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.
A i kawea iho a Hohepa ki Ihipa; na ka hokona ia e Potiwhara, he tangata nui na Parao, he rangatira no nga kaitiaki, he Ihipiana, i roto i nga ringa o nga Ihimaeri, nana nei ia i kawe ki reira.
2 Yahweh was with Joseph and he became a prosperous man. He lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
Na i a Hohepa a Ihowa, a he tangata whai rawa ia; i noho ano ia i roto i te whare o tona ariki, o te Ihipiana.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was with him and that Yahweh prospered everything that he did.
A i kite tona ariki kei a ia a Ihowa, pono tonu hoki i a Ihowa nga mahi katoa a tona ringa.
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.
Na ka manakohia a Hohepa e ia, ka mahi ia ki a ia: a ka waiho ia hei kaitirotiro mo tona whare, a ka homai e ia ana mea katoa ki tona ringa.
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.
A, i a ia ka waiho nei hei kaitirotiro mo tona whare, mo ana mea katoa, na ka manaakitia e Ihowa te whare o te Ihipiana he whakaaro ki a Hohepa; i runga ano i ana mea katoa te manaaki a Ihowa, i te whare, i te mara.
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.
I waiho hoki e ia i te ringa a Hohepa ana mea katoa; kihai hoki i mohiotia e ia tetahi o ana mea, heoi ano ko te taro i kai ai ia. A he tangata ataahua a Hohepa, he pai hoki ia ki te titiro atu.
7 It came about after this that his master's wife lusted for Joseph. She said, “Sleep with me.”
A, i muri i enei mea, ka anga nga kanohi o te wahine a tona ariki ki a Hohepa; a ka mea ia, Takoto taua.
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.
A ka whakakahore ia, ka mea hoki ki te wahine a tona ariki, Na, e kore toku ariki e mohio ko te aha kei ahau i roto i te whare, kua homai nei hoki e ia ana mea katoa ki toku ringa;
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?”
Kahore tetahi i roto i tenei whare e nui ake i ahau; kahore ano hoki i kaiponuhia e ia tetahi mea ki ahau, ko koe anake, no te mea ko tana wahine koe: na, me pehea e mahi ai ahau i tenei kino nui, e hara ai ki te Atua?
10 She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her or to be with her.
Heoi korero noa ia ki a Hohepa i tenei ra, i tenei ra, a kihai ia rongo ki a ia, kia takoto tahi raua, kia noho tahi raua
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.
Na i taua wa ka haere a Hohepa ki te whare ki te mahi i tana mahi; a kahore tetahi o nga tangata o te whare i reira i roto i te whare.
12 She caught him by his clothes and said, “Sleep with me.” He left his clothing in her hand, fled, and went outside.
Na ka hopukia ia e ia, ara tona kakahu, ka mea, Takoto taua: na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki tona ringa, a rere ana, puta ana ki waho.
13 It came about, when she saw that he had left his clothing in her hand and had fled outside,
A, no tona kitenga kua whakarerea e ia tona kakahu i roto i tona ringa, a kua rere ki waho,
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.
Na ka karanga ia ki nga tangata o tona whare, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Titiro, kua kawea mai e ia tetahi Hiperu hei hangarau i a tatou; i haere mai ia ki ahau kia takoto maua, a he rahi toku reo ki te hamama:
15 It came about when he heard me scream, that he left his clothing with me, fled, and went outside.”
A, ka rongo ia he rahi toku reo ki te hamama, na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki ahau, a rere ana, puta ana ki waho.
16 She set his clothing next to her until his master came home.
Na ka waiho e ia tona kakahu ki tona taha, kia hoki mai ra ano tona ariki ki tona whare.
17 She told him this explanation, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us, came in to mock me.
A ka korero ia ki a ia, ko aua kupu ano, ka mea, I haere mai ki ahau taua pononga Hiperu, i kawea mai nei e koe ki a matou, ki te hangarau i ahau:
18 It came about that when I screamed, he left his clothing with me and fled outside.”
A, ka rahi toku reo ki te hamama, na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu ki ahau, a rere ana ki waho.
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.
A, ka rongo tona ariki i nga kupu a tana wahine i korero ai ia ki a ia, i mea ai, Ko nga mea enei i mea ai tau pononga ki ahau; na ka mura tona riri.
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.
A ka mau te ariki o Hohepa ki a ia, a maka ana ia ki te whare herehere, ki te wahi i herea ai nga herehere a te kingi: a noho ana ia i reira, i te whare herehere.
21 But Yahweh was with Joseph and showed covenant faithfulness to him. He gave him favor in the sight of the prison warden.
Otiia i a Hohepa a Ihowa, ka puta ano tona aroha ki a ia, a ka hoatu ki a ia kia manakohia ia e te rangatira o te whare herehere.
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.
A i tukua e te rangatira o te whare herehere ki te ringaringa o Hohepa nga herehere katoa i roto i te whare herehere: ko ia ano te kaimahi o nga mea katoa i meatia e ratou i reira.
23 The prison warden did not worry about anything that was in his hand, because Yahweh was with him. Whatever he did, Yahweh prospered.
Kihai te rangatira o te whare herehere i titiro ki tetahi o nga mea i tona ringa; no te mea i a ia a Ihowa, i mea ano a Ihowa kia pono tana i mea ai.
