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.
Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
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 became a successful man. And he was in the household 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 God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
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.
So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.
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 about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; 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.
So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
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 took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep 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, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.
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 no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, 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 although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with 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.
Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
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.
She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
13 Lè Madanm nan te vin wè ke li te kite vètman li nan men l, e li te kouri deyò,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
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.
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep 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.”
It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
16 Konsa, li te kenbe vètman an kote li jiskaske mèt li te rive nan kay la.
She left his garment by her, until his master 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 told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'
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.”
But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
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 happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.
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.
Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound, and he was there in 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 God was with Joseph and showed him kindness 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.
The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.
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 paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
