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.
Joseph had been taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelites, who had sold him to Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officers, the commander of the royal guard.
2 Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da Yusuf, Yusuf kuwa yi nasara, ya zauna a gidan mutumin Masar maigidansa.
The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in his Egyptian master's house.
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,
His master noticed that the Lord was with him and made him successful in everything he did.
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.
Potiphar appreciated Joseph and his service, and put him in charge of his household and made him responsible for everything he owned.
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.
From the time he put Joseph in charge and trusted him with all he had, the Lord blessed Potiphar's household because of Joseph. The Lord blessed everything he had, whether in his house or in his fields.
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,
So Potiphar left Joseph to care for everything he owned. He didn't bother with anything except to decide what food he was going to eat. Now Joseph was handsome, having a good physique,
7 bayan an ɗan jima sai matar maigidansa ta fara sha’awar Yusuf, sai ta ce, “Zo ka kwana da ni!”
so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep 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 turned her down, telling his master's wife, “Look, my master trusts me so much he doesn't even bother to find out how his household is running. He's put me in charge of everything he owns—
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?”
no one in this house has more authority than me! He hasn't held back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such an evil thing as this, 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.
Day after day she persisted in asking him, but he refused to sleep with her and tried to avoid her.
11 Wata rana, ya shiga cikin gida don yă yi ayyukansa, ba wani daga cikin bayin gidan da yake ciki.
But one day he went into the house to do his work and none of the other servants were there.
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.
She grabbed him by his clothing, and demanded, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his clothing in her hand, he ran out of the house.
13 Sa’ad da ta ga ya bar rigarsa a hannunta ya gudu ya fita daga gidan,
Seeing that he'd left his clothing in her hand, and had ran out of the house,
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.
she shouted out to her servants, “Look at this! He brought this Hebrew slave here to dishonor us! This man came to try and rape me, but I screamed at the top of my 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.”
When he heard me scream for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
16 Ta ajiye rigar kusa da ita sai da maigidansa ya dawo gida.
She kept his clothing with her until her husband 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.
Then she told him her story. It went like this: “That Hebrew slave you brought here tried to come and dishonor me.
18 Amma da zarar na yi ihu neman taimako, sai ya bar rigarsa kusa da ni, ya gudu ya fita daga gida.”
But as soon as I screamed and called for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
19 Sa’ad da maigidansa ya ji labarin da matarsa ta faɗa masa cewa, “Ga yadda bawanka ya yi da ni,” sai ya husata.
When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry.
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,
He took Joseph and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed.
21 Ubangiji ya kasance tare da shi; ya nuna masa alheri, ya kuma sa ya sami tagomashi a idanun mai gadin kurkukun.
But the Lord was with Joseph, showing him trustworthy love, and made the chief jailer pleased with him.
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.
So the chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners there and gave him the responsibility for running the prison.
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 jailer didn't bother with anything for Joseph took care of it all for the Lord was with him and made him successful.
