1 Mojžišova 39
1 Jozef pak doveden byl do Egypta; a koupil ho Putifar, dvořenin Faraonův, nejvyšší nad drabanty, muž Egyptský, od Izmaelitských, kteříž ho tam dovedli.
Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2 Byl pak Hospodin s Jozefem, a všecko se mu šťastně vedlo, a bydlil v domě pána svého toho Egyptského.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3 A viděl pán jeho, že Hospodin byl s ním, a že všecko, což činil, Hospodin k prospěchu přivedl v rukou jeho.
When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
4 Tedy nalezl Jozef milost před očima jeho, a sloužil mu. I představil ho domu svému, a všecko, což měl, dal v ruku jeho.
Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.
5 A hned, jakž ustanovil ho nad domem svým, a nade vším, což měl, požehnal Hospodin domu Egyptského toho pro Jozefa. A bylo požehnání Hospodinovo na všech věcech, kteréž měl doma i na poli.
From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.
6 Všech tedy věcí, kteréž měl, zanechal v rukou Jozefových; aniž o čem, tak jako on, věděl, jediné o chlebě, kterýž jedl. Byl pak Jozef ušlechtilé postavy a krásného vzezření.
So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
7 I stalo se potom, že vzhlédala žena pána jeho očima svýma na Jozefa, a řekla: Spi se mnou.
and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
8 Kterýžto odpíraje, řekl ženě pána svého: Aj, pán můj neví tak jako já, co jest v domě, a všecko, což má, dal v ruce mé.
But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.
9 Není žádného přednějšího nade mne v domě tomto, aniž co vyňal z správy mé, kromě tebe, jelikož jsi ty manželka jeho. Jak bych tedy učinil takovou nešlechetnost, a hřešil i proti Bohu?
No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”
10 A když mluvila ona Jozefovi den po dni, nepovolil jí, aby spal s ní, ani aby býval s ní.
Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
11 Tedy dne jednoho, když přišel do domu k práci své, a nebylo tu žádného z domácích v domě,
One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
12 Chytila jej ona za roucho jeho, řkuci: Lež se mnou. On pak nechav roucha svého v rukou jejích, utekl, a vyšel ven.
She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
13 A ona viduci, že nechal roucha svého v rukou jejích a vyběhl ven,
When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14 Svolala domácí své, a řekla k nim takto: Pohleďte, přivedl nám muže Hebrejského, kterýž by měl posměch z nás; nebo přišel ke mně, aby ležel se mnou; i křičela jsem hlasem velikým.
she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.
15 A když uslyšel, že jsem hlasu svého pozdvihla a křičela, nechav roucha svého u mne, utekl a vyšel ven.
When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 Tedy schovala roucho jeho u sebe, až přišel pán jeho do domu svého.
So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
17 K němuž mluvila v tato slova, řkuci: Přišel ke mně služebník ten Hebrejský, kteréhožs přivedl nám, aby mi lehkost učinil.
Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
18 A když jsem hlasu svého pozdvihla a křičela, tedy nechal roucha svého u mne, a utekl ven.
but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19 I stalo se, že, když uslyšel pán jeho slova ženy své, kteráž mluvila mu, pravěci: Tak mi učinil služebník tvůj, rozhněval se velmi.
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
20 Protož vzal ho pán jeho, a dal jej do věže žalářné, v to místo, kdež vězňové královští seděli; i byl tam v žaláři.
So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,
21 Byl pak Hospodin s Jozefem, a naklonil se k němu milosrdenstvím; a dal jemu milost u vládaře nad žalářem.
the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
22 I dal vládař žaláře v moc Jozefovi všecky vězně, kteříž byli v věži žalářné; a cožkoli tam činiti měli, on to spravoval.
And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
23 Aniž vládař žaláře k čemu dohlídal, což jemu svěřil; proto že Hospodin byl s ním, a což on činil, Hospodin tomu prospěch dával.
The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
