Genesis 39
1 Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
Joseph te Egypt la a suntlak puei ngawn dae, anih aka suntlak puei Ishmael kut lamkah te Egypt hlang, imtawt mangpa, Pharaoh imkhoem, Potiphar loh pahoi a lai.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Tedae BOEIPA te Joseph taengah a om dongah hlang thaihtak la coeng tih a boei Egypt hoel kah im ah om.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.
A boei long khaw, BOEIPA te Joseph taengah tih a saii boeih te a kut dongah BOEIPA loh a thaihtak sak tila a hmuh.
4 And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.
Joseph te a mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la a hmuh tih a taengah thotat. Te vaengah Potiphar loh a im te Joseph pum dongah a hlah pah. Te phoeiah a koe boeih te a kut ah a tloeng pah.
5 And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.
Tedae a im neh a koe boeih te a hlah pah vaeng lamloh om tih, Joseph kong ah Egypt cako te BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek. BOEIPA kah yoethennah te a koe neh im, lo boeih dongla cet.
6 And he gave Joseph control of all his property, keeping no account of anything, but only the food which was put before him. Now Joseph was very beautiful in form and face.
A koe boeih te Joseph kut ah a hnoo pah van neh Egypt hoel loh buh caak bueng te a ming tih ba khaw amah loh ming pawh. Joseph ngawn tah a suisak sakthen tih mueimae sakthen la om.
7 And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.
Tedae hekah olka he a om phoeiah a boei kah a yuu loh a dan vaengah Joseph te a mik neh a nai tih, “Kai taengah yalh mai,” a ti nah.
8 But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;
Tedae a boei yuu te a aal tih, “Ka boeipa loh im kah aka om te kai taengah ngaiyak mueh la a khuehtawn boeih te ka kut ah a tloeng coeng.
9 So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?
Hekah im ah kai lakah aka len a om moenih. Tedae nang tah a yuu la na om dongah nang mueh atah ba khaw kai ham a hloh moenih. Te dongah metlam lae boethae aka len he ka saii vetih Pathen taengah ka tholh sui dae,” a ti nah.
10 And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.
Joseph taengah, khohnin khohnin a thui pah van dae a taengah yalh ham neh om hmaih ham te Joseph lohngaiyaknah pawh.
11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.
Tedae hnin at ah Joseph te amah kah bi saii ham im khuila a caeh van hatah, tekah im ah im om hlang te khat khaw om pawh.
12 And pulling at his coat, she said, Come to my bed; but slipping out of his coat, he went running away.
Te dongah Potiphar yuu loh Joseph te a himbai ah a tuuk tih, “Kai taengah yalh mai,” a ti nah. Tedae Joseph loh a himbai te anih kut ah a caehtak phoeiah rhaelrham tih poeng la cet.
13 And when she saw that he had got away, letting her keep his coat,
Tedae a kut dongah a himbai a caehtak pa tih poeng la a rhaelrham vaengah te boeinu loh a hmu.
14 She sent for the men of her house and said to them, See, he has let a Hebrew come here and make sport of us; he came to my bed, and I gave a loud cry;
Te dongah a im kah tongpa rhoek te a khue tih, “So uh lah, mamih aka lawn la Hebrew hlang te mamih taengla han khuen. Kai taengah yalh ham kamah taengla m'paan dongah ol ue neh ka pang.
15 And hearing it he went running out without his coat.
Tedae ka ol ka huel tih ka pang te a yaak hatah kai taegah a himbai a caehtak phoeiah rhaelrham tih poeng la cet,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
16 And she kept his coat by her, till his master came back.
Te phoeiah a boei loh a im a paan duela a kah himbai te amah taengah a khoem.
17 Then she gave him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you have taken into our house came in to make sport of me;
A taengah hekah olka bangla a thui pah tih, “Kai aka lawn ham ning taengah na det Hebrew sal loh ka taengah m'paan.
18 And when I gave a loud cry he went running out without his coat.
Te dongah ka ol ka huel tih ka pang hatah a himbai te kai taengah a hnoo tih poeng la rhaelrham,” a ti nah.
19 And hearing his wife's account of what his servant had done, he became very angry.
“Na sal loh kai hekah hno he a saii,” a ti nah tih a taengah a thui a yuu kah olka te a boei loh a yaak vaengah ngawn tah a thintoek ah pahoi sai.
20 And Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept in chains, and he was there in the prison-house.
Te dongah Joseph te a boei loh a khuen tih manghai loh a khoh thongtla rhoek kah a hmuen, thong im ah a khueh dongah thong im ah pahoi om.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and was good to him, and made the keeper of the prison his friend.
Tedae BOEIPA loh Joseph a om puei tih sitlohnah a tueng sak dongah thong im kah mangpa mikhmuh ah anih te mikdaithen la a khueh.
22 And the keeper of the prison put all the prisoners under Joseph's control, and he was responsible for whatever was done there.
Te dongah thong im kah mangpa loh thong im kah thongtla boeih te Joseph kut ah a paek tih saii ham koi boeih te aka saii la Joseph khaw pahoi om.
23 And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.
BOEIPA tah anih taengah om tih a saii te BOEIPA loh a thaihtak sak. Te dongah thong im mangpa a om pawt akhaw a kut hmuikah tah pakhat hilah boeih a sawt.
