Ba-Isemayele yina nataka Yosefi na yinsi ya Ngipiti, tekisaka yandi na Potifale, mosi na bantu ya Ngipiti. Potifale vwandaka muntu yina Falawo vwandaka sadila kivuvu, mpe mfumu ya bankebi ya ntinu.
BSB
BSB:
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.
2

Yave vwandaka na Yosefi, ni yawu yina mambu ya yandi nyonso vwandaka simba. Yosefi vwandaka vwanda na yinzo ya mfumu ya yandi Potifale, mu-Ngipiti.
BSB
BSB:
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3
MKW
Potifale bakulaka ti Yave vwandaka na Yosefi, mpe Yave vwandaka sala ti mambu nyonso yina Yosefi vwandaka sala kusimba.
BSB
BSB:
When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
4
MKW
Yosefi kuzwaka lemvo na Potifale yina tulaka yandi ntwadisi ya yinzo ya yandi, mpe na bimvwama nyonso ya yandi.
BSB
BSB:
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.
5
MKW
Ntangu Yosefi bandaka kukengidila yinzo ya Potifale mpe bima ya yandi nyonso, Yave sakumunaka yinzo ya Potifale, mu-Ngipiti samu na Yosefi. Yave sakumunaka bima nyonso ya Potifale: Na yina vwandaka na yinzo, na yina vwandaka na bilanga ya yandi.
BSB
BSB:
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.
6
MKW
Ni yawu yina, Potifale bikaka bima nyonso ya yandi na maboko ya Yosefi, mpe yandi vwandaka sala dyaka kima mosi ve, kaka madya yina yandi vwandaka kudya. Yosefi vwandaka na nzutu ya kitoko, na kizizi ya kitoko na kutala.
BSB
BSB:
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,
7
MKW
Na manima ya mwa bilumbu, kento ya mfumu ya Yosefi, bandaka kuzola yandi. Mpe yandi zonzaka na Yosefi: «Kwiza vukisa mfulu na munu.»
BSB
BSB:
and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
8
MKW
Yosefi mangaka, mpe zonzaka na kento ya mfumu ya yandi: «Mfumu ya munu tulaka munu ntwadisi ya bima ya yandi nyonso. Yandi ke salaka dyaka ata kima mosi ve na yinzo.
BSB
BSB:
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.
9
MKW
Na yinzo yayi, ya kele ve na muntu yina me lutila munu bumfumu, mpe yandi me yimina munu kima mosi ve, kaka nge kento ya yandi. Wapi mutindu mu lenda sala dyambu ya yimbi ya mutindu yayi, mpe kusala disumu na meso ya Nzambi?»
BSB
BSB:
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?”
10
MKW
Konso kilumbu, Kento yango vwandaka zonza na Yosefi na kulala na yandi, mpe na kuvukisa mfulu na yandi. Kasi Yosefi vwandaka manga.

BSB:
Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
11

Kilumbu mosi, Yosefi kotaka na yinzo samu na kusala kisalu ya yandi. Bisadi ya yinzo vwandaka ve.

BSB:
One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
12
MKW
Kento ya Potifale simbaka yandi na kinkuti mpe zonzaka na yandi: «Kwiza vukisa mfulu na munu.» Kasi Yosefi bikilaka yandi kinkuti na maboko mpe kimaka na ngaanda ya yinzo.
BSB
BSB:
She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
13
MKW
Ntangu kento talaka ti Yosefi kimaka na ngaanda mpe bikilaka yandi kinkuti na maboko,
BSB
BSB:
When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14
MKW
yandi lookaka mpe bokilaka bisadi ya yinzo na kuzonza na bawu: «Oo! Beno kwiza, beno tala: mu-Ebeleyo yayi yina bakala ya munu natinaka beto ke na zola kusakinina beto. Yandi me kwiza sosa kuvukisa mfulu na munu, kasi mu me looka na ngolo.
BSB
BSB:
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.
15
MKW
Ntangu yandi me kuwa kulooka ya munu na kubokila, yandi me bika kinkuti ya yandi na lweka ya munu, mpe yandi me kima na ngaanda ya yinzo.»

When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

Yandi zabisaka yandi mambu kaka yina na kuzonza: «Mundongo ya mu-Ebeleyo, yina nge natinaka beto, me kwiza pene-pene ya munu, samu na kusakinina munu.
BSB
BSB:
Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
18
MKW
Kasi ntangu mu lookaka mpe bokilaka, yandi bikaka kinkuti ya yandi na lweka ya munu, mpe yandi kimaka na ngaanda ya yinzo.»
BSB
BSB:
but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19
MKW
Mfumu ya Yosefi kuwaka mambu yina kento ya yandi zabisaka yandi, dyambu yina Yosefi zolaka sala yandi. Mpe yandi kuzwaka nkele ya kulutila.
BSB
BSB:
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
23

Mfumu ya boloko vwandaka tala dyaka ve bisalu yina yandi pesaka na Yosefi, samu ti Yave vwandaka na Yosefi mpe yandi vwandaka sala ti mambu ya yandi nyonso kusimba.

BSB:
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.
