Genesis 39
1 Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither.
Awo Yusufu bwe yatwalibwa e Misiri, Potifali omukungu wa Falaawo, omukulu w’abambowa Omumisiri n’amugula okuva ku Bayisimayiri abaamutwala e Misiri.
2 And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Mukama n’aba ne Yusufu n’aba n’omukisa ng’ali mu nnyumba ya mukama we Omumisiri.
3 And his master sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.
Ne mukama we n’alaba nga Mukama amuwadde omukisa mu buli ky’akola.
4 So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand.
Awo Yusufu n’aganja nnyo mu maaso ga mukama we, n’amulabiriranga, n’amufuula omukulu we nnyumba ye ne byonna bye yalina.
5 And from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde.
Okuva olwo Mukama n’awa omukisa ennyumba y’Omumisiri olwa Yusufu. Omukisa gwa Mukama ne guba ku byonna bye yalina, mu nnyumba ne mu nnimiro.
6 Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured.
Awo Omumisiri n’ateeka byonna mu mikono gya Yusufu. Yusufu n’avunaanyizibwanga byonna okuggyako emmere mukama we gye yalyanga. Kyokka Yusufu yali mulungi nnyo, mubalagavu.
7 Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye with me.
Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebbanga eriwerako, mukyala wa mukama we namutunuulira n’okwegomba era n’amugamba nti, “Weebake nange.”
8 But he refused and said to his masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande.
Naye Yusufu n’agaana, n’agamba mukazi wa mukama we nti, “Laba, mukama wange yankwasa byonna ebiri mu nnyumba, n’abiteeka byonna mu mikono gyange,
9 There is no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne against God?
era tewali n’omu ansinga mu nnyumba ye, tewali na kimu ky’atankwasa okuggyako ggwe, kubanga ggwe oli mukazi we. Kale nnyinza ntya okuyingira mu kwonoona okwenkanidde awo n’okusobya eri Katonda?”
10 And albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.
Newaakubadde muka mukama we yamutayirira, Yusufu ye teyamuwulira na mulundi na gumu.
11 Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold in the house:
Naye lwali lumu Yusufu bwe yayingira mu nju okukola emirimu gye nga tewali n’omu mu nnyumba,
12 Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out.
muka mukama we n’akwata ekyambalo kya Yusufu nga bw’agamba nti, “Weegatte nange.” Yusufu n’amwesimatulako, ekyambalo kye ne kisigala mu ngalo z’omukazi wa mukama we. Ye n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.
13 Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,
Naye omukazi bwe yalaba ng’asigazza ekyambalo kya Yusufu,
14 She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce.
n’ayita abasajja ab’omu nnyumba ye n’abagamba nti, “Mulabe, yatuleetera Omwebbulaniya okutuduulira, yazze gye ndi okwebaka nange,
15 And when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.
bw’awulidde nga ndeekaana n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.”
16 So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.
Awo kwe kutereka ekyambalo okutuusa mukama wa Yusufu lwe yadda eka.
17 Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me.
Omukyala n’abuulira bba byonna ng’agamba nti, “Omuddu Omwebbulaniya gwe watuleetera, yayingidde gye ndi okunjooga.
18 But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.
Naye nabadde nakaleekaana, n’aleka ekyambalo kye gye ndi, n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.”
19 Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled.
Awo mukama wa Yusufu bwe yawulira ebigambo omukazi bye yamutegeeza ng’agamba nti, “Bw’ati ne bw’ati omuddu wo bwe yampisizza,” obusungu bwa bba ne bubuubuuka.
20 And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.
Mukama wa Yusufu n’akwata Yusufu n’amuteeka mu kkomera omwasibirwanga abazzizza emisango eri kabaka.
21 But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.
Naye Mukama n’abeera ne Yusufu, n’amulaga okwagala kwe okutalojjeka. N’aganja nnyo mu maaso g’omukuumi w’ekkomera.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.
Omukuumi w’ekkomera n’ateeka abasibe bonna mu mikono gya Yusufu, era buli ekyakolebwanga nga Yusufu y’akirinako obuvunaanyizibwa.
23 And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
Omukuumi w’ekkomera nga tafaayo ku buli ekyalinga mu mikono gya Yusufu, kubanga Mukama yali naye, era Mukama n’amuwa omukisa mu buli kye yakolanga.
