Postanak 39
1 Josipa dovedoše u Egipat. Tu ga od Jišmaelaca koji su ga onamo doveli kupi Egipćanin Potifar, dvoranin faraonov i zapovjednik njegove tjelesne straže.
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 Jahve je bio s Josipom, zato je u svemu imao sreću: Egipćanin ga uzme k sebi u kuću.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Vidje njegov gospodar da je Jahve s njim i da svemu što mu ruka poduzme Jahve daje uspjeh;
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 zavolje on Josipa, uze ga za dvoranina i postavi ga za upravitelja svoga doma i povjeri mu sav svoj imetak.
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 I otkad mu je povjerio upravu svoga doma i svega svog imetka, blagoslovi Jahve dom Egipćaninov zbog Josipa: blagoslov Jahvin bijaše na svemu što je imao - u kući i u polju.
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 I tako sve svoje prepusti brizi Josipovoj te se više ni za što nije brinuo, osim za jelo što je jeo. A Josip je bio mladić stasit i naočit.
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 Poslije nekog vremena žena njegova gospodara zagleda se u Josipa i reče mu: “Legni sa mnom!”
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
8 On se oprije i reče ženi svoga gospodara: “Gledaj! Otkako sam ja ovdje, moj se gospodar ne brine ni za što u kući; sve što ima meni je povjerio.
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 On u ovoj kući nema više vlasti negoli ja i ništa mi ne krati, osim tebe, jer si njegova žena. Pa kako bih ja mogao učiniti tako veliku opačinu i sagriješiti protiv Boga!”
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 Iako je Josipa salijetala iz dana u dan, on nije pristajao da uz nju legne; nije joj prilazio.
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 Jednog dana Josip uđe u kuću na posao. Kako nikog od služinčadi nije bilo u kući,
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 ona ga uhvati za ogrtač i reče: “Legni sa mnom!” Ali on ostavi svoj ogrtač u njezinoj ruci, otrže se i pobježe van.
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 Vidjevši ona da je u njezinoj ruci ostavio ogrtač i pobjegao van,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
14 zovne svoje sluge te im reče: “Gledajte! Trebalo je da nam dovede jednog Hebrejca da se s nama poigrava. Taj k meni dođe da sa mnom legne, ali sam ja na sav glas zaviknula.
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 A čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van.”
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 Uza se je držala njegov ogrtač dok mu je gospodar došao kući.
And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 Onda i njemu kaza istu priču: “Onaj sluga Hebrejac koga si nam doveo dođe k meni da sa mnom ljubaka!
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 Ali čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van.”
and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
19 Kad je njegov gospodar čuo pripovijest svoje žene koja reče: “Eto, tako sa mnom tvoj sluga”, razgnjevi se.
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 Gospodar pograbi Josipa i baci ga u tamnicu - tamo gdje su bili zatvoreni kraljevi utamničenici. I osta u tamnici.
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 Ali je Jahve bio s njim, iskaza naklonost Josipu te on nađe milost u očima upravitelja tamnice.
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 Tako upravitelj tamnice preda u Josipove ruke sve utamničenike koji su se nalazili u tamnici; i ondje se ništa nije radilo bez njega.
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 Budući da je Jahve bio s njim, upravitelj tamnice nije nadgledao ništa što je Josipu bilo povjereno: Jahve bijaše s njim, i što god bi poduzeo, Jahve bi to okrunio uspjehom.
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.
