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 Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.
2 Jahve je bio s Josipom, zato je u svemu imao sreću: Egipćanin ga uzme k sebi u kuću.
And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
3 Vidje njegov gospodar da je Jahve s njim i da svemu što mu ruka poduzme Jahve daje uspjeh;
And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
4 zavolje on Josipa, uze ga za dvoranina i postavi ga za upravitelja svoga doma i povjeri mu sav svoj imetak.
And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
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 after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his 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 committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in 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 upon 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 would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
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!”
and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
10 Iako je Josipa salijetala iz dana u dan, on nije pristajao da uz nju legne; nije joj prilazio.
And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
11 Jednog dana Josip uđe u kuću na posao. Kako nikog od služinčadi nije bilo u kući,
it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
12 ona ga uhvati za ogrtač i reče: “Legni sa mnom!” Ali on ostavi svoj ogrtač u njezinoj ruci, otrže se i pobježe van.
And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
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 clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone 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 those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, 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 when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
16 Uza se je držala njegov ogrtač dok mu je gospodar došao kući.
So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
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 servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
18 Ali čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van.”
And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed 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 master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
20 Gospodar pograbi Josipa i baci ga u tamnicu - tamo gdje su bili zatvoreni kraljevi utamničenici. I osta u tamnici.
And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
21 Ali je Jahve bio s njim, iskaza naklonost Josipu te on nađe milost u očima upravitelja tamnice.
And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favor in the sight of the chief keeper 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 chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.
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.
Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
