Mose 1 39
1 Esi Ismaeletɔwo kplɔ Yosef yi Egipte la, wodzrae abe kluvi ene na Potifar, ame si nye Egipte fia, Farao ŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka. Eganye Farao ŋu dzɔlawo ƒe amegã kple aƒedzikpɔlawo ƒe amega hã.
UJosefa wathathwa wasiwa eGibhithe. UPhothifa, owayengomunye wezikhulu zikaFaro, eyindunankulu yabalindi, wamthenga kuma-Ishumayeli abayibo abamletha khona.
2 Yehowa yra Yosef le eƒe aƒetɔ si nye Egiptetɔ la ƒe aƒe me ale gbegbe be nu sia nu si wòwɔna la dzea edzi.
UThixo wayelaye uJosefa, waphumelela, wahlala endlini yenkosi yakhe umGibhithe.
3 Potifar de dzesii be Yehowa li kple Yosef le mɔ tɔxɛ aɖe nu,
Kwathi inkosi yakhe ikubona ukuthi uThixo wayelaye lokuthi uThixo wamphumelelisa kukho konke ayekwenza,
4 eya ta Potifar lɔ̃ Yosef. Etsɔe ɖo eƒe aƒemenuwo kple eƒe dɔwɔnawo dzi kpɔkpɔ nu.
uJosefa wasethandeka kuye wasesiba yinceku yakhe. UPhothifa wasembeka ukuba ngumphathi womuzi wakhe, kwathi konke ayelakho wakubeka ezandleni zakhe.
5 Enumake Yehowa de asi Potifar yayra me ɖe Yosef ta. Eƒe aƒemenyawo katã tsɔ afɔ nyuie; eƒe agblemenukuwo ʋã nyuie, eye eƒe lãwo hã dzi ɖe edzi,
Kusukela ngesikhathi embeka ukuba ngumphathi womuzi wakhe lakho konke okwakungokwakhe, uThixo wawubusisa umuzi womGibhithe ngenxa kaJosefa. Isibusiso sikaThixo saba phezu kwakho konke uPhothifa ayelakho, loba kusendlini loba kusensimini.
6 eya ta Potifar tsɔ nu siwo katã nɔ esi la dzi kpɔkpɔ de esi. Zi ale si Yosef li ko la, megatsia dzi ɖe naneke ŋu o, negbe nu si wòadi be yeaɖu ko! Ke Yosef nye ɖekakpui dzeɖekɛ aɖe.
Ngakho watshiya konke okwakhe ezandleni zikaJosefa; kwathi ngoba uJosefa enguye ophetheyo wakhohlwa ngakho konke ngaphandle kokudla ayekudla. UJosefa lo wayemi kuhle, ebukeka,
7 Le ɣeyiɣi siawo me la, Potifar srɔ̃ de asi ahiãmoɖoɖo na Yosef me, eye gbe ɖeka la, egblɔ na Yosef be wòadɔ kpli ye.
kwasekusithi ngemva kwesikhathi inkosikazi yenkosi yakhe yambuka, yamfisa uJosefa yathi, “Woza engutsheni lami!”
8 Yosef gbe hegblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, nye aƒetɔ ka ɖe dzinye, eye wòtsɔm ɖo eƒe aƒemenuwo katã nu.
Kodwa wala. Wamtshela wathi, “Njengoba kuyimi engiphetheyo, inkosi yami kayizihluphi ngalutho emzini wayo; yonke into elayo iyibeke ezandleni zami.
9 Ŋusẽ megale esi wum le aƒe sia me o! Meɖe naneke le nye dzikpɔkpɔ te o, negbe wò ko, elabena srɔ̃e nènye. Aleke mate ŋu awɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi, ŋutasẽnu sia tɔgbi? Anye nu vɔ̃ gã aɖe mawɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu.”
Kakho omkhulu kulami kulumuzi. Inkosi yami kayingalisi lutho ngaphandle kwakho, ngoba wena ungumkayo. Pho ngingayenza kanjani into embi kanje, ngenze isono kuNkulunkulu na?”
10 Ke Potifar srɔ̃ ganɔ nya la ƒom ɖe Yosef nu kokoko gbe sia gbe, gake Yosef do tokui, eye wòdea axa nɛ ale si wòate ŋui.
Kwathi loba emphikelela uJosefa insuku ngensuku, wala ukulala laye wala lokuthi ahlale laye.
