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.
Zvino Josefa akanga atorwa akaendeswa kuIjipiti. Potifa muIjipita uyo akanga ari mumwe wamachinda aFaro ari mukuru wavarindi, akamutenga kuvaIshumaeri avo vakanga vamuendesa ikoko.
2 And YHWH was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
Jehovha akanga ana Josefa uye akaita kuti abudirire, uye aigara mumba momuIjipita, tenzi wake.
3 And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
Tenzi wake akati achiona kuti Jehovha akanga anaye uye kuti Jehovha akamuita kuti abudirire muzvinhu zvose zvaakanga achiita,
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.
Josefa akawana nyasha pamberi pake uye akava mubatiri wake. Potifa akamuita kuti ave mutariri weimba yake, uye akamuita muchengeti wezvinhu zvose zvakanga zviri zvake.
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.
Kubvira panguva yaakamuisa kuti ave mutariri weimba yake nowezvinhu zvose zvaaiva nazvo, Jehovha akaropafadza imba yomuIjipita nokuda kwaJosefa. Maropafadzo aJehovha akanga ari pamusoro pezvinhu zvose zvakanga zviri zvaPotifa, zvose mumba nomumunda.
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.
Saka akaisa mumaoko aJosefa zvinhu zvose zvaakanga anazvo; Josefa ari mutariri, iye haana kumbova nehanya nezvimwe zvinhu kunze kwezvokudya zvaaidya bedzi. Zvino Josefa akanga akanyatsoumbwa, akanaka,
7 And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me."
uye shure kwechinguva mukadzi watenzi wake akatarira Josefa ndokubva ati kwaari, “Uya uzovata neni!”
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.
Asi akaramba. Akati kwaari, “Ini somutariri, tenzi wangu haana kuva nehanya nezvinhu zvose zviri mumba make; zvose zvaanazvo, akazviisa mumaoko angu.
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?"
Hamuna munhu mukuru muno mumba kupfuura ini. Tenzi wangu havana kundinyima kana chinhu chimwe zvacho kunze kwenyu, nokuti imi muri mukadzi wavo. Zvino ndingaitirei chinhu chakaipa kudai uye ndichitadzira Mwari?”
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.
Uye kunyange zvake aitaura naJosefa zuva nezuva, iye akaramba kuenda panhoo naye, kana kutombova naye.
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.
Rimwe zuva akapinda mumba kuti andoita mabasa ake, uye kwakanga kusina mumwe wavashandi vomumba aivamo.
12 She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
Akamubata nejasi rake uye akati, “Uya kumubhedha uzovata neni!” Asi akasiya jasi rake muruoko rwake akamhanya ndokubuda kunze kwemba.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
Akati aona kuti asiya jasi rake muruoko rwake uye kuti akanga abuda kunze kwemba,
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.
akadanidzira kuvashandi, akati, “Tarirai, muHebheru uyu akauyiswa kwatiri kuti azotidadira! Apinda muno kuti azovata neni, asi ndaridza mhere.
15 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
Paanzwa ndoridza mhere kuti ndibatsirwe, abva asiya jasi rake pandiri ndokutizira kunze kwemba.”
16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.
Akachengeta jasi rake parutivi pake kusvikira tenzi wake auya kumba.
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.'
Ipapo akamutaurira nyaya iyi akati, “Uya muranda wechiHebheru wamakauyisa kwatiri akauya kwandiri kuti azondidadira.
18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
Asi pandangoridza mhere kuti ndibatsirwe, akabva asiya jasi rake pandiri ndokutizira kunze kwemba.”
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.
Tenzi wake akati anzwa nyaya yaakaudzwa nomukadzi wake achiti, “Izvi ndizvo zvandakaitirwa nomuranda wako,” akavira nehasha.
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.
Tenzi waJosefa akamutora akamuisa mutorongo, nzvimbo yaichengeterwa vasungwa vamambo; saka akava mutorongo.
21 But YHWH was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Jehovha akava naJosefa; akamunzwira tsitsi akamuitira nyasha pamberi pomutariri womutorongo.
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.
Saka mutariri womutorongo akaita kuti Josefa ave mutariri wavose vaiva vakabatwa mutorongo, uye ndiye aiona nezvose zvaiitwa imomo.
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.
Mutariri wetorongo akanga asina hanya nechinhu chipi zvacho chaiva pasi paJosefa, nokuti Jehovha akanga ana Josefa uye akaita kuti abudirire pane zvose zvaaiita.
