Genesis 39
1 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.
ヨセフ挈へられてエジプトにくだりしがエジプト人ポテパル、パロの臣侍衞の長なる者彼を其處にたづさへくだれるイシマエル人の手よりこれを買ふ
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
ヱホバ、ヨセフとともに在す彼享通者となりてその主人なるエジプト人の家にをる
3 When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
その主人ヱホバの彼とともにいますを見またヱホバがかれの手の凡てなすところを享通しめたまふを見たり
4 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.
是によりてヨセフ彼の心にかなひて其近侍となる彼ヨセフにその家を宰どらしめその所有を盡くその手に委たり
5 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.
彼ヨセフにその家とその有る凡の物をつかさどらせし時よりしてヱホバ、ヨセフのために其エジプト人の家を祝みたまふ即ちヱホバの祝福かれが家と田に有る凡の物におよぶ
6 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,
彼その有る物をことごとくヨセフの手にゆだねその食ふパンの外は何もかへりみざりき夫ヨセフは容貌麗しくして顏美しかりき
7 and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
これらの事の後その主人の妻ヨセフに目をつけて我と寢よといふ
8 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.
ヨセフ拒みて主人の妻にいひけるは視よわが主人の家の中の物をかへりみずその有るものことごとくわが手に委ぬ
9 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?”
この家には我より大なるものなし又主人何をも我に禁ぜず只汝を除くのみ汝はその妻なればなり然ば我いかで此おほいなる惡をなして神に罪ををかすをえんや
10 Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
彼日々にヨセフに言よりたれどもヨセフきかずして之といねず亦與にをらざりき
11 One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
當時ヨセフその職をなさんとて家にいりしが家の人一箇もその内にをらざりき
12 She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
時に彼婦その衣を執て我といねよといひければヨセフ衣を彼の手に棄おきて外に遁いでたり
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
彼ヨセフがその衣を己の手に棄おきて遁いでしを見て
14 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.
その家の人々を呼てこれにいふ視よヘブル人を我等の所につれ來りて我等にたはむれしむ彼我といねんとて我の所にいり來りしかば我大聲によばはれり
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
彼わが聲をあげて呼はるを聞しかばその衣をわが許にすておきて外に遁いでたりと
16 So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
其衣を傍に置て主人の家に歸るを待つ
17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
かくて彼是言のごとく主人につげていふ汝が我らに携へきたりしヘブルの僕われにたはむれんとて我許にいりきたりしが
18 but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
我聲をあげてよばはりしかばその衣を我許にすておきて遁いでたり
19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
主人その妻が己につげて汝の僕斯のごとく我になせりといふ言を聞て怒を發せり
20 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,
是に於てヨセフの主人彼を執へて獄にいる其獄は王の囚徒を繋ぐ所なりヨセフ彼處にて獄にをりしが
21 the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
ヱホバ、ヨセフとともに在して之に仁慈を加へ典獄の恩顧をこれにえさせたまひければ
22 And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
典獄獄にある囚人をことごとくヨセフの手に付せたり其處になす所の事は皆ヨセフこれをなすなり
23 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.
典獄そのまかせたる所の事は何をもかへりみざりき其はヱホバ、ヨセフとともにいませばなりヱホバかれのなすところをさかえしめたまふ
