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.
Ioseph was brought vnto Egipte ad Putiphar a lorde of Pharaos: ad his chefe marshall an Egiptian bought him of ye Ismaelites which brought hi thither
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 the LORde was with Ioseph and he was a luckie felowe and continued in the house of his master the Egiptian.
3 Potifar de dzesii be Yehowa li kple Yosef le mɔ tɔxɛ aɖe nu,
And his master sawe that the ORde was with him and that the LORde made all that he dyd prosper in his hande:
4 eya ta Potifar lɔ̃ Yosef. Etsɔe ɖo eƒe aƒemenuwo kple eƒe dɔwɔnawo dzi kpɔkpɔ nu.
Wherfore he founde grace in his masters syghte and serued him. And his master made him ruelar of his house and put all that he had in his hande.
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 as soone as he had made him ruelar ouer his house ad ouer all that he had the LORde blessed this Egiptians house for Iosephs sake and the blessynge of the LORde was vpon all that he had: both in the house and also in the feldes.
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 therfore he left all that he had in Iosephs hande and loked vpon nothinge that was with him saue only on the bread which he ate. And Ioseph was a goodly persone and a well favored
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 fortuned after this that his masters wife cast hir eyes vpon Ioseph and sayde come lye with me.
8 Yosef gbe hegblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, nye aƒetɔ ka ɖe dzinye, eye wòtsɔm ɖo eƒe aƒemenuwo katã nu.
But he denyed and sayde to her: Beholde my master woteth not what he hath in the house with me but hath commytted all that he hath to my hande
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.”
He him selfe is not greatter in the house than I ad hath kepte nothige fro me but only the because thou art his wife. How than cam I do this great wykydnes for to synne agaynst 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 after this maner spake she to Ioseph daye by daye: but he harkened not vnto her to slepe nere her or to be in her company.
11 Gbe ɖeka esi Yosef nɔ eƒe aƒemedɔwo wɔm, eye ame bubu aɖeke menɔ afi ma lɔƒo o la,
And it fortuned aboute the same season that Ioseph entred in to the house to do his busynes: and there was none of the houshold by 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 caught him by the garment saynge: come slepe with me. And he left his garment in hir hande ad fled and gott him out
13 Esi Potifar srɔ̃ kpɔ be eƒe awu tsi ye si, eye wòsi dzo la,
when she sawe that he had left his garmet in hir hande and was fled out
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.
she called vnto the men of the house and tolde them saynge: Se he hath brought in an Hebrewe vnto vs to do vs shame. for he came in to me for to haue slept myth me. But I cried with a lowde voyce.
15 Esi wòse medo ɣli be amewo nava xɔ nam la, egblẽ eƒe awu ɖe gbɔnye, eye wòsi do go le aƒea me.”
And when he harde that I lyfte vp my voyce and cryed he left his garment with me and fled awaye and got him out.
16 Etsɔ awu la dzra ɖo, eye esi srɔ̃a gbɔ fiẽ ma la,
And she layed vp his garment by her vntill hir lorde came home.
17 egblɔ nya blibo la nɛ be, “Hebri kluvi ma si nèkplɔ va afi sia la di be yeadɔ gbɔnye sesẽtɔe.
And she told him acordynge to these wordes saynge. This Hebrues servaunte which thou hast brought vnto vs came in to me to do me shame.
18 Nye ɣlidodo koe ɖem tso eƒe asi me. Esi dzo hegblẽ eƒe awu ɖe megbe!”
But as soone as I lyft vp my voyce and cryed he left his garment with me and fled out.
19 Esi Potifar se nya sia la, edo dɔmedzoe.
When his master herde the woordes of his wyfe which she tolde him saynge: after this maner dyd thy servaunte to me he waxed wrooth.
20 Elé Yosef de gaxɔ me, afi si wodea ga fia Farao ƒe gaxɔmenɔlawo ɖo.
And he toke Ioseph and put him in pryson: euen in the place where the kinges prisoners laye bounde. And there contynued he in preson.
21 Ke Yehowa ganɔ kple Yosef le afi ma hã; eve enu, eye wòna gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã ƒe dɔ me trɔ ɖe eŋu.
But the LORde was with Ioseph ad shewed him mercie and gott him fauoure in the syghte of the keper of ye preson
22 Eteƒe medidi o la, gaxɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe amegã la tsɔ gaxɔa dzi kpɔkpɔ de asi na Yosef, eye gaxɔmenɔla bubuawo katã nɔ ete.
which commytted to Iosephe hade all the presoners that were in the preson housse. And what soeuer was done there yt dyd he.
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.
And the keper of the preso loked vnto nothinge that was vnder his hande because the LORde was with him and because that what soeuer he dyd the LORde made it come luckely to passe.
