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 Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
2 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kod Josef kendo nogwedhe, kendo nodak e od ruodhe ma ja-Misri.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master 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 saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 nobedo mamor gi Josef kendo Josef notiyone, Potifa nokete jarit ode kod mwandu duto mane en-go.
And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
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 from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the 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 left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful 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 on 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 refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
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?”
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 To nodhi nyime kowachone Josef wechego odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ, to notamore riwore kode kata bedo bute.
And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] 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.
that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
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.
Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
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 garment in her hand and had fled 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 to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to 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 it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.
16 Dhakono nokano lawno nyaka chwore noduogo dala.
And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
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 bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
18 To ka ne agoyo uwi mondo okonya, noweya gi nangane, kendo oringo owuok oko.”
and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
19 Ka ruodhe nowinjo gima chiege owachone kuom gima jatichne osetimone, iye nowangʼ matek.
And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
20 Ruodh Josef nomako Josef mokete e od twech, kamane ikanoe joma otwe mag ruoth. To kane Josef ni e od twech,
And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
21 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode; notimone kech kendo nomiyo oyudo ngʼwono e nyim jorit joma ne otwe.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
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 of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
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.
The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
