Genesis 39
1 Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
A i kawea iho a Hohepa ki Ihipa; na ka hokona ia e Potiwhara, he tangata nui na Parao, he rangatira no nga kaitiaki, he Ihipiana, i roto i nga ringa o nga Ihimaeri, nana nei ia i kawe ki reira.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
Na i a Hohepa a Ihowa, a he tangata whai rawa ia; i noho ano ia i roto i te whare o tona ariki, o te Ihipiana.
3 When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
A i kite tona ariki kei a ia a Ihowa, pono tonu hoki i a Ihowa nga mahi katoa a tona ringa.
4 Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.
Na ka manakohia a Hohepa e ia, ka mahi ia ki a ia: a ka waiho ia hei kaitirotiro mo tona whare, a ka homai e ia ana mea katoa ki tona ringa.
5 From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.
A, i a ia ka waiho nei hei kaitirotiro mo tona whare, mo ana mea katoa, na ka manaakitia e Ihowa te whare o te Ihipiana he whakaaro ki a Hohepa; i runga ano i ana mea katoa te manaaki a Ihowa, i te whare, i te mara.
6 So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
I waiho hoki e ia i te ringa a Hohepa ana mea katoa; kihai hoki i mohiotia e ia tetahi o ana mea, heoi ano ko te taro i kai ai ia. A he tangata ataahua a Hohepa, he pai hoki ia ki te titiro atu.
7 and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
A, i muri i enei mea, ka anga nga kanohi o te wahine a tona ariki ki a Hohepa; a ka mea ia, Takoto taua.
8 But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.
A ka whakakahore ia, ka mea hoki ki te wahine a tona ariki, Na, e kore toku ariki e mohio ko te aha kei ahau i roto i te whare, kua homai nei hoki e ia ana mea katoa ki toku ringa;
9 No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”
Kahore tetahi i roto i tenei whare e nui ake i ahau; kahore ano hoki i kaiponuhia e ia tetahi mea ki ahau, ko koe anake, no te mea ko tana wahine koe: na, me pehea e mahi ai ahau i tenei kino nui, e hara ai ki te Atua?
10 Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
Heoi korero noa ia ki a Hohepa i tenei ra, i tenei ra, a kihai ia rongo ki a ia, kia takoto tahi raua, kia noho tahi raua
11 One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
Na i taua wa ka haere a Hohepa ki te whare ki te mahi i tana mahi; a kahore tetahi o nga tangata o te whare i reira i roto i te whare.
12 She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
Na ka hopukia ia e ia, ara tona kakahu, ka mea, Takoto taua: na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki tona ringa, a rere ana, puta ana ki waho.
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
A, no tona kitenga kua whakarerea e ia tona kakahu i roto i tona ringa, a kua rere ki waho,
14 she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.
Na ka karanga ia ki nga tangata o tona whare, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Titiro, kua kawea mai e ia tetahi Hiperu hei hangarau i a tatou; i haere mai ia ki ahau kia takoto maua, a he rahi toku reo ki te hamama:
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
A, ka rongo ia he rahi toku reo ki te hamama, na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki ahau, a rere ana, puta ana ki waho.
16 So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
Na ka waiho e ia tona kakahu ki tona taha, kia hoki mai ra ano tona ariki ki tona whare.
17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
A ka korero ia ki a ia, ko aua kupu ano, ka mea, I haere mai ki ahau taua pononga Hiperu, i kawea mai nei e koe ki a matou, ki te hangarau i ahau:
18 but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
A, ka rahi toku reo ki te hamama, na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki ahau, a rere ana ki waho.
19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
A, ka rongo tona ariki i nga kupu a tana wahine i korero ai ia ki a ia, i mea ai, Ko nga mea enei i mea ai tau pononga ki ahau; na ka mura tona riri.
20 So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,
A ka mau te ariki o Hohepa ki a ia, a maka ana ia ki te whare herehere, ki te wahi i herea ai nga herehere a te kingi: a noho ana ia i reira, i te whare herehere.
21 the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
Otiia i a Hohepa a Ihowa, ka puta ano tona aroha ki a ia, a ka hoatu ki a ia kia manakohia ia e te rangatira o te whare herehere.
22 And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
A i tukua e te rangatira o te whare herehere ki te ringaringa o Hohepa nga herehere katoa i roto i te whare herehere: ko ia ano te kaimahi o nga mea katoa i meatia e ratou i reira.
23 The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
Kihai te rangatira o te whare herehere i titiro ki tetahi o nga mea i tona ringa; no te mea i a ia a Ihowa, i mea ano a Ihowa kia pono tana i mea ai.
