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 down to Egypt: and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.
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 Joseph, and he was a prosperous man: and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 A bawipa ni BAWIPA teh ahni koe a o, a hnosak tangkuem dawk a lamcawn tie hah a panue.
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 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 grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand.
5 Hahoi, imkaringkung lah a ta hnukkhu, BAWIPA ni Joseph pawlawk hoi Izip imthungkhu hah yawhawi a poe.
And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made 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 on all that he had in the house, and in the field.
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.
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he ate; and Joseph was [a] goodly [person], and well favored.
7 Hathnukkhu, a bawipa e yu ni Joseph hah a noe teh, na ipkhai leih ti hoi pou a pasawt.
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 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 refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand:
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.
[There is] none greater in his 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 Hahoi, hnin touh hnukkhu hnin touh, Joseph hah a pasawt nakunghai a ikhai hane teh ngai pouh hoeh.
And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not to her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.
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.
And it came to pass, about this time, that [Joseph] went into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of the house there within.
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 caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and went out.
13 Hahoi teh, a angki a kut dawk pak a rading teh a yawng takhai tie a panue toteh,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled forth,
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.
That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us: he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15 Hahoi, ka lawk hoi thayung hoi ka hram toteh, kama koe a angki pak a rading teh a yawng takhai telah ati.
And it came to pass, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and went out.
16 A bawipa a tho hoehroukrak a hnicu teh ama koevah pou a hruek.
And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came 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 she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought to us, came in to me to mock me.
18 Hahoi, lawk hoi tha hoi ka hram tahma vah, a khohna a yawng takhai telah ati.
And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled.
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.
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20 Hottelah a bawipa ni Joseph a ceikhai teh thongim siangpahrang ni tami khik katek hoi ouk tanae thongim thung a paung awh.
And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound: and he was there in the prison.
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 showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the 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.
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatever they did there, was done by 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.
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.
