< 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.
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 Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master 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 saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 on 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 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.
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 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?
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 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,
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 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.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, Josẹfu lọ sínú ilé láti ṣe iṣẹ́, kò sì sí èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ní tòsí.
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.
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 garment in her hand and had fled 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 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;
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 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.
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 And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
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 bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
Ó rò fún un pé, “Ẹrú ará Heberu tí o rà wá ilé láti fi wá ṣẹlẹ́yà wá láti bá mi lòpọ̀.
18 and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí mo ti kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì sá kúrò nínú ilé.”
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.
Nígbà tí Potifari gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ aya rẹ̀ pé báyìí ni ẹrú rẹ̀ ṣe sí aya rẹ̀, ó bínú gidigidi.
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.
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 Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
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 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.
Nítorí náà, alábojútó ọgbà ẹlẹ́wọ̀n fi Josẹfu ṣe alákòóso ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n, àti ohun tí wọn ń ṣe níbẹ̀.
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.
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.
