Genesis 39
1 Meanwhile, the descendants of Ishmael took Joseph down to Egypt. There Potiphar bought Joseph from them. Potiphar was an Egyptian who was one of the king’s officials and the captain of the king’s (palace guards/guards who protected the king).
Isiama: ile fi dunu da Yousefe amo Idibidi sogega oule asili, Bodifa (Idibidi hina bagade dunu ea sosodo aligisu dunu ilima hina dunu) ema bidi lai dagoi.
2 Because Yahweh helped Joseph, he was able to do his work very well, and lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
Hina Gode da Yousefe noga: le fidilalu. Ea hawa: hamosu da noga: idafa ba: i. E da ea Idibidi hina ea diasu ganodini esalu.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was helping Joseph and enabling him to be successful in everything that he did.
Bodifa da Hina Gode da Yousefe noga: le fidi amola ea hawa: hamosu da noga: idafa, amo ba: i dagoi.
4 Joseph’s master was pleased with him, so he appointed him to be his personal servant. Then he appointed him to be the one who would take care of everything in his household and all of his possessions.
Bodifa da ema hahawane bagade. E da Yousefe amo ea fidisu dunu ea diasu amola liligi huluane, amo ouligima: ne hamoi dagoi.
5 From the time Potiphar appointed Joseph to take care of everything in his household and all that he owned, Yahweh blessed the people who lived in Potiphar’s house because of Joseph. He also caused Potiphar’s crops to grow well.
Amalalu, Yousefe dawa: beba: le, Hina Gode da amo Idibidi dunuma hahawane dogolegele hamoi. Liligi huluane ea diasu ganodini amola ea soge ganodini, Gode da noga: le fidi.
6 Potiphar allowed Joseph to take care of everything that he owned. Potiphar needed to decide only about the food he ate. He was not concerned about anything else in his house. Joseph was well-built/muscular and handsome.
Bodifa da ea hou huluane ouligima: ne, Yousefema sia: i. Bodifa da liligi huluane mae dawa: le, ea ha: i manu fawane dawa: i galu. Yousefe ea da: i amola ea odagi, da ida: iwane ba: su.
7 Because of that, after a while, his master’s wife started to look fondly at Joseph. So one day she said to him, “Have sex [EUP] with me!”
Asili, Bodifa idua da Yousefe amo hanaiwane ba: lalu. E da ema gilisili golama: ne adole ba: lalu.
8 But he refused, saying to his master’s wife, “Listen! My master is not concerned about anything in this house. He has appointed me to take care of everything that he owns.
Yousefe da, “Hame mabu!” sia: i. Yousefe da ema amane sia: i, “Na da ouligibiba: le, na hina da ea diasu amola liligi amo hame dawa: lala. E da na ea liligi huluane ouligima: ne ilegei dagoi.
9 No one in this household has more authority than I do. The only thing that he has not allowed me to have is you, because you are his wife! So (how could I do this wicked thing [that you are asking me to do]?/I certainly could not do this wicked thing!) [RHQ] I would be sinning against God if I did that!”
Na da amo diasu ganodini, e defele hina hou hamosa. Liligi huluane e da nama i, be di fawane nama hame i. Na da habodane amo wadela: i hou hamoma: bela: ? Na da habodane Godema wadela: le hamoma: bela: ?”
10 She kept on asking Joseph day after day to have sex [EUP] with her, but he refused. He would not even go near her.
Bodifa idua da eso huluane mae fisili Yousefe da ema gilisili golamusa: sia: su, be Yousefe da ea sia: hame nabi.
11 One day Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the other household servants were in the house.
Be eso afaega, Yousefe da ea diasu ganodini ea hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne golili sa: ili, hawa: hamosu dunu eno hamedafa ba: i.
12 Potiphar’s wife grabbed his cloak and said, “Have sex [EUP] with me!” Joseph ran out of the house, but his cloak was still in her hand!
Bodifa idua da Yousefe ea abula gaguli, amane sia: i, “Nama gilisili golama!” Be e da ea abula fadegale, gadili hobea: i dagoi. Ea abula da Bodifa idua ea lobo ganodini gagui dialebe ba: i.
13 When she saw that he had run outside leaving his cloak in her hand,
E da Yousefe ea abula fisili gadili hobea: i dagoi amo ba: loba,
14 she called the household servants. She said to them, “Look! This Hebrew man that my husband brought to us is (insulting/trying to do something disgraceful to) us! He came into my room and tried to (rape me/make me have sex [EUP] with him), but I screamed loudly.
e da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilima welalu, amane sia: i, “Ba: ma! Amo Hibulu dunu nagoa da diasuga oule misi, amo da ninima gadele hamosa. E da na seseiga golili misini, na gasawane hi aie heda: le na wadela: lesimusa: dawa: i galu. Be na da bagade a: i gusa: i.
15 As soon as he heard me scream loudly, he left his loincloth with me and ran outside!”
E da na a: i gusa: i nababeba: le, ea abula fisili gadili hobea: i dagoi.”
16 She kept the loincloth beside her until her husband, Joseph’s master, came home.
Amo abula gaguli, e da Yousefe ea hina amo bu misa: ne ouesalu.
17 Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me!
Amalalu, e da Bodifama ea musa: sia: i defele olelei, amane, “Amo Hibulu udigili hawa: hamosu dunu di guiguda: oule misi da na sesei golili misini, nama hi aie heda: le wadela: le hamomusa: dawa: i galu.
18 As soon as I screamed loudly, he ran outside, leaving me holding his loincloth!”
Be na da bagade a: i gusa: ne, e da ea abula fisili, gadili hobea: i dagoi.”
19 When Joseph’s master heard this story that his wife told him, saying “This is how your slave treated me,” he was very angry.
Yousefe ea hina (Bodifa) da bagadewane mi hanai galu.
20 Joseph’s master took Joseph and put him in prison, the place where all the king’s prisoners were put, and Joseph stayed there.
Ea sia: beba: le, ilia Yousefe afugili, se iasu diasu (amo ganodini Idibidi hina bagade dunu da wadela: i hamosu dunu sanasu) amo ganodini ha: digili, Yousefe da amo ganodini esalu.
21 But Yahweh was kind to Joseph and helped him, and caused the (prison warden/man who was in charge of the prison) to be pleased with him.
Be Hina Gode da Yousefe hahawane dogolegele fidisu. Amola se iasu diasu ouligisu dunu da Yousefe ea hou hahawane ba: i.
22 So the prison warden put Joseph in charge of all those who were in the prison, and in charge of all the work that was done there.
E da Yousefe amo se iasu diasu hamosu dunu huluanema, ouligisu hamoi dagoi. Hou huluane amo se iasu diasu ganodini hamosu, amo huluane Yousefe hi da ouligilalu.
23 The warden was not concerned with anything that Joseph was taking care of, because Yahweh helped Joseph to do well everything that he did.
Se iasu diasu ouligisu hina da liligi huluane hame dawa: lalu. Bai Hina Gode da Yousefe noga: le fidisu. Ea hou huluane e da noga: le hamoi amola hahawane ba: i.
