Kinohi 39
1 U A laweia'ku la o Iosepa ilalo i Aigupita; kuaiia'ku la oia no Potipara, he luna na Parao, he luna o ka poe koa, a he kanaka no Aigupita, mai na lima aku o ka Isemaela, nana ia i lawe aku ilalo.
Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2 Me Iosepa no o Iehova, he kanaka ia i hoopomaikaiia, aia no ia ma ka hale o kona haku, he Aigupita.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3 Ike ae la kona haku, aia no o Iehova me Iosepa, a na Iehova no i pono ai ka hana a pau a kona lima.
When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
4 A loaa ia Iosepa ka lokomaikaiia imua ona, a hookauwa aku ia nana, a hoolilo aku la oia ia ia i luna no kona ohua, a no kona waiwai a pau, a waiho aku la ia i kana mea a pau i kona lima.
Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.
5 Eia hoi kekahi, mai ka wa mai o kona hoolilo ana ia ia i luna no kona ohua, a maluna o kona mea a pau, hoopomaikai mai ke Akua i ko ka hale o ua kanaka Aigupita nei no Iosepa; a na Iehova no ka pomaikai o na mea a pau ona, ma ka hale, a ma ke kula.
From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.
6 A waiho iho la oia i kona mea a pau i na lima o Iosepa, aole ia i ike aku i kekahi mea nona, o ka ai ana i ai ai wale no. Ua maikai ke kino o Iosepa, he maikai no hoi ka maka.
So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
7 A mahope iho o keia mau mea, ike mai la na maka o ka wahine a kona haku ia Iosepa, i mai la ia, E moe kaua.
and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
8 Hoole aku la ia, i aku la i ka wahine a kona haku, Aia hoi, aole ike kuu haku i na mea ia'u ma keia hale, ua waiho mai nei ko'u haku i kana mea a pau i kuu lima:
But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.
9 Aohe mea nui e ae oloko o keia hale, owau wale no; aole keia i paa aku i kekahi mea ia'u, o oe wale no, no ka mea, o kana wahine no oe. Pehea la wau e hana'i i keia hewa nui, a hana ino aku i ke Akua?
No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”
10 Koi mai la oia ia Iosepa i keia la a i keia la, aole loa ia i hoolohe iki aku ia ia, e moe me ia, a e noho me ia.
Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
11 Ia manawa iho, komo ae la o Iosepa iloko o ka hale, e hana i kana hana, aohe kanaka o ka hale iloko.
One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
12 Apo mai la kela ia ia ma ke kapa ona, i mai la, E moe kaua. Haalele iho la ia i kona kapa ma ka lima ona, holo aku la a hiki iwaho.
She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
13 A ike aku la ua wahine la, ua haalele ia i kona kapa ma kona lima, a ua holo aku la iwaho,
When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14 Kahea aku la ua wahine la i na kanaka o kona hale, olelo aku la ia lakou, i aku la, E nana oukou, ua lawe mai nei kela i ke kanaka no ka poe Hebera io kakou nei, e hoomaewaewa mai ia kakou. Hele mai la oia io'u nei e moe me au, a kahea aku la au me ka leo nui;
she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.
15 A lohe mai la kela i kuu hookiekie ana i kuu leo iluna, a i kuu hea ana aku, haalele iho nei oia i ke kapa ona ia'u, holo aku la a hiki iwaho.
When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 Malama iho la ua wahine la i kona kapa, a hoi mai la kona haku i ka hale.
So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
17 Olelo aku la ua wahine la ia ia i keia mau olelo, i aku la, O ko kauwa Hebera, au i lawe mai ai io kakou nei, ua komo mai ia io'u nei e hoomaewaewa mai ia'u.
Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
18 A hookiekie au i kuu leo iluna a kahea aku au, alaila, haalele iho la ia i ke kapa ona ia'u, a holo aku la iwaho.
but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19 A lohe ae la kona haku i ka olelo a kana wahine i olelo mai ni ia ia, i ka i ana mai, E like me keia mau olelo i hana mai ai kau kauwa ia'u; nui iho la ka huhu ona.
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
20 Lalau mai la ka haku o Iosepa ia in, hahao aku la ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, i kahi i paa ai ka poe paa o ke alii, a paa no ia maluila ma ka halepaahao.
So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,
21 Me Iosepa no o Iehova, aloha nui mai la ia ia, a haawi mai la ia ia i ka pono imua o na maka o ka mea nana i malama ka halepaahao.
the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
22 Waiho ae la ka mea nana i malama ka halepaahao i ka poe paa a pau oloko o ka halepaahao i ka lima o Iosepa, a o na mea a pau i hanaia malaila, nana no ia i hana.
And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
23 Aole hoi i nana aku ka luna o ka halepaahao i kekahi mea malalo iho o kona lima, no ka mea, aia no o Iehova me ia, a hoopomaikai mai la o Iehova i ka hana a pau ana i hana'i.
The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
