Genesis 39
1 Joseph had been taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelites, who had sold him to Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officers, the commander of the royal guard.
योसेफलाई मिश्रमा लगियो । अङ्गरक्षकहरूका एक मिश्री कप्तान फारोका अधिकारी पोतीफरले उनलाई इश्माएलीहरूबाट किने ।
2 The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in his Egyptian master's house.
परमप्रभु योसेफसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र उनी एक समृद्ध मानिस भए । उनी आफ्ना मिश्री मालिकका घरमा बस्थे ।
3 His master noticed that the Lord was with him and made him successful in everything he did.
परमप्रभु उनीसँग हुनुहुन्छ र उनले गर्ने सबै काममा उनलाई समृद्धि मिल्छ भन्ने कुरा उनको मालिकले देखे ।
4 Potiphar appreciated Joseph and his service, and put him in charge of his household and made him responsible for everything he owned.
योसेफले तिनको कृपादृष्टि पाए । उनले पोतीफरको सेवा गरे । पोतीफरले योसेफलाई आफ्नो घर र तिनको स्वामित्वमा रहेका सबै कुरामाथि अधिकार दिए, र ती उनको जिम्मामा लगाए ।
5 From the time he put Joseph in charge and trusted him with all he had, the Lord blessed Potiphar's household because of Joseph. The Lord blessed everything he had, whether in his house or in his fields.
तिनको घर र तिनको स्वामित्वमा रहेका सबै कुरामाथि योसेफलाई अधिकार दिएपछि योसेफको कारण परमप्रभुले त्यस मिश्रीको घरलाई आशिषित् गर्नुभयो । पोतीफरको घर र खेतमा भएका सबै कुरामाथि परमप्रभुको आशिष् रह्यो ।
6 So Potiphar left Joseph to care for everything he owned. He didn't bother with anything except to decide what food he was going to eat. Now Joseph was handsome, having a good physique,
पोतीफरले आफ्ना सबै कुरा योसेफको जिम्मामा दिए । तिनले आफूले खाने भोजनबाहेक अरू कुनै कुराको विषयमा पनि चिन्ता लिनु पर्दैनथ्यो । योसेफ सुन्दर र आकर्षक थिए ।
7 so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep with me!”
योसेफका मालिककी पत्नीले उनीप्रति चाहना राखिन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मसँग सुत ।”
8 But he turned her down, telling his master's wife, “Look, my master trusts me so much he doesn't even bother to find out how his household is running. He's put me in charge of everything he owns—
उनले इन्कार गरेर आफ्ना मालिककी पत्नीलाई यसो भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा मालिकले यस घरमा म के गर्छु भन्ने कुराप्रति कुनै चिन्ता गर्नुहुन्न, र उहाँका सबै कुरा उहाँले मेरै जिम्मामा दिनुभएको छ ।
9 no one in this house has more authority than me! He hasn't held back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such an evil thing as this, and sin against God?”
मभन्दा ठुलो यस घरमा कोही छैन । उहाँले तपाईंबाहेक सबै कुरा मलाई दिनुभएको छ, किनभने तपाईं उहाँकी पत्नी हुनुहुन्छ । यसैकारण मैले कसरी यस्तो दुष्ट काम गरी परमेश्वरको विरुद्ध पाप गर्न सक्छु?”
10 Day after day she persisted in asking him, but he refused to sleep with her and tried to avoid her.
तिनले योसेफसँग दिनहुँ कुरा गरिन्, तर उनी तिनीसँग सुत्न वा तिनको नजिक जान इन्कार गरे ।
11 But one day he went into the house to do his work and none of the other servants were there.
एक दिन उनी आफ्ना काम गर्न घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । घरभित्र कोही पनि मानिस थिएन ।
12 She grabbed him by his clothing, and demanded, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his clothing in her hand, he ran out of the house.
तिनले उनको लुगा समातिन् र भनिन्, “मसँग सुत ।” उनले आफ्ना लुगा तिनकै हातमा छोडेर बाहिर भागे ।
13 Seeing that he'd left his clothing in her hand, and had ran out of the house,
जब योसेफ आफ्ना लुगा छोडेर बाहिर भागेका तिनले देखिन्,
14 she shouted out to her servants, “Look at this! He brought this Hebrew slave here to dishonor us! This man came to try and rape me, but I screamed at the top of my voice.
तिनले आफ्ना घरका मानिसहरूलाई बोलाएर भनिन्, “हेर, पोतीफरले हाम्रो बेइज्जत गर्न एउटा हिब्रूलाई ल्याउनुभएको छ । त्यो मकहाँ सुत्न भनेर आयो, अनि म चिच्याएँ ।
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
जब त्यसले म चिच्याएकी सुन्यो, त्यसले आफ्ना लुगा मकहाँ छोडेर बाहिर भाग्यो ।”
16 She kept his clothing with her until her husband came home.
तिनको मालिक घर नआउन्जेलसम्म तिनले त्यो लुगा आफ्नै साथमा राखिन् ।
17 Then she told him her story. It went like this: “That Hebrew slave you brought here tried to come and dishonor me.
तिनले उनलाई यसरी वर्णन गरिन्, “तपाईंले हाम्रो निम्ति ल्याउनुभएको त्यो हिब्रू नोकर मेरो बेइज्जत गर्न मकहाँ आयो ।
18 But as soon as I screamed and called for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
जब म चिच्याएँ, त्यसले आफ्ना लुगा मकहाँ छोडेर बाहिर भाग्यो ।”
19 When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry.
आफ्नो नोकरले आफ्नी पत्नीलाई गरेको व्यवहार आफ्नी पत्नीबाट सुनेपछि तिनी रिसले चुर भए ।
20 He took Joseph and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed.
योसेफका मालिकले उनलाई झ्यालखानामा राखे जहाँ राजाका कैदीहरू राखिन्थे । उनी त्यही झ्यालखानामा थिए ।
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, showing him trustworthy love, and made the chief jailer pleased with him.
तर परमप्रभु योसेफसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र आफ्ना करारप्रति उहाँ भरोसायोग्य रहनुभयो । झ्यालखानाका हाकिमको नजरमा उहाँले उनलाई कृपादृष्टि दिनुभयो ।
22 So the chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners there and gave him the responsibility for running the prison.
झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले झ्यालखानाका सबै कैदीहरू योसेफको जिम्मामा दिए । तिनीहरूले गर्ने काममाथि योसेफकै निगरानी हुन्थ्यो ।
23 The chief jailer didn't bother with anything for Joseph took care of it all for the Lord was with him and made him successful.
उनको जिम्मामा भएका कुनै कुरामा त्यस झ्यालखानाका हाकिम चिन्तित हुँदैन थिए, किनभने परमप्रभु उनीसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उनले जे गर्थे, परमप्रभुले समृद्धि प्रदान गर्नुहुन्थ्यो ।
