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.
Un Jāzeps tapa novests uz Ēģipti, un Potifars, Faraona kambarjunkurs un sargu virsnieks, viens ēģiptiešu vīrs, to nopirka no to Ismaēliešu rokas, kas to uz turieni bija noveduši.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
Un Tas Kungs bija ar Jāzepu, tā ka tam viss laimīgi izdevās, un tas bija sava kunga, tā ēģiptieša, namā.
3 When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
Un viņa kungs redzēja, ka Tas Kungs bija ar viņu, un ka Tas Kungs visiem darbiem labi lika izdoties caur viņa roku.
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.
Tad Jāzeps atrada žēlastību viņa priekšā un viņam kalpoja, un viņš to iecēla pār savu namu, un deva viņa rokā visu, kas tam piederēja.
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.
Un no tā laika, kad viņš to bija cēlis pār savu namu un pār visu, kas viņam piederēja, Tas Kungs svētīja tā ēģiptieša namu Jāzepa labad, un Tā Kunga svētība bija visās lietās, kas viņam piederēja, sētā un laukā.
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,
Un visu, kas tam piederēja, viņš nodeva Jāzepa rokās, un negādāja pats par neko, kā vien par to maizi, ko ēda. Un Jāzeps bija skaists no auguma un skaists no ģīmja.
7 and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
Un notikās pēc šīm lietām, ka viņa kunga sieva savas acis uzmeta uz Jāzepu un sacīja: guli pie manis.
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.
Bet viņš liedzās un sacīja uz sava kunga sievu: redzi, mans kungs negādā par neko, kas ir namā, un visu, kas viņam pieder, viņš ir devis manā rokā.
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?”
Neviens šinī namā nav lielāks pār mani, un viņš man neko nav aizliedzis, bez vien tevi, tāpēc ka tu esi viņa sieva; kā tad lai es tādu lielu ļaunumu daru un pret Dievu grēkoju?
10 Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
Un kad viņa ikdienas to uz Jāzepu runāja, un tas viņai nepaklausīja, ka pie viņas būtu gulējis un ap viņu bijis,
11 One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
Tad notikās kādā dienā Jāzepam namā nākot savu darbu padarīt, un no nama ļaudīm nevienam mājās neesot,
12 She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
Ka tā viņu sagrāba pie drēbēm un sacīja: guli pie manis. Bet tas pameta savas drēbes viņas rokā un izbēga un izgāja ārā.
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
Kad nu tā redzēja, ka tas savas drēbes viņas rokā bija pametis un izbēdzis ārā,
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.
Tad tā sasauca savu saimi un runāja uz tiem un sacīja: raugāt, viņš to Ebreju vīru pie mums ir atvedis mūs apsmiet; tas nāca pie manis gulēt un es brēcu visā galvā(skaļā balsī).
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
Un kad tas dzirdēja, ka es savu balsi pacēlu un brēcu, tad tas pameta savas drēbes pie manis un aizbēga un izmuka ārā.
16 So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
Un tā lika viņa drēbes sev līdzās, kamēr viņas kungs pārnāca mājā; tad tā uz viņu runāja pēc šiem vārdiem
17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
Un sacīja: tas Ebreju kalps, ko tu mums esi atvedis, nāca pie manis, mani apsmiet.
18 but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
Un kad es savu balsi pacēlu un brēcu, tad tas pameta savas drēbes pie manis un izbēga ārā.
19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
Un kad viņa kungs dzirdēja savas sievas vārdus, kā tā uz viņu bija runājusi sacīdama: tā un tā man tavs kalps darījis, tad viņa kungs apskaitās ļoti.
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,
Un Jāzepa kungs to ņēma un to ielika cietuma namā, tanī vietā, kur ķēniņa cietuma ļaudis tapa apsargāti; un viņš bija tur cietuma namā.
21 the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
Bet Tas Kungs bija ar Jāzepu, un tam parādīja apžēlošanu un tam lika atrast žēlastību cietuma sarga priekšā.
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.
Un cietuma sargs deva Jāzepa rokā visus cietuma ļaudis, kas cietuma namā bija, un viss, kas tur bija jādara, to viņš darīja.
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.
Cietuma sargs neraudzīja ne uz vienu lietu, kas bija viņa rokā, jo Tas Kungs bija ar viņu, un ko vien viņš darīja, tam Tas Kungs lika labi izdoties.
