创世记 39
1 约瑟被带下埃及去。有一个埃及人，是法老的内臣—护卫长波提乏，从那些带下他来的以实玛利人手下买了他去。
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
2 约瑟住在他主人埃及人的家中，耶和华与他同在，他就百事顺利。
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 他主人见耶和华与他同在，又见耶和华使他手里所办的尽都顺利，
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 约瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩，伺候他主人，并且主人派他管理家务，把一切所有的都交在他手里。
And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
5 自从主人派约瑟管理家务和他一切所有的，耶和华就因约瑟的缘故赐福与那埃及人的家；凡家里和田间一切所有的都蒙耶和华赐福。
And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
6 波提乏将一切所有的都交在约瑟的手中，除了自己所吃的饭，别的事一概不知。 约瑟原来秀雅俊美。
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
7 这事以后，约瑟主人的妻以目送情给约瑟，说：“你与我同寝吧！”
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
8 约瑟不从，对他主人的妻说：“看哪，一切家务，我主人都不知道；他把所有的都交在我手里。
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
9 在这家里没有比我大的；并且他没有留下一样不交给我，只留下了你，因为你是他的妻子。我怎能作这大恶，得罪 神呢？”
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 后来她天天和约瑟说，约瑟却不听从她，不与她同寝，也不和她在一处。
And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
11 有一天，约瑟进屋里去办事，家中人没有一个在那屋里，
that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
12 妇人就拉住他的衣裳，说：“你与我同寝吧！”约瑟把衣裳丢在妇人手里，跑到外边去了。
Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
13 妇人看见约瑟把衣裳丢在她手里跑出去了，
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
14 就叫了家里的人来，对他们说：“你们看！他带了一个希伯来人进入我们家里，要戏弄我们。他到我这里来，要与我同寝，我就大声喊叫。
that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;
15 他听见我放声喊起来，就把衣裳丢在我这里，跑到外边去了。”
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 went out.
16 妇人把约瑟的衣裳放在自己那里，等着他主人回家，
And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 就对他如此如此说：“你所带到我们这里的那希伯来仆人进来要戏弄我，
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
18 我放声喊起来，他就把衣裳丢在我这里，跑出去了。”
and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
19 约瑟的主人听见他妻子对他所说的话，说“你的仆人如此如此待我”，他就生气，
And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
20 把约瑟下在监里，就是王的囚犯被囚的地方。于是约瑟在那里坐监。
And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
21 但耶和华与约瑟同在，向他施恩，使他在司狱的眼前蒙恩。
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
22 司狱就把监里所有的囚犯都交在约瑟的手下；他们在那里所办的事都是经他的手。
And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
23 凡在约瑟手下的事，司狱一概不察，因为耶和华与约瑟同在；耶和华使他所做的尽都顺利。
The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
