Genesis 39
1 Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
A Josifa odvedoše u Misir; i Petefrije dvoranin Faraonov, zapovjednik stražarski, èovjek Misirac, kupi ga od Ismailjaca, koji ga odvedoše onamo.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.
I Gospod bješe s Josifom, te bi sreæan, i življaše u kuæi gospodara svojega Misirca.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.
I gospodar njegov vidje da je Gospod s njim i da sve što radi Gospod vodi u napredak u ruci njegovoj.
4 And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.
I Josif steèe milost u njega, i dvoraše ga; a najposlije postavi ga nad cijelijem domom svojim, i što god imaše njemu dade u ruke.
5 And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.
A kad ga postavi nad domom svojim i nad svijem što imaše, od tada Gospod blagoslovi dom toga Misirca radi Josifa; i blagoslov Gospodnji bješe na svemu što imaše u kuæi i u polju.
6 And he gave Joseph control of all his property, keeping no account of anything, but only the food which was put before him. Now Joseph was very beautiful in form and face.
I ostavi u Josifovijem rukama sve što imaše, i ne razbiraše ni za što osim jela koje jeðaše. A Josif bijaše lijepa stasa i lijepa lica.
7 And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.
I dogodi se poslije, te se žena gospodara njegova zagleda u Josifa, i reèe: lezi sa mnom.
8 But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;
A on ne htje, nego reèe ženi gospodara svojega: eto gospodar moj ne razbira ni za što što je u kuæi, nego što god ima dade meni u ruke.
9 So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?
Ni sam nije veæi od mene u ovoj kuæi, i ništa ne krije od mene osim tebe, jer si mu žena; pa kako bih uèinio tako grdno zlo i Bogu zgriješio?
10 And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.
I ona govoraše take rijeèi Josifu svaki dan, ali je ne posluša da legne s njom ni da se bavi kod nje.
11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.
A jedan dan kad doðe Josif u kuæu da radi svoj posao, a ne bješe nikoga od domašnjih u kuæi,
12 And pulling at his coat, she said, Come to my bed; but slipping out of his coat, he went running away.
Ona ga uhvati za haljinu govoreæi: lezi sa mnom. Ali on ostaviv joj u rukama haljinu svoju pobježe i otide.
13 And when she saw that he had got away, letting her keep his coat,
A kad ona vidje gdje joj ostavi u rukama haljinu svoju i pobježe,
14 She sent for the men of her house and said to them, See, he has let a Hebrew come here and make sport of us; he came to my bed, and I gave a loud cry;
Viknu èeljad svoju, i reèe im govoreæi: gledajte, doveo nam je èovjeka Jevrejina da nas sramoti; doðe k meni da legne sa mnom, a ja povikah iza glasa;
15 And hearing it he went running out without his coat.
A on kad èu gdje vièem, ostavi haljinu svoju kod mene i pobježe i otide.
16 And she kept his coat by her, till his master came back.
I ona ostavi haljinu njegovu kod sebe dok mu gospodar doðe kuæi.
17 Then she gave him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you have taken into our house came in to make sport of me;
A tada mu reèe ovako govoreæi: sluga Jevrejin, kojega si nam doveo, doðe k meni da me osramoti;
18 And when I gave a loud cry he went running out without his coat.
A ja povikah iza glasa, te on ostaviv haljinu svoju kod mene pobježe.
19 And hearing his wife's account of what his servant had done, he became very angry.
A kad gospodar njegov èu rijeèi žene svoje gdje mu reèe: to mi je uèinio sluga tvoj, razgnjevi se vrlo.
20 And Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept in chains, and he was there in the prison-house.
I gospodar Josifov uhvati ga, i baci ga u tamnicu, gdje ležahu sužnji carski; i bi ondje u tamnici.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and was good to him, and made the keeper of the prison his friend.
Ali Gospod bješe s Josifom i raširi milost svoju nad njim i uèini te omilje tamnièaru.
22 And the keeper of the prison put all the prisoners under Joseph's control, and he was responsible for whatever was done there.
I povjeri tamnièar Josifu sve sužnje u tamnici, i što je god trebalo ondje èiniti on ureðivaše.
23 And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.
I tamnièar ne nadgledaše ništa što bješe u Josifovoj ruci, jer Gospod bješe s njim; i što god èinjaše, Gospod voðaše u napredak.
