Jenesis 39

1 Josefena avre'za Isipi mopare vazageno, Fero avate vugota huno kegava nehia ne' Potifa'a Ismael vahe'mo'za avre'za vu'naza vahepinti miza huno avrente'ne.

Joseph had been taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelites, who had sold him to Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officers, the commander of the royal guard.

2 Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'negeno, maka eri'zama'amo'a knare'zanke hu'ne. Josefe'a ozafa'amofo nompi Isipi mani'ne.

The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in his Egyptian master's house.

3 Ozafa'amo'ma keana Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'negeno, eri'za kama'amo'a agri azantera knare zanke hu'ne.

His master noticed that the Lord was with him and made him successful in everything he did.

4 Ana higeno, ozafa'amo'a Josefena antahimino, avate eri'za ne' azeri oti'ne. Ana nehuno noma'ane maka'zama'a Josefe azampi antegeno kegava krinte'ne.

Potiphar appreciated Joseph and his service, and put him in charge of his household and made him responsible for everything he owned.

5 Isipi ne'mo'ma ana'ma hianknareti agafa huno Josefe'ma noma'afi mani'negu huno Potifana mika nompi zane, fegi'a hozafi zanena Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunte'ne.

From the time he put Joseph in charge and trusted him with all he had, the Lord blessed Potiphar's household because of Joseph. The Lord blessed everything he had, whether in his house or in his fields.

6 Maka'zana Potifa'a Josefe azampi antegeno kegava krigeno, maka zankura agesa ontahi'neanki, kave'ma nesia zankuke hu'ne. Hagi Josefena agi'avugosamo'ene, agia azamo'enene, avufgamo'enena knare'za huno soe zanke hu'ne.

So Potiphar left Joseph to care for everything he owned. He didn't bother with anything except to decide what food he was going to eat. Now Joseph was handsome, having a good physique,

7 Anazama nehifina ozafa'amofo nenaro'a Josefena kesane nehuno anage hu'ne, Enka nagrane emaso.

so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep with me!”

8 Hianagi agra ana kegura i'o nehuno, ozafa'amofo nenarona anage huno asami'ne, Antahio, nagrama ama nompima mani'nogeno'a ozafanimo'a maka'zankura agesa nontahie. Maka'zama ante'nea zana nagri nazampi kegava kri'nuegu ante'ne.

But he turned her down, telling his master's wife, “Look, my master trusts me so much he doesn't even bother to find out how his household is running. He's put me in charge of everything he owns—

9 Mago agateresa nera ama nompina omani'ne, nagrake mani'noankino, mikazana nagri nazampi anteno kegava huo hu'neanagi, kagri kaziga antenka mase huno hu izo huonantene. Na'ankure kagra nenaroga mani'nane. Inankna hu'na nagra tusi'a kefo'zana erifore hu'na kumira Anumzamofo avufina hugahue?

no one in this house has more authority than me! He hasn't held back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such an evil thing as this, and sin against God?”

10 Ana a'mo'ma maka knafima Josefenku'ma masesu'e huge, erava'o huoma nehigeno'a, ke'a antahi omi'ne.

Day after day she persisted in asking him, but he refused to sleep with her and tried to avoid her.

11 Hagi mago zupa Josefe'a eri'za erinaku nompi marerigeno, ruga'a eri'za vahera ana nompina omani'nageno keteno,

But one day he went into the house to do his work and none of the other servants were there.

12 ozafa'amofo nenaro'a nakre ku'are avazu nehuno anage hu'ne, Nagrane emaso, higeno ana nakre ku'a azampi zafi netreno, freno megi'a atiramino vu'ne.

She grabbed him by his clothing, and demanded, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his clothing in her hand, he ran out of the house.

13 Ozafa'amofo nenaro'ma keama Josefe'ma nakreku'ama azampi atreno freno fegi'a atiramigeno'a,

Seeing that he'd left his clothing in her hand, and had ran out of the house,

14 ana a'mo'a noma'afi eri'za e'neriza vahe ke hige'za eme atru hazageno anage hu'ne, Keho, Hibru ne'ma avrenoma eme ante'nea ne'mo, nagri zokago renanteku ege'na krafa hu'noe.

she shouted out to her servants, “Look at this! He brought this Hebrew slave here to dishonor us! This man came to try and rape me, but I screamed at the top of my voice.

15 Antahige'na ranke hu'na krafama nehuana, nakre ku'a avateti zafitreno freno fegi'a vu'ne.

When he heard me scream for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”

16 Anage huteno ana nakre ku'a ana a'mo'a tavaoma'are anteno mani'negeno neve'a nontega e'ne.

She kept his clothing with her until her husband came home.

17 Anante Potifa'a egeno, nenaro'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Miza e'ori kazokazo Hibru eri'za ne' avrenka eme tami'nana ne'mo, nagrite eno zokago renantenaku nehige'na,

Then she told him her story. It went like this: “That Hebrew slave you brought here tried to come and dishonor me.

18 rankema hu'na krafage hugeno'a, nakre ku'a atreno atiramino fegi'a freno vu'ne.

But as soon as I screamed and called for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”

19 Potifa nenaro'ma nevema asamino, miza e'ori kazokzo eri'za ne'kamo Josefe anahura nagrira hu'ne, hiankemo'a Potifa rimpamo'a teve re'ne.

When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry.

20 Ana higeno Josefena ozafa'amo'a avreno kini ne'mo'ma eri'za vahe'ama kinama hunezamantea kina nompi ome ante'ne.

He took Joseph and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed.

21 Ana hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe'ene mani'neno avesinteno azeri so'e nehigeno, kina nonte vugota hu'nea ne'mo'ma keana knare'za hu'ne.

But the Lord was with Joseph, showing him trustworthy love, and made the chief jailer pleased with him.

22 Kina nonte'ma vugote'nea ne'mo'a Josefena maka'a kina vahe'mokizmire kegava krinogu kva azeri oti'ne. Hagi inankna zama anampima haniazana agri azampi ante'ne.

So the chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners there and gave him the responsibility for running the prison.

23 Kina nonte'ma vugote'nea ne'mo'ma Josefe azampima ante'nea zankura agesa ontahine. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agrane mani'negu huno, maka'zama Josefe'ma hiazana, aza nehigeno knare'zanke hu'ne.

The chief jailer didn't bother with anything for Joseph took care of it all for the Lord was with him and made him successful.
