Genesis 39
1 Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
Ary Josefa nentina nidina ho any Egypta; ary Potifara, lehilahy Egyptiana, tandapan’ i Farao sady mpifehy ny mpiambina, no nividy azy tamin’ ny Isimaelita, izay nitondra azy nidina tany.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Ary Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa, dia lehilahy nambinina izy; ary nitoetra tao an-tranon’ ilay Egyptiana tompony izy.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.
Ary hitan’ ny tompony fa nomban’ i Jehovah izy, ka izay rehetra nataony dia nambinin’ i Jehovah avokoa teo aminy.
4 And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.
Ary Josefa nahita fitia teo imason’ ny tompony, ka dia nanompo azy; dia notendreny ho mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony, ary izay rehetra nananany dia natolony ho andraikiny.
5 And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.
Ary hatramin’ izay nanendreny azy ho mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony mbamin’ izay rehetra nananany dia notahin’ i Jehovah ny tranon’ ilay Egyptiana noho ny amin’ i Josefa; ary ny fitahian’ i Jehovah nomba izay rehetra nananany, na ny tao an-trano, na ny tany an-tsaha.
6 And he gave Joseph control of all his property, keeping no account of anything, but only the food which was put before him. Now Joseph was very beautiful in form and face.
Dia navelany ho andraikitr’ i Josefa izay rehetra nananany; ary izy tsy nihevitra intsony izay rehetra nananany na inona na inona afa-tsy ny hanin-kohaniny ihany. Ary Josefa dia bikàna sady tsara tarehy.
7 And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.
Ary taorian’ izany ny vadin’ ny tompony nanopy ny masony hijery an’ i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Avia handry amiko.
8 But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;
Dia nandà izy ka nanao tamin’ ny vadin’ ny tompony hoe: Indro, ny tompoko tsy mahalala izay tandremako ato an-trano, fa izay rehetra ananany dia efa natolony ho andraikitro avokoa.
9 So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?
Tsy misy lehibe noho izaho raha amin’ ity trano ity, ary tsy misy zavatra narovany amiko afa-tsy ianao ihany, satria vadiny ianao; koa hataoko ahoana no hanao izany, ratsy lehibe izany ka hanota amin’ Andriamanitra?
10 And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.
Ary na dia niteny tamin’ i Josefa isan’ andro aza ravehivavy, dia tsy nety nanaiky azy handry aminy izy na hiara-mitoetra aminy.
11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.
Ary tamin’ ny indray andro dia niditra tao an-trano Josefa hanao ny raharahany; ary sendra tsy nisy mpanompo tao an-trano tamin’ izay.
12 And pulling at his coat, she said, Come to my bed; but slipping out of his coat, he went running away.
Dia nisambotra azy tamin’ ny akanjony ravehivavy ka nanao hoe: Avia handry amiko; fa navelan’ i Josefa teo an-tànany ny akanjony, dia nandositra izy ka nivoaka teny ala-trano.
13 And when she saw that he had got away, letting her keep his coat,
Ary rehefa hitan-dravehivavy fa navelany teo an-tànany ny akanjony, sady lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy,
14 She sent for the men of her house and said to them, See, he has let a Hebrew come here and make sport of us; he came to my bed, and I gave a loud cry;
dia niantso ny mpanompo izy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Indro, efa nampiditra lehilahy Hebreo tato amintsika hisangy antsika izy; nanatona ahy mba handry amiko iny, dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery aho;
15 And hearing it he went running out without his coat.
ary nony reny fa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany teto anilako ny akanjony, ary nandositra iny ka lasa any ala-trano.
16 And she kept his coat by her, till his master came back.
Dia napetra-dravehivavy teo anilany ny akanjon’ i Josefa, mandra-pahatongan’ ny tompony tao an-trano.
17 Then she gave him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you have taken into our house came in to make sport of me;
Dia nilaza taminy izy araka ireo teny ireo ka nanao hoe: Nanatona ahy ilay andevolahy Hebreo, izay nentinao ho eto amintsika, mba hisangy ahy;
18 And when I gave a loud cry he went running out without his coat.
ary rehefa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany eto anilako ny akanjony, ka lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy.
19 And hearing his wife's account of what his servant had done, he became very angry.
Ary rehefa ren’ ny tompony ny tenin’ ny vadiny, izay niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Araka ireo teny ireo no nataon’ ilay andevolahinao tamiko, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany.
20 And Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept in chains, and he was there in the prison-house.
Ary ny tompon’ i Josefa dia naka azy ka nanao azy tao an-trano-maizina, izay fitoeran’ ny mpifatotra diso tamin’ ny mpanjaka; dia nitoetra tao an-trano-maizina izy.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and was good to him, and made the keeper of the prison his friend.
Nefa Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa sy namindra fo taminy ka nampahita fitia azy teo imason’ ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina.
22 And the keeper of the prison put all the prisoners under Joseph's control, and he was responsible for whatever was done there.
Dia natolotry ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina ho andraikitr’ i Josefa ny mpifatotra rehetra izay tao an-trano-maizina; ary izay rehetra nataony tao dia izy no antony.
23 And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.
Ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina tsy mba nikarakara na inona na inona izay efa mby an-tànany, satria Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa, ary izay nataony dia nambinin’ i Jehovah.
