Genesis 39

1 Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.

योसेफलाई मिश्रमा लगियो । अङ्गरक्षकहरूका एक मिश्री कप्‍तान फारोका अधिकारी पोतीफरले उनलाई इश्माएलीहरूबाट किने ।

2 And YHWH was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.

परमप्रभु योसेफसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र उनी एक समृद्ध मानिस भए । उनी आफ्ना मिश्री मालिकका घरमा बस्थे ।

3 And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.

परमप्रभु उनीसँग हुनुहुन्छ र उनले गर्ने सबै काममा उनलाई समृद्धि मिल्छ भन्‍ने कुरा उनको मालिकले देखे ।

4 So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.

योसेफले तिनको कृपादृष्‍टि पाए । उनले पोतीफरको सेवा गरे । पोतीफरले योसेफलाई आफ्नो घर र तिनको स्वामित्वमा रहेका सबै कुरामाथि अधिकार दिए, र ती उनको जिम्मामा लगाए ।

5 And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that YHWH blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of YHWH was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.

तिनको घर र तिनको स्वामित्वमा रहेका सबै कुरामाथि योसेफलाई अधिकार दिएपछि योसेफको कारण परमप्रभुले त्यस मिश्रीको घरलाई आशिषित् गर्नुभयो । पोतीफरको घर र खेतमा भएका सबै कुरामाथि परमप्रभुको आशिष् रह्यो ।

6 So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

पोतीफरले आफ्ना सबै कुरा योसेफको जिम्मामा दिए । तिनले आफूले खाने भोजनबाहेक अरू कुनै कुराको विषयमा पनि चिन्ता लिनु पर्दैनथ्यो । योसेफ सुन्दर र आकर्षक थिए ।

7 And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me."

योसेफका मालिककी पत्‍नीले उनीप्रति चाहना राखिन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मसँग सुत ।”

8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.

उनले इन्कार गरेर आफ्ना मालिककी पत्‍नीलाई यसो भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा मालिकले यस घरमा म के गर्छु भन्‍ने कुराप्रति कुनै चिन्ता गर्नुहुन्‍न, र उहाँका सबै कुरा उहाँले मेरै जिम्मामा दिनुभएको छ ।

9 There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, and sin against God?"

मभन्दा ठुलो यस घरमा कोही छैन । उहाँले तपाईंबाहेक सबै कुरा मलाई दिनुभएको छ, किनभने तपाईं उहाँकी पत्‍नी हुनुहुन्छ । यसैकारण मैले कसरी यस्तो दुष्‍ट काम गरी परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्ध पाप गर्न सक्छु?”

10 And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her.

तिनले योसेफसँग दिनहुँ कुरा गरिन्, तर उनी तिनीसँग सुत्‍न वा तिनको नजिक जान इन्कार गरे ।

11 Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.

एक दिन उनी आफ्ना काम गर्न घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । घरभित्र कोही पनि मानिस थिएन ।

12 She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.

तिनले उनको लुगा समातिन् र भनिन्, “मसँग सुत ।” उनले आफ्ना लुगा तिनकै हातमा छोडेर बाहिर भागे ।

13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,

जब योसेफ आफ्ना लुगा छोडेर बाहिर भागेका तिनले देखिन्,

14 she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

तिनले आफ्ना घरका मानिसहरूलाई बोलाएर भनिन्, “हेर, पोतीफरले हाम्रो बेइज्‍जत गर्न एउटा हिब्रूलाई ल्याउनुभएको छ । त्यो मकहाँ सुत्‍न भनेर आयो, अनि म चिच्याएँ ।

15 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."

जब त्यसले म चिच्‍याएकी सुन्यो, त्यसले आफ्ना लुगा मकहाँ छोडेर बाहिर भाग्यो ।”

16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.

तिनको मालिक घर नआउन्जेलसम्म तिनले त्यो लुगा आफ्नै साथमा राखिन् ।

17 And she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'

तिनले उनलाई यसरी वर्णन गरिन्, “तपाईंले हाम्रो निम्ति ल्याउनुभएको त्यो हिब्रू नोकर मेरो बेइज्‍जत गर्न मकहाँ आयो ।

18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."

जब म चिच्‍याएँ, त्यसले आफ्ना लुगा मकहाँ छोडेर बाहिर भाग्यो ।”

19 And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.

आफ्नो नोकरले आफ्नी पत्‍नीलाई गरेको व्यवहार आफ्नी पत्‍नीबाट सुनेपछि तिनी रिसले चुर भए ।

20 Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound, and he was there in prison.

योसेफका मालिकले उनलाई झ्यालखानामा राखे जहाँ राजाका कैदीहरू राखिन्थे । उनी त्यही झ्यालखानामा थिए ।

21 But YHWH was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

तर परमप्रभु योसेफसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र आफ्ना करारप्रति उहाँ भरोसायोग्य रहनुभयो । झ्यालखानाका हाकिमको नजरमा उहाँले उनलाई कृपादृष्‍टि दिनुभयो ।

22 The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.

झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले झ्यालखानाका सबै कैदीहरू योसेफको जिम्मामा दिए । तिनीहरूले गर्ने काममाथि योसेफकै निगरानी हुन्थ्यो ।

23 The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.

उनको जिम्मामा भएका कुनै कुरामा त्यस झ्यालखानाका हाकिम चिन्तित हुँदैन थिए, किनभने परमप्रभु उनीसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उनले जे गर्थे, परमप्रभुले समृद्धि प्रदान गर्नुहुन्थ्यो ।
