Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
Na rĩrĩ, Jusufu nĩaikũrũkirio o nginya bũrũri wa Misiri. Nake Potifaru, Mũmisiri ũmwe wa anene a Firaũni, na mũrũgamĩrĩri wa arangĩri a Firaũni, akĩmũgũra kuuma kũrĩ Aishumaeli arĩa maamũtwarĩte kũu.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Nake Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Jusufu, nake akĩgaacĩra, na agĩtũũra nyũmba-inĩ ya Mũmisiri ũcio mwathi wake.
3 And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Na rĩrĩa mwathi wake onire atĩ Jehova aarĩ hamwe nake, na atĩ Jehova nĩatũmĩte Jusufu agaacĩre maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga-rĩ,
4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand.
Jusufu agĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ make na agĩtuĩka wa kũmũtungatĩra. Potifaru akĩmũtua mũrori wa nyũmba yake na akĩmwĩhokera ũmenyereri wa kĩrĩa gĩothe aarĩ nakĩo.
5 And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aamũtuire mũrori wa nyũmba yake na kĩrĩa gĩothe aarĩ nakĩo, Jehova akĩrathima nyũmba ya Mũmisiri ũcio nĩ ũndũ wa Jusufu. Kĩrathimo kĩa Jehova kĩarĩ igũrũ wa indo ciothe cia Potifaru, iria ciarĩ nyũmba o na iria ciarĩ mũgũnda.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was [a] goodly [person], and well favoured.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtigĩra Jusufu indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio acimenyagĩrĩre; rĩrĩa rĩothe Jusufu aarĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri-rĩ, Potifaru ndarũmbũyanagia na kĩndũ o nakĩ tiga o irio iria aarĩĩaga. Na rĩrĩ, Jusufu aarĩ mũthaka na wa mwĩrĩ mwega,
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
na thuutha wa ihinda, mũtumia wa mwathi wake akĩmwĩrirĩria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka ũkome na niĩ!”
8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
No Jusufu akĩrega. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ mũrori-rĩ, mwathi wakwa ndarũmbũyanagia na kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩa nyũmba, indo iria ciothe arĩ nacio nĩanjĩĩhokeire ndĩcimenyagĩrĩre.
9 [There is] none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou [art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ mũnene nyũmba ĩno ũngĩrĩte. Mwathi wakwa ndangirĩrĩirie kĩndũ o nakĩ, tiga wee wiki, tondũ ũrĩ mũtumia wake. Ndaakĩhota atĩa gwĩka ũndũ ta ũyũ wa waganu njĩhĩrie Ngai?”
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.
Na o na gũtuĩka nĩaringagĩrĩria Jusufu mũthenya o mũthenya akome nake-rĩ, Jusufu nĩaregire gũkoma nake o na kana gũkorwo hamwe nake.
11 And it came to pass about this time, that [Joseph] went into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of the house there within.
No mũthenya ũmwe Jusufu nĩaingĩrire nyũmba kũruta wĩra wake, na gũtiarĩ ndungata o na ĩmwe ya nyũmba yarĩ kũu thĩinĩ.
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
Mũtumia ũcio akĩnyiita nguo ya Jusufu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka ũkome na niĩ!” No Jusufu agĩtiga nguo yake guoko-inĩ kwa mũtumia ũcio, akiuma nyũmba akĩũra.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
Na rĩrĩa mũtumia ũcio onire atĩ Jusufu nĩatiga nguo yake guoko-inĩ gwake na oora-rĩ,
14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
agĩĩta ndungata cia nyũmba yake, agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta kĩonei Mũhibirania ũyũ aarehirwo kũrĩ ithuĩ nĩgeetha atũnyarare! Egũũkĩte haha nĩguo akome na niĩ, na niĩ ndakaya.
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 got him out.
Na rĩrĩa aigua ngĩkaya ndeithio, aatiga nguo yake haha, oima nyũmba na oora.”
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
Nake agĩikara na nguo ĩyo nginya rĩrĩa mwathi wa Jusufu aainũkire.
17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũhe rũgano rũu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngombo ĩrĩa ya Mũhibirania, ĩrĩa watũreheire ĩgũũkĩte kũrĩ niĩ kũnyarara.
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
No rĩrĩa njugire mbu ndeithio, yatiga nguo ĩno harĩ niĩ, yoima nyũmba na yora.”
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
Rĩrĩa mwathi wa Jusufu aiguire rũgano rũu aaheirwo nĩ mũtumia wake, rĩrĩa aamwĩrire, “Ũguo nĩguo ngombo yaku ĩnjĩkire,” agĩcinwo nĩ marakara.
20 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners [were] bound: and he was there in the prison.
Nake mwathi wa Jusufu akĩnyiita Jusufu akĩmũikia njeera, kũndũ kũrĩa gwaikagio andũ arĩa oohe a mũthamaki. No hĩndĩ ĩyo Jusufu aarĩ kũu njeera-rĩ,
21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Jehova aarĩ hamwe nake; akĩmũtuga na agĩtũma etĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ ma mũnene wa njeera.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer [of it].
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnene wa njeera agĩtua Jusufu mũrori wa arĩa othe moohetwo njeera, na agĩtuuo mũmenyereri wa maũndũ mothe marĩa meekagwo kũu.
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and [that] which he did, the LORD made [it] to prosper.
Mũnene ũcio wa njeera ndaarũmbũyagia ũndũ o na ũmwe wa marĩa maamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Jusufu, tondũ Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Jusufu na akĩmũhe ũgaacĩru maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga.
