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.
Sima, bamemaki Jozefi na Ejipito. Potifari, kalaka ya lokumu ya Faraon mpe mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, moto ya Ejipito, asombaki ye na maboko ya bato ya Isimaeli oyo bamemaki ye kuna.
2 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozefi; boye Jozefi azalaki kolonga na makambo nyonso oyo azalaki kosala, mpe avandaki kati na ndako ya moto ya Ejipito, nkolo na ye.
3 And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Tango nkolo na ye asosolaki ete Yawe azali elongo na Jozefi, mpe ete Yawe azali kolongisa ye na makambo nyonso oyo azali kosala,
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.
Jozefi azwaki ngolu na miso ya nkolo na ye, oyo apesaki ye mokumba ya kobatela bozwi na ye nyonso: Potifari akomisaki Jozefi mokonzi kati na ndako na ye mpe apesaki ye mokumba ya kobatela biloko na ye nyonso.
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.
Wuta tango Potifari akomisaki Jozefi mokonzi kati na ndako na ye mpe mokonzi ya biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango, Yawe apambolaki ndako ya moto ya Ejipito mpo na Jozefi; lipamboli ya Yawe ezalaki na likolo ya biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango, kati na ndako na ye mpe na bilanga.
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.
Boye Potifari atikaki biloko na ye nyonso kati na maboko ya Jozefi, azalaki lisusu kotala eloko moko te longola kaka bilei na ye. Jozefi azalaki na nzoto kitoko mpe elongi kitoko.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
Sima na yango, mwasi ya nkolo ya Jozefi alulaki ye Jozefi mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka kosangisa na ngai nzoto!
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.
Kasi Jozefi aboyaki mpe alobaki na mwasi ya nkolo na ye: — Tala, nkolo na ngai atunaka ngai ata eloko moko te na oyo etali ndako na ye, mpe atika biloko na ye nyonso kati na maboko na ngai.
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?
Moto moko te aleki ngai na monene kati na ndako oyo. Nkolo na ngai apekisi ngai eloko moko te longola kaka yo, pamba te ozali mwasi na ye. Boye ndenge nini penza ngai nakoki kosala likambo ya mabe boye mpe kosala masumu liboso ya Nzambe?
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,
Mokolo na mokolo, mwasi ya Potifari azalaki kaka kotungisa Jozefi, kasi ye mpe azalaki kaka koboya kosangisa na ye nzoto to kozala na ye elongo.
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.
Mokolo moko, awa Jozefi akotaki na ndako mpo na kosala mosala na ye, mpe ata mosali moko te azalaki wana,
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.
mwasi ya Potifari akangaki ye na bilamba mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka kosangisa na ngai nzoto! Kasi Jozefi asundolaki elamba na ye kati na maboko ya mwasi ya Potifari mpe akimaki libanda ya ndako.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
Tango mwasi ya Potifari amonaki ete Jozefi asundoli elamba na ye kati na maboko na ye mpe akimi libanda,
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;
abengaki basali ya ndako na ye mpe alobaki: — Botala! Mo-Ebre oyo bamemelaki biso ayaki nde kosakanela biso! Aluki kosangisa na ngai nzoto, kasi ngai nagangi makasi.
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.
Tango ayoki ete nagangi makasi mpo na koluka lisalisi, asundoli elamba na ye pembeni na ngai mpe akimi libanda!
16 And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
Mwasi ya Potifari abombaki elamba ya Jozefi pembeni na ye kino mobali na ye azongaki na ndako.
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;
Bongo abetelaki ye lisolo: — Mowumbu Mo-Ebre oyo omemelaki biso, ayaki epai na ngai mpo na kosakana na ngai.
18 and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
Kasi tango nagangaki makasi mpo na koluka lisalisi, asundolaki elamba na ye pembeni na ngai mpe akimaki libanda.
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.
Tango nkolo ya Jozefi ayokaki lisolo oyo mwasi na ye abetelaki ye na maloba oyo: « Tala ndenge mowumbu na yo asali ngai, » Potifari asilikaki makasi.
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.
Potifari akangaki Jozefi mpe abwakaki ye na boloko epai wapi mokonzi Faraon atiaka bakangami. Kasi, wana Jozefi azalaki kati na boloko,
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.
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozefi mpe atalisaki ye bolamu na Ye; asalelaki ye ngolu na miso ya mokonzi ya boloko.
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.
Mokonzi ya boloko apesaki Jozefi mokumba ya kokengela bato nyonso ya boloko mpe ya kotambolisa makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki kosalema kuna.
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.
Mokonzi ya boloko azalaki kotala lisusu likambo moko te kati na makambo oyo apesaki Jozefi mokumba ya kosala, pamba te Yawe azalaki elongo na ye mpe azalaki kolongisa ye na makambo nyonso oyo azalaki kosala.
