Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.
A kpọọrọ Josef gaa nʼala Ijipt. Pọtifa, bụ nwoke Ijipt, otu nʼime ndịisi na-ejere Fero ozi, na onyeisi ndị agha na-eche nche zụụrụ ya site nʼaka ndị Ishmel, bụ ndị duuru ya gaa nʼebe ahụ.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Josef, nke mere na ihe gaara ya nke ọma nʼụlọ nna ya ukwu onye Ijipt.
3 And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
Nna ya ukwu hụrụ na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Josef, hụkwa na Onyenwe anyị na-eme ka ihe niile o mere gaara ya nke ọma.
4 And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
Josef hụtara amara nʼihu ya, ghọọ onyeozi nke aka ya. Pọtifa mere ya onye na-elekọta ezinaụlọ ya. Nyefee ya ihe niile o nwere ka ọ bụrụ onye na-elekọta ha.
5 And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.
Site nʼoge a, o mere ka ọ bụrụ onye na-elekọta ezinaụlọ ya na ihe niile o nwere, Onyenwe anyị gọziri ezinaụlọ onye Ijipt ahụ nʼihi Josef. Ngọzị Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị nʼihe niile Pọtifa nwere, ma ihe o nwere nʼụlọ ma ndị o nwere nʼubi ya.
6 And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
Ya mere, ọ hapụrụ ihe niile o nwere nʼaka Josef. Nke a mere na ọ mazighị ihe ọzọ na-eme, ma ọ bụghị nri nke ọ na-eri. Josef nʼonwe ya mara mma ahụ dịkwa mma ile anya.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
Mgbe oge nta gasịrị, nwunye Pọtifa lere Josef anya sị ya, “Bịa ka anyị abụọ dinaa.”
8 But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
Ma Josef jụrụ. Ọ gwara nwunye nna ya ukwu sị, “Lee, nna m ukwu anaghị echegbu onwe ya banyere ihe ọbụla nʼụlọ a. O werela ihe niile o nwere nyefee m nʼaka ka m lekọta ha anya.
9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
O nweghị onye ọnọdụ ya dị elu karịa nke m nʼụlọ a. O gbochighị m ihe ọbụla ma ọ bụghị gị, nʼihi na ị bụ nwunye ya. Olee otu m ga-esi mee oke ihe ọjọọ dị otu a, mee mmehie megide Chineke.”
10 And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
Ọ bụ ezie na nwanyị a nọgidere na-enye Josef nsogbu site nʼụbọchị ruo ụbọchị ma Josef jụrụ iso ya dinaa, jụkwa ịnọnyere ya.
11 it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
Otu ụbọchị, Josef batara nʼime ụlọ ịrụ ọrụ ya. O nweghị ndị ọzọ na-eje ozi nọ nʼime ụlọ nʼụbọchị ahụ.
12 And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
Nwunye Pọtifa jidere Josef nʼuwe mwụda ya, rịọọ ya sị ya, “Bịa ka anyị dinaa.” Ma Josef si nʼime ụlọ ahụ gbapụ, hapụ uwe mwụda ya nʼaka nwunye Pọtifa.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
Mgbe nwanyị a hụrụ na Josef agbapụla, hapụ uwe ya,
14 that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
ọ kpọrọ ndị na-eje ozi nʼezinaụlọ ya sị ha, “Lee, onye Hibru a di m kpọbatara nʼụlọ a chọrọ iji anyị gwurie egwu. Ọ bịakwutere m nʼime ụlọ chọọ ka mụ na ya dinaa. E tiri m mkpu nʼolu ike.
15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
Mgbe ọ nụrụ ka m welitere olu m tie mkpu enyemaka m tiri, o sitere nʼime ụlọ a gbapụ, ma hapụrụ m uwe ya.”
16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
Nwanyị a debere uwe ahụ nʼakụkụ ya ruo mgbe nna ya ukwu lọtara nʼụlọ.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara di ya okwu ndị a sị, “Onye ohu Hibru a ị kpọbataara anyị bakwutere m iji m gwurie egwu.
18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
Ma mgbe m welitere olu tie mkpu enyemaka o sitere nʼụlọ gbapụ hapụrụ m uwe ya.”
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
Mgbe nna ya ukwu nụrụ ihe nwunye ya gwara ya sị, “Otu a ka ohu gị si meso m mmeso,” o were iwe dị ọkụ.
20 And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
Nna ukwu Josef weere ya tụnye nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, nʼebe a na-etinye ndị mkpọrọ eze Ijipt. Ma ebe ahụ Josef nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ,
21 And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favor in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.
Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ya. O meere ya ebere, mekwa ka o nweta ihuọma nʼebe onyeisi ndị nche ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ nọ.
22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.
Onyeisi ndị na-eche ụlọ mkpọrọ mere Josef onyeisi ndị mkpọrọ niile nọ nʼime ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ. Josef ghọrọ onye a na-ajụ otu ihe si aga nʼime ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ.
23 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
Onyeisi ndị nche ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ enyeghịkwa onwe ya nsogbu maka ihe ọbụla. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Josef, mee ka ihe ọbụla ọ na-eme gaa nke ọma.
