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.

Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down 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. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.

3 A viděl pán jeho, že Hospodin byl s ním, a že všecko, což činil, Hospodin k prospěchu přivedl v rukou jeho.

And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.

4 Tedy nalezl Jozef milost před očima jeho, a sloužil mu. I představil ho domu svému, a všecko, což měl, dal v ruku jeho.

So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.

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.

And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in the house and in the 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 he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

7 I stalo se potom, že vzhlédala žena pána jeho očima svýma na Jozefa, a řekla: Spi se mnou.

And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she 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, and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into 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?

There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can 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.

And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her.

11 Tedy dne jednoho, když přišel do domu k práci své, a nebylo tu žádného z domácích v domě,

Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house 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 him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand 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 garment in her hand and had run outside,

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 to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

15 A když uslyšel, že jsem hlasu svého pozdvihla a křičela, nechav roucha svého u mne, utekl a vyšel ven.

It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."

16 Tedy schovala roucho jeho u sebe, až přišel pán jeho do domu svého.

She left his garment by 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.

And she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'

18 A když jsem hlasu svého pozdvihla a křičela, tedy nechal roucha svého u mne, a utekl ven.

But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."

19 I stalo se, že, když uslyšel pán jeho slova ženy své, kteráž mluvila mu, pravěci: Tak mi učinil služebník tvůj, rozhněval se velmi.

And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.

20 Protož vzal ho pán jeho, a dal jej do věže žalářné, v to místo, kdež vězňové královští seděli; i byl tam v žaláři.

Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound, and he was there in prison.

21 Byl pak Hospodin s Jozefem, a naklonil se k němu milosrdenstvím; a dal jemu milost u vládaře nad žalářem.

But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

22 I dal vládař žaláře v moc Jozefovi všecky vězně, kteříž byli v věži žalářné; a cožkoli tam činiti měli, on to spravoval.

The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.

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 keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
