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).
Adapun Yusuf telah dibawa ke Mesir; dan Potifar, seorang Mesir, pegawai istana Firaun, kepala pengawal raja, membeli dia dari tangan orang Ismael yang telah membawa dia ke situ.
2 Because Yahweh helped Joseph, he was able to do his work very well, and lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf, sehingga ia menjadi seorang yang selalu berhasil dalam pekerjaannya; maka tinggallah ia di rumah tuannya, orang Mesir itu.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was helping Joseph and enabling him to be successful in everything that he did.
Setelah dilihat oleh tuannya, bahwa Yusuf disertai TUHAN dan bahwa TUHAN membuat berhasil segala sesuatu yang dikerjakannya,
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.
maka Yusuf mendapat kasih tuannya, dan ia boleh melayani dia; kepada Yusuf diberikannya kuasa atas rumahnya dan segala miliknya diserahkannya pada kekuasaan Yusuf.
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.
Sejak ia memberikan kuasa dalam rumahnya dan atas segala miliknya kepada Yusuf, TUHAN memberkati rumah orang Mesir itu karena Yusuf, sehingga berkat TUHAN ada atas segala miliknya, baik yang di rumah maupun yang di ladang.
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.
Segala miliknya diserahkannya pada kekuasaan Yusuf, dan dengan bantuan Yusuf ia tidak usah lagi mengatur apa-apapun selain dari makanannya sendiri. Adapun Yusuf itu manis sikapnya dan elok parasnya.
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!”
Selang beberapa waktu isteri tuannya memandang Yusuf dengan berahi, lalu katanya: "Marilah tidur dengan aku."
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.
Tetapi Yusuf menolak dan berkata kepada isteri tuannya itu: "Dengan bantuanku tuanku itu tidak lagi mengatur apa yang ada di rumah ini dan ia telah menyerahkan segala miliknya pada kekuasaanku,
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!”
bahkan di rumah ini ia tidak lebih besar kuasanya dari padaku, dan tiada yang tidak diserahkannya kepadaku selain dari pada engkau, sebab engkau isterinya. Bagaimanakah mungkin aku melakukan kejahatan yang besar ini dan berbuat dosa terhadap Allah?"
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.
Walaupun dari hari ke hari perempuan itu membujuk Yusuf, Yusuf tidak mendengarkan bujukannya itu untuk tidur di sisinya dan bersetubuh dengan dia.
11 One day Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the other household servants were in the house.
Pada suatu hari masuklah Yusuf ke dalam rumah untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, sedang dari seisi rumah itu seorangpun tidak ada di rumah.
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!
Lalu perempuan itu memegang baju Yusuf sambil berkata: "Marilah tidur dengan aku." Tetapi Yusuf meninggalkan bajunya di tangan perempuan itu dan lari ke luar.
13 When she saw that he had run outside leaving his cloak in her hand,
Ketika dilihat perempuan itu, bahwa Yusuf meninggalkan bajunya dalam tangannya dan telah lari ke luar,
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.
dipanggilnyalah seisi rumah itu, lalu katanya kepada mereka: "Lihat, dibawanya ke mari seorang Ibrani, supaya orang ini dapat mempermainkan kita. Orang ini mendekati aku untuk tidur dengan aku, tetapi aku berteriak-teriak dengan suara keras.
15 As soon as he heard me scream loudly, he left his loincloth with me and ran outside!”
Dan ketika didengarnya bahwa aku berteriak sekeras-kerasnya, ditinggalkannyalah bajunya padaku, lalu ia lari ke luar."
16 She kept the loincloth beside her until her husband, Joseph’s master, came home.
Juga ditaruhnya baju Yusuf itu di sisinya, sampai tuan rumah pulang.
17 Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me!
Perkataan itu jugalah yang diceritakan perempuan itu kepada Potifar, katanya: "Hamba orang Ibrani yang kaubawa ke mari itu datang kepadaku untuk mempermainkan aku.
18 As soon as I screamed loudly, he ran outside, leaving me holding his loincloth!”
Tetapi ketika aku berteriak sekeras-kerasnya, ditinggalkannya bajunya padaku, lalu ia lari ke luar."
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.
Baru saja didengar oleh tuannya perkataan yang diceritakan isterinya kepadanya: begini begitulah aku diperlakukan oleh hambamu itu, maka bangkitlah amarahnya.
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.
Lalu Yusuf ditangkap oleh tuannya dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, tempat tahanan-tahanan raja dikurung. Demikianlah Yusuf dipenjarakan di sana.
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.
Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf dan melimpahkan kasih setia-Nya kepadanya, dan membuat Yusuf kesayangan bagi kepala penjara itu.
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.
Sebab itu kepala penjara mempercayakan semua tahanan dalam penjara itu kepada Yusuf, dan segala pekerjaan yang harus dilakukan di situ, dialah yang mengurusnya.
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.
Dan kepala penjara tidak mencampuri segala yang dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf, karena TUHAN menyertai dia dan apa yang dikerjakannya dibuat TUHAN berhasil.
