Genesis 39
1 Mwet Ishmael elos usalla Joseph nu Egypt ac kukakunulla nu sel Potiphar, sie sin mwet fulat lal tokosra, su sifen mwet topang su taran inkul sin tokosra.
And Joseph has been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buys him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him there.
2 LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac oru tuh ma nukewa el oru fahla wona ouiya. El muta yurin mwet kacto lal, sie mwet Egypt,
And YHWH is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,
3 su liye tuh na LEUM GOD El welul Joseph, ac LEUM GOD El oru in wo ouiyal Joseph in ma nukewa el oru.
and his lord sees that YHWH is with him, and all that he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper in his hand,
4 Potiphar el insewowo sel ac oru tuh elan mwet tutafpo lal. Ouinge el likilya elan leum fin lohm sel ac ma nukewa lal.
and Joseph finds grace in his eyes and serves him, and he appoints him over his house, and all that he has he has given into his hand.
5 Tukun pacl sac lac, LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye sou lun mwet Egypt sac ac ma nukewa in lohm sel ac in ima lal, ke sripal Joseph.
And it comes to pass from the time that he has appointed him over his house, and over all that he has, that YHWH blesses the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of YHWH is on all that he has, in the house, and in the field;
6 Potiphar el fuhleang ma nukewa lal nu ye karinginyuk lal Joseph, ac el tia elya ke kutena ma sayen in sulela ma nal sifacna. Joseph el arulana oasku ac wo lumahl,
and he leaves all that he has in the hand of Joseph, and he has not known anything that he has, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a handsome form, and of a handsome appearance.
7 ac tok kutu, mutan kien leum sac el mutawauk in lungseyak Joseph ac siyuk elan som oan yorol.
And it comes to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifts up her eyes to Joseph and says, “Lie with me”;
8 Joseph el srangesr, ac el fahk nu sin mutan sac, “Nge, wangin elya lun leum luk ke kutena ma in lohm sel, mweyen el lulalfongiyu. El se ngan karingin ma nukewa lal.
and he refuses and says to his lord’s wife, “Behold, my lord has not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand;
9 Oasr ku luk in lohm se inge oana el, ac wangin kutena ma el sruok nu sik sayom. Fuka tuh ngan oru kain elahwet ingan ac orekma koluk lain God?”
none is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld from me anything, except you, because you [are] his wife; and how will I do this great evil? Then I have sinned against God.”
10 Mutan sac el ne kwafe nu sel Joseph pingana len elan oan yorol, a Joseph el tiana som welul oan.
And it comes to pass at her speaking to Joseph day [by] day, that he has not listened to her, to lie near her, to be with her;
11 Tusruktu sie len ah, ke Joseph el som in oru orekma lal in lohm sac, wangin mwet kulansap saya oasr we.
and it comes to pass about this day, that he goes into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,
12 Mutan sac sruokya nuknuk lal Joseph, ac fahk, “Fahsru oan yuruk.” A Joseph el kaingla nu likin lohm sac, sisla na nuknuk lal ah yurin mutan sac.
and she catches him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me”; and he leaves his garment in her hand, and flees, and goes outside.
13 Ke mutan sac el liye lah Joseph el sisla nuknuk lal ah ac kaingla nu lik ah,
And it comes to pass, when she sees that he has left his garment in her hand, and flees outside,
14 el pang nu sin mwet kulansap lal lohm sac, ac fahk, “Ngetma liye ma se nge! Mwet Hebrew se ma mukul tumuk ah use nu lohm uh el aklusrongtenye kut. El utyak nu infukil sik ah, ac srike in sruinkuiyu, tuh nga liksrenina wowoyak ke kuiyuk.
that she calls for the men of her house, and speaks to them, saying, “See, he has brought a man to us, a Hebrew, to play with us; he has come in to me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,
15 Ke el lohng lah nga wowoyak, na el kaing nu likinuma, sisla nuknuk se lal inge siskuk.”
and it comes to pass, when he hears that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees, and goes outside.”
16 Mutan sac sruokya na nuknuk sac nwe ke na leum se lal Joseph ah tuku.
And she places his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord to his house.
17 Na el srumunang pac sramsram sac nu sel. El fahk, “Mwet kohs Hebrew sac, ma kom use nu inge ah, el utyak nu infukil sik uh ac nunku elan sruinkuiyu.
And she speaks to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you have brought to us, has come in to me to play with me;
18 Tusruktu nga wowoyak, na el kaingla nu likinuma, sisla nuknuk lal ah siskuk.”
and it comes to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees outside.”
19 Ke leum se lal Joseph el lohng ma mutan kial ac fahk inge, el foloyak,
And it comes to pass, when his lord hears the words of his wife, which she has spoken to him, saying, “According to these things has your servant done to me,” that his anger burns;
20 ac sap sruhu Joseph ac sisiyang el nu in presin, yen mwet kapir lun tokosra kapir we. Na el mutana we.
and Joseph’s lord takes him, and puts him to the round-house, a place where the king’s prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-house.
21 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac akinsewowoyal, pwanang mwet liyaung presin el kulang nu sel.
And YHWH is with Joseph, and stretches out kindness to him, and puts his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;
22 El likilya Joseph elan sifen mwet kapir nukewa, ac sang elan fosrngakin ma nukewa ma orek in presin.
and the chief of the round-house gives into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he has been doer;
23 Mwet liyaung presin el tia fosrngakin kutena ma su oan ye karinginyuk lal Joseph, mweyen LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac oru in wo ouiyal ke ma nukewa el oru.
the chief of the round-house does not see anything under his hand, because YHWH [is] with him, and that which he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper.
