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 there.
Moun Izmayèl yo te mennen Jozèf nan peyi Lejip. Rive la, Potifa, yon moun peyi Lejip ki te chèf nan gouvènman farawon an ak kòmandan gad palè yo, achte l' nan men yo.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
Seyè a te kanpe la avèk Jozèf. Li te fè tout bagay mache byen pou li. Jozèf te rete kay mèt li, moun peyi Lejip la.
3 And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
Mèt li tout te wè Seyè a te avèk Jozèf. Seyè a te fè tout zafè l' mache byen.
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.
Potifa te kontan ak Jozèf ak jan li t'ap sèvi li. Li mete l' reskonsab kay li, li renmèt li tout sa li te genyen.
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.
Depi lè Potifa te renmèt kay li ansanm ak tout sa li te genyen bay Jozèf, Seyè a beni kay moun peyi Lejip la poutèt Jozèf. Seyè a beni tout sa li te gen lakay li ak nan jaden l'.
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.
Potifa te lage tout zafè l' nan men Jozèf. Li pa t' okipe anyen ankò, se annik vin chita manje. Jozèf te vin yon bèl gason byen kanpe.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
Se konsa madanm mèt li a vin tonbe pou li. Li di l': -vin kouche avè m' non!
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:
Men Jozèf derefize, li di l': -Mèt mwen an pa okipe anyen k'ap pase nan kay li a, paske mwen la. Li lage tout bagay nan men m'.
9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
Mwen gen menm otorite avè l' nan kay la, li pa defann mwen manyen anyen, esepte ou menm, paske se madanm li ou ye. Ki jan ou ta vle pou m' fè yon bagay konsa, pou m' fè peche sa a kont Bondye?
10 And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
Se chak jou li te nan kò Jozèf. Men, Jozèf te toujou derefize kouche avè l'.
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.
Yon jou, Jozèf vin pou fè travay li nan kay la. Lè sa a pesonn pa t' la:
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.
Madanm lan kenbe rad Jozèf, li di l': -Jòdi a, se pou ou kouche avè m'. Lè Jozèf wè sa, li chape kò l' met deyò, li kite rad la nan men madanm lan.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
Madanm lan menm, lè li wè Jozèf te kite rad la nan men l' pou l' kouri ale deyò,
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.
li rele domestik li yo, li di yo: -Nou wè sa! Mari mwen mennen yon ebre nan kay la, men koulye a li soti pou avili m'. Li vini jwenn mwen jouk isit la, li vle pou m' kouche avè l'. Mwen pete rele.
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.
Lè li tande m' rele a, msye kouri, li met deyò, li kite rad li la bò kote m'.
16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
Madanm lan kite rad la bò kote l', li tann mèt Jozèf la tounen lakay la.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
Li rakonte l' menm bagay la, li di l': -Esklav ebre ou mennen lakay la vin jwenn mwen jouk isit la pou avili m'.
18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
Men, mwen pete yon rèl, li kouri met deyò, li kite rad li bò kote m'.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
Lè Potifa tande madanm li di l' sa domestik li a te fè l', li move sou Jozèf.
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.
Li fè arete l', mete l' nan prizon kote yo fèmen tout prizonye wa a. Se konsa Jozèf twouve l' nan prizon.
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.
Men Seyè a te kanpe la avèk Jozèf. Li moutre l' jan l' te renmen l', li fè chèf prizon an gen Jozèf konfyans.
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 whatever they do there, he did them.
Li mete l' veye tout lòt prizonye yo. Se li menm ki te reskonsab tout bagay nan prizon an.
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.
Depi li te renmèt yon bagay nan men Jozèf, li pa t' bezwen okipe anyen ankò paske Seyè a te la avèk Jozèf. Seyè a te fè tout zafè l' mache byen.
