Mose 1 39
1 Esi Ismaeletɔwo kplɔ Yosef yi Egipte la, wodzrae abe kluvi ene na Potifar, ame si nye Egipte fia, Farao ŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka. Eganye Farao ŋu dzɔlawo ƒe amegã kple aƒedzikpɔlawo ƒe amega hã.
And Joseph has been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buys him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him there.
2 Yehowa yra Yosef le eƒe aƒetɔ si nye Egiptetɔ la ƒe aƒe me ale gbegbe be nu sia nu si wòwɔna la dzea edzi.
And YHWH is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,
3 Potifar de dzesii be Yehowa li kple Yosef le mɔ tɔxɛ aɖe nu,
and his lord sees that YHWH is with him, and all that he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper in his hand,
4 eya ta Potifar lɔ̃ Yosef. Etsɔe ɖo eƒe aƒemenuwo kple eƒe dɔwɔnawo dzi kpɔkpɔ nu.
and Joseph finds grace in his eyes and serves him, and he appoints him over his house, and all that he has he has given into his hand.
5 Enumake Yehowa de asi Potifar yayra me ɖe Yosef ta. Eƒe aƒemenyawo katã tsɔ afɔ nyuie; eƒe agblemenukuwo ʋã nyuie, eye eƒe lãwo hã dzi ɖe edzi,
And it comes to pass from the time that he has appointed him over his house, and over all that he has, that YHWH blesses the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of YHWH is on all that he has, in the house, and in the field;
6 eya ta Potifar tsɔ nu siwo katã nɔ esi la dzi kpɔkpɔ de esi. Zi ale si Yosef li ko la, megatsia dzi ɖe naneke ŋu o, negbe nu si wòadi be yeaɖu ko! Ke Yosef nye ɖekakpui dzeɖekɛ aɖe.
and he leaves all that he has in the hand of Joseph, and he has not known anything that he has, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a handsome form, and of a handsome appearance.
7 Le ɣeyiɣi siawo me la, Potifar srɔ̃ de asi ahiãmoɖoɖo na Yosef me, eye gbe ɖeka la, egblɔ na Yosef be wòadɔ kpli ye.
And it comes to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifts up her eyes to Joseph and says, “Lie with me”;
8 Yosef gbe hegblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, nye aƒetɔ ka ɖe dzinye, eye wòtsɔm ɖo eƒe aƒemenuwo katã nu.
and he refuses and says to his lord’s wife, “Behold, my lord has not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand;
9 Ŋusẽ megale esi wum le aƒe sia me o! Meɖe naneke le nye dzikpɔkpɔ te o, negbe wò ko, elabena srɔ̃e nènye. Aleke mate ŋu awɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi, ŋutasẽnu sia tɔgbi? Anye nu vɔ̃ gã aɖe mawɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu.”
none is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld from me anything, except you, because you [are] his wife; and how will I do this great evil? Then I have sinned against God.”
10 Ke Potifar srɔ̃ ganɔ nya la ƒom ɖe Yosef nu kokoko gbe sia gbe, gake Yosef do tokui, eye wòdea axa nɛ ale si wòate ŋui.
And it comes to pass at her speaking to Joseph day [by] day, that he has not listened to her, to lie near her, to be with her;
11 Gbe ɖeka esi Yosef nɔ eƒe aƒemedɔwo wɔm, eye ame bubu aɖeke menɔ afi ma lɔƒo o la,
and it comes to pass about this day, that he goes into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,
12 Potifar srɔ̃ va lé awu ɖe Yosef ŋu, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Dɔ gbɔnye!” Yosef ʋli le esi, ke le ʋiʋlia me la, eƒe dziwui tsi nyɔnu la si. Yosef si do le xɔa me.
and she catches him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me”; and he leaves his garment in her hand, and flees, and goes outside.
13 Esi Potifar srɔ̃ kpɔ be eƒe awu tsi ye si, eye wòsi dzo la,
And it comes to pass, when she sees that he has left his garment in her hand, and flees outside,
14 eyɔ eƒe subɔlawo, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mikpɔ ɖa, wokplɔ Hebri ɖekakpui sia vɛ be wòado ŋukpe mí! Eva afi sia be yeadɔ kplim, ke medo ɣli.
that she calls for the men of her house, and speaks to them, saying, “See, he has brought a man to us, a Hebrew, to play with us; he has come in to me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,
15 Esi wòse medo ɣli be amewo nava xɔ nam la, egblẽ eƒe awu ɖe gbɔnye, eye wòsi do go le aƒea me.”
and it comes to pass, when he hears that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees, and goes outside.”
16 Etsɔ awu la dzra ɖo, eye esi srɔ̃a gbɔ fiẽ ma la,
And she places his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord to his house.
17 egblɔ nya blibo la nɛ be, “Hebri kluvi ma si nèkplɔ va afi sia la di be yeadɔ gbɔnye sesẽtɔe.
And she speaks to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you have brought to us, has come in to me to play with me;
18 Nye ɣlidodo koe ɖem tso eƒe asi me. Esi dzo hegblẽ eƒe awu ɖe megbe!”
and it comes to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees outside.”
19 Esi Potifar se nya sia la, edo dɔmedzoe.
And it comes to pass, when his lord hears the words of his wife, which she has spoken to him, saying, “According to these things has your servant done to me,” that his anger burns;
20 Elé Yosef de gaxɔ me, afi si wodea ga fia Farao ƒe gaxɔmenɔlawo ɖo.
and Joseph’s lord takes him, and puts him to the round-house, a place where the king’s prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-house.
21 Ke Yehowa ganɔ kple Yosef le afi ma hã; eve enu, eye wòna gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã ƒe dɔ me trɔ ɖe eŋu.
And YHWH is with Joseph, and stretches out kindness to him, and puts his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;
22 Eteƒe medidi o la, gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã la tsɔ gaxɔa dzi kpɔkpɔ de asi na Yosef, eye gaxɔmenɔla bubuawo katã nɔ ete.
and the chief of the round-house gives into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he has been doer;
23 Gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã megatsia dzi ɖe naneke ŋuti o, elabena Yosef kpɔa nu sia nu dzi nyuie. Yehowa nɔ kplii, eye nu sia nu dze edzi nɛ nyuie.
the chief of the round-house does not see anything under his hand, because YHWH [is] with him, and that which he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper.
