Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
Adapun Yusuf telah dibawa ke Mesir; dan Potifar, seorang Mesir, pegawai istana Firaun, kepala pengawal raja, membeli dia dari tangan orang Ismael yang telah membawa dia ke situ.
2 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf, sehingga ia menjadi seorang yang selalu berhasil dalam pekerjaannya; maka tinggallah ia di rumah tuannya, orang Mesir itu.
3 And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Setelah dilihat oleh tuannya, bahwa Yusuf disertai TUHAN dan bahwa TUHAN membuat berhasil segala sesuatu yang dikerjakannya,
4 And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
maka Yusuf mendapat kasih tuannya, dan ia boleh melayani dia; kepada Yusuf diberikannya kuasa atas rumahnya dan segala miliknya diserahkannya pada kekuasaan Yusuf.
5 And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
Sejak ia memberikan kuasa dalam rumahnya dan atas segala miliknya kepada Yusuf, TUHAN memberkati rumah orang Mesir itu karena Yusuf, sehingga berkat TUHAN ada atas segala miliknya, baik yang di rumah maupun yang di ladang.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
Segala miliknya diserahkannya pada kekuasaan Yusuf, dan dengan bantuan Yusuf ia tidak usah lagi mengatur apa-apapun selain dari makanannya sendiri. Adapun Yusuf itu manis sikapnya dan elok parasnya.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
Selang beberapa waktu isteri tuannya memandang Yusuf dengan berahi, lalu katanya: "Marilah tidur dengan aku."
8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
Tetapi Yusuf menolak dan berkata kepada isteri tuannya itu: "Dengan bantuanku tuanku itu tidak lagi mengatur apa yang ada di rumah ini dan ia telah menyerahkan segala miliknya pada kekuasaanku,
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
bahkan di rumah ini ia tidak lebih besar kuasanya dari padaku, dan tiada yang tidak diserahkannya kepadaku selain dari pada engkau, sebab engkau isterinya. Bagaimanakah mungkin aku melakukan kejahatan yang besar ini dan berbuat dosa terhadap Allah?"
10 And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
Walaupun dari hari ke hari perempuan itu membujuk Yusuf, Yusuf tidak mendengarkan bujukannya itu untuk tidur di sisinya dan bersetubuh dengan dia.
11 that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
Pada suatu hari masuklah Yusuf ke dalam rumah untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, sedang dari seisi rumah itu seorangpun tidak ada di rumah.
12 Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
Lalu perempuan itu memegang baju Yusuf sambil berkata: "Marilah tidur dengan aku." Tetapi Yusuf meninggalkan bajunya di tangan perempuan itu dan lari ke luar.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
Ketika dilihat perempuan itu, bahwa Yusuf meninggalkan bajunya dalam tangannya dan telah lari ke luar,
14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;
dipanggilnyalah seisi rumah itu, lalu katanya kepada mereka: "Lihat, dibawanya ke mari seorang Ibrani, supaya orang ini dapat mempermainkan kita. Orang ini mendekati aku untuk tidur dengan aku, tetapi aku berteriak-teriak dengan suara keras.
15 and it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.
Dan ketika didengarnya bahwa aku berteriak sekeras-kerasnya, ditinggalkannyalah bajunya padaku, lalu ia lari ke luar."
16 And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
Juga ditaruhnya baju Yusuf itu di sisinya, sampai tuan rumah pulang.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
Perkataan itu jugalah yang diceritakan perempuan itu kepada Potifar, katanya: "Hamba orang Ibrani yang kaubawa ke mari itu datang kepadaku untuk mempermainkan aku.
18 and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
Tetapi ketika aku berteriak sekeras-kerasnya, ditinggalkannya bajunya padaku, lalu ia lari ke luar."
19 And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
Baru saja didengar oleh tuannya perkataan yang diceritakan isterinya kepadanya: begini begitulah aku diperlakukan oleh hambamu itu, maka bangkitlah amarahnya.
20 And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
Lalu Yusuf ditangkap oleh tuannya dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, tempat tahanan-tahanan raja dikurung. Demikianlah Yusuf dipenjarakan di sana.
21 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf dan melimpahkan kasih setia-Nya kepadanya, dan membuat Yusuf kesayangan bagi kepala penjara itu.
22 And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
Sebab itu kepala penjara mempercayakan semua tahanan dalam penjara itu kepada Yusuf, dan segala pekerjaan yang harus dilakukan di situ, dialah yang mengurusnya.
23 The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
Dan kepala penjara tidak mencampuri segala yang dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf, karena TUHAN menyertai dia dan apa yang dikerjakannya dibuat TUHAN berhasil.
