< 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.
Mwet Ishmael elos usalla Joseph nu Egypt ac kukakunulla nu sel Potiphar, sie sin mwet fulat lal tokosra, su sifen mwet topang su taran inkul sin tokosra.
2 And YHWH was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac oru tuh ma nukewa el oru fahla wona ouiya. El muta yurin mwet kacto lal, sie mwet Egypt,
3 And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
su liye tuh na LEUM GOD El welul Joseph, ac LEUM GOD El oru in wo ouiyal Joseph in ma nukewa el oru.
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.
Potiphar el insewowo sel ac oru tuh elan mwet tutafpo lal. Ouinge el likilya elan leum fin lohm sel ac ma nukewa lal.
5 And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that YHWH blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of YHWH was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
Tukun pacl sac lac, LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye sou lun mwet Egypt sac ac ma nukewa in lohm sel ac in ima lal, ke sripal Joseph.
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.
Potiphar el fuhleang ma nukewa lal nu ye karinginyuk lal Joseph, ac el tia elya ke kutena ma sayen in sulela ma nal sifacna. Joseph el arulana oasku ac wo lumahl,
7 And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me."
ac tok kutu, mutan kien leum sac el mutawauk in lungseyak Joseph ac siyuk elan som oan yorol.
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.
Joseph el srangesr, ac el fahk nu sin mutan sac, “Nge, wangin elya lun leum luk ke kutena ma in lohm sel, mweyen el lulalfongiyu. El se ngan karingin ma nukewa lal.
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?"
Oasr ku luk in lohm se inge oana el, ac wangin kutena ma el sruok nu sik sayom. Fuka tuh ngan oru kain elahwet ingan ac orekma koluk lain God?”
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.
Mutan sac el ne kwafe nu sel Joseph pingana len elan oan yorol, a Joseph el tiana som welul oan.
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.
Tusruktu sie len ah, ke Joseph el som in oru orekma lal in lohm sac, wangin mwet kulansap saya oasr we.
12 She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
Mutan sac sruokya nuknuk lal Joseph, ac fahk, “Fahsru oan yuruk.” A Joseph el kaingla nu likin lohm sac, sisla na nuknuk lal ah yurin mutan sac.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
Ke mutan sac el liye lah Joseph el sisla nuknuk lal ah ac kaingla nu lik ah,
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.
el pang nu sin mwet kulansap lal lohm sac, ac fahk, “Ngetma liye ma se nge! Mwet Hebrew se ma mukul tumuk ah use nu lohm uh el aklusrongtenye kut. El utyak nu infukil sik ah, ac srike in sruinkuiyu, tuh nga liksrenina wowoyak ke kuiyuk.
15 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
Ke el lohng lah nga wowoyak, na el kaing nu likinuma, sisla nuknuk se lal inge siskuk.”
16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.
Mutan sac sruokya na nuknuk sac nwe ke na leum se lal Joseph ah tuku.
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.'
Na el srumunang pac sramsram sac nu sel. El fahk, “Mwet kohs Hebrew sac, ma kom use nu inge ah, el utyak nu infukil sik uh ac nunku elan sruinkuiyu.
18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
Tusruktu nga wowoyak, na el kaingla nu likinuma, sisla nuknuk lal ah siskuk.”
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.
Ke leum se lal Joseph el lohng ma mutan kial ac fahk inge, el foloyak,
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.
ac sap sruhu Joseph ac sisiyang el nu in presin, yen mwet kapir lun tokosra kapir we. Na el mutana we.
21 But YHWH was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac akinsewowoyal, pwanang mwet liyaung presin el kulang nu sel.
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.
El likilya Joseph elan sifen mwet kapir nukewa, ac sang elan fosrngakin ma nukewa ma orek in presin.
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.
Mwet liyaung presin el tia fosrngakin kutena ma su oan ye karinginyuk lal Joseph, mweyen LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac oru in wo ouiyal ke ma nukewa el oru.
