Jenesis 39
1 A kpọọrọ Josef gaa nʼala Ijipt. Pọtifa, bụ nwoke Ijipt, otu nʼime ndịisi na-ejere Fero ozi, na onyeisi ndị agha na-eche nche zụụrụ ya site nʼaka ndị Ishmel, bụ ndị duuru ya gaa nʼebe ahụ.
Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither.
2 Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Josef, nke mere na ihe gaara ya nke ọma nʼụlọ nna ya ukwu onye Ijipt.
And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Nna ya ukwu hụrụ na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Josef, hụkwa na Onyenwe anyị na-eme ka ihe niile o mere gaara ya nke ọma.
And his master sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.
4 Josef hụtara amara nʼihu ya, ghọọ onyeozi nke aka ya. Pọtifa mere ya onye na-elekọta ezinaụlọ ya. Nyefee ya ihe niile o nwere ka ọ bụrụ onye na-elekọta ha.
So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand.
5 Site nʼoge a, o mere ka ọ bụrụ onye na-elekọta ezinaụlọ ya na ihe niile o nwere, Onyenwe anyị gọziri ezinaụlọ onye Ijipt ahụ nʼihi Josef. Ngọzị Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị nʼihe niile Pọtifa nwere, ma ihe o nwere nʼụlọ ma ndị o nwere nʼubi ya.
And from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde.
6 Ya mere, ọ hapụrụ ihe niile o nwere nʼaka Josef. Nke a mere na ọ mazighị ihe ọzọ na-eme, ma ọ bụghị nri nke ọ na-eri. Josef nʼonwe ya mara mma ahụ dịkwa mma ile anya.
Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured.
7 Mgbe oge nta gasịrị, nwunye Pọtifa lere Josef anya sị ya, “Bịa ka anyị abụọ dinaa.”
Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye with me.
8 Ma Josef jụrụ. Ọ gwara nwunye nna ya ukwu sị, “Lee, nna m ukwu anaghị echegbu onwe ya banyere ihe ọbụla nʼụlọ a. O werela ihe niile o nwere nyefee m nʼaka ka m lekọta ha anya.
But he refused and said to his masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande.
9 O nweghị onye ọnọdụ ya dị elu karịa nke m nʼụlọ a. O gbochighị m ihe ọbụla ma ọ bụghị gị, nʼihi na ị bụ nwunye ya. Olee otu m ga-esi mee oke ihe ọjọọ dị otu a, mee mmehie megide Chineke.”
There is no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne against God?
10 Ọ bụ ezie na nwanyị a nọgidere na-enye Josef nsogbu site nʼụbọchị ruo ụbọchị ma Josef jụrụ iso ya dinaa, jụkwa ịnọnyere ya.
And albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.
11 Otu ụbọchị, Josef batara nʼime ụlọ ịrụ ọrụ ya. O nweghị ndị ọzọ na-eje ozi nọ nʼime ụlọ nʼụbọchị ahụ.
Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold in the house:
12 Nwunye Pọtifa jidere Josef nʼuwe mwụda ya, rịọọ ya sị ya, “Bịa ka anyị dinaa.” Ma Josef si nʼime ụlọ ahụ gbapụ, hapụ uwe mwụda ya nʼaka nwunye Pọtifa.
Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out.
13 Mgbe nwanyị a hụrụ na Josef agbapụla, hapụ uwe ya,
Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,
14 ọ kpọrọ ndị na-eje ozi nʼezinaụlọ ya sị ha, “Lee, onye Hibru a di m kpọbatara nʼụlọ a chọrọ iji anyị gwurie egwu. Ọ bịakwutere m nʼime ụlọ chọọ ka mụ na ya dinaa. E tiri m mkpu nʼolu ike.
She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce.
15 Mgbe ọ nụrụ ka m welitere olu m tie mkpu enyemaka m tiri, o sitere nʼime ụlọ a gbapụ, ma hapụrụ m uwe ya.”
And when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.
16 Nwanyị a debere uwe ahụ nʼakụkụ ya ruo mgbe nna ya ukwu lọtara nʼụlọ.
So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.
17 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara di ya okwu ndị a sị, “Onye ohu Hibru a ị kpọbataara anyị bakwutere m iji m gwurie egwu.
Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me.
18 Ma mgbe m welitere olu tie mkpu enyemaka o sitere nʼụlọ gbapụ hapụrụ m uwe ya.”
But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19 Mgbe nna ya ukwu nụrụ ihe nwunye ya gwara ya sị, “Otu a ka ohu gị si meso m mmeso,” o were iwe dị ọkụ.
Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled.
20 Nna ukwu Josef weere ya tụnye nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, nʼebe a na-etinye ndị mkpọrọ eze Ijipt. Ma ebe ahụ Josef nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ,
And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.
21 Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ya. O meere ya ebere, mekwa ka o nweta ihuọma nʼebe onyeisi ndị nche ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ nọ.
But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.
22 Onyeisi ndị na-eche ụlọ mkpọrọ mere Josef onyeisi ndị mkpọrọ niile nọ nʼime ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ. Josef ghọrọ onye a na-ajụ otu ihe si aga nʼime ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ.
And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.
23 Onyeisi ndị nche ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ enyeghịkwa onwe ya nsogbu maka ihe ọbụla. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Josef, mee ka ihe ọbụla ọ na-eme gaa nke ọma.
And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
