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.

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 Tedae BOEIPA te Joseph taengah a 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 with his lord 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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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 Tedae a kut dongah a himbai a caehtak pa tih poeng la a rhaelrham vaengah te boeinu loh a hmu.

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

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.

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 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.

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 Te phoeiah a boei loh a im a paan duela a kah himbai te amah taengah a khoem.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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.
