Genesis 39 (LGA)

1Ego ko sa tatoni gore pa Ijipi si Josepa. Ko i Potipa, kai tinoni pa Ijipi isa kame ira na tinoni lalavata tai Pero ko na kutadi ira na tinoni kopu pa ruma vaipiu sa vai tekua sisa tadira na tinoni Isimeli qai toni gorenia ketakoi ko nona pinausu saunia.Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

2Ego I Iahova sa suvere tavitia si Josepa ko kai tinoni boboka sisa totonai sa suvere isa pa ruma tana ona iviva lavata na tinoni Ijipi.And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.

3Totonai sa gigilai nona iviva lavata sa vei I Iahova sa suvere tavitia sisa beto i Iahova sa vabobokai pa doru sakasava sa roitiniria poni,When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,

4I Potipa sa qerania sisa ko sa veinia nona tinoni kopu. Sa udukia sisa ko isa mina kuta uananiria sira pa ruma tana, beto sa vakole laoa pa limana isa sa dorudi na sakasava sa isongoria.Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.

5Ko podalai pa totoso isa sa udukia isa si Josepa ko sa kuta uananiria sa na tatamana tana tinoni Ijipi alepi beto pa dorudi na sakasava sa isongoria. Ego ko sa manania i Iahova sa na tatamana tana tinoni Ijipi alepi pa laena i Josepa beto na mana tai Iahova sa sa uli pa doru sakasava sa isongoria i Potipa, pa ona tatamana beto pa ona kobu ia.From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.

6Ko sa loa laonia pa limana i Josepa sa doru sakasava sa isongoria ko sake pavu vajujuno mulenia mekana kai sa goto isatugu na ona tetekuna gu sa tekua sa sa junonia isa. Ego i Josepa sa isongia na tini momorutuna beto na tini babata jonga,So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,

7ko nake sovaina tugu beto na maqotana na ona iviva lavata sa kole gogonani matana si Josepa ko pira saunia, <<Aria ko ta vaikole tavitioda,>> sau.and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”

8Ba sa daiona si Josepa ko, pira saunia sa na maqotana nona iviva lavata, <<Doru sakasava pa ruma api,>> sa <<Na iviva lavata taqu sa sa vakole lamea pa limaqu ara ko isa sake pavu vajunonia kai sa pa ruma alepi ura ara qa kuta uananiria sira.But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.

9Ko kepore mule sa kame sa poreveveina jolanisiu ara pa ruma alepi. Beto kepore mule sa kai sa sa aru mulenia isa taqu goto isatugu ao, ura na maqotana isa sao. Ko ai vei beto mana boka roitinia ara sa na sakasa ikikerena jola vei inara beto mana roitinia na sela pa moena na Tamasa?>> sau.No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”

10Ego ko na vaituti rane gu sa kole tepai isa si Josepa ba i Josepa sa daiona nongoria ko sa daiona kole tavitia babi daiona suvere tavitia sisa.Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.

11Ego kai rane i Josepa sa tome pa ruma ko mi roitiniria tugu nona roiti sau, ba totonai sa kepore sosoto sa kai tinoni roiti bi suvere pa leona na rumaOne day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.

12Ko sa kalo tekua sa nona titivi ko pira saunia, <<Aria ko ta vaikole tavitioda,>> sau, Ba i Josepa sa uele vakole pale pa limana isa sa nona titivi beto sa uku votuona pa peguru.She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.

13Totonai sa batia sa uele vakolea nona titivi pa limana beto sa uku votuon pa peguru si Josepa, poni saWhen she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,

14sa kuku uuiria sira nona tinoni roiti pa ruma beto pira sauniria, <<Dotu!>> <<Na tinoni Hiburu sa kamu tadagita alepi sa sa korapa vatorasagita gita. Sa tome lame taqu ko mi kole tavitisiu ara sau ba qa kuku uuinia ara.she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.

15Totonai sa nongoria qa uuigou ara agou, poni sa sa uele loa pale sa nona titivi pa keketaiqu ara api ko sa uku votuona pa peguru,>> sau sisa.When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

16Ko sa kopu vakoleania pa keketaina isa sa na titivi tai Josepa tinganai sa mule kamu pa ruma na marenena.So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

17Beto sa pojania na marenena sa na vavakato api, pira saunia, <<Na pinausu tinoni Hiburu isa qu vakamua tadagita ao ina sa sa tome taqu ko sa kole torasanisiu ara.Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,

18Ba isa tugu qa uui viviva ko qa kukuku ara sa, sa uele vakolea tugu pa keketaiqu ara sa nona titivi beto ko sa uku votuona,>> sau.but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

19Ego totonai sa nongoria nona iviva lavata sa na vavakato tana maqotana totonai na maqotana pira sau, <<Pira sa roiti veinisiu ara sa na pinausu tamu ina,>> saunia poni sa sa iku vuvurungia sa na iviva.When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

20Ko na iviva lavata tai Josepa sa aru tamania si Josepa ko sa gona laonia pa ruma vaipiu, pa ia ketakoi qai takopu ira na tinoni pareseni tana bangara. Ego ba totonai sa suvere pa leo ruma vaipiu si Josepa,So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,

21poni si Iahova sa suvere tavitia sisa beto sa vadogoronia nona vairoqu sisa ko sa vakanokia isa sa na bulona na tinoni kopu pa ruma vaipiu ko sa dogoro tavaraguania isa si Josepa.the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

22Ko na tinoni kopu pa ruma vaipiu sa udukia si Josepa ko isa sa na kuta tadira doru qai tapiu qai suvere pa ruma vaipiu, beto isa tugu vei sa lalaeniria sa doru sakasava qai taroiti ketakoi.And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

23Ko na tinoni kopu ba sake pavu vagalaniria sa doru sakasava qai kole pa kopu tai Josepa, ura i Iahova sa suvere tavitia sisa beto doru sakasava sa roitiniria isa sa i Iahova sa vapuraria.The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
