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, the descendants of Ishmael took Joseph down to Egypt. There Potiphar bought Joseph from them. Potiphar was an Egyptian who was one of the king’s officials and the captain of the king’s (palace guards/guards who protected the king).
2 Byl pak Hospodin s Jozefem, a všecko se mu šťastně vedlo, a bydlil v domě pána svého toho Egyptského.
Because Yahweh helped Joseph, he was able to do his work very well, and lived in the house 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.
His master saw that Yahweh was helping Joseph and enabling him to be successful in everything that 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’s master was pleased with him, so he appointed him to be his personal servant. Then he appointed him to be the one who would take care of everything in his household and all of his possessions.
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 Potiphar appointed Joseph to take care of everything in his household and all that he owned, Yahweh blessed the people who lived in Potiphar’s house because of Joseph. He also caused Potiphar’s crops to grow well.
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.
Potiphar allowed Joseph to take care of everything that he owned. Potiphar needed to decide only about the food he ate. He was not concerned about anything else in his house. Joseph was well-built/muscular and handsome.
7 I stalo se potom, že vzhlédala žena pána jeho očima svýma na Jozefa, a řekla: Spi se mnou.
Because of that, after a while, his master’s wife started to look fondly at Joseph. So one day she said to him, “Have sex [EUP] 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, saying to his master’s wife, “Listen! My master is not concerned about anything in this house. He has appointed me to take care of everything that he owns.
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 household has more authority than I do. The only thing that he has not allowed me to have is you, because you are his wife! So (how could I do this wicked thing [that you are asking me to do]?/I certainly could not do this wicked thing!) [RHQ] I would be sinning against God if I did that!”
10 A když mluvila ona Jozefovi den po dni, nepovolil jí, aby spal s ní, ani aby býval s ní.
She kept on asking Joseph day after day to have sex [EUP] with her, but he refused. He would not even go near her.
11 Tedy dne jednoho, když přišel do domu k práci své, a nebylo tu žádného z domácích v domě,
One day Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the other household servants were in the house.
12 Chytila jej ona za roucho jeho, řkuci: Lež se mnou. On pak nechav roucha svého v rukou jejích, utekl, a vyšel ven.
Potiphar’s wife grabbed his cloak and said, “Have sex [EUP] with me!” Joseph ran out of the house, but his cloak was still in her hand!
13 A ona viduci, že nechal roucha svého v rukou jejích a vyběhl ven,
When she saw that he had run outside leaving his cloak in her hand,
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 the household servants. She said to them, “Look! This Hebrew man that my husband brought to us is (insulting/trying to do something disgraceful to) us! He came into my room and tried to (rape me/make me have sex [EUP] with him), but I screamed loudly.
15 A když uslyšel, že jsem hlasu svého pozdvihla a křičela, nechav roucha svého u mne, utekl a vyšel ven.
As soon as he heard me scream loudly, he left his loincloth with me and ran outside!”
16 Tedy schovala roucho jeho u sebe, až přišel pán jeho do domu svého.
She kept the loincloth beside her until her husband, Joseph’s 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 this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me!
18 A když jsem hlasu svého pozdvihla a křičela, tedy nechal roucha svého u mne, a utekl ven.
As soon as I screamed loudly, he ran outside, leaving me holding his loincloth!”
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 Joseph’s master heard this story that his wife told him, saying “This is how your slave treated me,” he was very angry.
20 Protož vzal ho pán jeho, a dal jej do věže žalářné, v to místo, kdež vězňové královští seděli; i byl tam v žaláři.
Joseph’s master took Joseph and put him in prison, the place where all the king’s prisoners were put, and Joseph stayed there.
21 Byl pak Hospodin s Jozefem, a naklonil se k němu milosrdenstvím; a dal jemu milost u vládaře nad žalářem.
But Yahweh was kind to Joseph and helped him, and caused the (prison warden/man who was in charge of the prison) to be pleased with him.
22 I dal vládař žaláře v moc Jozefovi všecky vězně, kteříž byli v věži žalářné; a cožkoli tam činiti měli, on to spravoval.
So the prison warden put Joseph in charge of all those who were in the prison, and in charge of all the work 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 warden was not concerned with anything that Joseph was taking care of, because Yahweh helped Joseph to do well everything that he did.
