Genesis 39
1 Now, Joseph, was taken down to Egypt, —and Potiphar, courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners, an Egyptian bought him, at the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.
Awo Yusufu bwe yatwalibwa e Misiri, Potifali omukungu wa Falaawo, omukulu w’abambowa Omumisiri n’amugula okuva ku Bayisimayiri abaamutwala e Misiri.
2 And it came to pass that Yahweh, was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man, —and was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.
Mukama n’aba ne Yusufu n’aba n’omukisa ng’ali mu nnyumba ya mukama we Omumisiri.
3 And his lord saw, that, Yahweh, was with him—and that whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper in his hand.
Ne mukama we n’alaba nga Mukama amuwadde omukisa mu buli ky’akola.
4 So Joseph found favour in his eyes and waited upon him, —and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had, gave he into his hand.
Awo Yusufu n’aganja nnyo mu maaso ga mukama we, n’amulabiriranga, n’amufuula omukulu we nnyumba ye ne byonna bye yalina.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian, for Joseph’s sake, —yea it came to pass, that the blessing of Yahweh, was with all that he had, in the house and in the field;
Okuva olwo Mukama n’awa omukisa ennyumba y’Omumisiri olwa Yusufu. Omukisa gwa Mukama ne guba ku byonna bye yalina, mu nnyumba ne mu nnimiro.
6 so that he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and took note with him of nothing, save only the bread which, he himself, was eating. And so it was that Joseph was comely in form and comely in countenance.
Awo Omumisiri n’ateeka byonna mu mikono gya Yusufu. Yusufu n’avunaanyizibwanga byonna okuggyako emmere mukama we gye yalyanga. Kyokka Yusufu yali mulungi nnyo, mubalagavu.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, —and she said—Come! lie with me.
Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebbanga eriwerako, mukyala wa mukama we namutunuulira n’okwegomba era n’amugamba nti, “Weebake nange.”
8 And he refused and said unto his lord’s wife, Lo! my lord, taketh no note with me as to what is in the house, —but, all that pertaineth to him, hath he delivered into my hand:
Naye Yusufu n’agaana, n’agamba mukazi wa mukama we nti, “Laba, mukama wange yankwasa byonna ebiri mu nnyumba, n’abiteeka byonna mu mikono gyange,
9 There is no one greater in this house than I, neither hath he withheld from me anything, save only thyself in that thou, art his wife, —how, then could I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
era tewali n’omu ansinga mu nnyumba ye, tewali na kimu ky’atankwasa okuggyako ggwe, kubanga ggwe oli mukazi we. Kale nnyinza ntya okuyingira mu kwonoona okwenkanidde awo n’okusobya eri Katonda?”
10 And it came to pass, that although she Spake unto Joseph day after day, yet hearkened he not unto her to lie beside her to be with her.
Newaakubadde muka mukama we yamutayirira, Yusufu ye teyamuwulira na mulundi na gumu.
11 And it came to pass, when, on a certain day, he went into the house to attend to his business, —and there was no man of the household, there in the house,
Naye lwali lumu Yusufu bwe yayingira mu nju okukola emirimu gye nga tewali n’omu mu nnyumba,
12 that she caught him by his garment, saying—Come! lie with me. Then left he his garment in her hand, and fled and gat forth outside,
muka mukama we n’akwata ekyambalo kya Yusufu nga bw’agamba nti, “Weegatte nange.” Yusufu n’amwesimatulako, ekyambalo kye ne kisigala mu ngalo z’omukazi wa mukama we. Ye n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.
13 And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, —and fled forth outside,
Naye omukazi bwe yalaba ng’asigazza ekyambalo kya Yusufu,
14 that she cried out to the men of her house and spake to them, saying, Look ye! he hath brought in to us a Hebrew man to insult us, —He came in unto me, to lie with me, so I cried out with a loud voice.
n’ayita abasajja ab’omu nnyumba ye n’abagamba nti, “Mulabe, yatuleetera Omwebbulaniya okutuduulira, yazze gye ndi okwebaka nange,
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted high my voice, and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled and gat forth outside.
bw’awulidde nga ndeekaana n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.”
16 So she laid by his garment beside her, —until his lord should come into his house,
Awo kwe kutereka ekyambalo okutuusa mukama wa Yusufu lwe yadda eka.
17 Then spake she unto him, according to these words, saying, —He hath been in unto me—the Hebrew servant whom thou didst bring in to us—to insult me.
Omukyala n’abuulira bba byonna ng’agamba nti, “Omuddu Omwebbulaniya gwe watuleetera, yayingidde gye ndi okunjooga.
18 And it came to pass when I lifted high my voice and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled outside.
Naye nabadde nakaleekaana, n’aleka ekyambalo kye gye ndi, n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.”
19 And it came to pass, when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spake unto him saying, According to these words, hath thy servant done to me, Then was kindled his anger.
Awo mukama wa Yusufu bwe yawulira ebigambo omukazi bye yamutegeeza ng’agamba nti, “Bw’ati ne bw’ati omuddu wo bwe yampisizza,” obusungu bwa bba ne bubuubuuka.
20 So Joseph’s lord took him and delivered him up to the prison: the place where, the prisoners of the king, were imprisoned, —so he was there, in the prison.
Mukama wa Yusufu n’akwata Yusufu n’amuteeka mu kkomera omwasibirwanga abazzizza emisango eri kabaka.
21 And it came to pass that, Yahweh, was with Joseph, and extended unto him lovingkindness, —and gave him his favour in the eyes of the chief of the prison.
Naye Mukama n’abeera ne Yusufu, n’amulaga okwagala kwe okutalojjeka. N’aganja nnyo mu maaso g’omukuumi w’ekkomera.
22 So the chief of the prison delivered up, into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison, —and of all that was doing there, he, was the doer.
Omukuumi w’ekkomera n’ateeka abasibe bonna mu mikono gya Yusufu, era buli ekyakolebwanga nga Yusufu y’akirinako obuvunaanyizibwa.
23 After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand, —in that Yahweh, was with him, and whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.
Omukuumi w’ekkomera nga tafaayo ku buli ekyalinga mu mikono gya Yusufu, kubanga Mukama yali naye, era Mukama n’amuwa omukisa mu buli kye yakolanga.
