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.

Dinala si Jose pababa sa Ehipto. Binili siya ni Potipar, na isang opisyal at kapitan ng mga bantay ni Paraon at isang taga-Ehipto, mula sa mga Ismaelita, na nagdala sa kanya doon.

2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.

Si Yahweh ay kasama ni Jose at siya'y naging mayamang tao. Nanirahan siya sa bahay ng kanyang amo na taga-Ehipto.

3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.

Nakita ng kanyang amo na kasama niya si Yahweh at lahat ng ginawa niya ay pinasagana ni Yahweh.

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.

Nakitaan si Jose ng pabor sa kanyang paningin. Pinaglingkuran niya si Potipar. Ginawa ni Potipar na tagapangasiwa si Jose ng kanyang bahay, at lahat ng nasa kanya, nilagay niya lahat sa ilalim ng kanyang pangangalaga.

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.

Dumating ang panahon na ginawa siyang tagapangasiwa ng kanyang bahay at sa lahat ng kanyang pagmamay-ari, kaya pinagpala ni Yahweh ang buong bahay ng taga-Ehipto dahil kay Jose. Ang pagpapala ni Yahweh ay nasa lahat ng bagay na pagmamay-ari ni Potipar sa kanyang bahay at sa kanyang bukid.

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.

Inilagay ni Potipar ang lahat ng nasa kanya sa ilalim ng pangangalaga ni Jose. Hindi na niya kailangan mag-isip tungkol sa anumang bagay maliban sa pagkain na kinakain niya. Ngayon si Jose ay matipuno at kaakit-akit.

7 And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.

Dumating ang panahon na pinagnanasaan si Jose ng asawa ng kanyang amo. Sinabi niya, “Sumiping ka sa akin”.

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;

Ngunit tinanggihan niya ito at sabay sabi sa asawa ng kanyang amo, “Tingnan mo, ang amo ko ay di-nagbigay pansin sa kung ano ang pinaggagawa ko dito sa bahay, at nilagay niya lahat ng kanyang pag-aari sa ilalim ng aking pangangalaga.

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?

Walang mas nakakataas sa pamamahay na ito maliban sa akin. Wala siyang anumang pinagkait sa akin maliban sa iyo, dahil ikaw ang asawa niya. Paano ko kaya magagawa itong malaking kasamaan at magkakasala laban sa Diyos?”

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.

Kinausap niya si Jose sa bawat araw, ngunit tumanggi pa rin siya na sipingan siya o para makasama siya.

11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.

Dumating ang isang araw na pumunta siya sa bahay para gawin ang kanyang gawain. Walang sinuman sa mga lalaki sa bahay ang naroon sa bahay.

12 And pulling at his coat, she said, Come to my bed; but slipping out of his coat, he went running away.

Siya ay hinablot niya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang damit at sinabi, “Sipingan mo ako.” Naiwanan niya ang kanyang damit sa kanyang kamay, lumayo, at nagpunta sa labas.

13 And when she saw that he had got away, letting her keep his coat,

Dumating ang panahon, nang makita niya na naiwanan ni Jose ang kanyang damit sa kanyang kamay at lumayo palabas,

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;

tinawag niya ang mga lalaki sa kanyang bahay at sinabi sa kanila, “Tingnan ninyo, nagdala si Potipar ng isang Hebreo para hamakin tayo. Pinuntahan niya ako para sipingan ako, at ako ay sumigaw.

15 And hearing it he went running out without his coat.

Dumating ang panahon nang marinig niya akong sumigaw, naiwan niya ang kanyang damit sa akin, lumayo, at pumunta sa labas.”

16 And she kept his coat by her, till his master came back.

Tinabi niya ang damit hanggang sa makauwi ang kanyang amo sa bahay.

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;

Sinabi niya sa kanya ang paliwanag na ito, “Ang lingkod na Hebreo na dinala mo sa amin ay nagpunta sa akin para hamakin ako.

18 And when I gave a loud cry he went running out without his coat.

Nang sumigaw ako, iniwan niya ang kanyang damit sa akin at lumayo palabas.”

19 And hearing his wife's account of what his servant had done, he became very angry.

Dumating ang panahon, nang marinig ng kanyang amo ang pagpapaliwanag ng kanyang asawa sa kanya, “Ito ang ginawa ng iyong lingkod sa akin,” siya ay naging labis na galit.

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.

Kinuha si Jose ng kanyang amo at siya ay nilagay sa bilangguan, ang lugar na kung saan nakakulong ang mga bilanggo ng hari. Siya ay naroon sa bilangguan.

21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and was good to him, and made the keeper of the prison his friend.

Ngunit si Yahweh ay kasama ni Jose at siya ay nagpakita katapatan sa tipan sa kanya. Siya ay binigyan niya ng kagandahang-loob sa paningin ng bantay ng kulungan.

22 And the keeper of the prison put all the prisoners under Joseph's control, and he was responsible for whatever was done there.

Binigay ng bantay ng kulangan sa kamay ni Jose ang pamamahala sa lahat ng bilanggo sa kulungan. Kahit anong gawin nila roon, si Jose ang namamahala.

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.

Wala ng inaalalang anuman ang bantay ng kulungan na nasa kamay ni Jose, dahil si Yahweh ay kasama niya. Kahit anong gawin niya, pinasagana siya ni Yahweh.
