Chakruok 39
1 Koro Josef noseter Misri. Potifa ma ja-Misri mane en achiel kuom jatend Farao, kendo jaduongʼ od ruoth nongʼiewe kuom jo-Ishmael mane okele kanyo.
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 thither.
2 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kod Josef kendo nogwedhe, kendo nodak e od ruodhe ma ja-Misri.
And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
3 Kane ruodhe oneno ni Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode kendo ni Jehova Nyasaye nogwedho gik moko duto ma otimo,
And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatsoever he happens to do.
4 nobedo mamor gi Josef kendo Josef notiyone, Potifa nokete jarit ode kod mwandu duto mane en-go.
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 Chakre ndalo mane okete jarit ode kendo jarit gik moko duto ma en-go, Jehova Nyasaye nogwedho gik moko duto mane ni e od ja-Misri nikech Josef. Jehova Nyasaye nogwedho gimoro amora mane Potifa nigo e ot kod e puodho.
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 Omiyo noweyo gik moko duto mane en-go e lwet Josef kaka jarit; makoro Potifa ne ok odewo rango gimoro amora makmana chiemo mane ochamo. Josef ne nigi chia kendo jaber.
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 Kendo bangʼ kinde manok, chi ruodh Josef norange kagombe kendo nowachone niya, “Bi e kitanda ka mondo iriwri koda.”
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
8 To Josef nodagi mowachone niya, “Ruodha ongʼeyo gimoro amora manie odni, gimoro amora ma en-go oseketo e lweta.
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 Onge ngʼama nigi teko e odni moloya. Ruodha ok osetama gimoro amora manie odni makmana in, nikech in chiege. Koro ere kaka anyalo timo tim richo kendo makwero ma Nyasaye odagi?”
and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
10 To nodhi nyime kowachone Josef wechego odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ, to notamore riwore kode kata bedo bute.
And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
11 Chiengʼ moro achiel Josef nodhi e od ruodhe mondo otim tije kaka pile kendo ne onge jatich moro amora e ot.
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 Chi Potifa ne omake gilawe kendo owachone niya, “Bi mondo ibed koda e achiel!” To Josef noringo mowuok oko mar odno kendo noweyo lawe e lwet chi Potifa.
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 Kane dhakono oneno ni Josef oweyo lawe e lwete kendo oringo owuok oko mar ot,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
14 noluongo jotichge mag ot mowachonegi niya, “Neuru, ja-Hibraniani osekelnwa mondo okuod wiwa! Nodonjo ira ka mondo oriwre koda, to ne agoyo uwi matek.
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 Kane owinjo ka agoyo uwi matek mondo okonya, noringo moweyo lawe sa ma noringo owuok oko mar ot.”
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 Dhakono nokano lawno nyaka chwore noduogo dala.
So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
17 Eka nowacho ne chwore wachni niya, “Jatich ma ja-Hibrania manyocha ikelonwa nobiro ira mondo okuod wiya.
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou broughtest in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with thee.
18 To ka ne agoyo uwi mondo okonya, noweya gi nangane, kendo oringo owuok oko.”
And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
19 Ka ruodhe nowinjo gima chiege owachone kuom gima jatichne osetimone, iye nowangʼ matek.
And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did thy servant to me, that he was very angry.
20 Ruodh Josef nomako Josef mokete e od twech, kamane ikanoe joma otwe mag ruoth. To kane Josef ni e od twech,
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 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode; notimone kech kendo nomiyo oyudo ngʼwono e nyim jorit joma ne otwe.
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 Kuom mano jaduongʼ mar od twech noketo Josef jatend joma otwe duto e od twech kendo Josef ema norito gik moko duto mane itimo kanyo.
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 whatsoever they do there, he did them.
23 Jarit joma ni e od twech ne ok odewo rango gimoro amora mane oseketo e lwet Josef, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kod Josef kendo nogwedhe e gimoro amora mane otimo.
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.
