Farawa 39
1 To, aka kai Yusuf Masar, Fotifar wani mutumin Masar wanda yake ɗaya daga cikin hafsoshin Fir’auna, shugaban masu tsaro, ya saye shi daga mutanen Ishmayel waɗanda suka kai shi can.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
2 Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da Yusuf, Yusuf kuwa yi nasara, ya zauna a gidan mutumin Masar maigidansa.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Sa’ad da maigidansa ya ga cewa Ubangiji yana tare da Yusuf, kuma cewa Ubangiji ya ba shi nasara a kome da ya yi,
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 sai Yusuf ya sami tagomashi a idanunsa, ya kuma zama mai hidimarsa. Fotifar ya sa shi yă zama shugaba a gidansa, ya kuma danƙa masa kome da yake da shi.
And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
5 Daga lokacin da ya sa shi shugaban gidansa da kuma a kan dukan abin da yake da shi, sai Ubangiji ya albarkaci gidan mutumin Masar saboda Yusuf. Albarkar Ubangiji tana a kan kome da Fotifar yake da shi a gida da kuma a jeji.
And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
6 Saboda haka sai ya bar kome a ƙarƙashin kulawar Yusuf, bai dame kansa a wani abu ba sai dai abincin da yake ci. To, fa, Yusuf ƙaƙƙarfa ne, kyakkyawa kuma,
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
7 bayan an ɗan jima sai matar maigidansa ta fara sha’awar Yusuf, sai ta ce, “Zo ka kwana da ni!”
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
8 Amma ya ƙi. Ya ce mata, “Ga shi kome yana a ƙarƙashina, don haka ne ma maigidana bai dami kansa da wani abu a cikin gidan nan ba; kome da ya mallaka, ya danƙa ga kulawata.
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
9 Babu wani da ya fi ni a wannan gida. Maigidana bai hana ni kome ba sai ke, saboda ke matarsa ce. Yaya fa, zan yi irin wannan mugun abu, in yi zunubi wa Allah?”
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 Ko da yake ta yi ta yin wa Yusuf maganar kowace rana, amma ya ƙi yă kwana da ita, ko ma yă zauna da ita.
And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
11 Wata rana, ya shiga cikin gida don yă yi ayyukansa, ba wani daga cikin bayin gidan da yake ciki.
that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
12 Sai ta cafke shi a riga, ta ce, “Zo ka kwana da ni!” Amma ya bar rigarsa a hannunta, ya gudu ya fita daga gidan.
Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
13 Sa’ad da ta ga ya bar rigarsa a hannunta ya gudu ya fita daga gidan,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
14 sai ta kira bayin gidan ta ce musu, “Duba, an kawo mana wannan mutumin Ibraniyawa don yă ci mutuncinmu! Ya zo nan don yă kwana da ni, amma na yi ihu.
that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;
15 Sa’ad da ya ji na yi ihu neman taimako, sai ya bar rigarsa kusa da ni, ya gudu ya fita daga gida.”
and it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.
16 Ta ajiye rigar kusa da ita sai da maigidansa ya dawo gida.
And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 Sa’an nan ta faɗa masa wannan labari, “Mutumin Ibraniyawan, bawan da ka kawo mana, ya zo wurina don yă ci mutuncina.
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
18 Amma da zarar na yi ihu neman taimako, sai ya bar rigarsa kusa da ni, ya gudu ya fita daga gida.”
and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
19 Sa’ad da maigidansa ya ji labarin da matarsa ta faɗa masa cewa, “Ga yadda bawanka ya yi da ni,” sai ya husata.
And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
20 Maigidan Yusuf ya ɗauke shi ya sa a kurkuku, wurin da ake tsare’yan kurkukun sarki. Amma yayinda Yusuf yake can a cikin kurkuku,
And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
21 Ubangiji ya kasance tare da shi; ya nuna masa alheri, ya kuma sa ya sami tagomashi a idanun mai gadin kurkukun.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
22 Saboda haka mai gadin ya sa Yusuf ya zama shugaban dukan waɗanda aka tsare a kurkukun, Yusuf ne kuma yake lura da dukan abin da ake yi a can.
And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
23 Mai gadin ba ya sa kansa game da kome da yake ƙarƙashin kulawar Yusuf, gama Ubangiji yana tare da Yusuf, ya kuma ba shi nasara a cikin dukan abin da ya yi.
The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
