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.
Leleꞌ naa, atahori Ismael ra ro Yusuf Masir neu. Sia naa, hambu malangga esa, nara na Potifar. Eni, malangga mia basa soldꞌadꞌu mana manea sia mane Masir ume panggat na. Potifar hasa nala Yusuf mia mana danggan ra, fo dadꞌi ate sia ume na. Sia naa, LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf, de ue-tatao nara basa se dadꞌi no maloleꞌ.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3 When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
Malangga na nita e tao ues malole na seli, ma nahine tebꞌe nae LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf.
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.
Naa de malangga na hii ma namahere e. De ana soꞌu e dadꞌi mandor sia umen. Ana fee ne tao mataꞌ neu umen ma basa hata-heton.
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.
Huu Yusuf leo sia naa, de Lamatualain o fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu malangga, atahori Masir naa. Ume isi nara, hata-heto na, osi na, no ue-tatao na o dadꞌi maloleꞌ.
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,
Huu Potifar mete Yusuf tao mataꞌ neu basa ue-tataos ra no maloleꞌ, naa de ana nda afiꞌ duꞌa saa saꞌ boe, nahineꞌ a naaꞌ a. Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf ia meulau na seli.
7 and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
Ana nda feꞌe leo dooꞌ sia naa sa te, Potifar sao na nau no e. Boe ma ana kokoe Yusuf fo nae sungguꞌ no e.
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.
Te Yusuf nda nau sa. De nataa nae, “Afiꞌ taꞌo naa, inaꞌ! Te malangga ngga Potifar fee au koasa fo tao mataꞌ neu basa ue-tataos ra.
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?”
Sia ume ia, nda hambu atahori sa toꞌu koasa lenaꞌ au sa. Malangga fee au koasa basa ume isiꞌ a, akaꞌ a inaꞌ fo hokoꞌ. Taꞌo bee de au tao deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ naa. Naa o au labꞌan Lamatualain hihiin.”
10 Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
Te mae onaꞌ naa o, tungga fai, malangga sao na akaꞌ kokoe nakandooꞌ a. Te Yusuf nda tao afiꞌ neu e sa.
11 One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
Lao esa ma, Yusuf ume rala neu, de nae mete ues nara. Faiꞌ naa, atahori nese ume.
12 She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
Boe ma malangga sao na nema lea Yusuf badꞌu na, de nae, “Uma leo! Ia naa helaꞌ a hita ruꞌa nggita ena. Uma leo fo teu sungguꞌ.” Te Yusuf nda nau sa. De ana nalelea, sambe badꞌu na lufa hendiꞌ e. Boe ma ana nela dea neu. Te inaꞌ naa feꞌe toꞌu nahereꞌ badꞌu a.
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
Ana nita Yusuf nela hela badꞌu na ma,
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.
ana noꞌe atahori mana tao ues nara, de nafadꞌe nae, “We! Ima mita dei. Faꞌ ra tou Ibrani naa, masoꞌ au kama ngga. Ana nae parkosa au, te au nggasi uhereꞌ. Mete sie, ana hela badꞌu na, de nela dea neu. Au sao ngga nendi atahori ia nda maloleꞌ sa de tao naꞌamamaeꞌ a hita!”
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
Boe ma ana toꞌu badꞌu naa losa sao na baliꞌ.
17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
Sao na baliꞌ ma, ana dui nae, “Aꞌa e! Atahori Ibrani fo aꞌa noꞌ a, faꞌ ra ana mia au kama ngga rala, nae parkosa au.
18 but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
Te au randu uhereꞌ oꞌe atahori ra. De ana nela, lao hela badꞌu na.”
19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
Rena sao na dui taꞌo naa, boe ma Potifar namanasa seli.
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,
Ana denu reu toꞌu Yusuf, de tao e nisiꞌ maneꞌ a bui na rala.
21 the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
Te LAMATUALAIN nda liliiꞌ Yusuf sa. De Ana tulun e, losa malangga bui a o hii Yusuf,
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.
ma namahere e boe. De ana fee ne tao mataꞌ neu basa atahori bui ra, ma basa ue-tataos sia naa ra.
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.
Huu naa, malangga nda tao mataꞌ neu saa-saa sia bui rala sa ena. LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf nakandooꞌ a, de basa ue-tataos ra dadꞌi no maloleꞌ.
