Jenèz 39
1 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.
Therfor Joseph was led in to Egipt, and Putifar, `chast and onest seruaunt of Farao, prince of the oost, a man of Egipt, bouyte hym of the hondis of Ismaelitis, of which he was brouyt.
2 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.
And the Lord was with hym, and he was a man doynge with prosperite in alle thingis. And Joseph dwellide in `the hows of his lord,
3 Mèt li tout te wè Seyè a te avèk Jozèf. Seyè a te fè tout zafè l' mache byen.
which knew best that the Lord was with Joseph, and that alle thingis whiche he dide, weren dressid of the Lord in `the hond of hym.
4 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.
And Joseph foond grace bifor his lord, and `mynystride to hym, of whom Joseph was maad souereyn of alle thingis, and gouernede the hows bitaken to hym, and alle thingis that weren bitakun to hym.
5 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'.
And the Lord blesside the `hows of Egipcian for Joseph, and multipliede al his catel, as wel in howsis as in feeldis;
6 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.
nether he knew ony other thing no but `breed which he eet. Forsothe Joseph was fair in face, and schapli in siyt.
7 Se konsa madanm mèt li a vin tonbe pou li. Li di l': -vin kouche avè m' non!
And so aftir many daies the ladi castide hir iyen in to Joseph, and seide, Slepe thou with me;
8 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'.
which assentide not to the vnleueful werk, and seide to hir, Lo! while alle thingis ben bitakun to me, my lord woot not what he hath in his hows,
9 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?
nether ony thing is, which is not in my power, ether which `he hath not bitake to me, outakun thee, which art his wijf; how therfor may Y do this yuel, and do synne ayens my lord?
10 Se chak jou li te nan kò Jozèf. Men, Jozèf te toujou derefize kouche avè l'.
Thei spaken siche wordis `bi alle daies, and the womman was diseseful to the yong waxynge man, and he forsook auoutrie.
11 Yon jou, Jozèf vin pou fè travay li nan kay la. Lè sa a pesonn pa t' la:
Forsothe it bifelde in a dai, that Joseph entride in to the hows, and dide sum werk with out witnessis.
12 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.
And sche took `the hem of his clooth, and sche seide, Slepe thou with me; and he lefte the mentil in hir hoond, and he fledde, and yede out.
13 Madanm lan menm, lè li wè Jozèf te kite rad la nan men l' pou l' kouri ale deyò,
And whanne the womman hadde seyn the clooth in hir hondis, and that sche was dispisid,
14 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.
sche clepide to hir the men of hir hows, and seide to hem, Lo! my lord hath brouyt in an Ebrew man, that he schulde scorn vs; he entride to me to do leccherie with me, and whanne Y criede, and he herde my vois,
15 Lè li tande m' rele a, msye kouri, li met deyò, li kite rad li la bò kote m'.
he lefte the mentil which Y helde, and he fledde out.
16 Madanm lan kite rad la bò kote l', li tann mèt Jozèf la tounen lakay la.
Therfor in to the preuyng of trouthe, sche schewide the mantil, holdun to the hosebonde turnynge ayen hoom.
17 Li rakonte l' menm bagay la, li di l': -Esklav ebre ou mennen lakay la vin jwenn mwen jouk isit la pou avili m'.
And she seide, The Ebrew seruaunt, whom thou brouytist, entride to me to scorne me; and whanne he siy me crye,
18 Men, mwen pete yon rèl, li kouri met deyò, li kite rad li bò kote m'.
he lefte the mentil which Y helde, and he fledde out.
19 Lè Potifa tande madanm li di l' sa domestik li a te fè l', li move sou Jozèf.
And whanne these thingis weren herd, the lord bileuyde ouer myche to the wordis of the wijf, and was ful wrooth;
20 Li fè arete l', mete l' nan prizon kote yo fèmen tout prizonye wa a. Se konsa Jozèf twouve l' nan prizon.
and he bitook Joseph in to prisoun, where the bounden men of the kyng weren kept, and he was closid there.
21 Men Seyè a te kanpe la avèk Jozèf. Li moutre l' jan l' te renmen l', li fè chèf prizon an gen Jozèf konfyans.
Forsothe the Lord was with Joseph, and hadde mercy on hym, and yaf grace to hym in the siyt of the prince of the prisoun,
22 Li mete l' veye tout lòt prizonye yo. Se li menm ki te reskonsab tout bagay nan prizon an.
which bitook in the hond of Joseph alle prisoneris that weren holdun in kepyng, and what euer thing was doon, it was vndur Joseph, nethir the prince knewe ony thing,
23 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.
for alle thingis weren bitakun to Joseph; for the Lord was with hym, and dresside alle his werkis.
