< Genesis 39 >
1 Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh who was captain of the guard and an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
Na rĩrĩ, Jusufu nĩaikũrũkirio o nginya bũrũri wa Misiri. Nake Potifaru, Mũmisiri ũmwe wa anene a Firaũni, na mũrũgamĩrĩri wa arangĩri a Firaũni, akĩmũgũra kuuma kũrĩ Aishumaeli arĩa maamũtwarĩte kũu.
2 Yahweh was with Joseph and he became a prosperous man. He lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
Nake Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Jusufu, nake akĩgaacĩra, na agĩtũũra nyũmba-inĩ ya Mũmisiri ũcio mwathi wake.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was with him and that Yahweh prospered everything that he did.
Na rĩrĩa mwathi wake onire atĩ Jehova aarĩ hamwe nake, na atĩ Jehova nĩatũmĩte Jusufu agaacĩre maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga-rĩ,
4 Joseph found favor in his sight. He served Potiphar. Potiphar made Joseph manager over his house, and everything that he possessed, he put under his care.
Jusufu agĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ make na agĩtuĩka wa kũmũtungatĩra. Potifaru akĩmũtua mũrori wa nyũmba yake na akĩmwĩhokera ũmenyereri wa kĩrĩa gĩothe aarĩ nakĩo.
5 It came about from the time that he made him manager over his house and over everything he possessed, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph. The blessing of Yahweh was on everything that Potiphar had in the house and in the field.
Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aamũtuire mũrori wa nyũmba yake na kĩrĩa gĩothe aarĩ nakĩo, Jehova akĩrathima nyũmba ya Mũmisiri ũcio nĩ ũndũ wa Jusufu. Kĩrathimo kĩa Jehova kĩarĩ igũrũ wa indo ciothe cia Potifaru, iria ciarĩ nyũmba o na iria ciarĩ mũgũnda.
6 Potiphar put everything that he had under Joseph's care. He did not have to think about anything except the food that he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and attractive.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtigĩra Jusufu indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio acimenyagĩrĩre; rĩrĩa rĩothe Jusufu aarĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri-rĩ, Potifaru ndarũmbũyanagia na kĩndũ o nakĩ tiga o irio iria aarĩĩaga. Na rĩrĩ, Jusufu aarĩ mũthaka na wa mwĩrĩ mwega,
7 It came about after this that his master's wife lusted for Joseph. She said, “Sleep with me.”
na thuutha wa ihinda, mũtumia wa mwathi wake akĩmwĩrirĩria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka ũkome na niĩ!”
8 But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Look, my master does not pay attention to what I do in the house, and he has put everything that he owns under my care.
No Jusufu akĩrega. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ mũrori-rĩ, mwathi wakwa ndarũmbũyanagia na kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩa nyũmba, indo iria ciothe arĩ nacio nĩanjĩĩhokeire ndĩcimenyagĩrĩre.
9 No one is greater in this house than I am. He has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ mũnene nyũmba ĩno ũngĩrĩte. Mwathi wakwa ndangirĩrĩirie kĩndũ o nakĩ, tiga wee wiki, tondũ ũrĩ mũtumia wake. Ndaakĩhota atĩa gwĩka ũndũ ta ũyũ wa waganu njĩhĩrie Ngai?”
10 She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her or to be with her.
Na o na gũtuĩka nĩaringagĩrĩria Jusufu mũthenya o mũthenya akome nake-rĩ, Jusufu nĩaregire gũkoma nake o na kana gũkorwo hamwe nake.
11 It came about one day that he went into the house to do his work. None of the men of the house were there in the house.
No mũthenya ũmwe Jusufu nĩaingĩrire nyũmba kũruta wĩra wake, na gũtiarĩ ndungata o na ĩmwe ya nyũmba yarĩ kũu thĩinĩ.
12 She caught him by his clothes and said, “Sleep with me.” He left his clothing in her hand, fled, and went outside.
Mũtumia ũcio akĩnyiita nguo ya Jusufu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka ũkome na niĩ!” No Jusufu agĩtiga nguo yake guoko-inĩ kwa mũtumia ũcio, akiuma nyũmba akĩũra.
13 It came about, when she saw that he had left his clothing in her hand and had fled outside,
Na rĩrĩa mũtumia ũcio onire atĩ Jusufu nĩatiga nguo yake guoko-inĩ gwake na oora-rĩ,
14 that she called to the men of her house and told them, “See, Potiphar has brought in a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I screamed.
agĩĩta ndungata cia nyũmba yake, agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta kĩonei Mũhibirania ũyũ aarehirwo kũrĩ ithuĩ nĩgeetha atũnyarare! Egũũkĩte haha nĩguo akome na niĩ, na niĩ ndakaya.
15 It came about when he heard me scream, that he left his clothing with me, fled, and went outside.”
Na rĩrĩa aigua ngĩkaya ndeithio, aatiga nguo yake haha, oima nyũmba na oora.”
16 She set his clothing next to her until his master came home.
Nake agĩikara na nguo ĩyo nginya rĩrĩa mwathi wa Jusufu aainũkire.
17 She told him this explanation, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us, came in to mock me.
Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũhe rũgano rũu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngombo ĩrĩa ya Mũhibirania, ĩrĩa watũreheire ĩgũũkĩte kũrĩ niĩ kũnyarara.
18 It came about that when I screamed, he left his clothing with me and fled outside.”
No rĩrĩa njugire mbu ndeithio, yatiga nguo ĩno harĩ niĩ, yoima nyũmba na yora.”
19 It came about that, when his master heard the explanation his wife told him, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became very angry.
Rĩrĩa mwathi wa Jusufu aiguire rũgano rũu aaheirwo nĩ mũtumia wake, rĩrĩa aamwĩrire, “Ũguo nĩguo ngombo yaku ĩnjĩkire,” agĩcinwo nĩ marakara.
20 Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. He was there in the prison.
Nake mwathi wa Jusufu akĩnyiita Jusufu akĩmũikia njeera, kũndũ kũrĩa gwaikagio andũ arĩa oohe a mũthamaki. No hĩndĩ ĩyo Jusufu aarĩ kũu njeera-rĩ,
21 But Yahweh was with Joseph and showed covenant faithfulness to him. He gave him favor in the sight of the prison warden.
Jehova aarĩ hamwe nake; akĩmũtuga na agĩtũma etĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ ma mũnene wa njeera.
22 The prison warden gave into Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, Joseph was in charge of it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnene wa njeera agĩtua Jusufu mũrori wa arĩa othe moohetwo njeera, na agĩtuuo mũmenyereri wa maũndũ mothe marĩa meekagwo kũu.
23 The prison warden did not worry about anything that was in his hand, because Yahweh was with him. Whatever he did, Yahweh prospered.
Mũnene ũcio wa njeera ndaarũmbũyagia ũndũ o na ũmwe wa marĩa maamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Jusufu, tondũ Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Jusufu na akĩmũhe ũgaacĩru maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga.
