< Genesis 39 >

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down thither.
Nígbà tí wọ́n mú Josẹfu dé Ejibiti, Potifari, ará Ejibiti tí i ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìjòyè Farao. Òun ni olórí àwọn ọmọ-ogun Farao. Ó ra Josẹfu lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Iṣmaeli tí wọ́n mú un lọ síbẹ̀.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú Josẹfu, ó sì bùkún un, ó sì ń gbé ní ilé ọ̀gá rẹ̀ ará Ejibiti.
3 And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatsoever he happens to do.
Nígbà tí ọ̀gá rẹ̀ rí i pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, àti pé Olúwa jẹ́ kí ó máa ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ohun gbogbo tí ó dáwọ́ rẹ̀ lé.
4 And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
Josẹfu sì rí ojúrere Potifari, ó sì di aṣojú rẹ̀, Potifari fi Josẹfu ṣe olórí ilé rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
5 And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.
Láti ìgbà tí ó ti fi Josẹfu jẹ olórí ilé rẹ̀ àti ohun ìní rẹ̀ gbogbo, ni Ọlọ́run ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní bùkún àwọn ará Ejibiti nítorí Josẹfu. Ìbùkún Olúwa wà lórí gbogbo ohun tí Potifari ní, nílé àti lóko.
6 And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
Ó sì fi Josẹfu ṣe àkóso gbogbo ohun tí ó ní. Kò sì ṣe ìyọnu lórí ohunkóhun mọ àyàfi nípa oúnjẹ tí ó ń jẹ láti ìgbà tí ó ti fi Josẹfu ṣe àkóso ilé e rẹ̀. Josẹfu sì jẹ́ arẹwà ọkùnrin ní ìdúró àti ìrísí rẹ̀,
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, aya rẹ̀ ṣe àkíyèsí Josẹfu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Wá bá mi lòpọ̀!”
8 But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
Ṣùgbọ́n Josẹfu kọ̀, ó sì wí fún aya ọ̀gá rẹ̀ pé, “Kíyèsi, Olúwa mi kò fi ohunkóhun dù mi nínú ilé yìí, gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀ ni ó fi lé mi lọ́wọ́.
9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
Kò sí ẹni tí ó jù mi lọ nínú ilé yìí, ọ̀gá mi kò fi ohunkóhun dù mi àyàfi ìwọ, tí í ṣe aya rẹ̀. Báwo ni mo ṣe lè ṣe ohun búburú yìí, kí ń sì ṣẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run?”
10 And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé gbogbo ìgbà ni ó ń tẹnumọ́ èyí fún Josẹfu, Josẹfu kọ̀ láti bá a lòpọ̀. Ó tilẹ̀ kọ̀ láti máa dúró ni ibi tí ó bá wà.
11 it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, Josẹfu lọ sínú ilé láti ṣe iṣẹ́, kò sì sí èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ní tòsí.
12 And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
Ó sì di aṣọ Josẹfu mú, ó sì wí pé, “Wá bá mi lòpọ̀!” Ṣùgbọ́n Josẹfu fi aṣọ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ sí i lọ́wọ́, ó sì sá jáde.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
Nígbà tí ó rí i pé ó ti fi aṣọ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ sí òun lọ́wọ́, ó sì ti sá jáde,
14 that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
ó pe àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ilé náà, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ wò ó, ọkọ ọ̀ mi mú Heberu kan wọlé tọ̀ wá wá láti fi wá ṣe ẹlẹ́yà. Ó wọlé tọ̀ mí wá, láti bá mi lòpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n mo kígbe.
15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ pé mo gbé ohùn mi sókè, tí mo sì kígbe, ó jọ̀wọ́ aṣọ rẹ̀ sọ́dọ̀ mi, ó sì sá, ó bọ́ sóde.”
16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
Ó sì fi aṣọ náà sọ́dọ̀ títí tí ọkọ rẹ̀ fi dé.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou broughtest in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with thee.
Ó rò fún un pé, “Ẹrú ará Heberu tí o rà wá ilé láti fi wá ṣẹlẹ́yà wá láti bá mi lòpọ̀.
18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí mo ti kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì sá kúrò nínú ilé.”
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did thy servant to me, that he was very angry.
Nígbà tí Potifari gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ aya rẹ̀ pé báyìí ni ẹrú rẹ̀ ṣe sí aya rẹ̀, ó bínú gidigidi.
20 And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
Ó sì ju Josẹfu sí ẹ̀wọ̀n, níbi tí a ń ju àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n ọba sí. Ṣùgbọ́n, nígbà tí Josẹfu wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n níbẹ̀,
21 And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.
Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì ṣàánú fún un, ó sì mú kí ó rí ojúrere àwọn alábojútó ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n.
22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatsoever they do there, he did them.
Nítorí náà, alábojútó ọgbà ẹlẹ́wọ̀n fi Josẹfu ṣe alákòóso ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n, àti ohun tí wọn ń ṣe níbẹ̀.
23 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
Wọ́dà náà kò sì mikàn nípa gbogbo ohun tí ó fi sí abẹ́ àkóso Josẹfu, nítorí pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Josẹfu, ó sì ń jẹ́ kí ó ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ohun gbogbo tí ó dáwọ́lé.
