Битие 39
1 А Иосифа заведоха в Египет, и египтянинът Петефрий, Фараонов придворен, началник на телохранителите, го купи от ръката на исмаиляните, които го доведоха там.
And 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 Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
2 И Господ беше с Иосифа, и той благоуспяваше и се намираше в дома на господаря си египтянина.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 И като видя господарят му, че Господ бе с него, и че Господ прави да успява в ръката му всичко, което вършеше,
And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 Иосиф придоби благоволение пред очите му и му служеше; и той го постави настоятел на дома си, като предаде в ръката му всичко, което имаше.
And 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.
5 И откакто го постави настоятел на дома си и на всичко, което имаше, Господ благослови дома на египтянина заради Иосифа; Господното благословение беше върху всичко, що имаше в дома и по нивите.
And 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 on all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6 А Петефрий остави всичко що имаше в Иосифовата ръка, и, освен хляба, който ядеше, не знаеше нищо за онова, което притежаваше. А Иосиф беше строен и красив.
And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not anything he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored.
7 И след време, жената на господаря му хвърли очи на Иосифа и му рече: Легни с мене.
And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8 Но той отказа и рече на жената на господаря си: Виж, господарят ми не знае нищо за онова, което е с мене в дома и предаде в моята ръка всичко що има;
But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand;
9 в тоя дом няма никой по-голям от мене, нито е задържал от мене друго нещо освен тебе, защото си му жена; как, прочее, да сторя аз това голямо зло и да съгреша пред Бога?
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back any thing from me but you, because you are his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 И при все, че тя говореше на Иосифа всеки ден, той не я послуша да лежи с нея, нито да бъде с нея.
And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he listened not to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 А един ден, като влезе Иосиф в къщи, за да върши работата си, а никой от домашните мъже не беше там в къщи,
And 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.
12 тя го хвана за дрехата и му каза: Легни с мене. Но той остави дрехата си в ръката й, избяга и излезе вън.
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13 А като видя, че остави дрехата си в ръката й и избяга вън,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14 тя извика домашните си мъже и им говори, казвайки: Вижте, доведе ни един евреин, за да се поругае с нас; той влезе при мене, за да ме изнасили; но аз извиках с висок глас.
That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in an Hebrew to us to mock us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15 А той, като чу, че извиках с висок глас, остави дрехата си при мене и избяга та излезе вън.
And 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.
16 И тя задържа дрехата му при себе си, докато си дойде господарят му в дома си.
And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
17 И според тия думи му говори, казвайки: Еврейският слуга, когото ти си ни довел, влезе при мене, за да ми се поругае;
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me:
18 но, като извиках с висок глас, той остави дрехата си при мене и избяга вън.
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19 Като чу господарят му думите, които му рече жена му, казвайки: Така ми стори слугата ти, гневът му пламна.
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did your servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20 И господарят му взе Иосифа и го хвърли в крепостната тъмница, в мястото гдето бяха запирани царските затворници; и той остана там в крепостната тъмница.
And 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.
21 Но Господ беше с Иосифа и показваше благост към него и му даде благоволение пред очите на тъмничния началник.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 Тъй че тъмничният началник предаде на Иосифовата ръка всичките затворници, които бяха в крепостната тъмница; и за всичко що се вършеше там, той беше разпоредник.
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23 Тъмничният началник не нагледваше нищо от онова, което бе в ръката на Иосифа; защото Господ беше с него и Господ правеше да благоуспява всичко, каквото той вършеше.
The 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.
