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.

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 Me Iosepa no o Iehova, he kanaka ia i hoopomaikaiia, aia no ia ma ka hale o kona haku, he Aigupita.

And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

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.

And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie 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, 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 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?

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 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.

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 Ia manawa iho, komo ae la o Iosepa iloko o ka hale, e hana i kana hana, aohe kanaka o ka hale iloko.

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 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.

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 A ike aku la ua wahine la, ua haalele ia i kona kapa ma kona lima, a ua holo aku la iwaho,

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,

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;

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 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.

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 Malama iho la ua wahine la i kona kapa, a hoi mai la kona haku i ka hale.

And she laid his garment by her until his lord 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.

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 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.

and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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.
