Genesis 39
1 Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither.
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 Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and was in the house of his master 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 sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.
Mèt li tout te wè Seyè a te avèk Jozèf. Seyè a te fè tout zafè l' mache byen.
4 So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand.
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 from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde.
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 Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured.
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 Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye with me.
Se konsa madanm mèt li a vin tonbe pou li. Li di l': -vin kouche avè m' non!
8 But he refused and said to his masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande.
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 There is no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne 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 albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.
Se chak jou li te nan kò Jozèf. Men, Jozèf te toujou derefize kouche avè l'.
11 Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold in the house:
Yon jou, Jozèf vin pou fè travay li nan kay la. Lè sa a pesonn pa t' la:
12 Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out.
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 Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,
Madanm lan menm, lè li wè Jozèf te kite rad la nan men l' pou l' kouri ale deyò,
14 She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce.
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 lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.
Lè li tande m' rele a, msye kouri, li met deyò, li kite rad li la bò kote m'.
16 So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.
Madanm lan kite rad la bò kote l', li tann mèt Jozèf la tounen lakay la.
17 Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me.
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 But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.
Men, mwen pete yon rèl, li kouri met deyò, li kite rad li bò kote m'.
19 Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled.
Lè Potifa tande madanm li di l' sa domestik li a te fè l', li move sou Jozèf.
20 And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.
Li fè arete l', mete l' nan prizon kote yo fèmen tout prizonye wa a. Se konsa Jozèf twouve l' nan prizon.
21 But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master 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 keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.
Li mete l' veye tout lòt prizonye yo. Se li menm ki te reskonsab tout bagay nan prizon an.
23 And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
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.
