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.
Ɛberɛ a Potifar de Yosef sii ne fiefoɔ so panin, de nʼadwumadeɛ nyinaa hyɛɛ ne nsa no, ɛsiane Yosef enti, Awurade hyiraa Misraimni Potifar fie so. Awurade hyiraa nʼagyapadeɛ a ɛwɔ fie ne ne mfuo nyinaa so.
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.
Enti, ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ nyinaa hyɛɛ Yosef nsa. Esiane sɛ Potifar de nʼagyapadeɛ ne nʼadwumadeɛ nyinaa hyɛɛ Yosef nsa enti, wannwene biribiara ho sɛ aduane a ɔbɛdi nko ara. Na Yosef yɛ aberanteɛ a ɔwɔ nnyinasoɔ, na ne ho nso yɛ fɛ yie.
7 Mgbe oge nta gasịrị, nwunye Pọtifa lere Josef anya sị ya, “Bịa ka anyị abụọ dinaa.”
Ankyɛre ahe biara na Yosef wura Potifar yere tuu nʼani sii ne so. Ɛda bi, Potifar yere no ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Bra, na wo ne me mmɛda!”
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.
Nanso, Yosef ampene so, ka kyerɛɛ ne wura yere no sɛ, “Esiane sɛ efie ha biribiara hyɛ me nsa enti, me wura nnwene efie ha biribiara ho. Ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa.

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.
Ɛwom sɛ ɛda biara da na Potifar yere no de saa asɛm yi dwan Yosef ho deɛ, nanso Yosef antwe ammɛn no mpo, na akɔwie sɛ ɔne no bɛda.
11 Otu ụbọchị, Josef batara nʼime ụlọ ịrụ ọrụ ya. O nweghị ndị ọzọ na-eje ozi nọ nʼime ụlọ nʼụbọchị ahụ.
Ɛda koro bi, Yosef kɔɔ efie hɔ sɛ ɔrekɔyɛ nʼadwuma. Ɔduruu hɔ no, na asomfoɔ no mu biara nni hɔ.
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.
Potifar yere no sɔɔ Yosef atadeɛ mu, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bra na wo ne me mmɛda!” Nanso, Yosef paa nʼatadeɛ no guu ne so, dwane firii efie hɔ.
13 Mgbe nwanyị a hụrụ na Josef agbapụla, hapụ uwe ya,
Potifar yere no hunuu sɛ Yosef apa nʼatadeɛ agu ne so, na wadwane afiri efie hɔ no,
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.
ɔfrɛɛ ne fiefoɔ, de nteateam ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ! Me kunu akɔfa Hebrini bi aba efie ha sɛ ɔmmɛgu yɛn anim ase. Ɔbaa ha sɛ ɔrebɛto me monnaa na meteateaam.

Ɔtee sɛ mereteateam no, ɔpaa nʼatadeɛ guu me so, dwane firii fie ha.”
16 Nwanyị a debere uwe ahụ nʼakụkụ ya ruo mgbe nna ya ukwu lọtara nʼụlọ.
Potifar yere no de Yosef atadeɛ a ɔpa guu ne so no sieeɛ, kɔsii sɛ ne kunu baeɛ.
17 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara di ya okwu ndị a sị, “Onye ohu Hibru a ị kpọbataara anyị bakwutere m iji m gwurie egwu.
Ɔbaa no bɔɔ ne kunu amaneɛ sɛ, “Hebrini akoa no a wokɔtɔɔ no brɛɛ yɛn no baa me nkyɛn sɛ anka ɔrebɛto me monnaa.
18 Ma mgbe m welitere olu tie mkpu enyemaka o sitere nʼụlọ gbapụ hapụrụ m uwe ya.”
Meteateaam no na ɔdwane firii efie ha, gyaa nʼatadeɛ hɔ.”
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.
Ɛberɛ a Yosef wura Potifar tee asɛm a ne yere ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkwan a wʼakoa no de me faa so nie” no, ne bo fuu yie.
20 Nna ukwu Josef weere ya tụnye nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, nʼebe a na-etinye ndị mkpọrọ eze Ijipt. Ma ebe ahụ Josef nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ,
Yosef wura Potifar tee asɛm no no, ɔkyeree Yosef kɔtoo afiase, faako a ɔhene nneduafoɔ guo no. Ɛberɛ a Yosef da afiase hɔ no,
21 Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ya. O meere ya ebere, mekwa ka o nweta ihuọma nʼebe onyeisi ndị nche ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ nọ.
na Awurade ka ne ho. Awurade yɛɛ no adɔeɛ, maa ɛno enti, afiase sohwɛfoɔ panin no pɛɛ nʼasɛm yie.
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.
Ɛyɛɛ saa maa afiase sohwɛfoɔ panin no de Yosef sii nneduafoɔ no nyinaa so panin, a na biribiara a wɔyɛ wɔ afiase hɔ no hyɛ ne nsa.
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.
Esiane sɛ na Awurade ka Yosef ho no enti, na afiase sohwɛfoɔ panin no nha ne ho nyɛ adwuma. Ɛfiri sɛ, biribiara a Yosef bɛyɛ no nso, Awurade hyira so ma ɛsi yie.
