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.
Wɔde Yosef kɔɔ Misraim. Misraimni Potifar a na ɔyɛ Misraimhene Farao dabehene a na otua asraafodɔm ano no na ɔtɔɔ Yosef fii Ismaelfo aguadifo no nsam.
2 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kod Josef kendo nogwedhe, kendo nodak e od ruodhe ma ja-Misri.
Na Awurade ka Yosef ho nti, nʼabrabɔ sii no yiye. Ɔtenaa ne wura Misraimni no fi.
3 Kane ruodhe oneno ni Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode kendo ni Jehova Nyasaye nogwedho gik moko duto ma otimo,
Yosef wura no huu sɛ Awurade ka ne ho, na nea na ɔyɛ biara no, Awurade hyiraa so maa no, na

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.
Bere a Potifar de Yosef sii ne fifo so panyin, de nea ɔwɔ nyinaa hyɛɛ ne nsa no, Awurade hyiraa Misraimni Potifar fie so, esiane Yosef nti. Awurade hyiraa nʼagyapade a ɛwɔ fi ne ne mfuw nyinaa so.
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.
Enti ɔde nʼagyapade nyinaa hyɛɛ Yosef nsa. Esiane sɛ Potifar de nʼagyapade ne nʼadwumade nyinaa hyɛɛ Yosef nsa nti, wannwene biribiara ho sɛ aduan a obedi nko ara. Na Yosef yɛ aberante a ɔwɔ nnyinaso, na ne ho nso yɛ fɛ yiye.
7 Kendo bangʼ kinde manok, chi ruodh Josef norange kagombe kendo nowachone niya, “Bi e kitanda ka mondo iriwri koda.”
Ankyɛ ahe biara na Yosef wura Potifar yere tuu nʼani sii ne so, ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Bra, na wo ne me mmɛda!”
8 To Josef nodagi mowachone niya, “Ruodha ongʼeyo gimoro amora manie odni, gimoro amora ma en-go oseketo e lweta.
Nanso Yosef ampene so, ka kyerɛɛ ne wura yere no se, “Esiane sɛ fie ha biribiara hyɛ me nsa nti, me wura nnwen fie ha biribiara ho. Ɔde nʼagyapade nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa.
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?”
Obiara nni tumi nsen me wɔ fie ha. Me wura mfa biribiara nkame me wɔ fie ha sɛ wo nko ara, efisɛ woyɛ ne yere. Onyame mpa ngu sɛ mɛyɛ ade a ɛte saa. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi ayɛ amumɔyɛde a ɛte sɛɛ! Ɛbɛyɛ bɔne kɛse atia Onyankopɔn.”
10 To nodhi nyime kowachone Josef wechego odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ, to notamore riwore kode kata bedo bute.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ da biara na Potifar yere no de saa asɛm yi hiahia Yosef ho de, nanso Yosef antwiw ammɛn no mpo, na akowie sɛ ɔne no bɛda.
11 Chiengʼ moro achiel Josef nodhi e od ruodhe mondo otim tije kaka pile kendo ne onge jatich moro amora e ot.
Da koro bi, Yosef kɔɔ fie hɔ sɛ ɔrekɔyɛ nʼadwuma. Oduu hɔ no, na asomfo no mu biara nni hɔ.
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.
Potifar yere no soo Yosef atade mu kyeree no, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bra na wo ne me mmɛda!” Nanso Yosef yii nʼatade no guu ne so, guan fii fie hɔ.
13 Kane dhakono oneno ni Josef oweyo lawe e lwete kendo oringo owuok oko mar ot,
Potifar yere no huu sɛ Yosef agyaw nʼatade wɔ ne nsam aguan afi fie hɔ no,
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.
ɔfrɛɛ ne fifo, de nteɛteɛmu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ! Me kunu akɔfa Hebrini bi aba fie ha sɛ ommegu yɛn anim ase. Ɔbaa ha sɛ ɔrebɛto me mmonnaa na meteɛteɛɛ mu.
15 Kane owinjo ka agoyo uwi matek mondo okonya, noringo moweyo lawe sa ma noringo owuok oko mar ot.”
Ɔtee sɛ mereteɛteɛ mu no, oyii nʼatade guu me so, guan fii fie ha.”
16 Dhakono nokano lawno nyaka chwore noduogo dala.
Potifar yere no de Yosef atade a oyi guu ne so no siei, kosii sɛ ne kunu bae.
17 Eka nowacho ne chwore wachni niya, “Jatich ma ja-Hibrania manyocha ikelonwa nobiro ira mondo okuod wiya.
Ɔbea no bɔɔ ne kunu amanneɛ se, “Hebrini akoa no a wokɔtɔɔ no brɛɛ yɛn no baa me nkyɛn sɛ anka ɔrebɛto me mmonnaa.

Meteɛteɛ mu no na oguan fii fie ha, gyaw nʼatade.”
19 Ka ruodhe nowinjo gima chiege owachone kuom gima jatichne osetimone, iye nowangʼ matek.
Bere a Yosef wura Potifar tee asɛm a ne yere ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔkwan a wʼakoa no de me faa so ni” no, ne bo fuw yiye.
20 Ruodh Josef nomako Josef mokete e od twech, kamane ikanoe joma otwe mag ruoth. To kane Josef ni e od twech,
Yosef wura Potifar tee asɛm no no, ɔkyeree Yosef kɔtoo afiase, faako a ɔhene nneduafo gu no. Bere a Yosef da afiase hɔ no,
21 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode; notimone kech kendo nomiyo oyudo ngʼwono e nyim jorit joma ne otwe.
na Awurade ka ne ho. Awurade yɛɛ no adɔe ma ɛno nti, afiase sohwɛfo panyin no pɛɛ nʼasɛm yiye.
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.
Ɛyɛɛ saa maa afiase sohwɛfo panyin no de Yosef sii nneduafo no nyinaa so panyin, a na biribiara a wɔyɛ wɔ afiase hɔ no hyɛ ne nsa.
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.
Esiane sɛ na Awurade ka Yosef ho no nti, na afiase sohwɛfo panyin no nhaw ne ho nyɛ adwuma. Efisɛ biribiara a Yosef bɛyɛ no, Awurade hyira so ma esi yiye.
