Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down 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 Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he 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 saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Mèt li tout te wè Seyè a te avèk Jozèf. Seyè a te fè tout zafè l' mache byen.
4 And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into 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 it came to pass from the time that he appointed him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
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 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and, having him, he knew not aught save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was of beautiful form, and fair to look upon.
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 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said: 'Lie 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 unto his master's wife: 'Behold, my master, having me, knoweth not what is in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand;
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 he is not greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin 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 it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
Se chak jou li te nan kò Jozèf. Men, Jozèf te toujou derefize kouche avè l'.
11 And it came to pass on a certain day, when he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there within,
Yon jou, Jozèf vin pou fè travay li nan kay la. Lè sa a pesonn pa t' la:
12 that she caught him by his garment, saying: 'Lie with me.' And 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 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
Madanm lan menm, lè li wè Jozèf te kite rad la nan men l' pou l' kouri ale deyò,
14 that she called unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying: 'See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
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 it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out.'
Lè li tande m' rele a, msye kouri, li met deyò, li kite rad li la bò kote m'.
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
Madanm lan kite rad la bò kote l', li tann mèt Jozèf la tounen lakay la.
17 And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying: 'The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock 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 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.'
Men, mwen pete yon rèl, li kouri met deyò, li kite rad li bò kote m'.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying: 'After this manner did thy servant to me'; that his wrath was kindled.
Lè Potifa tande madanm li di l' sa domestik li a te fè l', li move sou Jozèf.
20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound; and he was there in the 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 Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper 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 Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
Li mete l' veye tout lòt prizonye yo. Se li menm ki te reskonsab tout bagay nan prizon an.
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which 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.
