Kinohi 39

1 U A laweia'ku la o Iosepa ilalo i Aigupita; kuaiia'ku la oia no Potipara, he luna na Parao, he luna o ka poe koa, a he kanaka no Aigupita, mai na lima aku o ka Isemaela, nana ia i lawe aku ilalo.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.

2 Me Iosepa no o Iehova, he kanaka ia i hoopomaikaiia, aia no ia ma ka hale o kona haku, he Aigupita.

And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.

3 Ike ae la kona haku, aia no o Iehova me Iosepa, a na Iehova no i pono ai ka hana a pau a kona lima.

And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.

4 A loaa ia Iosepa ka lokomaikaiia imua ona, a hookauwa aku ia nana, a hoolilo aku la oia ia ia i luna no kona ohua, a no kona waiwai a pau, a waiho aku la ia i kana mea a pau i kona lima.

And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.

5 Eia hoi kekahi, mai ka wa mai o kona hoolilo ana ia ia i luna no kona ohua, a maluna o kona mea a pau, hoopomaikai mai ke Akua i ko ka hale o ua kanaka Aigupita nei no Iosepa; a na Iehova no ka pomaikai o na mea a pau ona, ma ka hale, a ma ke kula.

And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.

6 A waiho iho la oia i kona mea a pau i na lima o Iosepa, aole ia i ike aku i kekahi mea nona, o ka ai ana i ai ai wale no. Ua maikai ke kino o Iosepa, he maikai no hoi ka maka.

And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.

7 A mahope iho o keia mau mea, ike mai la na maka o ka wahine a kona haku ia Iosepa, i mai la ia, E moe kaua.

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

8 Hoole aku la ia, i aku la i ka wahine a kona haku, Aia hoi, aole ike kuu haku i na mea ia'u ma keia hale, ua waiho mai nei ko'u haku i kana mea a pau i kuu lima:

But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:

9 Aohe mea nui e ae oloko o keia hale, owau wale no; aole keia i paa aku i kekahi mea ia'u, o oe wale no, no ka mea, o kana wahine no oe. Pehea la wau e hana'i i keia hewa nui, a hana ino aku i ke Akua?

and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?

10 Koi mai la oia ia Iosepa i keia la a i keia la, aole loa ia i hoolohe iki aku ia ia, e moe me ia, a e noho me ia.

And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,

11 Ia manawa iho, komo ae la o Iosepa iloko o ka hale, e hana i kana hana, aohe kanaka o ka hale iloko.

it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.

12 Apo mai la kela ia ia ma ke kapa ona, i mai la, E moe kaua. Haalele iho la ia i kona kapa ma ka lima ona, holo aku la a hiki iwaho.

And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.

13 A ike aku la ua wahine la, ua haalele ia i kona kapa ma kona lima, a ua holo aku la iwaho,

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,

14 Kahea aku la ua wahine la i na kanaka o kona hale, olelo aku la ia lakou, i aku la, E nana oukou, ua lawe mai nei kela i ke kanaka no ka poe Hebera io kakou nei, e hoomaewaewa mai ia kakou. Hele mai la oia io'u nei e moe me au, a kahea aku la au me ka leo nui;

that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

15 A lohe mai la kela i kuu hookiekie ana i kuu leo iluna, a i kuu hea ana aku, haalele iho nei oia i ke kapa ona ia'u, holo aku la a hiki iwaho.

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.

16 Malama iho la ua wahine la i kona kapa, a hoi mai la kona haku i ka hale.

So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.

17 Olelo aku la ua wahine la ia ia i keia mau olelo, i aku la, O ko kauwa Hebera, au i lawe mai ai io kakou nei, ua komo mai ia io'u nei e hoomaewaewa mai ia'u.

And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.

18 A hookiekie au i kuu leo iluna a kahea aku au, alaila, haalele iho la ia i ke kapa ona ia'u, a holo aku la iwaho.

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.

19 A lohe ae la kona haku i ka olelo a kana wahine i olelo mai ni ia ia, i ka i ana mai, E like me keia mau olelo i hana mai ai kau kauwa ia'u; nui iho la ka huhu ona.

And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.

20 Lalau mai la ka haku o Iosepa ia in, hahao aku la ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, i kahi i paa ai ka poe paa o ke alii, a paa no ia maluila ma ka halepaahao.

And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.

21 Me Iosepa no o Iehova, aloha nui mai la ia ia, a haawi mai la ia ia i ka pono imua o na maka o ka mea nana i malama ka halepaahao.

And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favor in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.

22 Waiho ae la ka mea nana i malama ka halepaahao i ka poe paa a pau oloko o ka halepaahao i ka lima o Iosepa, a o na mea a pau i hanaia malaila, nana no ia i hana.

And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.

23 Aole hoi i nana aku ka luna o ka halepaahao i kekahi mea malalo iho o kona lima, no ka mea, aia no o Iehova me ia, a hoopomaikai mai la o Iehova i ka hana a pau ana i hana'i.

Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
