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).

Josefena avre'za Isipi mopare vazageno, Fero avate vugota huno kegava nehia ne' Potifa'a Ismael vahe'mo'za avre'za vu'naza vahepinti miza huno avrente'ne.

2 Because Yahweh helped Joseph, he was able to do his work very well, and lived in the house of his Egyptian master.

Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'negeno, maka eri'zama'amo'a knare'zanke hu'ne. Josefe'a ozafa'amofo nompi Isipi mani'ne.

3 His master saw that Yahweh was helping Joseph and enabling him to be successful in everything that he did.

Ozafa'amo'ma keana Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'negeno, eri'za kama'amo'a agri azantera knare zanke hu'ne.

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.

Ana higeno, ozafa'amo'a Josefena antahimino, avate eri'za ne' azeri oti'ne. Ana nehuno noma'ane maka'zama'a Josefe azampi antegeno kegava krinte'ne.

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.

Isipi ne'mo'ma ana'ma hianknareti agafa huno Josefe'ma noma'afi mani'negu huno Potifana mika nompi zane, fegi'a hozafi zanena Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunte'ne.

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.

Maka'zana Potifa'a Josefe azampi antegeno kegava krigeno, maka zankura agesa ontahi'neanki, kave'ma nesia zankuke hu'ne. Hagi Josefena agi'avugosamo'ene, agia azamo'enene, avufgamo'enena knare'za huno soe zanke hu'ne.

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!”

Anazama nehifina ozafa'amofo nenaro'a Josefena kesane nehuno anage hu'ne, Enka nagrane emaso.

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.

Hianagi agra ana kegura i'o nehuno, ozafa'amofo nenarona anage huno asami'ne, Antahio, nagrama ama nompima mani'nogeno'a ozafanimo'a maka'zankura agesa nontahie. Maka'zama ante'nea zana nagri nazampi kegava kri'nuegu ante'ne.

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!”

Mago agateresa nera ama nompina omani'ne, nagrake mani'noankino, mikazana nagri nazampi anteno kegava huo hu'neanagi, kagri kaziga antenka mase huno hu izo huonantene. Na'ankure kagra nenaroga mani'nane. Inankna hu'na nagra tusi'a kefo'zana erifore hu'na kumira Anumzamofo avufina hugahue?

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.

Ana a'mo'ma maka knafima Josefenku'ma masesu'e huge, erava'o huoma nehigeno'a, ke'a antahi omi'ne.

11 One day Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the other household servants were in the house.

Hagi mago zupa Josefe'a eri'za erinaku nompi marerigeno, ruga'a eri'za vahera ana nompina omani'nageno keteno,

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!

ozafa'amofo nenaro'a nakre ku'are avazu nehuno anage hu'ne, Nagrane emaso, higeno ana nakre ku'a azampi zafi netreno, freno megi'a atiramino vu'ne.

13 When she saw that he had run outside leaving his cloak in her hand,

Ozafa'amofo nenaro'ma keama Josefe'ma nakreku'ama azampi atreno freno fegi'a atiramigeno'a,

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.

ana a'mo'a noma'afi eri'za e'neriza vahe ke hige'za eme atru hazageno anage hu'ne, Keho, Hibru ne'ma avrenoma eme ante'nea ne'mo, nagri zokago renanteku ege'na krafa hu'noe.

15 As soon as he heard me scream loudly, he left his loincloth with me and ran outside!”

Antahige'na ranke hu'na krafama nehuana, nakre ku'a avateti zafitreno freno fegi'a vu'ne.

16 She kept the loincloth beside her until her husband, Joseph’s master, came home.

Anage huteno ana nakre ku'a ana a'mo'a tavaoma'are anteno mani'negeno neve'a nontega e'ne.

17 Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me!

Anante Potifa'a egeno, nenaro'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Miza e'ori kazokazo Hibru eri'za ne' avrenka eme tami'nana ne'mo, nagrite eno zokago renantenaku nehige'na,

18 As soon as I screamed loudly, he ran outside, leaving me holding his loincloth!”

rankema hu'na krafage hugeno'a, nakre ku'a atreno atiramino fegi'a freno vu'ne.

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.

Potifa nenaro'ma nevema asamino, miza e'ori kazokzo eri'za ne'kamo Josefe anahura nagrira hu'ne, hiankemo'a Potifa rimpamo'a teve re'ne.

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.

Ana higeno Josefena ozafa'amo'a avreno kini ne'mo'ma eri'za vahe'ama kinama hunezamantea kina nompi ome ante'ne.

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.

Ana hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'neno avesinteno azeri so'e nehigeno, kina nonte vugota hu'nea ne'mo'ma keana knare'za hu'ne.

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.

Kina nonte'ma vugote'nea ne'mo'a Josefena maka'a kina vahe'mokizmire kegava krinogu kva azeri oti'ne. Hagi inankna zama anampima haniazana agri azampi ante'ne.

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.

Kina nonte'ma vugote'nea ne'mo'ma Josefe azampima ante'nea zankura agesa ontahine. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agrane mani'negu huno, maka'zama Josefe'ma hiazana, aza nehigeno knare'zanke hu'ne.
