उत्पत्ति 39

1 योसेफलाई मिश्रमा लगियो । अङ्गरक्षकहरूका एक मिश्री कप्‍तान फारोका अधिकारी पोतीफरले उनलाई इश्माएलीहरूबाट किने ।

Now, Joseph, was taken down to Egypt, —and Potiphar, courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners, an Egyptian bought him, at the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.

2 परमप्रभु योसेफसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र उनी एक समृद्ध मानिस भए । उनी आफ्ना मिश्री मालिकका घरमा बस्थे ।

And it came to pass that Yahweh, was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man, —and was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.

3 परमप्रभु उनीसँग हुनुहुन्छ र उनले गर्ने सबै काममा उनलाई समृद्धि मिल्छ भन्‍ने कुरा उनको मालिकले देखे ।

And his lord saw, that, Yahweh, was with him—and that whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper in his hand.

4 योसेफले तिनको कृपादृष्‍टि पाए । उनले पोतीफरको सेवा गरे । पोतीफरले योसेफलाई आफ्नो घर र तिनको स्वामित्वमा रहेका सबै कुरामाथि अधिकार दिए, र ती उनको जिम्मामा लगाए ।

So Joseph found favour in his eyes and waited upon him, —and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had, gave he into his hand.

5 तिनको घर र तिनको स्वामित्वमा रहेका सबै कुरामाथि योसेफलाई अधिकार दिएपछि योसेफको कारण परमप्रभुले त्यस मिश्रीको घरलाई आशिषित् गर्नुभयो । पोतीफरको घर र खेतमा भएका सबै कुरामाथि परमप्रभुको आशिष् रह्यो ।

And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian, for Joseph’s sake, —yea it came to pass, that the blessing of Yahweh, was with all that he had, in the house and in the field;

6 पोतीफरले आफ्ना सबै कुरा योसेफको जिम्मामा दिए । तिनले आफूले खाने भोजनबाहेक अरू कुनै कुराको विषयमा पनि चिन्ता लिनु पर्दैनथ्यो । योसेफ सुन्दर र आकर्षक थिए ।

so that he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and took note with him of nothing, save only the bread which, he himself, was eating. And so it was that Joseph was comely in form and comely in countenance.

7 योसेफका मालिककी पत्‍नीले उनीप्रति चाहना राखिन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मसँग सुत ।”

And it came to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, —and she said—Come! lie with me.

8 उनले इन्कार गरेर आफ्ना मालिककी पत्‍नीलाई यसो भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा मालिकले यस घरमा म के गर्छु भन्‍ने कुराप्रति कुनै चिन्ता गर्नुहुन्‍न, र उहाँका सबै कुरा उहाँले मेरै जिम्मामा दिनुभएको छ ।

And he refused and said unto his lord’s wife, Lo! my lord, taketh no note with me as to what is in the house, —but, all that pertaineth to him, hath he delivered into my hand:

9 मभन्दा ठुलो यस घरमा कोही छैन । उहाँले तपाईंबाहेक सबै कुरा मलाई दिनुभएको छ, किनभने तपाईं उहाँकी पत्‍नी हुनुहुन्छ । यसैकारण मैले कसरी यस्तो दुष्‍ट काम गरी परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्ध पाप गर्न सक्छु?”

There is no one greater in this house than I, neither hath he withheld from me anything, save only thyself in that thou, art his wife, —how, then could I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

10 तिनले योसेफसँग दिनहुँ कुरा गरिन्, तर उनी तिनीसँग सुत्‍न वा तिनको नजिक जान इन्कार गरे ।

And it came to pass, that although she Spake unto Joseph day after day, yet hearkened he not unto her to lie beside her to be with her.

11 एक दिन उनी आफ्ना काम गर्न घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । घरभित्र कोही पनि मानिस थिएन ।

And it came to pass, when, on a certain day, he went into the house to attend to his business, —and there was no man of the household, there in the house,

12 तिनले उनको लुगा समातिन् र भनिन्, “मसँग सुत ।” उनले आफ्ना लुगा तिनकै हातमा छोडेर बाहिर भागे ।

that she caught him by his garment, saying—Come! lie with me. Then left he his garment in her hand, and fled and gat forth outside,

13 जब योसेफ आफ्ना लुगा छोडेर बाहिर भागेका तिनले देखिन्,

And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, —and fled forth outside,

14 तिनले आफ्ना घरका मानिसहरूलाई बोलाएर भनिन्, “हेर, पोतीफरले हाम्रो बेइज्‍जत गर्न एउटा हिब्रूलाई ल्याउनुभएको छ । त्यो मकहाँ सुत्‍न भनेर आयो, अनि म चिच्याएँ ।

that she cried out to the men of her house and spake to them, saying, Look ye! he hath brought in to us a Hebrew man to insult us, —He came in unto me, to lie with me, so I cried out with a loud voice.

15 जब त्यसले म चिच्‍याएकी सुन्यो, त्यसले आफ्ना लुगा मकहाँ छोडेर बाहिर भाग्यो ।”

And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted high my voice, and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled and gat forth outside.

16 तिनको मालिक घर नआउन्जेलसम्म तिनले त्यो लुगा आफ्नै साथमा राखिन् ।

So she laid by his garment beside her, —until his lord should come into his house,

17 तिनले उनलाई यसरी वर्णन गरिन्, “तपाईंले हाम्रो निम्ति ल्याउनुभएको त्यो हिब्रू नोकर मेरो बेइज्‍जत गर्न मकहाँ आयो ।

Then spake she unto him, according to these words, saying, —He hath been in unto me—the Hebrew servant whom thou didst bring in to us—to insult me.

18 जब म चिच्‍याएँ, त्यसले आफ्ना लुगा मकहाँ छोडेर बाहिर भाग्यो ।”

And it came to pass when I lifted high my voice and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled outside.

19 आफ्नो नोकरले आफ्नी पत्‍नीलाई गरेको व्यवहार आफ्नी पत्‍नीबाट सुनेपछि तिनी रिसले चुर भए ।

And it came to pass, when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spake unto him saying, According to these words, hath thy servant done to me, Then was kindled his anger.

20 योसेफका मालिकले उनलाई झ्यालखानामा राखे जहाँ राजाका कैदीहरू राखिन्थे । उनी त्यही झ्यालखानामा थिए ।

So Joseph’s lord took him and delivered him up to the prison: the place where, the prisoners of the king, were imprisoned, —so he was there, in the prison.

21 तर परमप्रभु योसेफसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र आफ्ना करारप्रति उहाँ भरोसायोग्य रहनुभयो । झ्यालखानाका हाकिमको नजरमा उहाँले उनलाई कृपादृष्‍टि दिनुभयो ।

And it came to pass that, Yahweh, was with Joseph, and extended unto him lovingkindness, —and gave him his favour in the eyes of the chief of the prison.

22 झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले झ्यालखानाका सबै कैदीहरू योसेफको जिम्मामा दिए । तिनीहरूले गर्ने काममाथि योसेफकै निगरानी हुन्थ्यो ।

So the chief of the prison delivered up, into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison, —and of all that was doing there, he, was the doer.

23 उनको जिम्मामा भएका कुनै कुरामा त्यस झ्यालखानाका हाकिम चिन्तित हुँदैन थिए, किनभने परमप्रभु उनीसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उनले जे गर्थे, परमप्रभुले समृद्धि प्रदान गर्नुहुन्थ्यो ।

After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand, —in that Yahweh, was with him, and whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.
