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.
Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2 Tedae BOEIPAte Joseph taengaha om dongah hlang thaihtak la coeng tih a boei Egypt hoel kah im ah om.
Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. 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.
His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did 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.
Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar 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.
From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’s blessing was on 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.
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
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.
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on 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 to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into 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.
No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything 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.
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to 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.
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
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.
She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 Tedae a kut dongah a himbaia caehtak pa tih poeng laa rhaelrham vaengah te boeinuloh a hmu.
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
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.
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to 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.
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 Te phoeiah a boei loh a ima paan duela a kah himbaite amah taengaha khoem.
She laid up his garment by her, until his master 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.
She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to 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 as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
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.
When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” 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.
Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
21 Tedae BOEIPA loh Josepha om puei tih sitlohnaha tueng sak dongah thong im kah mangpa mikhmuh ah anihte mikdaithenlaa khueh.
But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor 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.
The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for 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 didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.
