1 UJosefa wathathwa wasiwa eGibhithe. UPhothifa, owayengomunye wezikhulu zikaFaro, eyindunankulu yabalindi, wamthenga kuma-Ishumayeli abayibo abamletha khona.

and Joseph to go down Egypt [to] and to buy him Potiphar eunuch Pharaoh ruler [the] guard man Egyptian from hand: to [the] Ishmaelite which to go down him there [to]

2 UThixo wayelaye uJosefa, waphumelela, wahlala endlini yenkosi yakhe umGibhithe.

and to be LORD with Joseph and to be man to prosper and to be in/on/with house: household lord his [the] Egyptian

3 Kwathi inkosi yakhe ikubona ukuthi uThixo wayelaye lokuthi uThixo wamphumelelisa kukho konke ayekwenza,

and to see: see lord his for LORD with him and all which he/she/it to make: do LORD to prosper in/on/with hand his

4 uJosefa wasethandeka kuye wasesiba yinceku yakhe. UPhothifa wasembeka ukuba ngumphathi womuzi wakhe, kwathi konke ayelakho wakubeka ezandleni zakhe.

and to find Joseph favor in/on/with eye: seeing his and to minister [obj] him and to reckon: overseer him upon house: household his and all there to/for him to give: put in/on/with hand: power his

5 Kusukela ngesikhathi embeka ukuba ngumphathi womuzi wakhe lakho konke okwakungokwakhe, uThixo wawubusisa umuzi womGibhithe ngenxa kaJosefa. Isibusiso sikaThixo saba phezu kwakho konke uPhothifa ayelakho, loba kusendlini loba kusensimini.

and to be from the past to reckon: overseer [obj] him in/on/with house: household his and upon all which there to/for him and to bless LORD [obj] house: household [the] Egyptian in/on/with because of Joseph and to be blessing LORD in/on/with all which there to/for him in/on/with house: home and in/on/with land: country

6 Ngakho watshiya konke okwakhe ezandleni zikaJosefa; kwathi ngoba uJosefa enguye ophetheyo wakhohlwa ngakho konke ngaphandle kokudla ayekudla. UJosefa lo wayemi kuhle, ebukeka,

and to leave: forsake all which to/for him in/on/with hand: power Joseph and not to know with him anything that if: except if: except [the] food which he/she/it to eat and to be Joseph beautiful appearance and beautiful appearance

7 kwasekusithi ngemva kwesikhathi inkosikazi yenkosi yakhe yambuka, yamfisa uJosefa yathi, “Woza engutsheni lami!”

and to be after [the] word: thing [the] these and to lift: bear woman: wife lord his [obj] eye her to(wards) Joseph and to say to lie down: have sex [emph?] with me

8 Kodwa wala. Wamtshela wathi, “Njengoba kuyimi engiphetheyo, inkosi yami kayizihluphi ngalutho emzini wayo; yonke into elayo iyibeke ezandleni zami.

and to refuse and to say to(wards) woman: wife lord his look! lord my not to know with me what? in/on/with house: household and all which there to/for him to give: put in/on/with hand: power my

9 Kakho omkhulu kulami kulumuzi. Inkosi yami kayingalisi lutho ngaphandle kwakho, ngoba wena ungumkayo. Pho ngingayenza kanjani into embi kanje, ngenze isono kuNkulunkulu na?”

nothing he great: large in/on/with house: household [the] this from me and not to withhold from me anything that if: except if: except [obj] you in/on/with in which you(f. s.) woman: wife his and how? to make: do [the] distress: evil [the] great: large [the] this and to sin to/for God

10 Kwathi loba emphikelela uJosefa insuku ngensuku, wala ukulala laye wala lokuthi ahlale laye.

and to be like/as to speak: speak she to(wards) Joseph day: daily day: daily and not to hear: hear to(wards) her to/for to lie down: have sex beside her to/for to be with her

11 Ngolunye usuku wangena endlini ukuqhuba umsebenzi wakhe, izisebenzi zasendlini zingekho phakathi endlini.

and to be like/as [the] day [the] this and to come (in): come [the] house: home [to] to/for to make: do work his and nothing man: anyone from human [the] house: home there in/on/with house: home

