Genesis 39 (WLO)

1Tangasaana incia sumai Yusuf abhawea i Mesir. Kasiimpomo, Potifar, pagawena maligena Firaun tee kapalana mojaganina raja, samia miana Mesir, aali Yusuf minaaka i limana miana Ismail mobhawea iwe sumai.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.

2KAWASANA OPU apoose tee Yusuf sabutuna incia amembali samia mokohasilina i nuncana karajaana. Incia amboore i bhanuana opuna, miana Mesir sumai.And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.

3Opuna akamatea ande Aulataʼala apoose tee Yusuf tee ande KAWASANA OPU apewaua sagala giu ikarajaana akohasili.When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,

4Sababuna, incia apeelu Yusuf tee aundaakea to alaiania. Incia uka apatugasiaka Yusuf to moʼatorona bhanuana tee sagala giu pewauana apasarakaakamea i nuncana kuasana Yusuf.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.

5Wakutuuna Yusuf apatugasiakea to moʼatorona bhanuana tee sagala pewauana KAWASANA OPU abarakatia antona bhanuana miana Mesir sumai roonamo Yusuf. Kabarakatina KAWASANA OPU ataralabhi-labhi i sagala pewauana, malape modhaangiana i nuncana bhanua atawa modhaangiana i inawu.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.

6Sumaimo, incia apasarakaakamea bhari-bharia pewauana i nuncana kuasana Yusuf, tee kahambana Yusuf incia indamo afaraluu afikiriaka opeopeapo uka, sambaliakana kinande to ikandena. Yusuf satotuuna samia amangada poningkarona tee amakesa rouna.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,

7Sapadhana pia-pia wakutuu kangengena, bhawinena Potifar, opuna, akamatamo Yusuf tee abirahi, kasiimpo apogau, "Maimo, kolemo tee iaku."and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”

8Maka, Yusuf amendeu tee apogau i bhawinena opuna sumai, "Satotuuna, tee kahambaku opuku sumai inda afaraluu afikiriaka opeopeapo uka i bhanua sii. Sagala giu pewauana apasarakaakamea i nuncana kuasaku.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.

9I nuncana bhanua sii inda dhaangia samia uka molabhina kaogena kuasana minaaka i iaku, tee opuku inda ataangi opeopeapo uka minaaka i iaku, tabeana bhawinena opuku. Tuaapa amembali kupewau kadhaki momaogena sii tee kukodosa i aroana Aulataʼala?"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?”

10Jadi, moomini incia awuju Yusuf saeo-saeo, Yusuf amendeu aperangoia kawujuna to akole tee incia, tee uka inda aunda apooseakea.Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.

11Saangu wakutuu, Yusuf apesua i nuncana bhanua to apewau karajaana. Inda samia uka modhaangiana i nuncana bhanua wakutuu incia sumai.One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.

12Kasiimpo, bhawine incia sumai akenimo jubana Yusuf apoose apogau, "Maimo, kole tee iaku!" Maka, Yusuf abholia jubana i limana bhawine sumai, kasiimpomo abuntuli i sambali.She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.

13Wakutuuna bhawine sumai akamatea ande Yusuf abholi jubana i limana tee abuntuli i sambali,When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,

14agoraakamea saangua antona bhanuana. Pogauna i manga incia, "Kamatea, umaneku abhawamea i ingkita samia Ibrani to amagamagasiaaka ingkita! Incia apesua to akole tee iaku, maka kupekee tee suara makaa.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.

15Wakutuu arangoa kupekee tee suara makaa, abholimea jubana i iaku kasiimpomo abuntuli i sambali."When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

16Bhawine sumai adhika jubana Yusuf i saripina sampe opuna ambuli i bhanua.So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

17Kasiimpo, bhawine sumai apetulatulaakamo i Potifar, onina, "Bhatua Ibrani ibhawamu to ingkita sumai aumba i iaku to amagamagasiaakaaku.Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,

18Maka, wakutuuna kupekee tee suara makaa, abholimea jubana i iaku, kasiimpo abuntuli i sambali."but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

19Sapadhana Potifar arango pogau ipakawaakana bhawinena i incia, "Mboo sumaimo bhatuamu apewauaku," sumaimo Potifar aʼamaramo mpuu.When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

20Yusuf uka aalamea o opuna, kasiimpo apapesuaia i nuncana katorongku, tampana manga mia itorongkuna raja atotaangi. Sabutuna atorongkumea Yusuf iwe sumai.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,

21Maka, KAWASANA OPU apoose tee Yusuf tee asusuakea kaasina to incia. Incia apewau kapalana katorongku sumai amaasiakea o Yusuf.the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

22Kasiimpo, kapalana katorongku sumai apasarakaakamea bhari-bharia mototaangina i nuncana katorongku sumai asaronakaakamea i Yusuf. Sagala giu motokarajaana iwe sumai, Yusuf mokarajaaia.And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

23Kapalana katorongku sumai indamo afaraluu uka aʼurusu sagala giu mopadhana ikenina Yusuf, sababuna KAWASANA OPU apoose tee Yusuf tee apamembalia opea ikarajaakana akohasili.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.
