1 योसेफलाई मिश्रमा लगियो । अङ्गरक्षकहरूका एक मिश्री कप्‍तान फारोका अधिकारी पोतीफरले उनलाई इश्माएलीहरूबाट किने ।
Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2 परमप्रभु योसेफसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र उनी एक समृद्ध मानिस भए । उनी आफ्ना मिश्री मालिकका घरमा बस्थे ।
The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 परमप्रभु उनीसँग हुनुहुन्छ र उनले गर्ने सबै काममा उनलाई समृद्धि मिल्छ भन्‍ने कुरा उनको मालिकले देखे ।
His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did 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 ।
Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put 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 ।
From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on 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 ।
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 योसेफका मालिककी पत्‍नीले उनीप्रति चाहना राखिन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मसँग सुत ।”
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “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 ।
But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has 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?”
No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can 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 ।
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 एक दिन उनी आफ्ना काम गर्न घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । घरभित्र कोही पनि मानिस थिएन ।
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12 तिनले उनको लुगा समातिन् र भनिन्, “मसँग सुत ।” उनले आफ्ना लुगा तिनकै हातमा छोडेर बाहिर भागे ।
She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 जब योसेफ आफ्ना लुगा छोडेर बाहिर भागेका तिनले देखिन्,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run 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 ।
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 जब त्यसले म चिच्‍याएकी सुन्यो, त्यसले आफ्ना लुगा मकहाँ छोडेर बाहिर भाग्यो ।”
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 तिनको मालिक घर नआउन्जेलसम्म तिनले त्यो लुगा आफ्नै साथमा राखिन् ।
She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 तिनले उनलाई यसरी वर्णन गरिन्, “तपाईंले हाम्रो निम्ति ल्याउनुभएको त्यो हिब्रू नोकर मेरो बेइज्‍जत गर्न मकहाँ आयो ।
She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18 जब म चिच्‍याएँ, त्यसले आफ्ना लुगा मकहाँ छोडेर बाहिर भाग्यो ।”
and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 आफ्नो नोकरले आफ्नी पत्‍नीलाई गरेको व्यवहार आफ्नी पत्‍नीबाट सुनेपछि तिनी रिसले चुर भए ।
When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
20 योसेफका मालिकले उनलाई झ्यालखानामा राखे जहाँ राजाका कैदीहरू राखिन्थे । उनी त्यही झ्यालखानामा थिए ।
Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
21 तर परमप्रभु योसेफसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र आफ्ना करारप्रति उहाँ भरोसायोग्य रहनुभयो । झ्यालखानाका हाकिमको नजरमा उहाँले उनलाई कृपादृष्‍टि दिनुभयो ।
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले झ्यालखानाका सबै कैदीहरू योसेफको जिम्मामा दिए । तिनीहरूले गर्ने काममाथि योसेफकै निगरानी हुन्थ्यो ।
The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
23 उनको जिम्मामा भएका कुनै कुरामा त्यस झ्यालखानाका हाकिम चिन्तित हुँदैन थिए, किनभने परमप्रभु उनीसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उनले जे गर्थे, परमप्रभुले समृद्धि प्रदान गर्नुहुन्थ्यो ।
The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
