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.
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 the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and 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 sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.
Tango nkolo na ye asosolaki ete Yawe azali elongo na Jozefi, mpe ete Yawe azali kolongisa ye na makambo nyonso oyo azali kosala,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye 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 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.
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 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?
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 albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.
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 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:
Mokolo moko, awa Jozefi akotaki na ndako mpo na kosala mosala na ye, mpe ata mosali moko te azalaki wana,
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.
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 Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,
Tango mwasi ya Potifari amonaki ete Jozefi asundoli elamba na ye kati na maboko na ye mpe akimi libanda,
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.
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 when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.
Tango ayoki ete nagangi makasi mpo na koluka lisalisi, asundoli elamba na ye pembeni na ngai mpe akimi libanda!
16 So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.
Mwasi ya Potifari abombaki elamba ya Jozefi pembeni na ye kino mobali na ye azongaki na ndako.
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.
Bongo abetelaki ye lisolo: — Mowumbu Mo-Ebre oyo omemelaki biso, ayaki epai na ngai mpo na kosakana na ngai.
18 But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.
Kasi tango nagangaki makasi mpo na koluka lisalisi, asundolaki elamba na ye pembeni na ngai mpe akimaki libanda.
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.
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 Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.
Potifari akangaki Jozefi mpe abwakaki ye na boloko epai wapi mokonzi Faraon atiaka bakangami. Kasi, wana Jozefi azalaki kati na boloko,
21 But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozefi mpe atalisaki ye bolamu na Ye; asalelaki ye ngolu na miso ya mokonzi ya boloko.
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.
Mokonzi ya boloko apesaki Jozefi mokumba ya kokengela bato nyonso ya boloko mpe ya kotambolisa makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki kosalema kuna.
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.
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.
