< 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.
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 Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú Josẹfu, ó sì bùkún un, ó sì ń gbé ní ilé ọ̀gá rẹ̀ ará Ejibiti.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
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.
And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
4 Josẹfu sì rí ojúrere Potifari, ó sì di aṣojú rẹ̀, Potifari fi Josẹfu ṣe olórí ilé rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
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 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 it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
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,
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 lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, aya rẹ̀ ṣe àkíyèsí Josẹfu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Wá bá mi lòpọ̀!”
And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep 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 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 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?”
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 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.
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 Ní ọjọ́ kan, Josẹfu lọ sínú ilé láti ṣe iṣẹ́, kò sì sí èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ní tòsí.
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 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.
She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
13 Nígbà tí ó rí i pé ó ti fi aṣọ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ sí òun lọ́wọ́, ó sì ti sá jáde,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
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 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 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.”
It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
16 Ó sì fi aṣọ náà sọ́dọ̀ títí tí ọkọ rẹ̀ fi dé.
She left his garment by her, until his master came 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 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 Ṣùgbọ́n bí mo ti kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì sá kúrò nínú ilé.”
But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
19 Nígbà tí Potifari gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ aya rẹ̀ pé báyìí ni ẹrú rẹ̀ ṣe sí aya rẹ̀, ó bínú gidigidi.
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 Ó sì ju Josẹfu sí ẹ̀wọ̀n, níbi tí a ń ju àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n ọba sí. Ṣùgbọ́n, nígbà tí Josẹfu wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n níbẹ̀,
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 Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì ṣàánú fún un, ó sì mú kí ó rí ojúrere àwọn alábojútó ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n.
But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the 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.
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 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.
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.
