Genesis 39
1 And Joseph hath been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buyeth him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him thither.
Awo Yusufu bwe yatwalibwa e Misiri, Potifali omukungu wa Falaawo, omukulu w’abambowa Omumisiri n’amugula okuva ku Bayisimayiri abaamutwala e Misiri.
2 And Jehovah is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,
Mukama n’aba ne Yusufu n’aba n’omukisa ng’ali mu nnyumba ya mukama we Omumisiri.
3 and his lord seeth that Jehovah is with him, and all that he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper in his hand,
Ne mukama we n’alaba nga Mukama amuwadde omukisa mu buli ky’akola.
4 and Joseph findeth grace in his eyes and serveth him, and he appointeth him over his house, and all that he hath he hath given into his hand.
Awo Yusufu n’aganja nnyo mu maaso ga mukama we, n’amulabiriranga, n’amufuula omukulu we nnyumba ye ne byonna bye yalina.
5 And it cometh to pass from the time that he hath appointed him over his house, and over all that he hath, that Jehovah blesseth the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of Jehovah is on all that he hath, in the house, and in the field;
Okuva olwo Mukama n’awa omukisa ennyumba y’Omumisiri olwa Yusufu. Omukisa gwa Mukama ne guba ku byonna bye yalina, mu nnyumba ne mu nnimiro.
6 and he leaveth all that he hath in the hand of Joseph, and he hath not known anything that he hath, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a fair form, and of a fair appearance.
Awo Omumisiri n’ateeka byonna mu mikono gya Yusufu. Yusufu n’avunaanyizibwanga byonna okuggyako emmere mukama we gye yalyanga. Kyokka Yusufu yali mulungi nnyo, mubalagavu.
7 And it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord's wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, 'Lie with me;'
Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebbanga eriwerako, mukyala wa mukama we namutunuulira n’okwegomba era n’amugamba nti, “Weebake nange.”
8 and he refuseth, and saith unto his lord's wife, 'Lo, my lord hath not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he hath he hath given into my hand;
Naye Yusufu n’agaana, n’agamba mukazi wa mukama we nti, “Laba, mukama wange yankwasa byonna ebiri mu nnyumba, n’abiteeka byonna mu mikono gyange,
9 none is greater in this house than I, and he hath not withheld from me anything, except thee, because thou [art] his wife; and how shall I do this great evil? — then have I sinned against God.'
era tewali n’omu ansinga mu nnyumba ye, tewali na kimu ky’atankwasa okuggyako ggwe, kubanga ggwe oli mukazi we. Kale nnyinza ntya okuyingira mu kwonoona okwenkanidde awo n’okusobya eri Katonda?”
10 And it cometh to pass at her speaking unto Joseph day [by] day, that he hath not hearkened unto her, to lie near her, to be with her;
Newaakubadde muka mukama we yamutayirira, Yusufu ye teyamuwulira na mulundi na gumu.
11 and it cometh to pass about this day, that he goeth into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,
Naye lwali lumu Yusufu bwe yayingira mu nju okukola emirimu gye nga tewali n’omu mu nnyumba,
12 and she catcheth him by his garment, saying, 'Lie with me;' and he leaveth his garment in her hand, and fleeth, and goeth without.
muka mukama we n’akwata ekyambalo kya Yusufu nga bw’agamba nti, “Weegatte nange.” Yusufu n’amwesimatulako, ekyambalo kye ne kisigala mu ngalo z’omukazi wa mukama we. Ye n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.
13 And it cometh to pass when she seeth that he hath left his garment in her hand, and fleeth without,
Naye omukazi bwe yalaba ng’asigazza ekyambalo kya Yusufu,
14 that she calleth for the men of her house, and speaketh to them, saying, 'See, he hath brought in to us a man, a Hebrew, to play with us; he hath come in unto me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,
n’ayita abasajja ab’omu nnyumba ye n’abagamba nti, “Mulabe, yatuleetera Omwebbulaniya okutuduulira, yazze gye ndi okwebaka nange,
15 and it cometh to pass, when he heareth that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth, and goeth without.'
bw’awulidde nga ndeekaana n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.”
16 And she placeth his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord unto his house.
Awo kwe kutereka ekyambalo okutuusa mukama wa Yusufu lwe yadda eka.
17 And she speaketh unto him according to these words, saying, 'The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, hath come in unto me to play with me;
Omukyala n’abuulira bba byonna ng’agamba nti, “Omuddu Omwebbulaniya gwe watuleetera, yayingidde gye ndi okunjooga.
18 and it cometh to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth without.'
Naye nabadde nakaleekaana, n’aleka ekyambalo kye gye ndi, n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.”
19 And it cometh to pass when his lord heareth the words of his wife, which she hath spoken unto him, saying, 'According to these things hath thy servant done to me,' that his anger burneth;
Awo mukama wa Yusufu bwe yawulira ebigambo omukazi bye yamutegeeza ng’agamba nti, “Bw’ati ne bw’ati omuddu wo bwe yampisizza,” obusungu bwa bba ne bubuubuuka.
20 and Joseph's lord taketh him, and putteth him unto the round-house, a place where the king's prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-house.
Mukama wa Yusufu n’akwata Yusufu n’amuteeka mu kkomera omwasibirwanga abazzizza emisango eri kabaka.
21 And Jehovah is with Joseph, and stretcheth out kindness unto him, and putteth his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;
Naye Mukama n’abeera ne Yusufu, n’amulaga okwagala kwe okutalojjeka. N’aganja nnyo mu maaso g’omukuumi w’ekkomera.
22 and the chief of the round-house giveth into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he hath been doer;
Omukuumi w’ekkomera n’ateeka abasibe bonna mu mikono gya Yusufu, era buli ekyakolebwanga nga Yusufu y’akirinako obuvunaanyizibwa.
23 the chief of the round-house seeth not anything under his hand, because Jehovah [is] with him, and that which he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper.
Omukuumi w’ekkomera nga tafaayo ku buli ekyalinga mu mikono gya Yusufu, kubanga Mukama yali naye, era Mukama n’amuwa omukisa mu buli kye yakolanga.
