Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Meanwhile, 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.
1Mwet Ishmael elos usalla Joseph nu Egypt ac kukakunulla nu sel Potiphar, sie sin mwet fulat lal tokosra, su sifen mwet topang su taran inkul sin tokosra.
2And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
2LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac oru tuh ma nukewa el oru fahla wona ouiya. El muta yurin mwet kacto lal, sie mwet Egypt,
3When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
3su liye tuh na LEUM GOD El welul Joseph, ac LEUM GOD El oru in wo ouiyal Joseph in ma nukewa el oru.
4Joseph 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.
4Potiphar el insewowo sel ac oru tuh elan mwet tutafpo lal. Ouinge el likilya elan leum fin lohm sel ac ma nukewa lal.
5From 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.
5Tukun pacl sac lac, LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye sou lun mwet Egypt sac ac ma nukewa in lohm sel ac in ima lal, ke sripal Joseph.
6So 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,
6Potiphar el fuhleang ma nukewa lal nu ye karinginyuk lal Joseph, ac el tia elya ke kutena ma sayen in sulela ma nal sifacna. Joseph el arulana oasku ac wo lumahl,
7and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
7ac tok kutu, mutan kien leum sac el mutawauk in lungseyak Joseph ac siyuk elan som oan yorol.
8But 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.
8Joseph el srangesr, ac el fahk nu sin mutan sac, “Nge, wangin elya lun leum luk ke kutena ma in lohm sel, mweyen el lulalfongiyu. El se ngan karingin ma nukewa lal.
9No 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?”
9Oasr ku luk in lohm se inge oana el, ac wangin kutena ma el sruok nu sik sayom. Fuka tuh ngan oru kain elahwet ingan ac orekma koluk lain God?”
10Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
10Mutan sac el ne kwafe nu sel Joseph pingana len elan oan yorol, a Joseph el tiana som welul oan.
11One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
11Tusruktu sie len ah, ke Joseph el som in oru orekma lal in lohm sac, wangin mwet kulansap saya oasr we.
12She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
12Mutan sac sruokya nuknuk lal Joseph, ac fahk, “Fahsru oan yuruk.” A Joseph el kaingla nu likin lohm sac, sisla na nuknuk lal ah yurin mutan sac.
13When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
13Ke mutan sac el liye lah Joseph el sisla nuknuk lal ah ac kaingla nu lik ah,
14she 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.
14el pang nu sin mwet kulansap lal lohm sac, ac fahk, “Ngetma liye ma se nge! Mwet Hebrew se ma mukul tumuk ah use nu lohm uh el aklusrongtenye kut. El utyak nu infukil sik ah, ac srike in sruinkuiyu, tuh nga liksrenina wowoyak ke kuiyuk.
15When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
15Ke el lohng lah nga wowoyak, na el kaing nu likinuma, sisla nuknuk se lal inge siskuk.”
16So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
16Mutan sac sruokya na nuknuk sac nwe ke na leum se lal Joseph ah tuku.
17Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
17Na el srumunang pac sramsram sac nu sel. El fahk, “Mwet kohs Hebrew sac, ma kom use nu inge ah, el utyak nu infukil sik uh ac nunku elan sruinkuiyu.
18but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
18Tusruktu nga wowoyak, na el kaingla nu likinuma, sisla nuknuk lal ah siskuk.”
19When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
19Ke leum se lal Joseph el lohng ma mutan kial ac fahk inge, el foloyak,
20So 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,
20ac sap sruhu Joseph ac sisiyang el nu in presin, yen mwet kapir lun tokosra kapir we. Na el mutana we.
21the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
21Tusruktu LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac akinsewowoyal, pwanang mwet liyaung presin el kulang nu sel.
22And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
22El likilya Joseph elan sifen mwet kapir nukewa, ac sang elan fosrngakin ma nukewa ma orek in presin.
23The 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.
23Mwet liyaung presin el tia fosrngakin kutena ma su oan ye karinginyuk lal Joseph, mweyen LEUM GOD El welul Joseph ac oru in wo ouiyal ke ma nukewa el oru.
