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.
1 Amma i konda Yusufu Misira. Potifar Misirance mo, Firawna mantaw fo kaŋ ti doogarey jine funa, a n'a day Isumeylancey kambe ra, kaŋ yaŋ kond'a noodin.
2Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
2 Rabbi mo go Yusufu banda. A binde, a muraadu kulu go ga feeri. A go mo nga koyo Misiranca windo ra.
3His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
3 A koyo di kaŋ Rabbi go a banda. Rabbi mo naŋ hari kulu kaŋ Yusufu ga te, muraado ga feeri a kambe ra.
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.
4 Yusufu du gaakuri koyo do, a go no mo ga saajaw te a se. Koyne, koyo n'a daŋ nga windo boŋ jine fune. Haŋ kaŋ go a se kulu mo, a n'a daŋ Yusufu kambe ra.
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.
5 A ciya mo, za waato kaŋ a n'a daŋ nga windo jine fune, da haŋ kaŋ go nga se kulu boŋ, kala Rabbi na Misiranca windo albarkandi Yusufu sabbay se. Koyne, Rabbi albarka go hay kulu boŋ, fari wane da windo wane.
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.
6 Potifar na hari kulu kaŋ go nga se naŋ Yusufu kambe ra. A mana bay haŋ kaŋ go nga se, kala day nga me ŋwaaro kaŋ a ga ŋwa. Yusufu ga sogo, alboro hanno mo no.
7It happened after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
7 A te ka ciya woodin banda, kal a koyo wando na mo sinji Yusufu gaa. A ne: «Ma kani nda ay.»
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.
8 Amma Yusufu wangu. A ne nga koyo wando se: «A go, ay koyo si bay hay kulu ra kaŋ go ay banda windo ra. A na nga hay kulu daŋ ay kambe ra.
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?”
9 Boro kulu si no mo kaŋ bisa ay beeray windo wo ra. A mana ay ganji mo hay kulu kala nin, zama ni ya a wande no. Mate n'ay ga te ka laala bambata din te, ay ma zunubi te mo Irikoy se?»
10As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
10 A ciya binde, waybora soobay ka salaŋ Yusufu se zaari ka koy zaari. Amma a mana hangan a se, nga ma kani nd'a, wala baa nga ma goro naŋ kaŋ a go.
11About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
11 A ciya mo, jirbey din ra, a furo fuwo ra zama nga ma nga goyo te, windo boro kulu si no fuwo ra mo.
12She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
12 Kala waybora n'a kwaayo di nga kambe ra ka ne: «Ma kani nda ay.» Yusufu na nga kwaayo naŋ a kamba ra ka zuru ka fatta taray.
13When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
13 A go no, saaya kaŋ waybora di a fay da kwaayo nga kambe ra, ka zuru ka koy taray mo,
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.
14 kala waybora na nga wane borey ce. A salaŋ i se ka ne: «Wa guna, windikoyo kande Ibraniyanco wo iri do zama a ma iri hahaara. A kaa ay do zama nga m'ay kani, kal ay kuuwa.
15It happened, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
15 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ a maa ay n'ay jinde sambu ka kuuwa, a na nga kwaayo naŋ ay do ka zuru ka fatta taray.»
16She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
16 Waybora na kwaayo jisi nga do mo kala koyo ye ka kaa fu.
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,
17 A na sanno wo dumi ci a se ka ne: «Ibraniyance bannya wo kaŋ ni kande iri do, a kaa ay do fuwo ra zama nga m'ay hahaara.
18and it happened, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
18 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ ay n'ay jinde sambu ka kuuwa, a zuru ka fatta. A fay da nga kwaayo ay do.»
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.
19 A ciya mo, saaya kaŋ windikoyo maa nga wando sanno kaŋ a te a se ka ne: «Ya-cine no ni bannya te ay se,» kala koyo bina tun gumo.
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.
20 Yusufu koyo binde n'a di ka daŋ kasu, nango kaŋ i ga bonkoono kas'izey haw. A go noodin kaso ra.
21But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
21 Amma Rabbi go Yusufu banda, a na gomni cabe a se koyne. A n'a no gaakuri kasu batukoy arkuso do.
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.
22 Kasu batukoy arkuso mo na kas'izey kulu kaŋ go kaso ra daŋ Yusufu kambe ra. Hay kulu mo kaŋ i ga te noodin, nga no g'a te.
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.
23 Kasu batukoy arkuso mana laakal ye hay kulu gaa kaŋ go a kamba cire, zama Rabbi go Yusufu banda. Haŋ kaŋ a te kulu mo, Rabbi g'a albarkandi.
