Senesi 39

1 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻa Siosefa ki ʻIsipite; pea ko Potifa ko e matāpule ʻa Felo, ko e pule ʻoe kau leʻo, ko e tangata ʻIsipite, naʻa ne fakatau ia ʻi he nima ʻoe kau ʻIsimeʻeli, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki ai.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

2 Pea naʻe ia Siosefa ʻa Sihova, pea ko e tangata monūʻia ia, pea naʻa ne ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene ʻeiki, ko e tangata ʻIsipite.

And YHWH was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 Pea mamata ʻene ʻeiki ki he ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova, pea mo e fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova ʻi hono nima ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai.

And his master saw that YHWH was with him, and that YHWH made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 Pea naʻe lelei ʻa Siosefa ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne ngāue kiate ia, pea ne fakanofo ia ke leʻohi hono fale, pea naʻa ne tuku ki hono nima ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē.

And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

5 Pea talu ʻae fakanofo ia ke leʻohi hono fale, pea mo ʻene meʻa fulipē, naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻae fale ʻoe tangata ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi ko Siosefa: pea ko e tāpuaki ʻa Sihova naʻe ʻi heʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ʻi he fale, pea ʻi he ngoue.

And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that YHWH blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of YHWH was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

6 Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ki he nima ʻo Siosefa; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokangaʻi ʻe ia haʻane meʻa, ka ko e mā pe naʻa ne kai. Pea ko e tangata sino lelei ʻa Siosefa mo toulekeleka.

And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

7 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakasiosio ʻae uaifi ʻoe ʻeiki ʻa Siosefa kiate ia; pea ne pehē, Haʻu ke ta mohe.

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

8 Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki ai, ʻo ne pehē ki he uaifi ʻo hono ʻeiki, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻi he fale, pea kuo ne tuku ia kotoa pē ki hoku nima:

But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

9 ‌ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku lahi hake ʻiate au ʻi he fale ni; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi au mei ha meʻa ʻe taha, ka ko Koe pe, koeʻuhi ko hono uaifi koe: pea ʻe fēfē ʻeku fai ʻae hala lahi ni, ke u halaia ai ki he ʻOtua?”

There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against Elohim?

10 Pea ʻi heʻene lea pe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē kia Siosefa, naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate ia, ke na mohe, pe ke ofi kiate ia.

And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

11 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe pehē, naʻe hū [ʻa Siosefa ]ki fale ke fai ʻene ngāue; pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻoe kakai ʻoe fale ʻi ai.

And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

12 Pea naʻa ne puke ki hono kofu, ʻo ne pehē, “Haʻu ke ta mohe;” ka naʻe siʻaki ʻe [Siosefa ]hono kofu ʻi hono nima, ka ka hola ia ʻo hao kituʻa.

And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

13 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata kuo tuku hono kofu ki hono nima, pea kuo hola ia kituʻa,

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

14 Naʻa ne ui ki he kau tangata ʻo hono fale, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, kuo ne ʻomi ʻae Hepelū ni ke pauʻusiʻi mai kiate kitautolu: naʻe haʻu ia kiate au ke ma mohe mo ia, pea u kalanga ʻi he leʻo lahi:”

That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

15 Pea kuo fanongo ia kuo u hiki hoku leʻo ʻo kalanga, ʻiloange, naʻa ne siʻaki hono kofu kiate au, ka ka hola, pea mole kituaʻā.

And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

16 Pea naʻa ne tuku maʻu hono kofu, kaeʻoua ke haʻu ʻene ʻeiki.

And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.

17 Pea naʻa ne lea kiate ia ʻi he lea ni, ʻo pehē, “Ko e tamaioʻeiki Hepelū naʻa ke ʻomi kiate kitautolu, naʻe haʻu kiate au ke pauʻu mai kiate au.

And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:

18 Pea ʻi heʻeku hiki hake hoku leʻo ʻo kalanga, ʻiloange, naʻa ne siʻaki hono kofu kiate au, pea hola kituaʻā.”

And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

19 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa ʻene ʻeiki ki he ngaahi lea ʻa hono uaifi, ʻaia naʻa ne lea ʻaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, naʻe fai pehē ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kiate au; naʻe tupu ai ʻene ʻita lahi.

And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

20 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻa Siosefa ʻe heʻene ʻeiki, ki he fale fakapōpula, ki he potu naʻe haʻi ai ʻae kau pōpula ʻae tuʻi: pea naʻe nofo ai ia ʻi he fale fakapōpula.

And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

21 Ka naʻe ia Siosefa ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne ʻaloʻofa kiate ia, mo ne fakaʻofeina ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tauhi fale fakapōpula.

But YHWH was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

22 Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tauhi fale fakapōpula ki he nima ʻo Siosefa ʻae kau pōpula kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he fale fakapōpula; pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau fai, naʻe fai maʻana.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

23 Naʻe ʻikai vakai ʻe he tauhi fale fakapōpula ki ha meʻa ʻe taha naʻe ʻi hono nima; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova, pea ko ia naʻa ne fai, naʻe fakamonūʻia ia ʻe Sihova.

The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because YHWH was with him, and that which he did, YHWH made it to prosper.
