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.
Now, Joseph, was taken down to Egypt, —and Potiphar, courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners, an Egyptian bought him, at the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.
2 И Господ беше с Иосифа, и той благоуспяваше и се намираше в дома на господаря си египтянина.
And it came to pass that Yahweh, was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man, —and was in the house of 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 lord saw, that, Yahweh, was with him—and that whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing 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.
So Joseph found favour in his eyes and waited upon him, —and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had, gave he 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 made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian, for Joseph’s sake, —yea it came to pass, that the blessing of Yahweh, was with 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.
so that he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and took note with him of nothing, save only the bread which, he himself, was eating. And so it was that Joseph was comely in form and comely 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 lord’s wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, —and she said—Come! 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;
And he refused and said unto his lord’s wife, Lo! my lord, taketh no note with me as to what is in the house, —but, all that pertaineth to him, hath he delivered into 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 no one greater in this house than I, neither hath he withheld from me anything, save only thyself in that thou, art his wife, —how, then could 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, that although she Spake unto Joseph day after day, yet hearkened he not unto her to lie beside her 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, when, on a certain day, he went into the house to attend to his business, —and there was no man of the household, there in the house,
12 тя го хвана за дрехата и му каза: Легни с мене. Но той остави дрехата си в ръката й, избяга и излезе вън.
that she caught him by his garment, saying—Come! lie with me. Then left he his garment in her hand, and fled and gat forth outside,
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 fled forth outside,
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 cried out to the men of her house and spake to them, saying, Look ye! he hath brought in to us a Hebrew man to insult us, —He came in unto me, to lie with me, so I cried out 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 high my voice, and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled and gat forth outside.
16 И тя задържа дрехата му при себе си, докато си дойде господарят му в дома си.
So she laid by his garment beside her, —until his lord should come into 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;
Then spake she unto him, according to these words, saying, —He hath been in unto me—the Hebrew servant whom thou didst bring in to us—to insult me.
18 но, като извиках с висок глас, той остави дрехата си при мене и избяга вън.
And it came to pass when I lifted high my voice and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled outside.
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 lord heard the words of his wife which she spake unto him saying, According to these words, hath thy servant done to me, Then was kindled his anger.
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.
So Joseph’s lord took him and delivered him up to the prison: the place where, the prisoners of the king, were imprisoned, —so 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.
And it came to pass that, Yahweh, was with Joseph, and extended unto him lovingkindness, —and gave him his favour in the eyes of the chief 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.
So the chief of the prison delivered up, into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison, —and of all that was doing there, he, was the doer.
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.
After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand, —in that Yahweh, was with him, and whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.