11 Gbe ɖeka esi Yosef nɔ eƒe aƒemedɔwo wɔm, eye ame bubu aɖeke menɔ afi ma lɔƒo o la,
Ngolunye usuku wangena endlini ukuqhuba umsebenzi wakhe, izisebenzi zasendlini zingekho phakathi endlini.
12 Potifar srɔ̃ va lé awu ɖe Yosef ŋu, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Dɔ gbɔnye!” Yosef ʋli le esi, ke le ʋiʋlia me la, eƒe dziwui tsi nyɔnu la si. Yosef si do le xɔa me.
UmkaPhothifa wambamba ngesigqoko wathi, “Woza engutsheni ulale lami!” Kodwa waphunyuka wabaleka waphuma endlini, isigqoko sakhe sasala esandleni sowesifazane.
13 Esi Potifar srɔ̃ kpɔ be eƒe awu tsi ye si, eye wòsi dzo la,
Kwathi ebona ukuthi utshiye isigqoko sakhe esandleni sakhe njalo wabaleka endlini,
14 eyɔ eƒe subɔlawo, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mikpɔ ɖa, wokplɔ Hebri ɖekakpui sia vɛ be wòado ŋukpe mí! Eva afi sia be yeadɔ kplim, ke medo ɣli.
owesifazane wamemeza izisebenzi zendlini wathi kuzo, “Khangelani, umHebheru lo walethwa lapha ukuzadlala ngathi! Ungene lapha efuna ukulala lami, kodwa ngahlaba umkhosi.
15 Esi wòse medo ɣli be amewo nava xɔ nam la, egblẽ eƒe awu ɖe gbɔnye, eye wòsi do go le aƒea me.”
Uthe esizwa ngihlaba umkhosi ngidinga uncedo, wasetshiya isigqoko sakhe eceleni kwami wabaleka waphuma endlini.”
16 Etsɔ awu la dzra ɖo, eye esi srɔ̃a gbɔ fiẽ ma la,
Wasigcina isigqoko eceleni kwakhe inkosi kaJosefa yaze yabuya ngekhaya.
17 egblɔ nya blibo la nɛ be, “Hebri kluvi ma si nèkplɔ va afi sia la di be yeadɔ gbɔnye sesẽtɔe.
Waseyitshela indaba le wathi: “Isigqili somHebheru lesiyana owasilethela sona sifikile kimi ukuzadlala ngami.
18 Nye ɣlidodo koe ɖem tso eƒe asi me. Esi dzo hegblẽ eƒe awu ɖe megbe!”
Kodwa ngonele ukuthi ngihlabe umkhosi ngidinga uncedo, satshiya isigqoko saso eceleni kwami sabaleka saphuma endlini.”
19 Esi Potifar se nya sia la, edo dɔmedzoe.
Kwathi inkosi yakhe isizwile indaba eyayitshelwa ngumfazi esithi, “Singenze njalo isigqili sakho,” yathukuthela kakhulu.
20 Elé Yosef de gaxɔ me, afi si wodea ga fia Farao ƒe gaxɔmenɔlawo ɖo.
Inkosi yakhe uJosefa yamthatha yamphosela entolongweni, indawo lapho okwakuvalelwa khona izibotshwa zenkosi. Kodwa kwathi uJosefa ekhonapho entolongweni,
21 Ke Yehowa ganɔ kple Yosef le afi ma hã; eve enu, eye wòna gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã ƒe dɔ me trɔ ɖe eŋu.
uThixo waba laye; wamenzela umusa wamenza wathandeka emehlweni omphathijele.
22 Eteƒe medidi o la, gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã la tsɔ gaxɔa dzi kpɔkpɔ de asi na Yosef, eye gaxɔmenɔla bubuawo katã nɔ ete.
Ngakho-ke umphathijele wamkhweza wamenza umphathi wabo bonke ababebotshiwe besentolongweni, njalo kwaba nguye okhangele konke okwakusenziwa khona.
23 Gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã megatsia dzi ɖe naneke ŋuti o, elabena Yosef kpɔa nu sia nu dzi nyuie. Yehowa nɔ kplii, eye nu sia nu dze edzi nɛ nyuie.
Umphathijele kazange azihluphe loba ngani eyayiphethwe nguJosefa ngoba uThixo wayelaye uJosefa, wamupha impumelelo kukho konke ayekwenza.
