1 Zvino Josefa akanga atorwa akaendeswa kuIjipiti. Potifa muIjipita uyo akanga ari mumwe wamachinda aFaro ari mukuru wavarindi, akamutenga kuvaIshumaeri avo vakanga vamuendesa ikoko.
Ioseph was brought vnto Egipte ad Putiphar a lorde of Pharaos: ad his chefe marshall an Egiptian bought him of ye Ismaelites which brought hi thither
2 Jehovha akanga ana Josefa uye akaita kuti abudirire, uye aigara mumba momuIjipita, tenzi wake.
And the LORde was with Ioseph and he was a luckie felowe and continued in the house of his master the Egiptian.
3 Tenzi wake akati achiona kuti Jehovha akanga anaye uye kuti Jehovha akamuita kuti abudirire muzvinhu zvose zvaakanga achiita,
And his master sawe that the ORde was with him and that the LORde made all that he dyd prosper in his hande:
4 Josefa akawana nyasha pamberi pake uye akava mubatiri wake. Potifa akamuita kuti ave mutariri weimba yake, uye akamuita muchengeti wezvinhu zvose zvakanga zviri zvake.
Wherfore he founde grace in his masters syghte and serued him. And his master made him ruelar of his house and put all that he had in his hande.
5 Kubvira panguva yaakamuisa kuti ave mutariri weimba yake nowezvinhu zvose zvaaiva nazvo, Jehovha akaropafadza imba yomuIjipita nokuda kwaJosefa. Maropafadzo aJehovha akanga ari pamusoro pezvinhu zvose zvakanga zviri zvaPotifa, zvose mumba nomumunda.
And as soone as he had made him ruelar ouer his house ad ouer all that he had the LORde blessed this Egiptians house for Iosephs sake and the blessynge of the LORde was vpon all that he had: both in the house and also in the feldes.
6 Saka akaisa mumaoko aJosefa zvinhu zvose zvaakanga anazvo; Josefa ari mutariri, iye haana kumbova nehanya nezvimwe zvinhu kunze kwezvokudya zvaaidya bedzi. Zvino Josefa akanga akanyatsoumbwa, akanaka,
And therfore he left all that he had in Iosephs hande and loked vpon nothinge that was with him saue only on the bread which he ate. And Ioseph was a goodly persone and a well favored
7 uye shure kwechinguva mukadzi watenzi wake akatarira Josefa ndokubva ati kwaari, “Uya uzovata neni!”
And it fortuned after this that his masters wife cast hir eyes vpon Ioseph and sayde come lye with me.
8 Asi akaramba. Akati kwaari, “Ini somutariri, tenzi wangu haana kuva nehanya nezvinhu zvose zviri mumba make; zvose zvaanazvo, akazviisa mumaoko angu.
But he denyed and sayde to her: Beholde my master woteth not what he hath in the house with me but hath commytted all that he hath to my hande
9 Hamuna munhu mukuru muno mumba kupfuura ini. Tenzi wangu havana kundinyima kana chinhu chimwe zvacho kunze kwenyu, nokuti imi muri mukadzi wavo. Zvino ndingaitirei chinhu chakaipa kudai uye ndichitadzira Mwari?”
He him selfe is not greatter in the house than I ad hath kepte nothige fro me but only the because thou art his wife. How than cam I do this great wykydnes for to synne agaynst God?
10 Uye kunyange zvake aitaura naJosefa zuva nezuva, iye akaramba kuenda panhoo naye, kana kutombova naye.
And after this maner spake she to Ioseph daye by daye: but he harkened not vnto her to slepe nere her or to be in her company.
11 Rimwe zuva akapinda mumba kuti andoita mabasa ake, uye kwakanga kusina mumwe wavashandi vomumba aivamo.
And it fortuned aboute the same season that Ioseph entred in to the house to do his busynes: and there was none of the houshold by in the house.
12 Akamubata nejasi rake uye akati, “Uya kumubhedha uzovata neni!” Asi akasiya jasi rake muruoko rwake akamhanya ndokubuda kunze kwemba.
And she caught him by the garment saynge: come slepe with me. And he left his garment in hir hande ad fled and gott him out
13 Akati aona kuti asiya jasi rake muruoko rwake uye kuti akanga abuda kunze kwemba,
when she sawe that he had left his garmet in hir hande and was fled out
14 akadanidzira kuvashandi, akati, “Tarirai, muHebheru uyu akauyiswa kwatiri kuti azotidadira! Apinda muno kuti azovata neni, asi ndaridza mhere.
she called vnto the men of the house and tolde them saynge: Se he hath brought in an Hebrewe vnto vs to do vs shame. for he came in to me for to haue slept myth me. But I cried with a lowde voyce.
15 Paanzwa ndoridza mhere kuti ndibatsirwe, abva asiya jasi rake pandiri ndokutizira kunze kwemba.”
And when he harde that I lyfte vp my voyce and cryed he left his garment with me and fled awaye and got him out.
16 Akachengeta jasi rake parutivi pake kusvikira tenzi wake auya kumba.
And she layed vp his garment by her vntill hir lorde came home.
17 Ipapo akamutaurira nyaya iyi akati, “Uya muranda wechiHebheru wamakauyisa kwatiri akauya kwandiri kuti azondidadira.
And she told him acordynge to these wordes saynge. This Hebrues servaunte which thou hast brought vnto vs came in to me to do me shame.
18 Asi pandangoridza mhere kuti ndibatsirwe, akabva asiya jasi rake pandiri ndokutizira kunze kwemba.”
But as soone as I lyft vp my voyce and cryed he left his garment with me and fled out.
19 Tenzi wake akati anzwa nyaya yaakaudzwa nomukadzi wake achiti, “Izvi ndizvo zvandakaitirwa nomuranda wako,” akavira nehasha.
When his master herde the woordes of his wyfe which she tolde him saynge: after this maner dyd thy servaunte to me he waxed wrooth.
20 Tenzi waJosefa akamutora akamuisa mutorongo, nzvimbo yaichengeterwa vasungwa vamambo; saka akava mutorongo.
And he toke Ioseph and put him in pryson: euen in the place where the kinges prisoners laye bounde. And there contynued he in preson.
21 Jehovha akava naJosefa; akamunzwira tsitsi akamuitira nyasha pamberi pomutariri womutorongo.
But the LORde was with Ioseph ad shewed him mercie and gott him fauoure in the syghte of the keper of ye preson
22 Saka mutariri womutorongo akaita kuti Josefa ave mutariri wavose vaiva vakabatwa mutorongo, uye ndiye aiona nezvose zvaiitwa imomo.
which commytted to Iosephe hade all the presoners that were in the preson housse. And what soeuer was done there yt dyd he.
23 Mutariri wetorongo akanga asina hanya nechinhu chipi zvacho chaiva pasi paJosefa, nokuti Jehovha akanga ana Josefa uye akaita kuti abudirire pane zvose zvaaiita.
And the keper of the preso loked vnto nothinge that was vnder his hande because the LORde was with him and because that what soeuer he dyd the LORde made it come luckely to passe.
