ZAJP
Usufu kasoligwa mbaka Misili. Potifa Mmisili, ayo yakalile imwe wa wakulu wa silikali, ayo vivija yakalile kilangizi wa wemilizi wa ng'anda ya Falao, mndewa wa Misili, kamgula kulawa ha Wasumaili, awo wakalile wamgalile haja.
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
ZAJP
MNDEWA kakala na Usufu na kakala yammoteze m'vinhu vose viyatendile, kakala yokala mng'anda ya Potifa.
BSB
BSB:
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3
ZAJP
Potifa viyonile kamba MNDEWA ka hamoja na Usufu na kamba MNDEWA kammoteza mkila kinhu kiyatendile,
BSB
BSB:
When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
4
ZAJP
mbuli ino imnogela ng'hani Potifa avo kamtenda yawe mtumigwa wake heyo mwenyego. Potifa kamtenda Usufu kuwa mkulu wa ng'anda yake yose na kavika vinhu vake vose hasi yake heyo.
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
ZAJP
Songela kipigiti kiyamtendile heyo kuwa mkulu wa ng'anda yake yose na vinhu vake vose, MNDEWA kaimoteza ng'anda yose ya Potifa sama ya Usufu. Motelo za MNDEWA zikala uchana ya vinhu vose viyakalile navo Potifa, vinhu vikalile mng'anda na vikalile mmigunda.
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
ZAJP
Avo kila kinhu kiyakalilenacho Potifa kakika hasi ya wimilizi wa Usufu. Potifa hasang'hanike na kinhu chochose ila mandia gayadile. Usufu kakala yalumbigwe vinogile na kakala yanogile mmeso ga wanhu.
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
ZAJP
Vikibitile kipigiti kidodo, mtwanzi wa Potifa kamulola Usufu na kulonga, “Izo uwase na nie!”
BSB
BSB:
and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
8
ZAJP
Ila heyo kalema na kumulongela, “Mndewa wangu hasang'hanika na kinhu chochose mng'anda ino, ila nie, kwavija nie kanika niwe mkulu wa vinhu vose viyalinavo.
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
ZAJP
Haduhu munhu yali mkulu mng'anda ino kunibanza nie. Na hanizuilile kinhu chochose ila gweye, kwavija gweye kwa mwehe wake, nitendeze mbuli ino ihile, nimtendele vilozo Mulungu?”
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
ZAJP
Kamnanahila Usufu mianza bwando, ila heyo kalema kuwasa nayo na hata kumkwenhukila.
BSB
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
ZAJP
Zua dimwe Usufu kengila mng'anda kutenda sang'hano zake, na haduhu mtumigwa yoyose wa mng'anda yakalile muja mng'anda.
BSB
BSB:
One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
12
ZAJP
Mtwanzi wa Potifa kamgoga mkivalo chake na kulonga, “Izo uwase na nie!” Ila kakileka kivalo chake mumkono wake na kukimbila hanze.
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
ZAJP
Viyonile kamba kaleka kivalo chake mumkono wake na kukimbila hanze,
BSB
BSB:
When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14
ZAJP
kawakema watumigwa zake wa mng'anda na kuwalongela, “Loleni, mbigalo wangu kamgala Mueblania ino yeze kutugela kinyala! Kaningilila mng'anda giladi yawase na nie, avo nitoa nyangi,
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
ZAJP
na viyanihulike notoa nyangi, kakileka kivalo chake hamgwazo wangu, kakimbila na kulawa hanze.”
BSB
BSB:
When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16
ZAJP
Avo ija imtwanzi kakileka kivalo cha Usufu hamgwazo wake mbaka mbigalo wake viyabwelile.
BSB
BSB:
So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
17
ZAJP
Abaho kamulongela vino, “Ija inyakadala wa Kieblania yuutugalile keza kumwangu nie kunigela kinyala.
BSB
BSB:
Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
18
ZAJP
Ila vunitoile nyangi, kaleka kivalo chake hamgwazo wangu, kakimbila na kulawa hanze.”
BSB
BSB:
but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19
ZAJP
Potifa viyahulike gaja gayamsimulile mtwanzi wake, vija Usufu viyamtendele mtwanzi wake, kona lusango ng'hani.
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.
20
ZAJP
Potifa kamsola Usufu na kumwasa mkifungo, hanhu hawakalile wafungigwa wa mndewa wofungigwa, kakala himo mkifungo.
BSB
BSB:
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,
21
ZAJP
Ila MNDEWA kakala na Usufu na kumulagusila noge dilekile kuhungula, kamgwelela mhome ya kunogelwa na mkulu wa ikifungo.
BSB
BSB:
the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
22
ZAJP
Ija imkulu wa ikifungo kamtenda Usufu kuwa mkulu wa wafungigwa wose na kilangizi wa mbuli zose zitendeke muja mkifungo.
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Ija imkulu wa ikifungo hasang'hanike na kinhu chochose kikigwe mmakono ga Usufu, kwavija MNDEWA kakala hamoja na heyo, na kutenda kila kinhu kiyatendile Usufu kinoge.
BSB
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.
