< Genesis 39 >

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down thither.
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 was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord 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 knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatsoever he happens to do.
Ary hitan’ ny tompony fa nomban’ i Jehovah izy, ka izay rehetra nataony dia nambinin’ i Jehovah avokoa teo aminy.
4 And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
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 it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his 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 committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
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 it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
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; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
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 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin 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 when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with 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 it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
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 she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
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 it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
Ary rehefa hitan-dravehivavy fa navelany teo an-tànany ny akanjony, sady lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy,
14 that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
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 when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
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 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
Dia napetra-dravehivavy teo anilany ny akanjon’ i Josefa, mandra-pahatongan’ ny tompony tao an-trano.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou broughtest in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with thee.
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 he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
ary rehefa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany eto anilako ny akanjony, ka lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did thy servant to me, that he was 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 his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
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 And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.
Nefa Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa sy namindra fo taminy ka nampahita fitia azy teo imason’ ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina.
22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatsoever they do there, he did them.
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 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
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.
