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。
Therfor Joseph was led in to Egipt, and Putifar, `chast and onest seruaunt of Farao, prince of the oost, a man of Egipt, bouyte hym of the hondis of Ismaelitis, of which he was brouyt.
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 the Lord was with hym, and he was a man doynge with prosperite in alle thingis. And Joseph dwellide in `the hows of his lord,
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，
which knew best that the Lord was with Joseph, and that alle thingis whiche he dide, weren dressid of the Lord in `the hond of hym.
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 foond grace bifor his lord, and `mynystride to hym, of whom Joseph was maad souereyn of alle thingis, and gouernede the hows bitaken to hym, and alle thingis that weren bitakun to hym.
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 the Lord blesside the `hows of Egipcian for Joseph, and multipliede al his catel, as wel in howsis as in feeldis;
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。
nether he knew ony other thing no but `breed which he eet. Forsothe Joseph was fair in face, and schapli in siyt.
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 so aftir many daies the ladi castide hir iyen in to Joseph, and seide, Slepe thou 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。
which assentide not to the vnleueful werk, and seide to hir, Lo! while alle thingis ben bitakun to me, my lord woot not what he hath in his hows,
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？”
nether ony thing is, which is not in my power, ether which `he hath not bitake to me, outakun thee, which art his wijf; how therfor may Y do this yuel, and do synne ayens my lord?
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。
Thei spaken siche wordis `bi alle daies, and the womman was diseseful to the yong waxynge man, and he forsook auoutrie.
11 有一天，约瑟进屋里去办事，家中人没有一个在那屋里，
Forsothe it bifelde in a dai, that Joseph entride in to the hows, and dide sum werk with out witnessis.
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。
And sche took `the hem of his clooth, and sche seide, Slepe thou with me; and he lefte the mentil in hir hoond, and he fledde, and yede out.
13 妇人看见约瑟把衣裳丢在她手里跑出去了，
And whanne the womman hadde seyn the clooth in hir hondis, and that sche was dispisid,
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。
sche clepide to hir the men of hir hows, and seide to hem, Lo! my lord hath brouyt in an Ebrew man, that he schulde scorn vs; he entride to me to do leccherie with me, and whanne Y criede, and he herde my vois,
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。”
he lefte the mentil which Y helde, and he fledde out.
16 妇人把约瑟的衣裳放在自己那里，等着他主人回家，
Therfor in to the preuyng of trouthe, sche schewide the mantil, holdun to the hosebonde turnynge ayen hoom.
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 seide, The Ebrew seruaunt, whom thou brouytist, entride to me to scorne me; and whanne he siy me crye,
18 我放声喊起来，他就把衣裳丢在我这里，跑出去了。”
he lefte the mentil which Y helde, and he fledde out.
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 whanne these thingis weren herd, the lord bileuyde ouer myche to the wordis of the wijf, and was ful wrooth;
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 he bitook Joseph in to prisoun, where the bounden men of the kyng weren kept, and he was closid there.
21 但耶和华与约瑟同在，向他施恩，使他在司狱的眼前蒙恩。
Forsothe the Lord was with Joseph, and hadde mercy on hym, and yaf grace to hym in the siyt of the prince of the prisoun,
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。
which bitook in the hond of Joseph alle prisoneris that weren holdun in kepyng, and what euer thing was doon, it was vndur Joseph, nethir the prince knewe ony thing,
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。
for alle thingis weren bitakun to Joseph; for the Lord was with hym, and dresside alle his werkis.
