Genesis 39

1 And Joseph has been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buys him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him there.

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 YHWH is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,

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 and his lord sees that YHWH is with him, and all that he is doing YHWH is causing 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 finds grace in his eyes and serves him, and he appoints him over his house, and all that he has he has given into his hand.

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 it comes to pass from the time that he has appointed him over his house, and over all that he has, that YHWH blesses the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of YHWH is on all that he has, in the house, and in the field;

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 and he leaves all that he has in the hand of Joseph, and he has not known anything that he has, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a handsome form, and of a handsome appearance.

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 it comes to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifts up her eyes to Joseph and says, “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 and he refuses and says to his lord’s wife, “Behold, my lord has not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand;

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 none is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld from me anything, except you, because you [are] his wife; and how will I do this great evil? Then I have sinned against 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 And it comes to pass at her speaking to Joseph day [by] day, that he has not listened to her, to lie near her, to be with her;

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 and it comes to pass about this day, that he goes into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,

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 catches him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me”; and he leaves his garment in her hand, and flees, and goes outside.

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 it comes to pass, when she sees that he has left his garment in her hand, and flees outside,

A, no tona kitenga kua whakarerea e ia tona kakahu i roto i tona ringa, a kua rere ki waho,

14 that she calls for the men of her house, and speaks to them, saying, “See, he has brought a man to us, a Hebrew, to play with us; he has come in to me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,

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 it comes to pass, when he hears that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees, and goes outside.”

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 And she places his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord to his house.

Na ka waiho e ia tona kakahu ki tona taha, kia hoki mai ra ano tona ariki ki tona whare.

17 And she speaks to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you have brought to us, has come in to me to play with 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 it comes to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees outside.”

A, ka rahi toku reo ki te hamama, na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki ahau, a rere ana ki waho.

19 And it comes to pass, when his lord hears the words of his wife, which she has spoken to him, saying, “According to these things has your servant done to me,” that his anger burns;

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 Joseph’s lord takes him, and puts him to the round-house, a place where the king’s prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-house.

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 And YHWH is with Joseph, and stretches out kindness to him, and puts his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;

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 and the chief of the round-house gives into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he has been doer;

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 the chief of the round-house does not see anything under his hand, because YHWH [is] with him, and that which he is doing YHWH is causing 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.
