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 Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.
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 with his lord 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 knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
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 the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
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 after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his 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 committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
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 upon Joseph, and 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 would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
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?
and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, 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 when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as 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,
it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household 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 hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
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 clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone 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 those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, 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 when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
16 И тя задържа дрехата му при себе си, докато си дойде господарят му в дома си.
So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
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, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
18 но, като извиках с висок глас, той остави дрехата си при мене и избяга вън.
And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
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 all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
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 his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
21 Но Господ беше с Иосифа и показваше благост към него и му даде благоволение пред очите на тъмничния началник.
And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favor in the sight of the chief 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 chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.
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.
Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
