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.

¹Joseph 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.

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

²Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

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

³His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in 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.

⁴Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

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.

⁵It happened from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Yahweh was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.

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.

⁶He 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.

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

⁷It happened after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”

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.

⁸But 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.

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?

⁹He isn’t greater in this house than I, neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

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

¹⁰As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

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

¹¹About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.

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.

¹²She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.

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

¹³When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,

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;

¹⁴she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

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

¹⁵It happened, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”

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

¹⁶She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.

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

¹⁷She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,

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

¹⁸and it happened, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”

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.

¹⁹It happened, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” that his wrath was kindled.

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.

²⁰Joseph’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.

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

²¹But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

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.

²²The 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.

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.

²³The 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.
