¹And 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 Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither.

¹[Ny nanaovana an'i Josefa tao an-trano-maizina] 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.

²And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

²Ary Jehovah nomba an'i Josefa, dia lehilahy nambinina izy; ary nitoetra tao an-tranon'ilay Egyptiana tompony izy.

³And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

³Ary hitan'ny tompony fa nomban'i Jehovah izy, ka izay rehetra natao­ny dia nambinin'i Jehovah avokoa teo aminy.

⁴And 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.

⁴Ary 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.

⁵And 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 upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

⁵Ary 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.

⁶And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored.

⁶Dia 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.

⁷And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

⁷Ary taorian'izany ny vadin'ny tompony nanopy ny masony hijery an'i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Avia handry amiko.

⁸But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

⁸Dia 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.

⁹There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

⁹Tsy 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?

¹⁰And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

¹⁰Ary na dia niteny tamin'i Josefa isan'andro aza ravehivavy, dia tsy nety nanaiky azy handry aminy izy na hiara-mitoetra aminy.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹Ary tamin'ny indray andro dia niditra tao an-trano Josefa hanao ny raharahany; ary sendra tsy nisy mpanompo tao an-trano tamin'izay.

¹²And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

¹²Dia 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.

¹³And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

¹³Ary rehefa hitan-dravehivavy fa navelany teo an-tànany ny akanjony, sady lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy,

¹⁴That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

¹⁴dia 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;

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵ary nony reny fa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany teto anilako ny akanjony, ary nandositra iny ka lasa any ala-trano.

¹⁶And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

¹⁶Dia napetra-dravehivavy teo anilany ny akanjon'i Josefa, mandra-pahatongan'ny tompony tao an-trano.

¹⁷And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:

¹⁷Dia nilaza taminy izy araka ireo teny ireo ka nanao hoe: Nanatona ahy ilay andevolahy Hebreo, izay nentinao ho eto amintsika, mba hisangy ahy;

¹⁸And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

¹⁸ary rehefa nanandratra ny feoko aho ka niantso, dia navelany eto anilako ny akanjony, ka lasa nandositra any ala-trano izy.

¹⁹And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

¹⁹Ary 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.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰Ary 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.

²¹But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

²¹Nefa Jehovah nomba an'i Josefa sy namindra fo taminy ka nampahita fitia azy teo imason'ny mpitandrina ny trano-maizina.

²²And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

²²Dia 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.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.

²³The 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.

²³Ny 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.
