And he saw master his that Yahweh [was] with him and all that he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful in hand his.

And he found Joseph favor in view his and he served him and he appointed him over household his and all [that] there [belonged] to him he gave in hand his.

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 left all that [belonged] to him in [the] hand of Joseph and not he knew with him anything that except the food which he [was] eating and he was Joseph handsome of form and handsome of appearance.

Not [is] he great in the household this more than me and not he has withheld from me anything that except you in that you [are] wife his and how? will I do the evil great this and I will sin to 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 was when spoke she to Joseph day - day and not he listened to her to lie beside her to be with her.

And he took [the] master of Joseph him and he put him into [the] house of the prison [the] place where ([the] prisoners of *Q(K)*) the king [were] imprisoned and he was there in [the] house of the prison.
21 Ke Yehowa ganɔ kple Yosef le afi ma hã; eve enu, eye wòna gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã ƒe dɔ me trɔ ɖe eŋu.
And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he extended to him covenant loyalty and he gave favor his in [the] eyes of [the] commander of [the] house of the prison.
22 Eteƒe medidi o la, gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã la tsɔ gaxɔa dzi kpɔkpɔ de asi na Yosef, eye gaxɔmenɔla bubuawo katã nɔ ete.
And he gave [the] commander of [the] house of the prison in [the] hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [were] in [the] house of the prison and all that [they were] doing there he he was doing.
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.
Not - [the] commander of [the] house of the prison [was] seeing all anything in hand his in that Yahweh [was] with him and [that] which he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful.
