Genesis 39
1 Meanwhile, Joseph was led into Egypt. And Putiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, a leader of the army, an Egyptian man, purchased him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, by whom he was brought.
Yusuf telah dibawa ke Mesir oleh orang-orang Ismael itu, dan dijual kepada Potifar, seorang perwira raja yang menjabat kepala pengawal istana.
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a man who prospered in everything that he did. And he lived in the house of his lord,
TUHAN menolong Yusuf sehingga ia selalu berhasil dalam semua pekerjaannya. Ia tinggal di rumah tuannya, orang Mesir itu.
3 who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and that all the things that were done by him were directed by his hand.
Tuannya melihat bahwa TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan karena itu Yusuf berhasil baik dalam segala yang dikerjakannya.
4 And Joseph found favor in the sight of his lord, and he ministered to him. And, having been placed in charge of everything by him, he governed the house that was entrusted to him and all the things that had been delivered to him.
Potifar senang kepada Yusuf dan mengangkatnya menjadi pelayan pribadinya; lalu ditugaskannya Yusuf mengurus rumah tangganya dan segala miliknya.
5 And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian, because of Joseph, and he multiplied all his substance, as much in the buildings, as in the fields.
Sejak saat itu, demi Yusuf, TUHAN memberkati rumah tangga orang Mesir itu dan segala apa yang dimilikinya, baik yang di rumah maupun yang di ladang.
6 Neither did he know anything other than the bread that he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form, and stately in appearance.
Segala sesuatu yang dimiliki Potifar dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf. Dengan demikian Potifar sama sekali tidak mau tahu tentang urusan rumahnya, kecuali hal makanannya. Yusuf gagah dan tampan.
7 And so, after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Sleep with me.”
Selang beberapa waktu, istri Potifar mulai berahi kepada Yusuf, lalu pemuda itu diajaknya tidur bersama.
8 And without consenting at all to the wicked act, he said to her: “Behold, my lord has delivered all things to me, and he does not know what he has in his own house.
Yusuf tidak mau dan berkata kepadanya, "Maaf, Nyonya, tuan Potifar telah mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada saya. Ia tidak perlu memikirkan apa-apa lagi di rumah ini.
9 Neither is there anything which is not in my power, or that he has not delivered to me, except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this evil act and sin against my God?”
Di sini kuasa saya sama besar dengan kuasanya. Tidak ada satu pun yang tidak dipercayakannya kepada saya kecuali Nyonya. Bagaimana mungkin saya melakukan perbuatan sejahat itu dan berdosa terhadap Allah?"
10 With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.
Meskipun istri Potifar membujuk Yusuf setiap hari, pemuda itu tetap tidak mau tidur bersamanya.
11 Then it happened, on a certain day, that Joseph entered the house, and he was doing something, without any witnesses.
Pada suatu hari ketika Yusuf masuk ke dalam rumah untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, tidak ada seorang pun di situ.
12 And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, “Sleep with me.” But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.
Istri Potifar menarik Yusuf pada jubahnya dan berkata, "Mari kita tidur bersama." Yusuf meronta dan dapat lepas, lalu lari ke luar, tetapi jubahnya tertinggal di tangan wanita itu.
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,
Ketika istri Potifar melihat bahwa Yusuf telah lari dan jubahnya tertinggal,
14 she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: “Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,
ia memanggil pelayan-pelayannya dan berkata, "Coba lihat! Orang Ibrani yang dibawa suami saya ke rumah ini, menghina kita. Dia masuk ke dalam kamar saya dan mau memperkosa saya, tetapi saya berteriak keras-keras.
15 and he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
Waktu mendengar teriakan saya, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
16 As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.
Lalu istri Potifar menyimpan jubah itu sampai suaminya pulang.
17 And she said: “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.
Sekembalinya suaminya, ia segera menuturkan cerita itu kepadanya, katanya, "Orang Ibrani yang kaubawa ke mari itu, masuk ke dalam kamar untuk menghina saya.
18 And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
Tetapi ketika saya berteriak, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
19 His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.
Potifar menjadi sangat marah.
20 And he delivered Joseph into prison, where the prisoners of the king were kept, and he was enclosed in that place.
Dan ia memerintahkan supaya Yusuf segera ditangkap dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, tempat tahanan-tahanan raja dikurung.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and, having mercy on him, he gave him favor in the sight of the leader of the prison,
Tetapi TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan terus mengasihinya, sehingga kepala penjara suka kepadanya.
22 who delivered into his hand all the prisoners who were held in custody. And whatever was done, was under him.
Ia mempercayakan tahanan-tahanan lainnya kepada Yusuf, dan Yusuflah yang diserahi tanggung jawab atas segala pekerjaan yang dilakukan di dalam penjara itu.
23 Neither did he himself know anything, having entrusted all things to him. For the Lord was with him, and he directed everything that he did.
Kepala penjara itu tidak lagi mengawasi segala yang dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf, karena TUHAN menolongnya sehingga dia berhasil dalam segala pekerjaannya.
