Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
igitur Ioseph ductus est in Aegyptum emitque eum Putiphar eunuchus Pharaonis princeps exercitus vir aegyptius de manu Ismahelitarum a quibus perductus erat
2 And Jehovah was with Joseph. And he was a man who succeeds. And he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
fuitque Dominus cum eo et erat vir in cunctis prospere agens habitabatque in domo domini sui
3 And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
qui optime noverat esse Dominum cum eo et omnia quae gereret ab eo dirigi in manu illius
4 And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered to him. And he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
invenitque Ioseph gratiam coram domino suo et ministrabat ei a quo praepositus omnibus gubernabat creditam sibi domum et universa quae tradita fuerant
5 And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake. And the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
benedixitque Dominus domui Aegyptii propter Ioseph et multiplicavit tam in aedibus quam in agris cunctam eius substantiam
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he knew nothing that was with him, save the bread which he ate. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored.
nec quicquam aliud noverat nisi panem quo vescebatur erat autem Ioseph pulchra facie et decorus aspectu
7 And it came to pass, after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.
post multos itaque dies iecit domina oculos suos in Ioseph et ait dormi mecum
8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
qui nequaquam adquiescens operi nefario dixit ad eam ecce dominus meus omnibus mihi traditis ignorat quid habeat in domo sua
9 He is not greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
nec quicquam est quod non in mea sit potestate vel non tradiderit mihi praeter te quae uxor eius es quomodo ergo possum malum hoc facere et peccare in Deum meum
10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not hearken to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
huiuscemodi verbis per singulos dies et mulier molesta erat adulescenti et ille recusabat stuprum
11 And it came to pass, about this time, that he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there inside.
accidit autem ut quadam die intraret Ioseph domum et operis quippiam absque arbitris faceret
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me. And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got out.
et illa adprehensa lacinia vestimenti eius diceret dormi mecum qui relicto in manu illius pallio fugit et egressus est foras
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
cumque vidisset mulier vestem in manibus suis et se esse contemptam
14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
vocavit homines domus suae et ait ad eos en introduxit virum hebraeum ut inluderet nobis ingressus est ad me ut coiret mecum cumque ego succlamassem
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got out.
et audisset vocem meam reliquit pallium quod tenebam et fugit foras
16 And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home.
in argumentum ergo fidei retentum pallium ostendit marito revertenti domum
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou have brought to us, came in to me to mock me.
et ait ingressus est ad me servus hebraeus quem adduxisti ut inluderet mihi
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.
cumque vidisset me clamare reliquit pallium et fugit foras
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me, that his wrath was kindled.
his auditis dominus et nimium credulus verbis coniugis iratus est valde
20 And 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 the prison.
tradiditque Ioseph in carcerem ubi vincti regis custodiebantur et erat ibi clausus
21 But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
fuit autem Dominus cum Ioseph et misertus illius dedit ei gratiam in conspectu principis carceris
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. And whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.
qui tradidit in manu ipsius universos vinctos qui in custodia tenebantur et quicquid fiebat sub ipso erat
23 The keeper of the prison did not look to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him, and that which he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
nec noverat aliquid cunctis ei creditis Dominus enim erat cum illo et omnia eius opera dirigebat