12 UmkaPhothifa wambamba ngesigqoko wathi, “Woza engutsheni ulale lami!” Kodwa waphunyuka wabaleka waphuma endlini, isigqoko sakhe sasala esandleni sowesifazane.

and to capture him in/on/with garment his to/for to say to lie down: have sex [emph?] with me and to leave: forsake garment his in/on/with hand: power her and to flee and to come out: come [the] outside [to]

13 Kwathi ebona ukuthi utshiye isigqoko sakhe esandleni sakhe njalo wabaleka endlini,

and to be like/as to see: see she for to leave: forsake garment his in/on/with hand her and to flee [the] outside [to]

14 owesifazane wamemeza izisebenzi zendlini wathi kuzo, “Khangelani, umHebheru lo walethwa lapha ukuzadlala ngathi! Ungene lapha efuna ukulala lami, kodwa ngahlaba umkhosi.

and to call: call out to/for human house: household her and to say to/for them to/for to say to see: behold! to come (in): bring to/for us man Hebrew to/for to laugh in/on/with us to come (in): come to(wards) me to/for to lie down: have sex with me and to call: call out in/on/with voice great: large

15 Uthe esizwa ngihlaba umkhosi ngidinga uncedo, wasetshiya isigqoko sakhe eceleni kwami wabaleka waphuma endlini.”

and to be like/as to hear: hear he for to exalt voice my and to call: call out and to leave: forsake garment his beside me and to flee and to come out: come [the] outside [to]

16 Wasigcina isigqoko eceleni kwakhe inkosi kaJosefa yaze yabuya ngekhaya.

and to rest garment his beside her till to come (in): come lord his to(wards) house: home his

17 Waseyitshela indaba le wathi: “Isigqili somHebheru lesiyana owasilethela sona sifikile kimi ukuzadlala ngami.

and to speak: speak to(wards) him like/as word [the] these to/for to say to come (in): come to(wards) me [the] servant/slave [the] Hebrew which to come (in): bring to/for us to/for to laugh in/on/with me

18 Kodwa ngonele ukuthi ngihlabe umkhosi ngidinga uncedo, satshiya isigqoko saso eceleni kwami sabaleka saphuma endlini.”

and to be like/as to exalt I voice my and to call: call out and to leave: forsake garment his beside me and to flee [the] outside [to]

19 Kwathi inkosi yakhe isizwile indaba eyayitshelwa ngumfazi esithi, “Singenze njalo isigqili sakho,” yathukuthela kakhulu.

and to be like/as to hear: hear lord his [obj] word woman: wife his which to speak: speak to(wards) him to/for to say like/as Chronicles [the] these to make: do to/for me servant/slave your and to be incensed face: anger his

20 Inkosi yakhe uJosefa yamthatha yamphosela entolongweni, indawo lapho okwakuvalelwa khona izibotshwa zenkosi. Kodwa kwathi uJosefa ekhonapho entolongweni,

and to take: take lord Joseph [obj] him and to give: put him to(wards) house: home [the] prison place which (prisoner *Q(K)*) [the] king to bind and to be there in/on/with house: home [the] prison

21 uThixo waba laye; wamenzela umusa wamenza wathandeka emehlweni omphathijele.

and to be LORD with Joseph and to stretch to(wards) him kindness and to give: give favor his in/on/with eye: seeing ruler house: home [the] prison

22 Ngakho-ke umphathijele wamkhweza wamenza umphathi wabo bonke ababebotshiwe besentolongweni, njalo kwaba nguye okhangele konke okwakusenziwa khona.

and to give: put ruler house: home [the] prison in/on/with hand: power Joseph [obj] all [the] prisoner which in/on/with house: home [the] prison and [obj] all which to make: do there he/she/it to be to make: do

23 Umphathijele kazange azihluphe loba ngani eyayiphethwe nguJosefa ngoba uThixo wayelaye uJosefa, wamupha impumelelo kukho konke ayekwenza.

nothing ruler house: home [the] prison to see: see [obj] all anything in/on/with hand: power his in/on/with in which LORD with him and which he/she/it to make: do LORD to prosper
