Genesis 39

1 Joseph had been taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelites, who had sold him to Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officers, the commander of the royal guard.

Leleꞌ naa, atahori Ismael ra ro Yusuf Masir neu. Sia naa, hambu malangga esa, nara na Potifar. Eni, malangga mia basa soldꞌadꞌu mana manea sia mane Masir ume panggat na. Potifar hasa nala Yusuf mia mana danggan ra, fo dadꞌi ate sia ume na. Sia naa, LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf, de ue-tatao nara basa se dadꞌi no maloleꞌ.

2 The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in his Egyptian master's house.

3 His master noticed that the Lord was with him and made him successful in everything he did.

Malangga na nita e tao ues malole na seli, ma nahine tebꞌe nae LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf.

4 Potiphar appreciated Joseph and his service, and put him in charge of his household and made him responsible for everything he owned.

Naa de malangga na hii ma namahere e. De ana soꞌu e dadꞌi mandor sia umen. Ana fee ne tao mataꞌ neu umen ma basa hata-heton.

5 From the time he put Joseph in charge and trusted him with all he had, the Lord blessed Potiphar's household because of Joseph. The Lord blessed everything he had, whether in his house or in his fields.

Huu Yusuf leo sia naa, de Lamatualain o fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu malangga, atahori Masir naa. Ume isi nara, hata-heto na, osi na, no ue-tatao na o dadꞌi maloleꞌ.

6 So Potiphar left Joseph to care for everything he owned. He didn't bother with anything except to decide what food he was going to eat. Now Joseph was handsome, having a good physique,

Huu Potifar mete Yusuf tao mataꞌ neu basa ue-tataos ra no maloleꞌ, naa de ana nda afiꞌ duꞌa saa saꞌ boe, nahineꞌ a naaꞌ a. Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf ia meulau na seli.

7 so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep with me!”

Ana nda feꞌe leo dooꞌ sia naa sa te, Potifar sao na nau no e. Boe ma ana kokoe Yusuf fo nae sungguꞌ no e.

8 But he turned her down, telling his master's wife, “Look, my master trusts me so much he doesn't even bother to find out how his household is running. He's put me in charge of everything he owns—

Te Yusuf nda nau sa. De nataa nae, “Afiꞌ taꞌo naa, inaꞌ! Te malangga ngga Potifar fee au koasa fo tao mataꞌ neu basa ue-tataos ra.

9 no one in this house has more authority than me! He hasn't held back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such an evil thing as this, and sin against God?”

Sia ume ia, nda hambu atahori sa toꞌu koasa lenaꞌ au sa. Malangga fee au koasa basa ume isiꞌ a, akaꞌ a inaꞌ fo hokoꞌ. Taꞌo bee de au tao deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ naa. Naa o au labꞌan Lamatualain hihiin.”

10 Day after day she persisted in asking him, but he refused to sleep with her and tried to avoid her.

Te mae onaꞌ naa o, tungga fai, malangga sao na akaꞌ kokoe nakandooꞌ a. Te Yusuf nda tao afiꞌ neu e sa.

11 But one day he went into the house to do his work and none of the other servants were there.

Lao esa ma, Yusuf ume rala neu, de nae mete ues nara. Faiꞌ naa, atahori nese ume.

12 She grabbed him by his clothing, and demanded, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his clothing in her hand, he ran out of the house.

Boe ma malangga sao na nema lea Yusuf badꞌu na, de nae, “Uma leo! Ia naa helaꞌ a hita ruꞌa nggita ena. Uma leo fo teu sungguꞌ.” Te Yusuf nda nau sa. De ana nalelea, sambe badꞌu na lufa hendiꞌ e. Boe ma ana nela dea neu. Te inaꞌ naa feꞌe toꞌu nahereꞌ badꞌu a.

13 Seeing that he'd left his clothing in her hand, and had ran out of the house,

Ana nita Yusuf nela hela badꞌu na ma,

14 she shouted out to her servants, “Look at this! He brought this Hebrew slave here to dishonor us! This man came to try and rape me, but I screamed at the top of my voice.

ana noꞌe atahori mana tao ues nara, de nafadꞌe nae, “We! Ima mita dei. Faꞌ ra tou Ibrani naa, masoꞌ au kama ngga. Ana nae parkosa au, te au nggasi uhereꞌ. Mete sie, ana hela badꞌu na, de nela dea neu. Au sao ngga nendi atahori ia nda maloleꞌ sa de tao naꞌamamaeꞌ a hita!”

15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”

16 She kept his clothing with her until her husband came home.

Boe ma ana toꞌu badꞌu naa losa sao na baliꞌ.

17 Then she told him her story. It went like this: “That Hebrew slave you brought here tried to come and dishonor me.

Sao na baliꞌ ma, ana dui nae, “Aꞌa e! Atahori Ibrani fo aꞌa noꞌ a, faꞌ ra ana mia au kama ngga rala, nae parkosa au.

18 But as soon as I screamed and called for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”

Te au randu uhereꞌ oꞌe atahori ra. De ana nela, lao hela badꞌu na.”

19 When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry.

Rena sao na dui taꞌo naa, boe ma Potifar namanasa seli.

20 He took Joseph and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed.

Ana denu reu toꞌu Yusuf, de tao e nisiꞌ maneꞌ a bui na rala.

21 But the Lord was with Joseph, showing him trustworthy love, and made the chief jailer pleased with him.

Te LAMATUALAIN nda liliiꞌ Yusuf sa. De Ana tulun e, losa malangga bui a o hii Yusuf,

22 So the chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners there and gave him the responsibility for running the prison.

ma namahere e boe. De ana fee ne tao mataꞌ neu basa atahori bui ra, ma basa ue-tataos sia naa ra.

23 The chief jailer didn't bother with anything for Joseph took care of it all for the Lord was with him and made him successful.

Huu naa, malangga nda tao mataꞌ neu saa-saa sia bui rala sa ena. LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali Yusuf nakandooꞌ a, de basa ue-tataos ra dadꞌi no maloleꞌ.
