Genesis 39
1 Nígbà tí wọ́n mú Josẹfu dé Ejibiti, Potifari, ará Ejibiti tí i ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìjòyè Farao. Òun ni olórí àwọn ọmọ-ogun Farao. Ó ra Josẹfu lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Iṣmaeli tí wọ́n mú un lọ síbẹ̀.
And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.
2 Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú Josẹfu, ó sì bùkún un, ó sì ń gbé ní ilé ọ̀gá rẹ̀ ará Ejibiti.
And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,
3 Nígbà tí ọ̀gá rẹ̀ rí i pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, àti pé Olúwa jẹ́ kí ó máa ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ohun gbogbo tí ó dáwọ́ rẹ̀ lé.
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 Josẹfu sì rí ojúrere Potifari, ó sì di aṣojú rẹ̀, Potifari fi Josẹfu ṣe olórí ilé rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:
5 Láti ìgbà tí ó ti fi Josẹfu jẹ olórí ilé rẹ̀ àti ohun ìní rẹ̀ gbogbo, ni Ọlọ́run ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní bùkún àwọn ará Ejibiti nítorí Josẹfu. Ìbùkún Olúwa wà lórí gbogbo ohun tí Potifari ní, nílé àti lóko.
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
6 Ó sì fi Josẹfu ṣe àkóso gbogbo ohun tí ó ní. Kò sì ṣe ìyọnu lórí ohunkóhun mọ àyàfi nípa oúnjẹ tí ó ń jẹ láti ìgbà tí ó ti fi Josẹfu ṣe àkóso ilé e rẹ̀. Josẹfu sì jẹ́ arẹwà ọkùnrin ní ìdúró àti ìrísí rẹ̀,
Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
7 lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, aya rẹ̀ ṣe àkíyèsí Josẹfu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Wá bá mi lòpọ̀!”
And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n Josẹfu kọ̀, ó sì wí fún aya ọ̀gá rẹ̀ pé, “Kíyèsi, Olúwa mi kò fi ohunkóhun dù mi nínú ilé yìí, gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀ ni ó fi lé mi lọ́wọ́.
But he, in no wise consenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house:
9 Kò sí ẹni tí ó jù mi lọ nínú ilé yìí, ọ̀gá mi kò fi ohunkóhun dù mi àyàfi ìwọ, tí í ṣe aya rẹ̀. Báwo ni mo ṣe lè ṣe ohun búburú yìí, kí ń sì ṣẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run?”
Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife: how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God?
10 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé gbogbo ìgbà ni ó ń tẹnumọ́ èyí fún Josẹfu, Josẹfu kọ̀ láti bá a lòpọ̀. Ó tilẹ̀ kọ̀ láti máa dúró ni ibi tí ó bá wà.
With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
11 Ní ọjọ́ kan, Josẹfu lọ sínú ilé láti ṣe iṣẹ́, kò sì sí èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ní tòsí.
Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
12 Ó sì di aṣọ Josẹfu mú, ó sì wí pé, “Wá bá mi lòpọ̀!” Ṣùgbọ́n Josẹfu fi aṣọ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ sí i lọ́wọ́, ó sì sá jáde.
And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.
13 Nígbà tí ó rí i pé ó ti fi aṣọ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ sí òun lọ́wọ́, ó sì ti sá jáde,
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
14 ó pe àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ilé náà, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ wò ó, ọkọ ọ̀ mi mú Heberu kan wọlé tọ̀ wá wá láti fi wá ṣe ẹlẹ́yà. Ó wọlé tọ̀ mí wá, láti bá mi lòpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n mo kígbe.
She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,
15 Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ pé mo gbé ohùn mi sókè, tí mo sì kígbe, ó jọ̀wọ́ aṣọ rẹ̀ sọ́dọ̀ mi, ó sì sá, ó bọ́ sóde.”
And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
16 Ó sì fi aṣọ náà sọ́dọ̀ títí tí ọkọ rẹ̀ fi dé.
For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
17 Ó rò fún un pé, “Ẹrú ará Heberu tí o rà wá ilé láti fi wá ṣẹlẹ́yà wá láti bá mi lòpọ̀.
And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n bí mo ti kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì sá kúrò nínú ilé.”
And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
19 Nígbà tí Potifari gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ aya rẹ̀ pé báyìí ni ẹrú rẹ̀ ṣe sí aya rẹ̀, ó bínú gidigidi.
His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.
20 Ó sì ju Josẹfu sí ẹ̀wọ̀n, níbi tí a ń ju àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n ọba sí. Ṣùgbọ́n, nígbà tí Josẹfu wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n níbẹ̀,
And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
21 Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì ṣàánú fún un, ó sì mú kí ó rí ojúrere àwọn alábojútó ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n.
But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
22 Nítorí náà, alábojútó ọgbà ẹlẹ́wọ̀n fi Josẹfu ṣe alákòóso ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n, àti ohun tí wọn ń ṣe níbẹ̀.
Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
23 Wọ́dà náà kò sì mikàn nípa gbogbo ohun tí ó fi sí abẹ́ àkóso Josẹfu, nítorí pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Josẹfu, ó sì ń jẹ́ kí ó ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ohun gbogbo tí ó dáwọ́lé.
Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
