Jenèz 39
1 Alò, yo te pran Joseph desann an Égypte. Epi Potiphar, yon ofisye Farawon, kòmandan nan gad yo, te achte li nan men Izmayelit yo, ki te fè l desann la.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
2 SENYÈ a te avèk Joseph, e li te byen reyisi. Li te lakay mèt li, Ejipsyen an.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Alò mèt li a te wè ke SENYÈ a te avèk li, e ke li te fè tout sa li te antreprann byen reyisi nan men l.
And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 Konsa, Joseph te twouve favè nan zye li, e li te devni sèvitè pèsonèl li. Li te fè li chèf an tèt tout lakay li, e tout sa ke li te posede, li te mete yo sou chaj li.
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 Epi li te rive ke depi lè sa a li te fè li chèf lakay li, ak sou tout sa li te posede, ke SENYÈ a te beni lakay Ejipsyen an akoz Joseph. Benediksyon SENYÈ a te sou tout sa li te genyen, ni nan kay la, ni nan chan an.
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6 Li te kite tout sa li te gen sou chaj Joseph. Konsa, li pa t okipe tèt li avèk anyen sof ke manje ke li te manje. Alò, Joseph te yon bo gason, ni nan fòm li, ni nan aparans li.
And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not anything he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored.
7 Li te vin rive apre evènman sa yo, ke madanm Potiphar a, te gade Joseph avèk anvi. Konsa, li te di: “Vin kouche avè m.”
And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8 Men Joseph te refize. Li te di a madanm mèt li a: “Mèt mwen pa menm okipe li pou anyen ki nan kay la, e li te mete tout sa li posede sou chaj mwen.
But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand;
9 Nanpwen pèsòn nan kay sa a ki pi gran ke mwen, e li pa refize m anyen, sof ke ou menm, paske ou se madanm li. Kijan konsa, mwen ta kapab fè gwo mal sa a, e peche kont Bondye menm?”
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back any thing from me but you, because you are his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 Pandan li te pale avèk Joseph jou aprè jou, Joseph pa t koute l menm pou kesyon kouche avèk l, oswa pou li ta rete avè l.
And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he listened not to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 Alò li vin rive yon jou ke li te antre nan kay la pou fè travay li, e pa t gen lòt nan ouvriye lakay yo ki te andedan kay la.
And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12 Konsa, Madanm nan te kenbe li pa vètman li. Li te di: “Kouche avè m!” Men li te kite vètman li nan men l, e te sove ale deyò.
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13 Lè Madanm nan te vin wè ke li te kite vètman li nan men l, e li te kouri deyò,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14 li te rele tout gason ouvriye lakay li yo, e li te di yo: “Ou wè sa, li pote bannou yon Ebre ki pou vin fè jwèt avèk nou. Li te vin antre sou mwen pou kouche avè m, men mwen te rele fò.
That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in an Hebrew to us to mock us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15 Lè li tande ke m te leve vwa m pou rele fò, li te kite vètman li bò kote mwen, e li te sove ale kouri deyò.”
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
16 Konsa, li te kenbe vètman an kote li jiskaske mèt li te rive nan kay la.
And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
17 Alò, li te pale avèk li ak pawòl sa yo: “Esklav Ebre ke ou te mennen bannou an, te antre kote mwen pou fè spò avè m,
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me:
18 men lè m te leve vwa m pou te rele fò, li te kite vètman li bò kote mwen pou te sove ale deyò.”
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19 Alò, lè mèt la te tande pawòl a madanm li yo, lè li te pale pou di: “Men sa esklav ou a te fè m nan,” li te vin brile avèk kòlè.
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did your servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20 Konsa, mèt Joseph la te pran li e te mete li nan prizon, nan plas kote prizonye ki pou wa yo te ye. Epi li te la nan prizon an.
And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
21 Men SENYÈ a te avèk Joseph. Li te fè li gras, e Li te fè li vin gen favè nan zye a chèf prizon an.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 Chèf Kasèl la te fè Joseph responsab tout prizonye yo ki te nan prizon an, jiskaske nenpòt sa ki te fèt ladann, li te vin responsab.
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23 Chèf Kasèl la pa t sipèvize anyen ki te anba direksyon Joseph, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li, paske nenpòt sa li te fè, SENYÈ a te fè l pwospere.
The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
