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.
Sementara itu, Yusuf sudah dibawa ke Mesir oleh para pedagang orang Ismael dan dijual kepada Potifar, komandan pengawal raja Mesir.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf selama dia bekerja sebagai budak orang Mesir itu, sehingga dia selalu berhasil dalam semua pekerjaannya.
3 And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
Potifar melihat bahwa TUHAN membuat Yusuf mengerjakan seluruh pekerjaannya dengan baik.
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.
Karena itu dia senang kepada Yusuf dan menunjuk dia sebagai pelayan pribadi untuk menangani urusan rumahnya dan mengelola 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 Yusuf mengurus segala sesuatu yang dipercayakan Potifar kepadanya, TUHAN semakin memberkati keluarga orang Mesir itu. TUHAN memberkati segala miliknya, baik di rumah maupun 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.
Potifar mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada Yusuf sepenuhnya. Dengan demikian dia hanya perlu mengurus urusan pribadinya sendiri. Yusuf bertubuh kekar dan dia sangat 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."
Seiring berjalannya waktu, istri Potifar mulai menaruh hati pada Yusuf, dan dia berkata, “Marilah tidur denganku.”
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.
Tetapi Yusuf menolak istri majikannya itu. Kata Yusuf, “Tuan Potifar sudah mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada saya.
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?"
Tidak ada orang lain di dalam rumah ini yang diberi kuasa sebesar saya. Tuan sudah mempercayakan semuanya kepada saya, kecuali Nyonya, karena Nyonya adalah istrinya. Bagaimana mungkin saya berdosa terhadap Allah dengan melakukan perbuatan sejahat ini!”
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.
Hari demi hari, istri Potifar berulang kali mengajak Yusuf tidur dengannya, tetapi Yusuf tetap pada pendiriannya dan menolak setiap ajakannya.
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, Yusuf sedang melakukan tugas-tugasnya dan kebetulan tidak ada pekerja lain di rumah.
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 pakaian Yusuf dan berkata, “Ayolah, tidurlah denganku!” Yusuf berhasil melarikan diri, tetapi pakaiannya tertinggal dalam genggaman istri Potifar.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
Ketika perempuan itu melihat Yusuf sudah melarikan diri dengan meninggalkan pakaiannya,
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.
dia berteriak memanggil para pekerjanya di luar, “Lihatlah, orang Ibrani yang dibawa suamiku ke rumah ini sudah meremehkan kita! Dia baru saja berusaha memperkosaku! Karena itulah aku berteriak.
15 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
Ketika dia mendengar aku berteriak, dia melarikan diri dan pakaiannya tertinggal.”
16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.
Istri Potifar membiarkan pakaian Yusuf di sampingnya 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.'
Ketika suaminya datang, dia berkata, “Budak Ibrani yang kamu bawa ke rumah ini hendak mempermalukanku.
18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
Ketika aku berteriak, dia melarikan diri dan meninggalkan pakaiannya.
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.
Rupanya beginilah kelakuan budakmu terhadapku!” Mendengar cerita istrinya itu, Potifar 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.
Potifar pun melemparkan Yusuf ke dalam penjara tempat tahanan raja.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Namun, TUHAN menyertai Yusuf dan setia mengasihinya. TUHAN membuat kepala penjara terkesan dengan Yusuf, sehingga
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.
dia mempercayakan Yusuf tanggung jawab untuk mengurus segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan para tahanan lainnya.
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 tidak pernah mempertanyakan tugas yang berada dalam tanggung jawab Yusuf, karena Yusuf selalu berhasil dalam segala sesuatu yang dia lakukan, sebab TUHAN menyertainya.
