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.
A i kawea iho a Hohepa ki Ihipa; na ka hokona ia e Potiwhara, he tangata nui na Parao, he rangatira no nga kaitiaki, he Ihipiana, i roto i nga ringa o nga Ihimaeri, nana nei ia i kawe ki reira.
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,
Na i a Hohepa a Ihowa, a he tangata whai rawa ia; i noho ano ia i roto i te whare o tona ariki, o te Ihipiana.
3 Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
A i kite tona ariki kei a ia a Ihowa, pono tonu hoki i a Ihowa nga mahi katoa a tona ringa.
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:
Na ka manakohia a Hohepa e ia, ka mahi ia ki a ia: a ka waiho ia hei kaitirotiro mo tona whare, a ka homai e ia ana mea katoa ki tona ringa.
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.
A, i a ia ka waiho nei hei kaitirotiro mo tona whare, mo ana mea katoa, na ka manaakitia e Ihowa te whare o te Ihipiana he whakaaro ki a Hohepa; i runga ano i ana mea katoa te manaaki a Ihowa, i te whare, i te mara.
6 Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
I waiho hoki e ia i te ringa a Hohepa ana mea katoa; kihai hoki i mohiotia e ia tetahi o ana mea, heoi ano ko te taro i kai ai ia. A he tangata ataahua a Hohepa, he pai hoki ia ki te titiro atu.
7 And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
A, i muri i enei mea, ka anga nga kanohi o te wahine a tona ariki ki a Hohepa; a ka mea ia, Takoto taua.
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:
A ka whakakahore ia, ka mea hoki ki te wahine a tona ariki, Na, e kore toku ariki e mohio ko te aha kei ahau i roto i te whare, kua homai nei hoki e ia ana mea katoa ki toku ringa;
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?
Kahore tetahi i roto i tenei whare e nui ake i ahau; kahore ano hoki i kaiponuhia e ia tetahi mea ki ahau, ko koe anake, no te mea ko tana wahine koe: na, me pehea e mahi ai ahau i tenei kino nui, e hara ai ki te Atua?
10 With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
Heoi korero noa ia ki a Hohepa i tenei ra, i tenei ra, a kihai ia rongo ki a ia, kia takoto tahi raua, kia noho tahi raua
11 Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
Na i taua wa ka haere a Hohepa ki te whare ki te mahi i tana mahi; a kahore tetahi o nga tangata o te whare i reira i roto i te whare.
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.
Na ka hopukia ia e ia, ara tona kakahu, ka mea, Takoto taua: na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki tona ringa, a rere ana, puta ana ki waho.
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
A, no tona kitenga kua whakarerea e ia tona kakahu i roto i tona ringa, a kua rere ki waho,
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,
Na ka karanga ia ki nga tangata o tona whare, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Titiro, kua kawea mai e ia tetahi Hiperu hei hangarau i a tatou; i haere mai ia ki ahau kia takoto maua, a he rahi toku reo ki te hamama:
15 And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
A, ka rongo ia he rahi toku reo ki te hamama, na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki ahau, a rere ana, puta ana ki waho.
16 For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
Na ka waiho e ia tona kakahu ki tona taha, kia hoki mai ra ano tona ariki ki tona whare.
17 And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
A ka korero ia ki a ia, ko aua kupu ano, ka mea, I haere mai ki ahau taua pononga Hiperu, i kawea mai nei e koe ki a matou, ki te hangarau i ahau:
18 And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
A, ka rahi toku reo ki te hamama, na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki ahau, a rere ana ki waho.
19 His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.
A, ka rongo tona ariki i nga kupu a tana wahine i korero ai ia ki a ia, i mea ai, Ko nga mea enei i mea ai tau pononga ki ahau; na ka mura tona riri.
20 And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
A ka mau te ariki o Hohepa ki a ia, a maka ana ia ki te whare herehere, ki te wahi i herea ai nga herehere a te kingi: a noho ana ia i reira, i te whare herehere.
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:
Otiia i a Hohepa a Ihowa, ka puta ano tona aroha ki a ia, a ka hoatu ki a ia kia manakohia ia e te rangatira o te whare herehere.
22 Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
A i tukua e te rangatira o te whare herehere ki te ringaringa o Hohepa nga herehere katoa i roto i te whare herehere: ko ia ano te kaimahi o nga mea katoa i meatia e ratou i reira.
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.
Kihai te rangatira o te whare herehere i titiro ki tetahi o nga mea i tona ringa; no te mea i a ia a Ihowa, i mea ano a Ihowa kia pono tana i mea ai.
