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.
Tsopano Yosefe anatengedwa kupita ku Igupto. Potifara Mwigupto amene anali mmodzi wa akuluakulu a Farao ndiponso mkulu wa asilikali olonda ku nyumba kwa Farao, anagula Yosefe kwa Aismaeli amene anapita naye kumeneko.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
Koma Yehova anali ndi Yosefe ndipo zake zonse zimayenda bwino. Iye ankakhala mʼnyumba ya mbuye wake wa ku Igupto.
3 And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
Mbuye wake anaona kuti Yehova anali naye Yosefe ndi kuti pa chilichonse chimene anachita Yehova ankaonetsetsa kuti achite bwino.
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.
Potifara anakondwera ndi Yosefe chifukwa cha matumikiridwe ake. Choncho anamusandutsa woyangʼanira nyumba yake ndi zonse za mʼnyumba yake.
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.
Kuchokera pa nthawi imene anamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira wa nyumbayo ndi zonse za mʼnyumbamo, Yehova anadalitsa nyumba ya Mwiguptoyo chifukwa cha Yosefe. Madalitso a Yehova anali pa chilichonse chimene Potifara anali nacho, za mʼnyumba komanso za ku munda.
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.
Choncho anasiyira mʼmanja mwa Yosefe chilichonse chomwe anali nacho, kotero kuti samadandaula ndi chilichonse kupatula chakudya chimene ankadya. Tsopano Yosefe anali wa thupi labwino ndi wokongola.
7 And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me."
Patapita kanthawi, mkazi wa mbuye wake anayamba kusirira Yosefe nati, “Bwanji ugone nane!”
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.
Koma iye anakana namuwuza kuti, “Inu mukuona kuti mbuye wanga sadandaula ndi kena kalikonse mʼnyumba muno, ndipo chawo chilichonse anachiyika mʼmanja mwanga.
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?"
Motero kuti palibe wina wamkulu kuposa ine mʼnyumba muno. Ndipo palibe chilichonse chimene mbuye wanga sanachipereke kwa ine kupatula inuyo, chifukwa ndinu mkazi wake. Tsono ndingachite bwanji choyipa choterechi ndi kuchimwira Mulungu?”
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.
Ndipo ngakhale kuti iye anayankhula mawu omwewa ndi Yosefe tsiku ndi tsiku, Yosefe sanalole kugona naye ngakhale kukhala naye pafupi.
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.
Tsiku lina Yosefe analowa mʼnyumbamo kukagwira ntchito zake, ndipo munalibe wina aliyense wantchito mʼnyumbamo.
12 She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
Mkazi uja anamugwira mkanjo Yosefe nati, “Tiye ugone nane!” Koma Yosefe anasiya mkanjo wake mʼmanja mwa mkaziyo nathawira kunja kwa nyumba.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
Pamene mkazi uja anaona kuti Yosefe wamusiyira mkanjo wake mʼmanja mwake nathawira kunja kwa nyumba,
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.
iye anayitana antchito ake a mʼnyumba nati, “Taonani mwamuna wanga anabwera ndi Mhebri uyu mʼnyumba muno kuti adzagone nane. Iyeyu analowa ku chipinda kwanga kuti adzagone nane ndipo ine ndinakuwa kwambiri.
15 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
Atandimva ndikukuwa, anandisiyira mkanjo wakewu nʼkuthawira kunja.”
16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.
Tsono mkazi wa Potifara uja anasunga mkanjowo mpaka mbuye wake wa Yosefe atabwera ku nyumba.
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.'
Tsono anamuwuza nkhaniyi nati: “Wantchito Wachihebri amene munatibweretsera uja anabwera kuti adzagone nane.
18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
Koma pamene ndinakuwa, iye anandisiyira mkanjo wake nathawira kunja.”
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.
Mbuye wake wa Yosefe atamva nkhani imene mkazi wake anamuwuza kuti, “Ndi zimene anandichitira wantchito wanu,” anapsa mtima kwambiri.
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.
Tsono iye anatenga Yosefe namuyika mʼndende mmene ankasungiramo amʼndende a mfumu. Ndipo Yosefe anakhala mʼndendemo
21 But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
koma Yehova anali naye, ndipo anamuonetsa kukoma mtima kwake, kotero kuti woyangʼanira ndende anakondwera ndi Yosefe.
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.
Choncho woyangʼanira ndende uja anamuyika Yosefe kukhala woyangʼanira onse amene anayikidwa mʼndende. Ndiponso anamupatsa udindo woyangʼanira zonse zochitika mʼndendemo.
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.
Woyangʼanira ndende uja sankayangʼaniranso china chilichonse chimene chinali mu ulamuliro wa Yosefe, chifukwa Yehova anali ndi Yosefe. Ndipo Yehova anaonetsetsa kuti chilichonse chimene Yosefe ankachita chimuyendere bwino.
