Genesis 39 (TDX)

1Ie amy zao, fa nendeseñe nizotso mb’e Mitsraime añe t’Iosefe, vaho vinili’ i Potifare nte-Mitsraime, roandria’ i Parò, talè o mpigaritseo, amo nte-Iesmaèle ninday aze nizotso mb’eoo.Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

2Nindre am’ Iosefe t’Iehovà, le niraorao indatiy, ie nimoneñe añ’ anjomban-tompo’e nte-Mitsraime ao.And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.

3Ie nioni’ i tompo’ey te nitahy aze t’i Iehovà naho nampihenefe’ Iehovà ze hene nanoen-taña’e,When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,

4le nisoheñe am-pihaino’e t’Iosefe amy fitoroña’e naho nanoe’e mpamandroñe i anjomba’ey vaho hene napo’e an-taña’e ao ze fanaña’e.Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.

5Mifototse amy nampifeheañe aze i anjomba’ey naho ze hene vara’ey, le nitahie’ Iehovà ty anjomba’ i nte-Mitsraimey ty am’ Iosefe. Le tamo fanaña’e iabio naho añ’anjomba ao vaho an-tetek’ ey ty hanintsi’ Iehovà.From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.

6Aa le nado’e an-taña’ Iosefey ze hanaña’e iaby, le tsy eo ty nidarè’e naho tsy ty mahakama nikamae’e avao. Nimontsotsòre naho naram-bintañe t’Iosefe.So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,

7Aa ie roñoñe añe, nikiroke Iosefe ty vali’ i tompo’ey vaho nanoa’e ty hoe, Miharoa tihy amako.and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”

8F’ie nifoneñe, naho nanao ty hoe amy vali’ i tompo’eiy, Inao! kanao etoan-draho, tsy añ’ anjomba’e ao ty idarea’ i tompokoy, vaho napo’e an-tañako ze hene hanaña’e.But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.

9Tsy aman-joke iraho añ’ anjomba atoy, vaho tsy eo ty nazi’e amako naho tsy ihe, kanao vali’e. Aa le akore ty hanoako o halò-tsereke zao, hampanan-kakeo ahy aman’ Añahare?No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”

10Aa ndra t’ie nañedre Iosefe boak’ andro, tsy nihaoñe’e, tsy niolora’e, tsy nindreza’e.Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.

11Aa teo te indraike, ie nizilik’ añ’ anjomba ao hitoloñe, naho tsy ama’ ondaty i anjombayOne day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.

12le vinontiti’ i rakembay i saro’ey, nanao ama’e ty hoe, Miolora amako! F’ie nado’e am-pità’e i saro’ ey vaho nipoliotse mb’alafe’e ao.She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.

13Ie nanjo’ i saro’ey an-taña’e amy nipolitira’e mb’alafe’aoyWhen she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,

14le kinaikai’e o mpiañ’ anjomba’eo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe, Hehe, ninday nte-Evre aman-tika atoy i valikoy hañonjitse an-tika. Nimoak’ amako ao re hamahotse ahiko, le nikaike iraho;she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.

15ie tsinano’e i koiakoy, le nado’e amako i saro’ey vaho nibotitsike mb’alafe ao.When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

16Nahaja’e ama’e ao i saro’ey ampara’ te nimpoly i vali’ey,So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

17le nindrai’e i talili’ey, ami’ty hoe, Nizilik’ amako ao hanìtse ahiko i ondevo nte-Evre nendese’o ama’ay atoiy;Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,

18fe nampipoña-peo iraho le nikoiake, naho napo’e amako i saro’ey vaho nibioñe alafe ao.but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

19Ie jinanji’ i tompo’ey ty enta’ i vali’ey nanao ty hoe: Zao ty nanoa’ i mpitoro’oy ahiko; le niforoforo ty haviñera’e,When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

20naho rinambe’ i tompo’ Iosefey re vaho najo’e am-porozò ao, an-toem-pijoñam-pirohim-panjaka ao; aa le tam-balabey ao re,So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,

21fe nindre am’ Iosefe t’Iehovà vaho niferenaiña’e; nisohe’e añatrefa’ ty mpifehe’ i kijam-pigaritañey.the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

22Aa le napo’ i mpifehey am-pità’ Iosefe ze hene mpirohy am-balabey ao, le ndra inoñ’ ino ty nanoeñe ao, ie ty nitoloñe.And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

23Tsy nidarè’ i mpigari-beiy ze nado’e am-pità’ Iosefe, amy te nindreza’ Iehovà; vaho nampibodobodoe’ Iehovà ze hene nanoe’e.The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
