< 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.
Ary Josefa nentina nidina ho any Egypta; ary Potifara, lehilahy Egyptiana, tandapan’ i Farao sady mpifehy ny mpiambina, no nividy azy tamin’ ny Isimaelita, izay nitondra azy nidina tany.
2 And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Ary Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa, dia lehilahy nambinina izy; ary nitoetra tao an-tranon’ ilay Egyptiana tompony izy.
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.
Ary hitan’ ny tompony fa nomban’ i Jehovah izy, ka izay rehetra nataony dia nambinin’ i Jehovah avokoa teo aminy.
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.
Ary Josefa nahita fitia teo imason’ ny tompony, ka dia nanompo azy; dia notendreny ho mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony, ary izay rehetra nananany dia natolony ho andraikiny.
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.
Ary hatramin’ izay nanendreny azy ho mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony mbamin’ izay rehetra nananany dia notahin’ i Jehovah ny tranon’ ilay Egyptiana noho ny amin’ i Josefa; ary ny fitahian’ i Jehovah nomba izay rehetra nananany, na ny tao an-trano, na ny tany an-tsaha.
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.
Dia navelany ho andraikitr’ i Josefa izay rehetra nananany; ary izy tsy nihevitra intsony izay rehetra nananany na inona na inona afa-tsy ny hanin-kohaniny ihany. Ary Josefa dia bikàna sady tsara tarehy.
7 Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye with me.
Ary taorian’ izany ny vadin’ ny tompony nanopy ny masony hijery an’ i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Avia handry amiko.
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.
Dia nandà izy ka nanao tamin’ ny vadin’ ny tompony hoe: Indro, ny tompoko tsy mahalala izay tandremako ato an-trano, fa izay rehetra ananany dia efa natolony ho andraikitro avokoa.
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?
Tsy misy lehibe noho izaho raha amin’ ity trano ity, ary tsy misy zavatra narovany amiko afa-tsy ianao ihany, satria vadiny ianao; koa hataoko ahoana no hanao izany, ratsy lehibe izany ka hanota amin’ Andriamanitra?
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.
Ary na dia niteny tamin’ i Josefa isan’ andro aza ravehivavy, dia tsy nety nanaiky azy handry aminy izy na hiara-mitoetra aminy.
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:
Ary tamin’ ny indray andro dia niditra tao an-trano Josefa hanao ny raharahany; ary sendra tsy nisy mpanompo tao an-trano tamin’ izay.
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.
Dia nisambotra azy tamin’ ny akanjony ravehivavy ka nanao hoe: Avia handry amiko; fa navelan’ i Josefa teo an-tànany ny akanjony, dia nandositra izy ka nivoaka teny ala-trano.
13 Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,
Ary rehefa hitan-dravehivavy fa navelany teo an-tànany ny akanjony, sady lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy,
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.
dia niantso ny mpanompo izy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Indro, efa nampiditra lehilahy Hebreo tato amintsika hisangy antsika izy; nanatona ahy mba handry amiko iny, dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery aho;
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.
ary nony reny fa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany teto anilako ny akanjony, ary nandositra iny ka lasa any ala-trano.
16 So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.
Dia napetra-dravehivavy teo anilany ny akanjon’ i Josefa, mandra-pahatongan’ ny tompony tao an-trano.
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.
Dia nilaza taminy izy araka ireo teny ireo ka nanao hoe: Nanatona ahy ilay andevolahy Hebreo, izay nentinao ho eto amintsika, mba hisangy ahy;
18 But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.
ary rehefa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany eto anilako ny akanjony, ka lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy.
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.
Ary rehefa ren’ ny tompony ny tenin’ ny vadiny, izay niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Araka ireo teny ireo no nataon’ ilay andevolahinao tamiko, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany.
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.
Ary ny tompon’ i Josefa dia naka azy ka nanao azy tao an-trano-maizina, izay fitoeran’ ny mpifatotra diso tamin’ ny mpanjaka; dia nitoetra tao an-trano-maizina izy.
21 But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.
Nefa Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa sy namindra fo taminy ka nampahita fitia azy teo imason’ ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina.
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.
Dia natolotry ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina ho andraikitr’ i Josefa ny mpifatotra rehetra izay tao an-trano-maizina; ary izay rehetra nataony tao dia izy no antony.
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.
Ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina tsy mba nikarakara na inona na inona izay efa mby an-tànany, satria Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa, ary izay nataony dia nambinin’ i Jehovah.
