeipa loh im kah aka om te kai taengah ngaiyak mueh la a khuehtawn boeih te ka kut aha tloeng coeng.

But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master knows not what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand;

9 Hekah im ah kai lakah aka len a om moenih. Tedae nang tah a yuu la na om dongah nang mueh atah ba khaw kai hama hloh moenih. Te dongah metlam lae boethae aka len he ka saii vetih Pathen taengah ka tholh sui dae,” a ti nah.

There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back any thing from me but you, because you are his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

10 Joseph taengah, khohnin khohnin a thui pah van dae a taengah yalh ham neh om hmaih ham te Joseph lohngaiyaknah pawh.

And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

11 Tedae hnin at ah Joseph te amah kah bi saii ham im khuila a caeh van hatah, tekah im ah im om hlang te khat khaw om pawh.

And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

12 Te dongah Potiphar yuu loh Josephte a himbai aha tuuk tih, “Kai taengah yalh mai,” a ti nah. Tedae Joseph loh a himbaite anih kut aha caehtak phoeiah rhaelrham tih poeng la cet.

And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

13 Tedae a kut dongah a himbaia caehtak pa tih poeng laa rhaelrham vaengah te boeinuloh a hmu.

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

14 Te dongah a im kah tongparhoek tea khue tih, “So uh lah, mamih aka lawn la Hebrew hlangte mamih taengla han khuen. Kai taengah yalh ham kamah taengla m'paan dongah ol ue neh ka pang.

That she called unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying, See, he has brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

15 Tedae ka ol ka huel tih ka pang te a yaak hatah kai taegah a himbaia caehtak phoeiah rhaelrham tih poeng la cet,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.

And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

16 Te phoeiah a boei loh a ima paan duela a kah himbaite amah taengaha khoem.

And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

17 A taengah hekah olka banglaa thui pah tih, “Kai aka lawn ham ning taengahna det Hebrew sal loh ka taengah m'paan.

And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which you have brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:

18 Te dongah ka ol ka huel tih ka pang hatah a himbaite kai taengaha hnoo tih poeng la rhaelrham,” a ti nah.

And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

19 “Na sal loh kai hekah hno he a saii,” a tinah tih a taengaha thui a yuu kah olka te a boeiloh a yaak vaengah ngawn tah a thintoek ah pahoi sai.

And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying, After this manner did your servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

20 Te dongah Josephte a boeiloh a khuen tih manghailoh a khoh thongtla rhoek kah a hmuen, thong im aha khueh dongah thong im ah pahoi om.

And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

21 Tedae BOEIPA loh Josepha om puei tih sitlohnaha tueng sak dongah thong im kah mangpa mikhmuh ah anihte mikdaithenlaa khueh.

But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

22 Te dongah thong im kah mangpa loh thong im kah thongtla boeih te Joseph kut aha paek tih saii hamkoi boeih te aka saii la Joseph khaw pahoi om.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

23 BOEIPA tah anih taengah om tih a saii te BOEIPAloh a thaihtak sak. Te dongah thong im mangpaaom pawt akhaw a kut hmuikah tah pakhat hilah boeiha sawt.

The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
