OET (OET-LV) Not_he is_great in_household the_this more_than_me and_not he_has_withheld from_me anything if/because (if) you because you his/its_wife/woman and_how will_I_do the_evil the_big/large/great(fs) (the)_this and_I_will_sin to_god.

OET (OET-RV) In this house, he doesn’t even have more authority than I do and he hasn’t kept anything back from me, except for you, his wife. How could I do this very wicked thing and sin against God.

uW Translation Notes:

אֵינֶ֨⁠נּוּ גָד֜וֹל בַּ⁠בַּ֣יִת הַ⁠זֶּה֮ מִמֶּ⁠נִּי֒

not,he greater in,household the=this more,than_me

As Joseph’s master, Potiphar still had more authority than Joseph. But he had given Joseph authority to act in his place over everything in his household. Try to make that clear in your translation. Also, consider whether it is more natural in your language to begin verse 9 with a new sentence or to continue the sentence from verse 8. Alternate translation: [As a result, even he does not exercise more authority in his household than I do]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

וְ⁠לֹֽא־חָשַׂ֤ךְ מִמֶּ֨⁠נִּי֙ מְא֔וּמָה כִּ֥י אִם־אוֹתָ֖⁠ךְ בַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֣ר אַתְּ־אִשְׁתּ֑⁠וֹ

and=not withheld from,me anything that/for/because/then/when if ,you because, you his/its=wife/woman

The phrase has not withheld is a litotes that emphasizes the freedom that Potiphar had given Joseph. Some languages must translate this in a way that does not use a negative word such as not. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [and he has given me freedom with everything in his household, except you, of course, because you are his wife] or [He allows me to do anything in his household, except with you, his wife]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠אֵ֨יךְ אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֜ה הָ⁠רָעָ֤ה הַ⁠גְּדֹלָה֙ הַ⁠זֹּ֔את וְ⁠חָטָ֖אתִי לֵֽ⁠אלֹהִֽים

and,how? do the,evil the=big/large/great(fs) (the),this and,I_will_sin to,God

Joseph uses this rhetorical question to emphasize why he will not do what Potiphar’s wife wants. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [So I refuse to do such an evil thing, which would be a terrible sin against God!]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

39:1–47:31 Joseph began as a slave, alienated from his brothers and separated from his father; he ended as Pharaoh’s viceroy. Through the trips to Egypt, the covenant family went from the brink of apostasy, divided by jealousy and deception, to being reconciled and united by Judah’s intercession and Joseph’s forgiveness.

39:1-23 Joseph’s integrity in Potiphar’s service contrasts with Judah’s moral failure (ch 38). God was with Joseph (39:2-3, 21, 23) and enabled him to prosper and be a blessing (see study notes on 12:1-9; 28:16-22) despite his slavery and imprisonment.
