Kejadian 39
1 Sementara itu, Yusuf sudah dibawa ke Mesir oleh para pedagang orang Ismael dan dijual kepada Potifar, komandan pengawal raja Mesir.
Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh who was captain of the guard and an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
2 Tetapi TUHAN menyertai Yusuf selama dia bekerja sebagai budak orang Mesir itu, sehingga dia selalu berhasil dalam semua pekerjaannya.
Yahweh was with Joseph and he became a prosperous man. He lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
3 Potifar melihat bahwa TUHAN membuat Yusuf mengerjakan seluruh pekerjaannya dengan baik.
His master saw that Yahweh was with him and that Yahweh prospered everything that he did.
4 Karena itu dia senang kepada Yusuf dan menunjuk dia sebagai pelayan pribadi untuk menangani urusan rumahnya dan mengelola segala miliknya.
Joseph found favor in his sight. He served Potiphar. Potiphar made Joseph manager over his house, and everything that he possessed, he put under his care.
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.
It came about from the time that he made him manager over his house and over everything he possessed, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph. The blessing of Yahweh was on everything that Potiphar 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.
Potiphar put everything that he had under Joseph's care. He did not have to think about anything except the food that he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and attractive.
7 Seiring berjalannya waktu, istri Potifar mulai menaruh hati pada Yusuf, dan dia berkata, “Marilah tidur denganku.”
It came about after this that his master's wife lusted for Joseph. She said, “Sleep with me.”
8 Tetapi Yusuf menolak istri majikannya itu. Kata Yusuf, “Tuan Potifar sudah mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada saya.
But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Look, my master does not pay attention to what I do in the house, and he has put everything that he owns under my care.
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!”
No one is greater in this house than I am. 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 Hari demi hari, istri Potifar berulang kali mengajak Yusuf tidur dengannya, tetapi Yusuf tetap pada pendiriannya dan menolak setiap ajakannya.
She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her or to be with her.
11 Pada suatu hari, Yusuf sedang melakukan tugas-tugasnya dan kebetulan tidak ada pekerja lain di rumah.
It came about one day that he went into the house to do his work. None of the men of the house were 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.
She caught him by his clothes and said, “Sleep with me.” He left his clothing in her hand, fled, and went outside.
13 Ketika perempuan itu melihat Yusuf sudah melarikan diri dengan meninggalkan pakaiannya,
It came about, when she saw that he had left his clothing in her hand and had fled 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 called to the men of her house and told them, “See, Potiphar has brought in a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I screamed.
15 Ketika dia mendengar aku berteriak, dia melarikan diri dan pakaiannya tertinggal.”
It came about when he heard me scream, that he left his clothing with me, fled, and went outside.”
16 Istri Potifar membiarkan pakaian Yusuf di sampingnya sampai suaminya pulang.
She set his clothing next to her until his master came home.
17 Ketika suaminya datang, dia berkata, “Budak Ibrani yang kamu bawa ke rumah ini hendak mempermalukanku.
She told him this explanation, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us, came in to mock me.
18 Ketika aku berteriak, dia melarikan diri dan meninggalkan pakaiannya.
It came about that when I screamed, he left his clothing with me and fled outside.”
19 Rupanya beginilah kelakuan budakmu terhadapku!” Mendengar cerita istrinya itu, Potifar sangat marah.
It came about that, when his master heard the explanation his wife told him, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became very angry.
20 Potifar pun melemparkan Yusuf ke dalam penjara tempat tahanan raja.
Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. He was there in the prison.
21 Namun, TUHAN menyertai Yusuf dan setia mengasihinya. TUHAN membuat kepala penjara terkesan dengan Yusuf, sehingga
But Yahweh was with Joseph and showed covenant faithfulness to him. He gave him favor in the sight of the prison warden.
22 dia mempercayakan Yusuf tanggung jawab untuk mengurus segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan para tahanan lainnya.
The prison warden gave into Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, Joseph was in charge of it.
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.
The prison warden did not worry about anything that was in his hand, because Yahweh was with him. Whatever he did, Yahweh prospered.
