Sēnesi 39:1-23
39 Naʻe ʻohifo leva ʻa Siosifa ki ʻIsipite,+ pea ko Pōtifa+ ko ha tangata ʻIsipite, ko ha ʻōfisa ʻi he lotoʻā ʻo Feló pea ko e pule kaʻaté, naʻá ne fakatau mai ia mei he kau ʻIsimeʻeli+ ʻa ia naʻa nau ʻohifo ia ki aí.
2 Ka naʻe kau mo Siosifa+ ʻa Sihova. Ko hono olá, naʻá ne hoko ʻo lavameʻa pea naʻe tuku ki ai ʻa e fale ʻo hono ʻeikí, ʻa e ʻIsipité.
3 Pea naʻe sio ʻa hono ʻeikí naʻe kau mo ia ʻa Sihova pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá ne faí ke lavameʻa.
4 Naʻe hanganaki maʻu ʻe Siosifa ʻa e leleiʻia ʻi heʻene vakaí, pea naʻá ne hoko ko hono tauhi. Ko ia naʻá ne fakanofo ia ke pule ki hono falé, pea naʻá ne tuku ia ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe ʻaʻaná.
5 Mei he taimi naʻá ne fakanofo ai ia ke ne pule ki hono falé pea tokangaʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe ʻaʻaná, naʻe hanganaki tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e fale ʻo e ʻIsipité koeʻuhi ko Siosifa, pea naʻe hoko ʻa e tāpuaki ʻa Sihová ki he meʻa kotoa naʻá ne maʻu ʻi he falé pea ʻi ʻuta.+
6 Naʻe faifai atu peá ne tuku ange ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe ʻaʻaná ke tokangaʻi ʻe Siosifa, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne toe fakakaukau ki ha meʻa tuku kehe pē ʻa e meʻakai naʻá ne kaí. ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe tupu ʻa Siosifa ʻo sino lelei mo matātangata.
7 Pea ʻi he hili ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni, ko e uaifi ʻo hono ʻeikí naʻe kamata ke ne sio ʻo manako ʻia Siosifa peá ne pehē: “Ke ke mohe* mo au.”
8 Ka naʻá ne fakafisingaʻi peá ne pehē ki he uaifi ʻo hono ʻeikí: “Ko eni ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ʻe hoku ʻeikí ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻiate au ʻi he falé, pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻaná kuó ne tuku mai ke u tokangaʻi.
9 ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ʻi he falé ni ʻe lahi ange ʻiate au, pea kuo ʻikai te ne taʻofi meiate au ha momoʻi meʻa ʻe taha tuku kehe pē koe, koeʻuhí ko hono uaifí koe. ʻE lava fēfē ke u fai ʻa e fuʻu koví ni ʻo u faiangahala moʻoni ai ki he ʻOtuá?”+
10 Ko ia ʻi he ʻaho ki he ʻaho naʻá ne lea ai kia Siosifa, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne loto ke mohe mo ia pe ke nofo atu mo ia.
11 Ka ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻa ia naʻá ne hū ai ki he falé ke fai ʻene ngāué, naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻi he kau sevāniti ʻo e falé naʻe ʻi he falé.
12 Naʻe puke leva ia ʻe he fefiné ʻi hono kofú ʻo ne pehē: “Ke ke mohe mo au!” Ka naʻá ne liʻaki hono kofú ʻi he nima ʻo e fefiné peá ne hola ki tuʻa.
13 ʻI heʻene sio pē kuó ne liʻaki hono kofú ʻi hono nimá pea kuó ne hola ki tuʻá,
14 naʻá ne kamata kaikaila ki he kau tangata ʻo hono falé ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Sio ange! Naʻá ne ʻomai kiate kitautolu ʻa e tangata Hepelū ko ení ke ne ʻai kitautolu ko ha meʻa fakakata. Naʻá ne haʻu kiate au ke ne mohe mo au, ka naʻá ku kamata kaikaila ʻaki ʻa e leʻo-lahi tahá.
15 Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo pē ki he hiki hake hoku leʻó ʻo kaikailá, naʻá ne liʻaki hono kofú ʻi hoku tafaʻakí peá ne hola ki tuʻa.”
16 ʻI he hili iá, naʻá ne tuku ʻa hono kofú ʻi hono tafaʻakí kae ʻoua ke haʻu ʻa e ʻeiki ʻo Siosifá ki hono falé.
17 Naʻá ne tala ange leva kiate ia ʻa e meʻa tatau, ʻo ne pehē: “Ko e sevāniti Hepelū ko ia naʻá ke ʻomai kiate kitautolú naʻá ne haʻu kiate au ke ʻai au ko ha meʻa fakakata.
18 Ka ʻi heʻeku hiki hake pē ʻa hoku leʻó ʻo kamata ke kaikailá, naʻá ne liʻaki hono kofú ʻi hoku tafaʻakí peá ne hola ki tuʻa.”
19 ʻI he fanongo pē ʻa hono ʻeikí ki he ngaahi lea naʻe leaʻaki ange kiate ia ʻe hono uaifí, ʻo pehē: “Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻe hoʻo sevānití kiate aú,” naʻe kakaha ʻa ʻene ʻitá.
20 Ko ia naʻe hanga ʻe he ʻeiki ʻo Siosifá ʻo ʻave ia ʻo tuku ki he pilīsoné, ʻa e feituʻu naʻe tauhi pōpula ai ʻa e kau pōpula ʻa e tuʻí, pea naʻá ne nofo ai pē ʻi he pilīsoné.+
21 Ka naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e ʻia Siosifa ʻa Sihová pea naʻá ne hanganaki fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofa mateaki kiate ia pea tuku ke leleiʻia ai ʻa e ʻōfisa pule ʻo e pilīsoné.+
22 Ko ia naʻe ʻai ʻe he ʻōfisa pule ʻo e pilīsoné ʻa Siosifa ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa e kau pōpula kotoa pē ʻi he pilīsoné, pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau fai aí, ko ia ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne fekauʻi ke fai iá.+
23 Ko e ʻōfisa pule ʻo e pilīsoné naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne tokangaʻi ha momoʻi meʻa ʻe taha naʻe tuku ange ke tokangaʻi ʻe Siosifa, he naʻe ʻia Siosifa ʻa Sihova pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ha meʻa pē naʻá ne fai ke lavameʻa.+
