UGenesisi 39

1 UJosefa wasesehliselwa eGibhithe; njalo uPotifa, umphathi kaFaro, induna yabalindi, indoda engumGibhithe, wamthenga esandleni samaIshmayeli, ababemehlisele khona.

And Joseph he had been brought down Egypt towards and he bought him Potiphar [the] official of Pharaoh [the] commander of the bodyguards a man an Egyptian from [the] hand of the Ishmaelites who they had brought down him there towards.

2 Njalo iNkosi yayiloJosefa, waze waba ngumuntu ophumelelayo; wayesendlini yenkosi yakhe, umGibhithe.

And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he was a man successful and he was in [the] house of master his the Egyptian.

3 Inkosi yakhe yasibona ukuthi iNkosi ilaye, lokuthi konke akwenzayo iNkosi yakuphumelelisa esandleni sakhe.

And he saw master his that Yahweh [was] with him and all that he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful in hand his.

4 UJosefa wasethola umusa emehlweni ayo, wayisebenzela; njalo yamenza waba ngumphathi wendlu yayo, lakho konke eyayilakho yakunikela esandleni sakhe.

And he found Joseph favor in view his and he served him and he appointed him over household his and all [that] there [belonged] to him he gave in hand his.

5 Kwasekusithi kusukela esikhathini eyamenza ngaso umphathi wendlu yayo, lakho konke eyayilakho, iNkosi yabusisa indlu yomGibhithe ngenxa kaJosefa; lesibusiso seNkosi saba phezu kwakho konke eyayilakho, endlini lensimini.

And it was from then he appointed him in household his and over all that there [belonged] to him and he blessed Yahweh [the] household of the Egyptian on account of Joseph and it was [the] blessing of Yahweh on all that there [belonged] to him in the house and in the field.

6 Yasitshiya konke eyayilakho esandleni sikaJosefa; yayingazi lutho lwayo, ngaphandle kokudla eyayikudla. Futhi uJosefa wayemuhle ngesimo, ekhangeleka kuhle.

And he left all that [belonged] to him in [the] hand of Joseph and not he knew with him anything that except the food which he [was] eating and he was Joseph handsome of form and handsome of appearance.

7 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto, inkosikazi yenkosi yakhe yaphakamisela amehlo ayo kuJosefa; yathi: Lala lami.

And it was after the things these and she lifted up [the] wife of master his eyes her to Joseph and she said lie! with me.

8 Kodwa wala, wathi enkosikazini yenkosi yakhe: Khangela, inkosi yami kayikwazi okulami endlini, njalo konke elakho ikunikela esandleni sami;

And he refused - and he said to [the] wife of master his here! lord my not he knows with me what? [is] in the house and all that there [belongs] to him he has given in hand my.

9 kakho omkhulu kulami endlini le; njalo kayingigodlelanga lutho, ngaphandle kwakho, ngalokhu ukuthi ungumkayo; njalo ngingenza njani lobububi obukhulu, ngone kuNkulunkulu?

Not [is] he great in the household this more than me and not he has withheld from me anything that except you in that you [are] wife his and how? will I do the evil great this and I will sin to God.

10 Kwasekusithi ekukhulumeni kwakhe kuJosefa insuku ngensuku, kazange amlalele, ukulala laye, lokuba laye.

And it was when spoke she to Joseph day - day and not he listened to her to lie beside her to be with her.

11 Kwasekusithi ngosuku oluthile wangena endlini ukuyakwenza umsebenzi wakhe, njalo kwakungekho owamadoda endlu lapho endlini,

And it was when the day this and he went the house towards to do work his and not anyone from [the] men of the house [was] there in the house.

12 yasimbamba ngesembatho sakhe isithi: Lala lami. Kodwa watshiya isembatho sakhe esandleni sayo, wabaleka, waphumela phandle.

And she seized him by clothing his saying lie! with me and he left clothing his in hand her and he fled and he went out the outside towards.

13 Kwasekusithi isibonile ukuthi utshiyile isembatho sakhe esandleni sayo, wabalekela phandle,

And it was when saw she that he had left clothing his in hand her and he had fled the outside towards.

14 yabiza amadoda endlu yayo, yakhuluma kuwo isithi: Bonani, usilethele indoda engumHebheru ukudlala ngathi; uze kimi ukuze alale lami, ngamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu;

And she called out to [the] men of household her and she said to them saying see he has brought to us a man a Hebrew to mock us he came to me to lie with me and I called out with a voice great.

15 kwasekusithi esezwile ukuthi ngiphakamise ilizwi lami ngakhala, watshiya isembatho sakhe eceleni kwami, wabaleka, waphumela phandle.

And it was when heard he that I raised voice my and I called out and he left clothing his beside me and he fled and he went out the outside towards.

16 Yasisibeka isembatho sakhe eceleni kwayo, yaze yafika inkosi yakhe ekhaya.

And she placed clothing his beside her until came master his to house his.

17 Njalo yakhuluma kuyo njengalamazwi isithi: Inceku engumHebheru, osilethele yona, izile kimi ukuze idlale ngami;

And she spoke to him according to the words these saying he came to me the servant the Hebrew whom you brought to us to mock me.

18 kwasekusithi sengiphakamise ilizwi lami ngakhala, yatshiya isembatho sayo eceleni kwami, yabalekela phandle.

And it was when raised I voice my and I called out and he left clothing his beside me and he fled the outside towards.

19 Kwasekusithi inkosi yakhe isizwe amazwi omkayo, ewakhulume kuyo, esithi: Njengalamazwi inceku yakho yenze kimi, ulaka lwayo lwavutha.

And it was when heard master his [the] words of wife his which she spoke to him saying according to the things these he did to me servant your and it burned anger his.

20 Inkosi kaJosefa yasimthatha yamfaka entolongweni, indawo lapho izibotshwa zenkosi ezazibotshelwa khona; wasesiba lapho entolongweni.

And he took [the] master of Joseph him and he put him into [the] house of the prison [the] place where ([the] prisoners of *Q(K)*) the king [were] imprisoned and he was there in [the] house of the prison.

21 Kodwa iNkosi yaba loJosefa, yelulela umusa kuye, yasimupha umusa emehlweni enduna yentolongo.

And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he extended to him covenant loyalty and he gave favor his in [the] eyes of [the] commander of [the] house of the prison.

22 Induna yentolongo yanikela-ke esandleni sikaJosefa zonke izibotshwa ezazisentolongweni; lakho konke ezazikwenza lapho, wayengumenzi.

And he gave [the] commander of [the] house of the prison in [the] hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [were] in [the] house of the prison and all that [they were] doing there he he was doing.

23 Induna yentolongo kayisakhangelanga lutho olwalusesandleni sakhe, ngoba iNkosi yayilaye; lalokho akwenzayo iNkosi yakuphumelelisa.

Not - [the] commander of [the] house of the prison [was] seeing all anything in hand his in that Yahweh [was] with him and [that] which he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful.
