Uumama 39
1 Yeroo kanatti Yoosef Gibxitti geeffamee ture. Phoxiifaaraan namichi Gibxi qondaalli Faraʼoon kan ajajaa waardiyyaa ture sun Ishmaaʼeeloota achi isa geessan irraa isa bitate.
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 Yoosefis waan Waaqayyo isa wajjin tureef nama milkaaʼaa taʼe; innis mana gooftaa isaa namicha biyya Gibxi sanaa jiraate.
The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Gooftaan isaas akka Waaqayyo isa wajjin jiruu fi akka Waaqayyo waan inni hojjetu hunda keessatti isa milkoomse arge;
His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 Yoosefis fuula gooftaa isaa duratti fudhatama argatee hojjetaa isaa amanamaa taʼe. Phoxiifaaraanis mana isaa irratti isa muude; waan qabu hundumas akka inni eeguuf imaanaa itti kenne.
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 Gaafa inni mana isaatii fi waan inni qabu hunda irratti isa muudee jalqabee Waaqayyo sababii Yoosefiif jedhee mana namicha Gibxi sanaa eebbise. Eebbi Waaqayyoos waan Phoxiifaaraan manaa fi alaa qabu hunda irra ture.
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 Kanaafuu Phoxiifaaraan waan qabu hunda harka Yoosef jala galche; innis waan nyaatu qofa malee qabeenya isaa tokko illee hin beeku ture. Yoosef dhaaba toleessaa fi miidhagaa ture;
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 niitiin gooftaa isaas waan kana booddee ija ishee Yoosef irra buufattee, “Kottuu na bira gaʼi!” jetteen.
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 Inni garuu didee akkana isheen jedhe; “Kunoo, gooftaan koo waan mana keessa jiru tokko illee hin beeku; inni waan qabu hunda natti kenneera.
But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9 Mana kana keessatti namni na caalu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Sababii ati niitii isaa taateef siʼi malee wanni gooftaan koo natti hin kennin tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Yoos ani akkamittan waan hamaa akkasii raawwachuudhaan Waaqatti cubbuu hojjedha ree?”
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 Isheen guyyuma guyyaan Yoosefitti dubbattu iyyuu, inni ishee bira gaʼuu yookaan ishee biratti argamuu illee ni dide.
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he did not listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 Gaaf tokko Yoosef hojii isaa hojjechuuf mana seene; tajaajiltoota warra mana sanaa keessaas namni tokko iyyuu achi hin turre.
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12 Isheenis wayyaa isaa qabattee, “Kottuutii na bira gaʼi!” jetteen. Inni garuu wayyaa isaa isheetti gad lakkisee fiigee manaa baʼe.
She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 Isheenis yommuu akka inni wayyaa isaa isheetti gad lakkisee fiigee manaa baʼe argitetti,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 hojjettoota mana ishee waamtee akkana jetteen; “Kunoo, inni Ibricha kana akka nutti taphatuuf fide! Inni na bira gaʼuuf natti ol seennaan ani sagalee guddaan iyye.
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 Innis gargaarsa barbaachaaf iyyuu koo dhageenyaan wayyaa isaa na biratti dhiisee fiigee manaa baʼe.”
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 Isheen hamma gooftaan isaa galutti wayyaa isaa of bira keesse.
She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 Akkana jettees oduu kana isatti himte: “Garbichi Ibrichi ati nuu fidde sun natti taphachuuf natti ol seene.
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 Garuu akkuma ani gargaarsa barbaachaaf iyyeen inni wayyaa isaa na biratti dhiisee fiigee manaa baʼe.”
and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 Gooftaan isaa yommuu oduu niitiin isaa, “Wanni garbichi kee na godhe kana” jettee itti himte sana dhagaʼetti aaree gubate.
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 Gooftaan isaas Yoosefin fuudhee mana hidhaa iddoo hidhamtoonni mootichaa itti eegaman keessa buuse. Taʼus yeroo Yoosef mana hidhaa keessa turetti,
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 Waaqayyo isa wajjin ture; fuula ajajaa mana hidhaa sanaa durattis gaarummaa isaa itti argisiise; akka fudhatamas argatu godhe.
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 Ajajaan mana hidhaa sunis namoota mana hidhaa jiran hunda irratti Yoosefin muude; waan achitti hojjetamu hunda irrattis itti gaafatamaa isa godhe.
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 Sababii Waaqayyo isa wajjin turee fi waan inni hojjetu kam iyyuu isaa milkeesseef ajajaan mana hidhaa sun waan itti gaafatama Yoosef jala jiru hundaaf yaaddoo tokko illee hin qabu ture.
The keeper of the prison did not look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
