Kejadian 39
1 Sementara itu, Yusuf sudah dibawa ke Mesir oleh para pedagang orang Ismael dan dijual kepada Potifar, komandan pengawal raja Mesir.
Now, Joseph, was taken down to Egypt, —and Potiphar, courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners, an Egyptian bought him, at the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.
2 Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf selama dia bekerja sebagai budak orang Mesir itu, sehingga dia selalu berhasil dalam semua pekerjaannya.
And it came to pass that Yahweh, was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man, —and was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.
3 Potifar melihat bahwa TUHAN membuat Yusuf mengerjakan seluruh pekerjaannya dengan baik.
And his lord saw, that, Yahweh, was with him—and that whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper in his hand.
4 Karena itu dia senang kepada Yusuf dan menunjuk dia sebagai pelayan pribadi untuk menangani urusan rumahnya dan mengelola segala miliknya.
So Joseph found favour in his eyes and waited upon him, —and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had, gave he into his hand.
5 Sejak Yusuf mengurus segala sesuatu yang dipercayakan Potifar kepadanya, TUHAN semakin memberkati keluarga orang Mesir itu. TUHAN memberkati segala miliknya, baik di rumah maupun di ladang.
And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian, for Joseph’s sake, —yea it came to pass, that the blessing of Yahweh, was with all that he had, in the house and in the field;
6 Potifar mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada Yusuf sepenuhnya. Dengan demikian dia hanya perlu mengurus urusan pribadinya sendiri. Yusuf bertubuh kekar dan dia sangat tampan.
so that he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and took note with him of nothing, save only the bread which, he himself, was eating. And so it was that Joseph was comely in form and comely in countenance.
7 Seiring berjalannya waktu, istri Potifar mulai menaruh hati pada Yusuf, dan dia berkata, “Marilah tidur denganku.”
And it came to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, —and she said—Come! lie with me.
8 Tetapi Yusuf menolak istri majikannya itu. Kata Yusuf, “Tuan Potifar sudah mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada saya.
And he refused and said unto his lord’s wife, Lo! my lord, taketh no note with me as to what is in the house, —but, all that pertaineth to him, hath he delivered into my hand:
9 Tidak ada orang lain di dalam rumah ini yang diberi kuasa sebesar saya. Tuan sudah mempercayakan semuanya kepada saya, kecuali Nyonya, karena Nyonya adalah istrinya. Bagaimana mungkin saya berdosa terhadap Allah dengan melakukan perbuatan sejahat ini!”
There is no one greater in this house than I, neither hath he withheld from me anything, save only thyself in that thou, art his wife, —how, then could I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 Hari demi hari, istri Potifar berulang kali mengajak Yusuf tidur dengannya, tetapi Yusuf tetap pada pendiriannya dan menolak setiap ajakannya.
And it came to pass, that although she Spake unto Joseph day after day, yet hearkened he not unto her to lie beside her to be with her.
11 Pada suatu hari, Yusuf sedang melakukan tugas-tugasnya dan kebetulan tidak ada pekerja lain di rumah.
And it came to pass, when, on a certain day, he went into the house to attend to his business, —and there was no man of the household, there in the house,
12 Istri Potifar menarik pakaian Yusuf dan berkata, “Ayolah, tidurlah denganku!” Yusuf berhasil melarikan diri, tetapi pakaiannya tertinggal dalam genggaman istri Potifar.
that she caught him by his garment, saying—Come! lie with me. Then left he his garment in her hand, and fled and gat forth outside,
13 Ketika perempuan itu melihat Yusuf sudah melarikan diri dengan meninggalkan pakaiannya,
And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, —and fled forth outside,
14 dia berteriak memanggil para pekerjanya di luar, “Lihatlah, orang Ibrani yang dibawa suamiku ke rumah ini sudah meremehkan kita! Dia baru saja berusaha memperkosaku! Karena itulah aku berteriak.
that she cried out to the men of her house and spake to them, saying, Look ye! he hath brought in to us a Hebrew man to insult us, —He came in unto me, to lie with me, so I cried out with a loud voice.
15 Ketika dia mendengar aku berteriak, dia melarikan diri dan pakaiannya tertinggal.”
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted high my voice, and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled and gat forth outside.
16 Istri Potifar membiarkan pakaian Yusuf di sampingnya sampai suaminya pulang.
So she laid by his garment beside her, —until his lord should come into his house,
17 Ketika suaminya datang, dia berkata, “Budak Ibrani yang kamu bawa ke rumah ini hendak mempermalukanku.
Then spake she unto him, according to these words, saying, —He hath been in unto me—the Hebrew servant whom thou didst bring in to us—to insult me.
18 Ketika aku berteriak, dia melarikan diri dan meninggalkan pakaiannya.
And it came to pass when I lifted high my voice and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled outside.
19 Rupanya beginilah kelakuan budakmu terhadapku!” Mendengar cerita istrinya itu, Potifar sangat marah.
And it came to pass, when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spake unto him saying, According to these words, hath thy servant done to me, Then was kindled his anger.
20 Potifar pun melemparkan Yusuf ke dalam penjara tempat tahanan raja.
So Joseph’s lord took him and delivered him up to the prison: the place where, the prisoners of the king, were imprisoned, —so he was there, in the prison.
21 Namun, TUHAN menyertai Yusuf dan setia mengasihinya. TUHAN membuat kepala penjara terkesan dengan Yusuf, sehingga
And it came to pass that, Yahweh, was with Joseph, and extended unto him lovingkindness, —and gave him his favour in the eyes of the chief of the prison.
22 dia mempercayakan Yusuf tanggung jawab untuk mengurus segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan para tahanan lainnya.
So the chief of the prison delivered up, into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison, —and of all that was doing there, he, was the doer.
23 Kepala penjara tidak pernah mempertanyakan tugas yang berada dalam tanggung jawab Yusuf, karena Yusuf selalu berhasil dalam segala sesuatu yang dia lakukan, sebab TUHAN menyertainya.
After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand, —in that Yahweh, was with him, and whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.
