Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
Alò, yo te pran Joseph desann an Égypte. Epi Potiphar, yon ofisye Farawon, kòmandan nan gad yo, te achte li nan men Izmayelit yo, ki te fè l desann la.
2 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
SENYÈ a te avèk Joseph, e li te byen reyisi. Li te lakay mèt li, Ejipsyen an.
3 And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Alò mèt li a te wè ke SENYÈ a te avèk li, e ke li te fè tout sa li te antreprann byen reyisi nan men l.
4 And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
Konsa, Joseph te twouve favè nan zye li, e li te devni sèvitè pèsonèl li. Li te fè li chèf an tèt tout lakay li, e tout sa ke li te posede, li te mete yo sou chaj li.
5 And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
Epi li te rive ke depi lè sa a li te fè li chèf lakay li, ak sou tout sa li te posede, ke SENYÈ a te beni lakay Ejipsyen an akoz Joseph. Benediksyon SENYÈ a te sou tout sa li te genyen, ni nan kay la, ni nan chan an.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
Li te kite tout sa li te gen sou chaj Joseph. Konsa, li pa t okipe tèt li avèk anyen sof ke manje ke li te manje. Alò, Joseph te yon bo gason, ni nan fòm li, ni nan aparans li.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
Li te vin rive apre evènman sa yo, ke madanm Potiphar a, te gade Joseph avèk anvi. Konsa, li te di: “Vin kouche avè m.”
8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
Men Joseph te refize. Li te di a madanm mèt li a: “Mèt mwen pa menm okipe li pou anyen ki nan kay la, e li te mete tout sa li posede sou chaj mwen.
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Nanpwen pèsòn nan kay sa a ki pi gran ke mwen, e li pa refize m anyen, sof ke ou menm, paske ou se madanm li. Kijan konsa, mwen ta kapab fè gwo mal sa a, e peche kont Bondye menm?”
10 And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
Pandan li te pale avèk Joseph jou aprè jou, Joseph pa t koute l menm pou kesyon kouche avèk l, oswa pou li ta rete avè l.
11 that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
Alò li vin rive yon jou ke li te antre nan kay la pou fè travay li, e pa t gen lòt nan ouvriye lakay yo ki te andedan kay la.
12 Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
Konsa, Madanm nan te kenbe li pa vètman li. Li te di: “Kouche avè m!” Men li te kite vètman li nan men l, e te sove ale deyò.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
Lè Madanm nan te vin wè ke li te kite vètman li nan men l, e li te kouri deyò,
14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;
li te rele tout gason ouvriye lakay li yo, e li te di yo: “Ou wè sa, li pote bannou yon Ebre ki pou vin fè jwèt avèk nou. Li te vin antre sou mwen pou kouche avè m, men mwen te rele fò.
15 and it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.
Lè li tande ke m te leve vwa m pou rele fò, li te kite vètman li bò kote mwen, e li te sove ale kouri deyò.”
16 And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
Konsa, li te kenbe vètman an kote li jiskaske mèt li te rive nan kay la.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
Alò, li te pale avèk li ak pawòl sa yo: “Esklav Ebre ke ou te mennen bannou an, te antre kote mwen pou fè spò avè m,
18 and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
men lè m te leve vwa m pou te rele fò, li te kite vètman li bò kote mwen pou te sove ale deyò.”
19 And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
Alò, lè mèt la te tande pawòl a madanm li yo, lè li te pale pou di: “Men sa esklav ou a te fè m nan,” li te vin brile avèk kòlè.
20 And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
Konsa, mèt Joseph la te pran li e te mete li nan prizon, nan plas kote prizonye ki pou wa yo te ye. Epi li te la nan prizon an.
21 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
Men SENYÈ a te avèk Joseph. Li te fè li gras, e Li te fè li vin gen favè nan zye a chèf prizon an.
22 And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
Chèf Kasèl la te fè Joseph responsab tout prizonye yo ki te nan prizon an, jiskaske nenpòt sa ki te fèt ladann, li te vin responsab.
23 The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
Chèf Kasèl la pa t sipèvize anyen ki te anba direksyon Joseph, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li, paske nenpòt sa li te fè, SENYÈ a te fè l pwospere.
