Genesis 39 (TGLULB)

1Dinala si Jose pababa sa Ehipto. Binili siya ni Potipar, na isang opisyal at kapitan ng mga bantay ni Paraon at isang taga-Ehipto, mula sa mga Ismaelita, na nagdala sa kanya doon.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.

2Si Yahweh ay kasama ni Jose at siya'y naging mayamang tao. Nanirahan siya sa bahay ng kanyang amo na taga-Ehipto.And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.

3Nakita ng kanyang amo na kasama niya si Yahweh at lahat ng ginawa niya ay pinasagana ni Yahweh.When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,

4Nakitaan si Jose ng pabor sa kanyang paningin. Pinaglingkuran niya si Potipar. Ginawa ni Potipar na tagapangasiwa si Jose ng kanyang bahay, at lahat ng nasa kanya, nilagay niya lahat sa ilalim ng kanyang pangangalaga.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.

5Dumating ang panahon na ginawa siyang tagapangasiwa ng kanyang bahay at sa lahat ng kanyang pagmamay-ari, kaya pinagpala ni Yahweh ang buong bahay ng taga-Ehipto dahil kay Jose. Ang pagpapala ni Yahweh ay nasa lahat ng bagay na pagmamay-ari ni Potipar sa kanyang bahay at sa kanyang bukid.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.

6Inilagay ni Potipar ang lahat ng nasa kanya sa ilalim ng pangangalaga ni Jose. Hindi na niya kailangan mag-isip tungkol sa anumang bagay maliban sa pagkain na kinakain niya. Ngayon si Jose ay matipuno at kaakit-akit.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,

7Dumating ang panahon na pinagnanasaan si Jose ng asawa ng kanyang amo. Sinabi niya, “Sumiping ka sa akin”.and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”

8Ngunit tinanggihan niya ito at sabay sabi sa asawa ng kanyang amo, “Tingnan mo, ang amo ko ay di-nagbigay pansin sa kung ano ang pinaggagawa ko dito sa bahay, at nilagay niya lahat ng kanyang pag-aari sa ilalim ng aking pangangalaga.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.

9Walang mas nakakataas sa pamamahay na ito maliban sa akin. Wala siyang anumang pinagkait sa akin maliban sa iyo, dahil ikaw ang asawa niya. Paano ko kaya magagawa itong malaking kasamaan at magkakasala laban sa Diyos?”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?”

10Kinausap niya si Jose sa bawat araw, ngunit tumanggi pa rin siya na sipingan siya o para makasama siya.Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.

11Dumating ang isang araw na pumunta siya sa bahay para gawin ang kanyang gawain. Walang sinuman sa mga lalaki sa bahay ang naroon sa bahay.One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.

12Siya ay hinablot niya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang damit at sinabi, “Sipingan mo ako.” Naiwanan niya ang kanyang damit sa kanyang kamay, lumayo, at nagpunta sa labas.She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.

13Dumating ang panahon, nang makita niya na naiwanan ni Jose ang kanyang damit sa kanyang kamay at lumayo palabas,When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,

14tinawag niya ang mga lalaki sa kanyang bahay at sinabi sa kanila, “Tingnan ninyo, nagdala si Potipar ng isang Hebreo para hamakin tayo. Pinuntahan niya ako para sipingan ako, at ako ay sumigaw.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.

15Dumating ang panahon nang marinig niya akong sumigaw, naiwan niya ang kanyang damit sa akin, lumayo, at pumunta sa labas.”When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

16Tinabi niya ang damit hanggang sa makauwi ang kanyang amo sa bahay.So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

17Sinabi niya sa kanya ang paliwanag na ito, “Ang lingkod na Hebreo na dinala mo sa amin ay nagpunta sa akin para hamakin ako.Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,

18Nang sumigaw ako, iniwan niya ang kanyang damit sa akin at lumayo palabas.”but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

19Dumating ang panahon, nang marinig ng kanyang amo ang pagpapaliwanag ng kanyang asawa sa kanya, “Ito ang ginawa ng iyong lingkod sa akin,” siya ay naging labis na galit.When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

20Kinuha si Jose ng kanyang amo at siya ay nilagay sa bilangguan, ang lugar na kung saan nakakulong ang mga bilanggo ng hari. Siya ay naroon sa bilangguan.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,

21Ngunit si Yahweh ay kasama ni Jose at siya ay nagpakita katapatan sa tipan sa kanya. Siya ay binigyan niya ng kagandahang-loob sa paningin ng bantay ng kulungan.the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

22Binigay ng bantay ng kulangan sa kamay ni Jose ang pamamahala sa lahat ng bilanggo sa kulungan. Kahit anong gawin nila roon, si Jose ang namamahala.And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

23Wala ng inaalalang anuman ang bantay ng kulungan na nasa kamay ni Jose, dahil si Yahweh ay kasama niya. Kahit anong gawin niya, pinasagana siya ni Yahweh.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.
