Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither.
Awo Yusufu bwe yatwalibwa e Misiri, Potifali omukungu wa Falaawo, omukulu w’abambowa Omumisiri n’amugula okuva ku Bayisimayiri abaamutwala e Misiri.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Mukama n’aba ne Yusufu n’aba n’omukisa ng’ali mu nnyumba ya mukama we Omumisiri.
3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Ne mukama we n’alaba nga Mukama amuwadde omukisa mu buli ky’akola.
4 And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
Awo Yusufu n’aganja nnyo mu maaso ga mukama we, n’amulabiriranga, n’amufuula omukulu we nnyumba ye ne byonna bye yalina.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he appointed him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
Okuva olwo Mukama n’awa omukisa ennyumba y’Omumisiri olwa Yusufu. Omukisa gwa Mukama ne guba ku byonna bye yalina, mu nnyumba ne mu nnimiro.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and, having him, he knew not aught save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was of beautiful form, and fair to look upon.
Awo Omumisiri n’ateeka byonna mu mikono gya Yusufu. Yusufu n’avunaanyizibwanga byonna okuggyako emmere mukama we gye yalyanga. Kyokka Yusufu yali mulungi nnyo, mubalagavu.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said: 'Lie with me.'
Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebbanga eriwerako, mukyala wa mukama we namutunuulira n’okwegomba era n’amugamba nti, “Weebake nange.”
8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife: 'Behold, my master, having me, knoweth not what is in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand;
Naye Yusufu n’agaana, n’agamba mukazi wa mukama we nti, “Laba, mukama wange yankwasa byonna ebiri mu nnyumba, n’abiteeka byonna mu mikono gyange,
9 he is not greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?'
era tewali n’omu ansinga mu nnyumba ye, tewali na kimu ky’atankwasa okuggyako ggwe, kubanga ggwe oli mukazi we. Kale nnyinza ntya okuyingira mu kwonoona okwenkanidde awo n’okusobya eri Katonda?”
10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
Newaakubadde muka mukama we yamutayirira, Yusufu ye teyamuwulira na mulundi na gumu.
11 And it came to pass on a certain day, when he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there within,
Naye lwali lumu Yusufu bwe yayingira mu nju okukola emirimu gye nga tewali n’omu mu nnyumba,
12 that she caught him by his garment, saying: 'Lie with me.' And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
muka mukama we n’akwata ekyambalo kya Yusufu nga bw’agamba nti, “Weegatte nange.” Yusufu n’amwesimatulako, ekyambalo kye ne kisigala mu ngalo z’omukazi wa mukama we. Ye n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
Naye omukazi bwe yalaba ng’asigazza ekyambalo kya Yusufu,
14 that she called unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying: 'See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
n’ayita abasajja ab’omu nnyumba ye n’abagamba nti, “Mulabe, yatuleetera Omwebbulaniya okutuduulira, yazze gye ndi okwebaka nange,
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out.'
bw’awulidde nga ndeekaana n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.”
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
Awo kwe kutereka ekyambalo okutuusa mukama wa Yusufu lwe yadda eka.
17 And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying: 'The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me.
Omukyala n’abuulira bba byonna ng’agamba nti, “Omuddu Omwebbulaniya gwe watuleetera, yayingidde gye ndi okunjooga.
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.'
Naye nabadde nakaleekaana, n’aleka ekyambalo kye gye ndi, n’adduka n’ava mu nnyumba.”
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying: 'After this manner did thy servant to me'; that his wrath was kindled.
Awo mukama wa Yusufu bwe yawulira ebigambo omukazi bye yamutegeeza ng’agamba nti, “Bw’ati ne bw’ati omuddu wo bwe yampisizza,” obusungu bwa bba ne bubuubuuka.
20 And 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 the prison.
Mukama wa Yusufu n’akwata Yusufu n’amuteeka mu kkomera omwasibirwanga abazzizza emisango eri kabaka.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Naye Mukama n’abeera ne Yusufu, n’amulaga okwagala kwe okutalojjeka. N’aganja nnyo mu maaso g’omukuumi w’ekkomera.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
Omukuumi w’ekkomera n’ateeka abasibe bonna mu mikono gya Yusufu, era buli ekyakolebwanga nga Yusufu y’akirinako obuvunaanyizibwa.
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
Omukuumi w’ekkomera nga tafaayo ku buli ekyalinga mu mikono gya Yusufu, kubanga Mukama yali naye, era Mukama n’amuwa omukisa mu buli kye yakolanga.
