Genesisy 39
1 Ary Josefa nentina nidina ho any Egypta; ary Potifara, lehilahy Egyptiana, tandapan’ i Farao sady mpifehy ny mpiambina, no nividy azy tamin’ ny Isimaelita, izay nitondra azy nidina tany.
Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2 Ary Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa, dia lehilahy nambinina izy; ary nitoetra tao an-tranon’ ilay Egyptiana tompony izy.
Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Ary hitan’ ny tompony fa nomban’ i Jehovah izy, ka izay rehetra nataony dia nambinin’ i Jehovah avokoa teo aminy.
His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 Ary Josefa nahita fitia teo imason’ ny tompony, ka dia nanompo azy; dia notendreny ho mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony, ary izay rehetra nananany dia natolony ho andraikiny.
Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 Ary hatramin’ izay nanendreny azy ho mpikarakara ny tao an-tranony mbamin’ izay rehetra nananany dia notahin’ i Jehovah ny tranon’ ilay Egyptiana noho ny amin’ i Josefa; ary ny fitahian’ i Jehovah nomba izay rehetra nananany, na ny tao an-trano, na ny tany an-tsaha.
From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6 Dia navelany ho andraikitr’ i Josefa izay rehetra nananany; ary izy tsy nihevitra intsony izay rehetra nananany na inona na inona afa-tsy ny hanin-kohaniny ihany. Ary Josefa dia bikàna sady tsara tarehy.
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 Ary taorian’ izany ny vadin’ ny tompony nanopy ny masony hijery an’ i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Avia handry amiko.
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 Dia nandà izy ka nanao tamin’ ny vadin’ ny tompony hoe: Indro, ny tompoko tsy mahalala izay tandremako ato an-trano, fa izay rehetra ananany dia efa natolony ho andraikitro avokoa.
But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9 Tsy misy lehibe noho izaho raha amin’ ity trano ity, ary tsy misy zavatra narovany amiko afa-tsy ianao ihany, satria vadiny ianao; koa hataoko ahoana no hanao izany, ratsy lehibe izany ka hanota amin’ Andriamanitra?
No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
10 Ary na dia niteny tamin’ i Josefa isan’ andro aza ravehivavy, dia tsy nety nanaiky azy handry aminy izy na hiara-mitoetra aminy.
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 Ary tamin’ ny indray andro dia niditra tao an-trano Josefa hanao ny raharahany; ary sendra tsy nisy mpanompo tao an-trano tamin’ izay.
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12 Dia nisambotra azy tamin’ ny akanjony ravehivavy ka nanao hoe: Avia handry amiko; fa navelan’ i Josefa teo an-tànany ny akanjony, dia nandositra izy ka nivoaka teny ala-trano.
She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 Ary rehefa hitan-dravehivavy fa navelany teo an-tànany ny akanjony, sady lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 dia niantso ny mpanompo izy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Indro, efa nampiditra lehilahy Hebreo tato amintsika hisangy antsika izy; nanatona ahy mba handry amiko iny, dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery aho;
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 ary nony reny fa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany teto anilako ny akanjony, ary nandositra iny ka lasa any ala-trano.
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 Dia napetra-dravehivavy teo anilany ny akanjon’ i Josefa, mandra-pahatongan’ ny tompony tao an-trano.
She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 Dia nilaza taminy izy araka ireo teny ireo ka nanao hoe: Nanatona ahy ilay andevolahy Hebreo, izay nentinao ho eto amintsika, mba hisangy ahy;
She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18 ary rehefa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany eto anilako ny akanjony, ka lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy.
and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 Ary rehefa ren’ ny tompony ny tenin’ ny vadiny, izay niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Araka ireo teny ireo no nataon’ ilay andevolahinao tamiko, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany.
When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
20 Ary ny tompon’ i Josefa dia naka azy ka nanao azy tao an-trano-maizina, izay fitoeran’ ny mpifatotra diso tamin’ ny mpanjaka; dia nitoetra tao an-trano-maizina izy.
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 custody.
21 Nefa Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa sy namindra fo taminy ka nampahita fitia azy teo imason’ ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina.
But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 Dia natolotry ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina ho andraikitr’ i Josefa ny mpifatotra rehetra izay tao an-trano-maizina; ary izay rehetra nataony tao dia izy no antony.
The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
23 Ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina tsy mba nikarakara na inona na inona izay efa mby an-tànany, satria Jehovah nomba an’ i Josefa, ary izay nataony dia nambinin’ i Jehovah.
The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.
