< 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).
At ibinaba si Jose sa Egipto; at binili siya ni Potiphar, puno ni Faraon, na kapitan ng bantay, na lalaking taga Egipto, sa kamay ng mga Ismaelita na nagdala sa kaniya roon.
2 Because Yahweh helped Joseph, he was able to do his work very well, and lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
At ang Panginoon ay suma kay Jose, at naging lalaking mapalad; at siya'y nasa bahay ng kaniyang panginoong taga Egipto.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was helping Joseph and enabling him to be successful in everything that he did.
At nakita ng kaniyang panginoon, na ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at ang lahat ng kaniyang ginagawa ay pinagpapala ng Panginoon sa kaniyang kamay.
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.
At nakasumpong si Jose ng biyaya sa kaniyang paningin, at pinaglingkuran niya siya: at sa kaniya'y ipinamahala niya ang bahay, at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik ay isinakaniyang kamay.
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.
At nangyari, na mula sa panahon na siya'y pamahalain sa kaniyang bahay, at sa lahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik, ay pinagpala ng Panginoon ang bahay ng taga Egiptong yaon dahil kay Jose; at ang pagpapala ng Panginoon ay sumalahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik, sa bahay at sa parang.
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.
At kaniyang ipinamahala ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik sa kamay ni Jose; at hindi siya nakikialam ng anomang kaniya, liban sa tinapay na kaniyang kinakain. At si Jose ay may magandang pagmumukha at kahalihalina.
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!”
At nangyari, pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, na tinitigan si Jose ng asawa ng kaniyang panginoon at sinabi, Sipingan mo ako.
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.
Datapuwa't siya'y tumanggi at sinabi niya sa asawa ng kaniyang panginoon, Narito, ang aking panginoon ay hindi nakikialam sa akin tungkol sa nasa bahay, at lahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik ay ipinamahala sa aking kamay;
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!”
Walang sinomang dakila kay sa akin sa bahay na ito; walang ipinagkait sa aking anomang bagay, kung di ikaw lamang, sapagka't ikaw ay kaniyang asawa: paano ngang aking magagawa itong malaking kasamaan, at kasalanan laban sa Dios?
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.
At nangyari, na nakikiusap man siya kay Jose araw-araw, ay hindi nakikinig sa kaniya na siya'y sipingan, o pakisamahan.
11 One day Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the other household servants were in the house.
At nangyari nang panahong ito, na siya'y pumasok sa bahay upang gawin niya ang kaniyang gawain at wala sinoman sa mga tao sa bahay doon sa loob.
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!
At siya'y pinigilan niya sa kaniyang suot, na sinasabi, Sipingan mo ako: at iniwan niya ang kaniyang suot sa kamay niya at tumakas, at lumabas.
13 When she saw that he had run outside leaving his cloak in her hand,
At nangyari, na pagkakita niyang iniwan ang kaniyang suot sa kamay niya, at tumakas sa labas,
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.
Na siya'y tumawag ng mga tao sa kaniyang bahay, at sinalita sa kanila, na sinasabi, Tingnan ninyo, na dinalhan niya tayo ng isang Hebreo, upang tayo'y tuyain; pinasok niya ako upang ako'y sipingan, at ako'y naghihiyaw ng malakas:
15 As soon as he heard me scream loudly, he left his loincloth with me and ran outside!”
At nangyari nang marinig niyang ako'y nagtaas ng tinig at naghihiyaw, na iniwan ang kaniyang suot sa aking siping, at tumakas, at lumabas.
16 She kept the loincloth beside her until her husband, Joseph’s master, came home.
At kaniyang iningatan ang suot niya sa kaniyang siping, hanggang sa umuwi ang kaniyang panginoon sa kaniyang bahay.
17 Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me!
At sinalita niya sa kaniya ng ayon sa mga salitang ito, na sinasabi, Pinasok ako ng aliping Hebreo na iyong dinala sa atin, upang tuyain ako:
18 As soon as I screamed loudly, he ran outside, leaving me holding his loincloth!”
At nangyari, na sapagka't nagtaas ako ng aking tinig at ako'y naghihiyaw, ay kaniyang iniwan ang suot niya sa aking siping, at tumakas sa labas.
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.
At nangyari, na pagkarinig ng kaniyang panginoon ng mga salita na sinalita sa kaniya ng kaniyang asawa, na sinasabi, Ganitong paraan ang ginawa sa akin ng iyong alipin; ay nagalab ang kaniyang galit.
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.
At dinala ng kaniyang panginoon si Jose, at inilagay sa bilangguan, sa dakong pinagkukulungan ng mga bilanggo ng hari: at siya'y natira roon sa bilangguan.
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.
Datapuwa't ang Panginoon ay suma kay Jose, at iginawad sa kaniya ang awa, at pinagkalooban ng biyaya sa paningin ng katiwala sa bilangguan.
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.
At ipinamahala ng katiwala sa bilangguan sa mga kamay ni Jose ang lahat na mga bilanggo na nasa bilangguan; at ang lahat ng ginagawa roon ay siya ang gumagawa.
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.
Hindi tinitingnan ng katiwala ng bilangguan ang anomang bagay na nasa kaniyang kamay, sapagka't ang Panginoo'y suma kay Jose; at ang kaniyang ginagawa ay pinagpapala ng Panginoon.
