Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.
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.
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,
SENYÈ a te avèk Joseph, e li te byen reyisi. Li te lakay mèt li, Ejipsyen an.
3 Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
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.
4 And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:
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.
5 And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
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.
6 Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
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.
7 And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
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.”
8 But he, in no wise consenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house:
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.
9 Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife: how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God?
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?”
10 With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
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.
11 Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
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.
12 And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.
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.
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
Lè Madanm nan te vin wè ke li te kite vètman li nan men l, e li te kouri deyò,
14 She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,
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.
15 And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
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.”
16 For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
Konsa, li te kenbe vètman an kote li jiskaske mèt li te rive nan kay la.
17 And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
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,
18 And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
men lè m te leve vwa m pou te rele fò, li te kite vètman li bò kote mwen pou te sove ale deyò.”
19 His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.
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.
20 And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
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.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
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.
22 Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
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.
23 Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
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.
