Genesis 39 (TCZCHONG)

1Joseph chu Egypt gam'a ana puijun hiche apat a chu Ishmael sum-kolvei mihon Potiphar kitipa kom'a ana joh un ahi. Potiphar natoh chu Egypt lengpa Pharaoh sepai lamkai a pang ahi.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.

2Pathen'in Joseph chu aumpi jingin, hijeh chun Egypt gamsunga abol lam jousea alolhing jingin ahi.And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.

3Joseph chu Pathen'in aumpi chu athil bolna jousea kon'in apupan ahin muchen tan ahi.When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,

4Hichun Potiphar chu Joseph chunga alunglhai lheh jengin, Joseph chu ama ban tah in akoi tan ahi. Chule Potiphar in Joseph chu a insung jouse chule anei agou jouse vetup dingin atungdoh tan ahi.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.

5Hiche nia pat a chun Joseph chu apupa Potiphar in insunga ima jouse vetup in anganse tai, chule Joseph chonphat jeh chun Pakai phatthei bohna chu Potiphar insunga achutan ahi. Hiti chun a insung a thil ijakai akitup tan, chule alousohga ho ahin chuleh agancha ho jong apung thei tauvin ahi.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.

6Hichun Potiphar in Joseph chu ama insung vetup ding le anei agou ho jouse vetup dingin thaneina jouse apedohtai, chule Joseph umjeh chun aman imacha ah akisaboi tapon, lungkhamna jong aum tapon, chule aneh ding anneh tilou thil dang athil dang imacha ahepha tapoi. Joseph chu mi mel-hoitah vetnom nom um khat ahi.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,

7Chule phat chomkhat jouvin, apupa loinun Joseph chu ahin velel tan, “Hung in eini lumkhom hitin kitimat hite tin Joseph chu ajol tai.”and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”

8Amavang Joseph anom pon, Joseph in Potiphar inneipi chu hitin adonbut e, “Ka pupan hiche insunga thil ho jouse vetup dinga ei nganse ahi.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.

9Hiche insunga hi keima tilou thanei dang aumpoi, kapupan nangma chunga thaneina eipe poi, ajeh chu nangma aloinu nahi jeh in hitobang thil phalou chu iti keiman katoh a Pathen douna a chonset kabol ding ham,” ati.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?”

10Hiti chun amanun aniseh in Joseph chu ano ano jengin, amavang Joseph chu amanu toh lupkhom a kitimat ding chu pum noplou ahin, ahithei chan a jammang ding joh chu agot ahiye.Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.

11Nikhat vang chu koimacha umlouna achun Joseph chu ama ngaiya natong dingin achen ahi.One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.

12Amanu chu ahung lut in asangkhol ah akaijin, “Hung loiyin eini ilup khom lhon ding ahi!” ati. Hichun Joseph in asangkhol asut lhan akitom doh tai. Ahin asangkhol chu Potiphar loinu khut a adalha den tan ahi.She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.

13Hichun Joseph la ajamdoh tan ahin amanun akhut a um asangkhol chu achoiyin,When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,

14Amanun insunga asohte jouse akou khom sohkeijin, hiche phat chun pasal jousen ahin dellut cheh un, amanun hitin aseiye, “Veuvin! Ei ngolbol diuvin hiche Hebrew sohpa hi kajipan ahin puilut e! Amapa hi kei suse din ka insung denna ahunglut in, ahin keima o sangtah in kapeng in ahi.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.

15Keima hatah a o sangtah a kapen phat in polam a ajamdoh in alhaimang tai, ahin aman asangkholchol chu kakom'a adalha dentai” ati.When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

16Hiti chun amanun sangkhol chu aloipa in ahung lhun masang'in phate chan akoitup sellin ahi.So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

17Hichun amanun aloipa kom'a thusoh ho chu aseitai; “Hebrew sohpa nahin puilut pa khun insunga ahung lut in suhset ding eigoi,” atitai.Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,

18Amavang keima o sangtah a kapen phat in polam ah ajamdoh in a sangkhol adalhah ahi.but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

19Hichun Potiphar chun ajinu thusim Joseph in amanu chunga athilbol chu ajahdoh phat chun hatah in alunghang lheh tan.When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

20Hijeh chun Potiphar in Joseph chu songkul'a akoitan chule lengpa songkul'a umho to akihen khom un, ama jong hiti chun aum den tai.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,

21Ahin Pathen'in Joseph chu songkul'a jong aumpi jingin, angailutna ho jong avetsah jingin chule Pathen'in Joseph chu songkul ngahpa to jong kingailutna apekit tai.the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

22Phat chomkhat jouvin songkul ngahpan Joseph chu songkul'a umho lah a alenpen in akoitan, hiche songkul sunga thilsoh bouina jouse chu Joseph thaneina noiya akoitai.And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

23Pathen'in Joseph chu aumpi jeh in imacha boina aum tapoi, athil bolna anatohna jouse alolhingsel in hijeh chun songkul ngahpa jong imacha aboi tapoi, ajeh chu thil jouse Joseph in anga jeh chun imacha aphamo ding aumpoi.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.
