Genesis 39
1 And Joseph hath been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buyeth him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have 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 Jehovah is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord 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 lord seeth that Jehovah is with him, and all that he is doing Jehovah is causing 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 findeth grace in his eyes and serveth him, and he appointeth him over his house, and all that he hath he hath given 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 cometh to pass from the time that he hath appointed him over his house, and over all that he hath, that Jehovah blesseth the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of Jehovah is on all that he hath, 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 leaveth all that he hath in the hand of Joseph, and he hath not known anything that he hath, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a fair form, and of a fair appearance.
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 cometh to pass after these things, that his lord's wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, 'Lie with me;'
Sima na yango, mwasi ya nkolo ya Jozefi alulaki ye Jozefi mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka kosangisa na ngai nzoto!
8 and he refuseth, and saith unto his lord's wife, 'Lo, my lord hath not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he hath he hath 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 none is greater in this house than I, and he hath not withheld from me anything, except thee, because thou [art] his wife; and how shall I do this great evil? — then have I sinned 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 cometh to pass at her speaking unto Joseph day [by] day, that he hath not hearkened unto her, to lie near her, 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 and it cometh to pass about this day, that he goeth into the house to do his work, and there is 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 and she catcheth him by his garment, saying, 'Lie with me;' and he leaveth his garment in her hand, and fleeth, and goeth without.
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 cometh to pass when she seeth that he hath left his garment in her hand, and fleeth without,
Tango mwasi ya Potifari amonaki ete Jozefi asundoli elamba na ye kati na maboko na ye mpe akimi libanda,
14 that she calleth for the men of her house, and speaketh to them, saying, 'See, he hath brought in to us a man, a Hebrew, to play with us; he hath come in unto me, to lie with me, and I call 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 cometh to pass, when he heareth that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth, and goeth without.'
Tango ayoki ete nagangi makasi mpo na koluka lisalisi, asundoli elamba na ye pembeni na ngai mpe akimi libanda!
16 And she placeth his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord unto his house.
Mwasi ya Potifari abombaki elamba ya Jozefi pembeni na ye kino mobali na ye azongaki na ndako.
17 And she speaketh unto him according to these words, saying, 'The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, hath come in unto me to play with me;
Bongo abetelaki ye lisolo: — Mowumbu Mo-Ebre oyo omemelaki biso, ayaki epai na ngai mpo na kosakana na ngai.
18 and it cometh to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth without.'
Kasi tango nagangaki makasi mpo na koluka lisalisi, asundolaki elamba na ye pembeni na ngai mpe akimaki libanda.
19 And it cometh to pass when his lord heareth the words of his wife, which she hath spoken unto him, saying, 'According to these things hath thy servant done to me,' that his anger burneth;
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 taketh him, and putteth him unto the round-house, a place where the king's prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-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 is with Joseph, and stretcheth out kindness unto him, and putteth his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-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 round-house giveth into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he hath been doer;
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 round-house seeth not anything under his hand, because Jehovah [is] with him, and that which he is doing Jehovah is causing 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.
