Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
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.
1U A laweia'ku la o Iosepa ilalo i Aigupita; kuaiia'ku la oia no Potipara, he luna na Parao, he luna o ka poe koa, a he kanaka no Aigupita, mai na lima aku o ka Isemaela, nana ia i lawe aku ilalo.
2The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
2Me Iosepa no o Iehova, he kanaka ia i hoopomaikaiia, aia no ia ma ka hale o kona haku, he Aigupita.
3His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
3Ike ae la kona haku, aia no o Iehova me Iosepa, a na Iehova no i pono ai ka hana a pau a kona lima.
4Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
4A loaa ia Iosepa ka lokomaikaiia imua ona, a hookauwa aku ia nana, a hoolilo aku la oia ia ia i luna no kona ohua, a no kona waiwai a pau, a waiho aku la ia i kana mea a pau i kona lima.
5From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
5Eia hoi kekahi, mai ka wa mai o kona hoolilo ana ia ia i luna no kona ohua, a maluna o kona mea a pau, hoopomaikai mai ke Akua i ko ka hale o ua kanaka Aigupita nei no Iosepa; a na Iehova no ka pomaikai o na mea a pau ona, ma ka hale, a ma ke kula.
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.
6A waiho iho la oia i kona mea a pau i na lima o Iosepa, aole ia i ike aku i kekahi mea nona, o ka ai ana i ai ai wale no. Ua maikai ke kino o Iosepa, he maikai no hoi ka maka.
7After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
7A mahope iho o keia mau mea, ike mai la na maka o ka wahine a kona haku ia Iosepa, i mai la ia, E moe kaua.
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.
8Hoole aku la ia, i aku la i ka wahine a kona haku, Aia hoi, aole ike kuu haku i na mea ia'u ma keia hale, ua waiho mai nei ko'u haku i kana mea a pau i kuu lima:
9No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
9Aohe mea nui e ae oloko o keia hale, owau wale no; aole keia i paa aku i kekahi mea ia'u, o oe wale no, no ka mea, o kana wahine no oe. Pehea la wau e hana'i i keia hewa nui, a hana ino aku i ke Akua?
10As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
10Koi mai la oia ia Iosepa i keia la a i keia la, aole loa ia i hoolohe iki aku ia ia, e moe me ia, a e noho me ia.
11About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
11Ia manawa iho, komo ae la o Iosepa iloko o ka hale, e hana i kana hana, aohe kanaka o ka hale iloko.
12She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
12Apo mai la kela ia ia ma ke kapa ona, i mai la, E moe kaua. Haalele iho la ia i kona kapa ma ka lima ona, holo aku la a hiki iwaho.
13When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
13A ike aku la ua wahine la, ua haalele ia i kona kapa ma kona lima, a ua holo aku la iwaho,
14she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
14Kahea aku la ua wahine la i na kanaka o kona hale, olelo aku la ia lakou, i aku la, E nana oukou, ua lawe mai nei kela i ke kanaka no ka poe Hebera io kakou nei, e hoomaewaewa mai ia kakou. Hele mai la oia io'u nei e moe me au, a kahea aku la au me ka leo nui;
15When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
15A lohe mai la kela i kuu hookiekie ana i kuu leo iluna, a i kuu hea ana aku, haalele iho nei oia i ke kapa ona ia'u, holo aku la a hiki iwaho.
16She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
16Malama iho la ua wahine la i kona kapa, a hoi mai la kona haku i ka hale.
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,
17Olelo aku la ua wahine la ia ia i keia mau olelo, i aku la, O ko kauwa Hebera, au i lawe mai ai io kakou nei, ua komo mai ia io'u nei e hoomaewaewa mai ia'u.
18and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
18A hookiekie au i kuu leo iluna a kahea aku au, alaila, haalele iho la ia i ke kapa ona ia'u, a holo aku la iwaho.
19When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
19A lohe ae la kona haku i ka olelo a kana wahine i olelo mai ni ia ia, i ka i ana mai, E like me keia mau olelo i hana mai ai kau kauwa ia'u; nui iho la ka huhu ona.
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.
20Lalau mai la ka haku o Iosepa ia in, hahao aku la ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, i kahi i paa ai ka poe paa o ke alii, a paa no ia maluila ma ka halepaahao.
21But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
21Me Iosepa no o Iehova, aloha nui mai la ia ia, a haawi mai la ia ia i ka pono imua o na maka o ka mea nana i malama ka halepaahao.
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.
22Waiho ae la ka mea nana i malama ka halepaahao i ka poe paa a pau oloko o ka halepaahao i ka lima o Iosepa, a o na mea a pau i hanaia malaila, nana no ia i hana.
23The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
23Aole hoi i nana aku ka luna o ka halepaahao i kekahi mea malalo iho o kona lima, no ka mea, aia no o Iehova me ia, a hoopomaikai mai la o Iehova i ka hana a pau ana i hana'i.
