Kejadian 39
1 Yusuf telah dibawa ke Mesir oleh orang-orang Ismael itu, dan dijual kepada Potifar, seorang perwira raja yang menjabat kepala pengawal istana.
Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2 TUHAN menolong Yusuf sehingga ia selalu berhasil dalam semua pekerjaannya. Ia tinggal di rumah tuannya, orang Mesir itu.
The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Tuannya melihat bahwa TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan karena itu Yusuf berhasil baik dalam segala yang dikerjakannya.
His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 Potifar senang kepada Yusuf dan mengangkatnya menjadi pelayan pribadinya; lalu ditugaskannya Yusuf mengurus rumah tangganya dan segala miliknya.
Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 Sejak saat itu, demi Yusuf, TUHAN memberkati rumah tangga orang Mesir itu dan segala apa yang dimilikinya, baik yang di rumah maupun yang di ladang.
From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6 Segala sesuatu yang dimiliki Potifar dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf. Dengan demikian Potifar sama sekali tidak mau tahu tentang urusan rumahnya, kecuali hal makanannya. Yusuf gagah dan tampan.
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 Selang beberapa waktu, istri Potifar mulai berahi kepada Yusuf, lalu pemuda itu diajaknya tidur bersama.
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 Yusuf tidak mau dan berkata kepadanya, "Maaf, Nyonya, tuan Potifar telah mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada saya. Ia tidak perlu memikirkan apa-apa lagi di rumah ini.
But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9 Di sini kuasa saya sama besar dengan kuasanya. Tidak ada satu pun yang tidak dipercayakannya kepada saya kecuali Nyonya. Bagaimana mungkin saya melakukan perbuatan sejahat itu dan berdosa terhadap Allah?"
No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
10 Meskipun istri Potifar membujuk Yusuf setiap hari, pemuda itu tetap tidak mau tidur bersamanya.
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he did not listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 Pada suatu hari ketika Yusuf masuk ke dalam rumah untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, tidak ada seorang pun di situ.
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12 Istri Potifar menarik Yusuf pada jubahnya dan berkata, "Mari kita tidur bersama." Yusuf meronta dan dapat lepas, lalu lari ke luar, tetapi jubahnya tertinggal di tangan wanita itu.
She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 Ketika istri Potifar melihat bahwa Yusuf telah lari dan jubahnya tertinggal,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 ia memanggil pelayan-pelayannya dan berkata, "Coba lihat! Orang Ibrani yang dibawa suami saya ke rumah ini, menghina kita. Dia masuk ke dalam kamar saya dan mau memperkosa saya, tetapi saya berteriak keras-keras.
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 Waktu mendengar teriakan saya, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 Lalu istri Potifar menyimpan jubah itu sampai suaminya pulang.
She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 Sekembalinya suaminya, ia segera menuturkan cerita itu kepadanya, katanya, "Orang Ibrani yang kaubawa ke mari itu, masuk ke dalam kamar untuk menghina saya.
She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18 Tetapi ketika saya berteriak, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 Potifar menjadi sangat marah.
When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
20 Dan ia memerintahkan supaya Yusuf segera ditangkap dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, tempat tahanan-tahanan raja dikurung.
Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
21 Tetapi TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan terus mengasihinya, sehingga kepala penjara suka kepadanya.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 Ia mempercayakan tahanan-tahanan lainnya kepada Yusuf, dan Yusuflah yang diserahi tanggung jawab atas segala pekerjaan yang dilakukan di dalam penjara itu.
The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
23 Kepala penjara itu tidak lagi mengawasi segala yang dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf, karena TUHAN menolongnya sehingga dia berhasil dalam segala pekerjaannya.
The keeper of the prison did not look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
