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.
Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither.
2 Jahve je bio s Josipom, zato je u svemu imao sreću: Egipćanin ga uzme k sebi u kuću.
And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and 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 sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.
4 zavolje on Josipa, uze ga za dvoranina i postavi ga za upravitelja svoga doma i povjeri mu sav svoj imetak.
So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in 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 from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde.
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.
Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured.
7 Poslije nekog vremena žena njegova gospodara zagleda se u Josipa i reče mu: “Legni sa mnom!”
Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye 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 masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande.
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 no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne against God?
10 Iako je Josipa salijetala iz dana u dan, on nije pristajao da uz nju legne; nije joj prilazio.
And albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.
11 Jednog dana Josip uđe u kuću na posao. Kako nikog od služinčadi nije bilo u kući,
Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold 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.
Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out.
13 Vidjevši ona da je u njezinoj ruci ostavio ogrtač i pobjegao van,
Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,
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.
She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce.
15 A čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van.”
And when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.
16 Uza se je držala njegov ogrtač dok mu je gospodar došao kući.
So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.
17 Onda i njemu kaza istu priču: “Onaj sluga Hebrejac koga si nam doveo dođe k meni da sa mnom ljubaka!
Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me.
18 Ali čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van.”
But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19 Kad je njegov gospodar čuo pripovijest svoje žene koja reče: “Eto, tako sa mnom tvoj sluga”, razgnjevi se.
Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled.
20 Gospodar pograbi Josipa i baci ga u tamnicu - tamo gdje su bili zatvoreni kraljevi utamničenici. I osta u tamnici.
And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.
21 Ali je Jahve bio s njim, iskaza naklonost Josipu te on nađe milost u očima upravitelja tamnice.
But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.
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 keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.
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.
And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
