< Genesis 39 >

1 And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.
Josefena avre'za Isipi mopare vazageno, Fero avate vugota huno kegava nehia ne' Potifa'a Ismael vahe'mo'za avre'za vu'naza vahepinti miza huno avrente'ne.
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,
Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'negeno, maka eri'zama'amo'a knare'zanke hu'ne. Josefe'a ozafa'amofo nompi Isipi mani'ne.
3 Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Ozafa'amo'ma keana Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'negeno, eri'za kama'amo'a agri azantera knare zanke hu'ne.
4 And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:
Ana higeno, ozafa'amo'a Josefena antahimino, avate eri'za ne' azeri oti'ne. Ana nehuno noma'ane maka'zama'a Josefe azampi antegeno kegava krinte'ne.
5 And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
Isipi ne'mo'ma ana'ma hianknareti agafa huno Josefe'ma noma'afi mani'negu huno Potifana mika nompi zane, fegi'a hozafi zanena Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunte'ne.
6 Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
Maka'zana Potifa'a Josefe azampi antegeno kegava krigeno, maka zankura agesa ontahi'neanki, kave'ma nesia zankuke hu'ne. Hagi Josefena agi'avugosamo'ene, agia azamo'enene, avufgamo'enena knare'za huno soe zanke hu'ne.
7 And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
Anazama nehifina ozafa'amofo nenaro'a Josefena kesane nehuno anage hu'ne, Enka nagrane emaso.
8 But he, in no wise consenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house:
Hianagi agra ana kegura i'o nehuno, ozafa'amofo nenarona anage huno asami'ne, Antahio, nagrama ama nompima mani'nogeno'a ozafanimo'a maka'zankura agesa nontahie. Maka'zama ante'nea zana nagri nazampi kegava kri'nuegu ante'ne.
9 Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife: how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God?
Mago agateresa nera ama nompina omani'ne, nagrake mani'noankino, mikazana nagri nazampi anteno kegava huo hu'neanagi, kagri kaziga antenka mase huno hu izo huonantene. Na'ankure kagra nenaroga mani'nane. Inankna hu'na nagra tusi'a kefo'zana erifore hu'na kumira Anumzamofo avufina hugahue?
10 With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
Ana a'mo'ma maka knafima Josefenku'ma masesu'e huge, erava'o huoma nehigeno'a, ke'a antahi omi'ne.
11 Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
Hagi mago zupa Josefe'a eri'za erinaku nompi marerigeno, ruga'a eri'za vahera ana nompina omani'nageno keteno,
12 And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.
ozafa'amofo nenaro'a nakre ku'are avazu nehuno anage hu'ne, Nagrane emaso, higeno ana nakre ku'a azampi zafi netreno, freno megi'a atiramino vu'ne.
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
Ozafa'amofo nenaro'ma keama Josefe'ma nakreku'ama azampi atreno freno fegi'a atiramigeno'a,
14 She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,
ana a'mo'a noma'afi eri'za e'neriza vahe ke hige'za eme atru hazageno anage hu'ne, Keho, Hibru ne'ma avrenoma eme ante'nea ne'mo, nagri zokago renanteku ege'na krafa hu'noe.
15 And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
Antahige'na ranke hu'na krafama nehuana, nakre ku'a avateti zafitreno freno fegi'a vu'ne.
16 For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
Anage huteno ana nakre ku'a ana a'mo'a tavaoma'are anteno mani'negeno neve'a nontega e'ne.
17 And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
Anante Potifa'a egeno, nenaro'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Miza e'ori kazokazo Hibru eri'za ne' avrenka eme tami'nana ne'mo, nagrite eno zokago renantenaku nehige'na,
18 And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
rankema hu'na krafage hugeno'a, nakre ku'a atreno atiramino fegi'a freno vu'ne.
19 His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.
Potifa nenaro'ma nevema asamino, miza e'ori kazokzo eri'za ne'kamo Josefe anahura nagrira hu'ne, hiankemo'a Potifa rimpamo'a teve re'ne.
20 And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
Ana higeno Josefena ozafa'amo'a avreno kini ne'mo'ma eri'za vahe'ama kinama hunezamantea kina nompi ome ante'ne.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
Ana hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'neno avesinteno azeri so'e nehigeno, kina nonte vugota hu'nea ne'mo'ma keana knare'za hu'ne.
22 Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
Kina nonte'ma vugote'nea ne'mo'a Josefena maka'a kina vahe'mokizmire kegava krinogu kva azeri oti'ne. Hagi inankna zama anampima haniazana agri azampi ante'ne.
23 Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
Kina nonte'ma vugote'nea ne'mo'ma Josefe azampima ante'nea zankura agesa ontahine. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agrane mani'negu huno, maka'zama Josefe'ma hiazana, aza nehigeno knare'zanke hu'ne.
