1 Mosebog 39
1 Da Josef var bragt ned til Ægypten, blev han af Ismaeliterne, der havde bragt ham derned, solgt til Faraos Hofmand Potifar, Livvagtens Øverste, en Ægypter.
Ioseph was brought vnto Egipte ad Putiphar a lorde of Pharaos: ad his chefe marshall an Egiptian bought him of ye Ismaelites which brought hi thither
2 Men HERREN var med Josef, så Lykken fulgte ham. Han var i sin Herre Ægypterens Hus;
And the LORde was with Ioseph and he was a luckie felowe and continued in the house of his master the Egiptian.
3 og hans Herre så, at HERREN var med ham, og at HERREN lod alt, hvad han foretog sig, lykkes for ham.
And his master sawe that the ORde was with him and that the LORde made all that he dyd prosper in his hande:
4 Således fandt Josef Nåde for hans Øjne og kom til at gå ham til Hånde; og han satte ham over sit Hus og gav alt, hvad han ejede, i hans Hånd;
Wherfore he founde grace in his masters syghte and serued him. And his master made him ruelar of his house and put all that he had in his hande.
5 og fra det Øjeblik han satte ham over sit Hus og alt, hvad han ejede, velsignede HERREN Ægypterens Hus for Josefs Skyld, og HERRENs Velsignelse hvilede over alt, hvad han ejede, både inde og ude;
And as soone as he had made him ruelar ouer his house ad ouer all that he had the LORde blessed this Egiptians house for Iosephs sake and the blessynge of the LORde was vpon all that he had: both in the house and also in the feldes.
6 og han betroede alt, hvad han ejede, til Josef, og selv bekymrede han sig ikke om andet end den Mad, han spiste. Men Josef havde en smuk Skikkelse og så godt ud.
And therfore he left all that he had in Iosephs hande and loked vpon nothinge that was with him saue only on the bread which he ate. And Ioseph was a goodly persone and a well favored
7 Nu hændte det nogen Tid derefter, at hans Herres Hustru kastede sine Øjne på Josef og sagde: "Kom og lig hos mig!"
And it fortuned after this that his masters wife cast hir eyes vpon Ioseph and sayde come lye with me.
8 Men han vægrede sig og sagde til sin Herres Hustru: "Se, min Herre bekymrer sig ikke om noget i Huset, men alt, hvad han ejer, har han givet i min Hånd;
But he denyed and sayde to her: Beholde my master woteth not what he hath in the house with me but hath commytted all that he hath to my hande
9 han har ikke større Magt i Huset end jeg, og han har ikke unddraget mig noget som helst undtagen dig, fordi du er hans Hustru hvor skulde jeg da kunne øve denne store Misgerning og synde mod Gud!"
He him selfe is not greatter in the house than I ad hath kepte nothige fro me but only the because thou art his wife. How than cam I do this great wykydnes for to synne agaynst God?
10 Og skønt hun Dag efter Dag talte Josef til, vilde han dog ikke føje hende i at ligge hos hende og have med hende at gøre.
And after this maner spake she to Ioseph daye by daye: but he harkened not vnto her to slepe nere her or to be in her company.
11 Men en Dag han kom ind i Huset for at gøre sin Gerning, og ingen af Husfolkene var til Stede i Huset,
And it fortuned aboute the same season that Ioseph entred in to the house to do his busynes: and there was none of the houshold by in the house.
12 greb hun fat i hans Kappe og sagde: "Kom og lig hos mig!" Men han lod Kappen blive i hendes Hånd og flygtede ud af Huset.
And she caught him by the garment saynge: come slepe with me. And he left his garment in hir hande ad fled and gott him out
13 Da hun nu så, at han havde ladet hende beholde Kappen og var flygtet ud af Huset,
when she sawe that he had left his garmet in hir hande and was fled out
14 kaldte hun på sine Husfolk og sagde til dem: "Her kan I se! Han har bragt os en Hebræer til at drive Spot med os! Han kom ind til mig og vilde ligge hos mig, men jeg råbte af alle Kræfter,
she called vnto the men of the house and tolde them saynge: Se he hath brought in an Hebrewe vnto vs to do vs shame. for he came in to me for to haue slept myth me. But I cried with a lowde voyce.
15 og da han hørte, at jeg gav mig til at råbe, lod han sin Kappe blive hos mig og flygtede ud af Huset!"
And when he harde that I lyfte vp my voyce and cryed he left his garment with me and fled awaye and got him out.
16 Så lod hun Kappen blive liggende hos sig, indtil hans Herre kom hjem,
And she layed vp his garment by her vntill hir lorde came home.
17 og sagde så det samme til ham: "Den hebraiske Træl, du bragte os til at drive Spot med os, kom ind til mig;
And she told him acordynge to these wordes saynge. This Hebrues servaunte which thou hast brought vnto vs came in to me to do me shame.
18 men da jeg gav mig til at råbe, lod han sin Kappe blive hos mig og flygtede ud af Huset."
But as soone as I lyft vp my voyce and cryed he left his garment with me and fled out.
19 Da hans Herre hørte sin Hustrus Ord: "Således har din Træl behandlet mig!" blussede Vreden op i ham;
When his master herde the woordes of his wyfe which she tolde him saynge: after this maner dyd thy servaunte to me he waxed wrooth.
20 og Josefs Herre tog ham og kastede ham i Fængsel der, hvor Kongens Fanger sad fængslet. Således kom Josef i Fængsel.
And he toke Ioseph and put him in pryson: euen in the place where the kinges prisoners laye bounde. And there contynued he in preson.
21 Men HERREN var med Josef og skaffede ham Yndest og lod ham finde Nåde hos Fængselets Overopsynsmand,
But the LORde was with Ioseph ad shewed him mercie and gott him fauoure in the syghte of the keper of ye preson
22 så at han gav ham Opsyn over alle Fangerne i Fængselet, og han sørgede for alt, hvad der skulde gøres der.
which commytted to Iosephe hade all the presoners that were in the preson housse. And what soeuer was done there yt dyd he.
23 Fængselets Overopsynsmand førte ikke Tilsyn med noget som helst af, hvad der var lagt i Josefs Hånd, eftersom HERREN var med ham og lod alt, hvad han foretog sig, lykkes.
And the keper of the preso loked vnto nothinge that was vnder his hande because the LORde was with him and because that what soeuer he dyd the LORde made it come luckely to passe.
