1Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
1Yusuf telah dibawa ke Mesir oleh orang-orang Ismael itu, dan dijual kepada Potifar, seorang perwira raja yang menjabat kepala pengawal istana.
2Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
2TUHAN menolong Yusuf sehingga ia selalu berhasil dalam semua pekerjaannya. Ia tinggal di rumah tuannya, orang Mesir itu.
3His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
3Tuannya melihat bahwa TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan karena itu Yusuf berhasil baik dalam segala yang dikerjakannya.
4Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
4Potifar senang kepada Yusuf dan mengangkatnya menjadi pelayan pribadinya; lalu ditugaskannya Yusuf mengurus rumah tangganya dan segala miliknya.
5It happened from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Yahweh was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
5Sejak saat itu, demi Yusuf, TUHAN memberkati rumah tangga orang Mesir itu dan segala apa yang dimilikinya, baik yang di rumah maupun yang di ladang.
6He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
6Segala sesuatu yang dimiliki Potifar dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf. Dengan demikian Potifar sama sekali tidak mau tahu tentang urusan rumahnya, kecuali hal makanannya. Yusuf gagah dan tampan.
7It happened after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
7Selang beberapa waktu, istri Potifar mulai berahi kepada Yusuf, lalu pemuda itu diajaknya tidur bersama.
8But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
8Yusuf tidak mau dan berkata kepadanya, "Maaf, Nyonya, tuan Potifar telah mempercayakan segala miliknya kepada saya. Ia tidak perlu memikirkan apa-apa lagi di rumah ini.
9He isn’t greater in this house than I, neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
9Di sini kuasa saya sama besar dengan kuasanya. Tidak ada satu pun yang tidak dipercayakannya kepada saya kecuali Nyonya. Bagaimana mungkin saya melakukan perbuatan sejahat itu dan berdosa terhadap Allah?"
10As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
10Meskipun istri Potifar membujuk Yusuf setiap hari, pemuda itu tetap tidak mau tidur bersamanya.
11About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
11Pada suatu hari ketika Yusuf masuk ke dalam rumah untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, tidak ada seorang pun di situ.
12She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
12Istri Potifar menarik Yusuf pada jubahnya dan berkata, "Mari kita tidur bersama." Yusuf meronta dan dapat lepas, lalu lari ke luar, tetapi jubahnya tertinggal di tangan wanita itu.
13When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
13Ketika istri Potifar melihat bahwa Yusuf telah lari dan jubahnya tertinggal,
14she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
14ia memanggil pelayan-pelayannya dan berkata, "Coba lihat! Orang Ibrani yang dibawa suami saya ke rumah ini, menghina kita. Dia masuk ke dalam kamar saya dan mau memperkosa saya, tetapi saya berteriak keras-keras.
15It happened, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
15Waktu mendengar teriakan saya, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
16She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
16Lalu istri Potifar menyimpan jubah itu sampai suaminya pulang.
17She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
17Sekembalinya suaminya, ia segera menuturkan cerita itu kepadanya, katanya, "Orang Ibrani yang kaubawa ke mari itu, masuk ke dalam kamar untuk menghina saya.
18and it happened, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
18Tetapi ketika saya berteriak, ia lari ke luar dan jubahnya tertinggal."
19It happened, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” that his wrath was kindled.
19Potifar menjadi sangat marah.
20Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
20Dan ia memerintahkan supaya Yusuf segera ditangkap dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, tempat tahanan-tahanan raja dikurung.
21But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
21Tetapi TUHAN menolong Yusuf dan terus mengasihinya, sehingga kepala penjara suka kepadanya.
22The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
22Ia mempercayakan tahanan-tahanan lainnya kepada Yusuf, dan Yusuflah yang diserahi tanggung jawab atas segala pekerjaan yang dilakukan di dalam penjara itu.
23The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.
23Kepala penjara itu tidak lagi mengawasi segala yang dipercayakannya kepada Yusuf, karena TUHAN menolongnya sehingga dia berhasil dalam segala pekerjaannya.
