Genesis 39
1 Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
Yusuf telah dibawa ke Mesir oleh orang-orang Ismael itu, dan dijual kepada Potifar, seorang perwira raja yang menjabat kepala pengawal istana.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
TUHAN menolong Yusuf sehingga ia selalu berhasil dalam semua pekerjaannya. Ia tinggal di rumah tuannya, orang Mesir itu.
3 And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
Tuannya melihat bahwa TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan karena itu Yusuf berhasil baik dalam segala yang dikerjakannya.
4 So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.
Potifar senang kepada Yusuf dan mengangkatnya menjadi pelayan pribadinya; lalu ditugaskannya Yusuf mengurus rumah tangganya dan segala miliknya.
5 And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
Sejak saat itu, demi Yusuf, TUHAN memberkati rumah tangga orang Mesir itu dan segala apa yang dimilikinya, baik yang di rumah maupun yang di ladang.
6 So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
Segala sesuatu yang dimiliki Potifar dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf. Dengan demikian Potifar sama sekali tidak mau tahu tentang urusan rumahnya, kecuali hal makanannya. Yusuf gagah dan tampan.
7 And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me."
Selang beberapa waktu, istri Potifar mulai berahi kepada Yusuf, lalu pemuda itu diajaknya tidur bersama.
8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.
Yusuf tidak mau dan berkata kepadanya, "Maaf, Nyonya, tuan Potifar telah mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada saya. Ia tidak perlu memikirkan apa-apa lagi di rumah ini.
9 There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, and sin against God?"
Di sini kuasa saya sama besar dengan kuasanya. Tidak ada satu pun yang tidak dipercayakannya kepada saya kecuali Nyonya. Bagaimana mungkin saya melakukan perbuatan sejahat itu dan berdosa terhadap Allah?"
10 And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her.
Meskipun istri Potifar membujuk Yusuf setiap hari, pemuda itu tetap tidak mau tidur bersamanya.
11 Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
Pada suatu hari ketika Yusuf masuk ke dalam rumah untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, tidak ada seorang pun di situ.
12 She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
Istri Potifar menarik Yusuf pada jubahnya dan berkata, "Mari kita tidur bersama." Yusuf meronta dan dapat lepas, lalu lari ke luar, tetapi jubahnya tertinggal di tangan wanita itu.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
Ketika istri Potifar melihat bahwa Yusuf telah lari dan jubahnya tertinggal,
14 she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
ia memanggil pelayan-pelayannya dan berkata, "Coba lihat! Orang Ibrani yang dibawa suami saya ke rumah ini, menghina kita. Dia masuk ke dalam kamar saya dan mau memperkosa saya, tetapi saya berteriak keras-keras.
15 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
Waktu mendengar teriakan saya, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.
Lalu istri Potifar menyimpan jubah itu sampai suaminya pulang.
17 And she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'
Sekembalinya suaminya, ia segera menuturkan cerita itu kepadanya, katanya, "Orang Ibrani yang kaubawa ke mari itu, masuk ke dalam kamar untuk menghina saya.
18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
Tetapi ketika saya berteriak, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
19 And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.
Potifar menjadi sangat marah.
20 Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound, and he was there in prison.
Dan ia memerintahkan supaya Yusuf segera ditangkap dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, tempat tahanan-tahanan raja dikurung.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Tetapi TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan terus mengasihinya, sehingga kepala penjara suka kepadanya.
22 The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.
Ia mempercayakan tahanan-tahanan lainnya kepada Yusuf, dan Yusuflah yang diserahi tanggung jawab atas segala pekerjaan yang dilakukan di dalam penjara itu.
23 The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
Kepala penjara itu tidak lagi mengawasi segala yang dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf, karena TUHAN menolongnya sehingga dia berhasil dalam segala pekerjaannya.
