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 Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither.

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 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.

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 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 favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed 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.

And it came to pass from the time that he appointed 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 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 left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and, having him, he knew not aught save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was of beautiful form, and fair to look upon.

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 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 unto his master's wife: 'Behold, my master, having me, knoweth not what is in the house, and he hath put all that he hath 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.

he is not greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art 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 on a certain day, when he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there 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.

that 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 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 garment in her hand, and was fled 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 unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying: 'See, he hath brought in a 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 himbai a 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 by me, and fled, and got him out.'

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

And 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.

And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying: 'The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto 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 it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.'

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 the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying: 'After this manner did thy servant to me'; that 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.

And 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 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.

But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto 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.

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 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 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.
