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).
Leleꞌ naa, atahori Ismael ra ro Yusuf Masir neu. Sia naa, hambu malangga esa, nara na Potifar. Eni, malangga mia basa soldꞌadꞌu mana manea sia mane Masir ume panggat na. Potifar hasa nala Yusuf mia mana danggan ra, fo dadꞌi ate sia ume na. Sia naa, LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf, de ue-tatao nara basa se dadꞌi no maloleꞌ.
2 Because Yahweh helped Joseph, he was able to do his work very well, and lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was helping Joseph and enabling him to be successful in everything that he did.
Malangga na nita e tao ues malole na seli, ma nahine tebꞌe nae LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf.
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.
Naa de malangga na hii ma namahere e. De ana soꞌu e dadꞌi mandor sia umen. Ana fee ne tao mataꞌ neu umen ma basa hata-heton.
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.
Huu Yusuf leo sia naa, de Lamatualain o fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu malangga, atahori Masir naa. Ume isi nara, hata-heto na, osi na, no ue-tatao na o dadꞌi maloleꞌ.
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.
Huu Potifar mete Yusuf tao mataꞌ neu basa ue-tataos ra no maloleꞌ, naa de ana nda afiꞌ duꞌa saa saꞌ boe, nahineꞌ a naaꞌ a. Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf ia meulau na seli.
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!”
Ana nda feꞌe leo dooꞌ sia naa sa te, Potifar sao na nau no e. Boe ma ana kokoe Yusuf fo nae sungguꞌ no e.
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.
Te Yusuf nda nau sa. De nataa nae, “Afiꞌ taꞌo naa, inaꞌ! Te malangga ngga Potifar fee au koasa fo tao mataꞌ neu basa ue-tataos ra.
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!”
Sia ume ia, nda hambu atahori sa toꞌu koasa lenaꞌ au sa. Malangga fee au koasa basa ume isiꞌ a, akaꞌ a inaꞌ fo hokoꞌ. Taꞌo bee de au tao deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ naa. Naa o au labꞌan Lamatualain hihiin.”
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.
Te mae onaꞌ naa o, tungga fai, malangga sao na akaꞌ kokoe nakandooꞌ a. Te Yusuf nda tao afiꞌ neu e sa.
11 One day Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the other household servants were in the house.
Lao esa ma, Yusuf ume rala neu, de nae mete ues nara. Faiꞌ naa, atahori nese ume.
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!
Boe ma malangga sao na nema lea Yusuf badꞌu na, de nae, “Uma leo! Ia naa helaꞌ a hita ruꞌa nggita ena. Uma leo fo teu sungguꞌ.” Te Yusuf nda nau sa. De ana nalelea, sambe badꞌu na lufa hendiꞌ e. Boe ma ana nela dea neu. Te inaꞌ naa feꞌe toꞌu nahereꞌ badꞌu a.
13 When she saw that he had run outside leaving his cloak in her hand,
Ana nita Yusuf nela hela badꞌu na ma,
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 noꞌe atahori mana tao ues nara, de nafadꞌe nae, “We! Ima mita dei. Faꞌ ra tou Ibrani naa, masoꞌ au kama ngga. Ana nae parkosa au, te au nggasi uhereꞌ. Mete sie, ana hela badꞌu na, de nela dea neu. Au sao ngga nendi atahori ia nda maloleꞌ sa de tao naꞌamamaeꞌ a hita!”
15 As soon as he heard me scream loudly, he left his loincloth with me and ran outside!”
16 She kept the loincloth beside her until her husband, Joseph’s master, came home.
Boe ma ana toꞌu badꞌu naa losa sao na baliꞌ.
17 Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me!
Sao na baliꞌ ma, ana dui nae, “Aꞌa e! Atahori Ibrani fo aꞌa noꞌ a, faꞌ ra ana mia au kama ngga rala, nae parkosa au.
18 As soon as I screamed loudly, he ran outside, leaving me holding his loincloth!”
Te au randu uhereꞌ oꞌe atahori ra. De ana nela, lao hela badꞌu na.”
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.
Rena sao na dui taꞌo naa, boe ma Potifar namanasa seli.
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 denu reu toꞌu Yusuf, de tao e nisiꞌ maneꞌ a bui na rala.
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.
Te LAMATUALAIN nda liliiꞌ Yusuf sa. De Ana tulun e, losa malangga bui a o hii Yusuf,
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.
ma namahere e boe. De ana fee ne tao mataꞌ neu basa atahori bui ra, ma basa ue-tataos sia naa ra.
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.
Huu naa, malangga nda tao mataꞌ neu saa-saa sia bui rala sa ena. LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf nakandooꞌ a, de basa ue-tataos ra dadꞌi no maloleꞌ.
