Kamtawngnae 39
1 Joseph teh Ishmael taminaw koe Izip ram a thokhai awh teh, Izip siangpahrang Faro kut rahim imkaringkung lah kaawm e Potiphar ni a ran.
And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.
2 BAWIPA teh Joseph koe ao teh, ahni teh a lam ka cawn e tami lah ao teh Izip tami a bawipa im vah ao.
And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,
3 A bawipa ni BAWIPA teh ahni koe a o, a hnosak tangkuem dawk a lamcawn tie hah a panue.
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 Joseph teh a bawipa e a lungyouk lah thaw ouk a tawk. A bawipa ni a imkaringkung kacue lah a ta teh, a tawn e hnonaw pueng ahnie kâtawnnae rahim koung a ta pouh.
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:
5 Hahoi, imkaringkung lah a ta hnukkhu, BAWIPA ni Joseph pawlawk hoi Izip imthungkhu hah yawhawi a poe.
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
6 A tawn e pueng hah Joseph kut dawk be a ta pouh teh, a ca e vaiyei hloilah teh ahni koe kaawm e hnonaw pueng hah be a poe. Joseph teh a tungtang kahawi e lah ao teh a mei hai a hawi.
Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
7 Hathnukkhu, a bawipa e yu ni Joseph hah a noe teh, na ipkhai leih ti hoi pou a pasawt.
And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
8 Hatei ngai pouh hoeh. A bawipa e yu koevah, khenhaw! ka bawipa ni hete im dawkvah, bang hno maw kaawm tie panuek hoeh, a tawn e naw pueng ka kut dawk koung a ta.
But he, in no wise consenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house:
9 Hete im dawk kai hlak ka len e apihai awm hoeh. A yu na tho patetlah nang hloilah kai hane a pasoung hoeh e banghai awm hoeh. Hatdawkvah, hethloilah kalen e thoenae hoi yonnae heh Cathut taranlahoi bangtelamaw khuet ka sak han vaw, telah ati.
Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife: how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God?
10 Hahoi, hnin touh hnukkhu hnin touh, Joseph hah a pasawt nakunghai a ikhai hane teh ngai pouh hoeh.
With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
11 Hatei, a hnin hnin touh teh, Joseph imthungkhu thaw tawk hanelah a kâen teh, hatnae tueng dawk imthungkhu tami buet touh hai la awm hoeh.
Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
12 Hahoi teh, napui ni na ipkhai leih telah a angki dawk a kuet pouh teh, a kut dawk angki pak rading teh alawilah a yawng takhai.
And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.
13 Hahoi teh, a angki a kut dawk pak a rading teh a yawng takhai tie a panue toteh,
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
14 a im kaawmnaw hah a kaw teh, khenhaw! kai na kaya sak hanelah hete Hebru tami ni kai na yonkhai hanelah imthungkhu na kâen sin teh thayung hoi ka hram pouh.
She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,
15 Hahoi, ka lawk hoi thayung hoi ka hram toteh, kama koe a angki pak a rading teh a yawng takhai telah ati.
And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
16 A bawipa a tho hoehroukrak a hnicu teh ama koevah pou a hruek.
For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
17 Hahoi teh a vâ koe telah a dei pouh. Hete Hebru tami san kai koe na thokhai e heh, yeiraipo sak hanelah hoi kai koe na kâen sin.
And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
18 Hahoi, lawk hoi tha hoi ka hram tahma vah, a khohna a yawng takhai telah ati.
And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
19 Hahoi, a bawipa koe na san ni hettelah na sak tie a yu ni a dei e lawk hah a thai toteh a lungkhuek.
His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.
20 Hottelah a bawipa ni Joseph a ceikhai teh thongim siangpahrang ni tami khik katek hoi ouk tanae thongim thung a paung awh.
And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
21 Hateiteh, BAWIPA teh Joseph koe ao teh, a lathueng vah lungmanae a tawn teh thongim ka ring e hmalah minhmai kahawi a hmu sak.
But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
22 Hahoi teh, thongim karingkung ni thongkabawtnaw pueng hah Joseph kut dawk koung a ta teh, haw e sak e naw teh Joseph e tawk sak e lah koung a coung.
Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
23 BAWIPA teh ahni koe ao teh, a lamcawn sak dawkvah, thongim karingkung ni Joseph e kâtawnnae rahim kaawmnaw pueng hah banghai khen awh hoeh toe.
Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
