Kejadian 39
1 Yusuf telah dibawa ke Mesir oleh orang-orang Ismael itu, dan dijual kepada Potifar, seorang perwira raja yang menjabat kepala pengawal istana.
And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.
2 TUHAN menolong Yusuf sehingga ia selalu berhasil dalam semua pekerjaannya. Ia tinggal di rumah tuannya, orang Mesir itu.
And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,
3 Tuannya melihat bahwa TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan karena itu Yusuf berhasil baik dalam segala yang dikerjakannya.
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 Potifar senang kepada Yusuf dan mengangkatnya menjadi pelayan pribadinya; lalu ditugaskannya Yusuf mengurus rumah tangganya dan segala miliknya.
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:
5 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.
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
6 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.
Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
7 Selang beberapa waktu, istri Potifar mulai berahi kepada Yusuf, lalu pemuda itu diajaknya tidur bersama.
And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
8 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.
But he, in no wise consenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house:
9 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?"
Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife: how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God?
10 Meskipun istri Potifar membujuk Yusuf setiap hari, pemuda itu tetap tidak mau tidur bersamanya.
With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
11 Pada suatu hari ketika Yusuf masuk ke dalam rumah untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, tidak ada seorang pun di situ.
Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
12 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.
And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.
13 Ketika istri Potifar melihat bahwa Yusuf telah lari dan jubahnya tertinggal,
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
14 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.
She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,
15 Waktu mendengar teriakan saya, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
16 Lalu istri Potifar menyimpan jubah itu sampai suaminya pulang.
For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
17 Sekembalinya suaminya, ia segera menuturkan cerita itu kepadanya, katanya, "Orang Ibrani yang kaubawa ke mari itu, masuk ke dalam kamar untuk menghina saya.
And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
18 Tetapi ketika saya berteriak, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
19 Potifar menjadi sangat marah.
His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.
20 Dan ia memerintahkan supaya Yusuf segera ditangkap dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, tempat tahanan-tahanan raja dikurung.
And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
21 Tetapi TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan terus mengasihinya, sehingga kepala penjara suka kepadanya.
But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
22 Ia mempercayakan tahanan-tahanan lainnya kepada Yusuf, dan Yusuflah yang diserahi tanggung jawab atas segala pekerjaan yang dilakukan di dalam penjara itu.
Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
23 Kepala penjara itu tidak lagi mengawasi segala yang dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf, karena TUHAN menolongnya sehingga dia berhasil dalam segala pekerjaannya.
Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
