Suencuek 39
1 Joseph te Egypt la a suntlak puei ngawn dae, anih aka suntlak puei Ishmael kut lamkah te Egypt hlang, imtawt mangpa, Pharaoh imkhoem, Potiphar loh pahoi a 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 BOEIPA te Joseph taengah a om dongah hlang thaihtak la coeng tih a boei Egypt hoel kah im ah om.
The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 A boei long khaw, BOEIPA te Joseph taengah tih a saii boeih te a kut dongah BOEIPA loh a thaihtak sak tila a hmuh.
His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 Joseph te a mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la a hmuh tih a taengah thotat. Te vaengah Potiphar loh a im te Joseph pum dongah a hlah pah. Te phoeiah a koe boeih te a kut ah a tloeng pah.
Joseph found favour 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 te a hlah pah vaeng lamloh om tih, Joseph kong ah Egypt cako te BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek. BOEIPA kah yoethennah te 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, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6 A koe boeih te Joseph kut ah a 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 yuu loh 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 te a aal tih, “Ka boeipa loh im kah aka om te kai taengah ngaiyak mueh la a khuehtawn boeih te ka kut ah a 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 ham a 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 Joseph te a himbai ah a tuuk tih, “Kai taengah yalh mai,” a ti nah. Tedae Joseph loh a himbai te anih kut ah a 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 himbai a caehtak pa tih poeng la a rhaelrham vaengah te boeinu loh a hmu.
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 Te dongah a im kah tongpa rhoek te a khue tih, “So uh lah, mamih aka lawn la Hebrew hlang te 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 himbai a 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 im a paan duela a kah himbai te amah taengah a khoem.
She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 A taengah hekah olka bangla a thui pah tih, “Kai aka lawn ham ning taengah na 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 himbai te kai taengah a 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 ti nah tih a taengah a thui a yuu kah olka te a boei loh 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 Joseph te a boei loh a khuen tih manghai loh a khoh thongtla rhoek kah a hmuen, thong im ah a 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 Joseph a om puei tih sitlohnah a tueng sak dongah thong im kah mangpa mikhmuh ah anih te mikdaithen la a khueh.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, 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 ah a paek tih saii ham koi 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 BOEIPA loh a thaihtak sak. Te dongah thong im mangpa a om pawt akhaw a kut hmuikah tah pakhat hilah boeih a sawt.
The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
