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.
Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
2 Yoosefis waan Waaqayyo isa wajjin tureef nama milkaaʼaa taʼe; innis mana gooftaa isaa namicha biyya Gibxi sanaa jiraate.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
3 Gooftaan isaas akka Waaqayyo isa wajjin jiruu fi akka Waaqayyo waan inni hojjetu hunda keessatti isa milkoomse arge;
And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
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.
So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.
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.
And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD 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;
So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
7 niitiin gooftaa isaas waan kana booddee ija ishee Yoosef irra buufattee, “Kottuu na bira gaʼi!” jetteen.
And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep 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, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.
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?”
There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, and sin against God?"
10 Isheen guyyuma guyyaan Yoosefitti dubbattu iyyuu, inni ishee bira gaʼuu yookaan ishee biratti argamuu illee ni dide.
And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with 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.
Now it happened about this time that 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 grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And 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, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 Innis gargaarsa barbaachaaf iyyuu koo dhageenyaan wayyaa isaa na biratti dhiisee fiigee manaa baʼe.”
It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
16 Isheen hamma gooftaan isaa galutti wayyaa isaa of bira keesse.
She left 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.
And she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'
18 Garuu akkuma ani gargaarsa barbaachaaf iyyeen inni wayyaa isaa na biratti dhiisee fiigee manaa baʼe.”
But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
19 Gooftaan isaa yommuu oduu niitiin isaa, “Wanni garbichi kee na godhe kana” jettee itti himte sana dhagaʼetti aaree gubate.
And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.
20 Gooftaan isaas Yoosefin fuudhee mana hidhaa iddoo hidhamtoonni mootichaa itti eegaman keessa buuse. Taʼus yeroo Yoosef mana hidhaa keessa turetti,
Then 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 prison.
21 Waaqayyo isa wajjin ture; fuula ajajaa mana hidhaa sanaa durattis gaarummaa isaa itti argisiise; akka fudhatamas argatu godhe.
But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness 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 put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.
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 paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
