< Genesis 39 >
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.
Ο δε Ιωσήφ κατεβιβάσθη εις την Αίγυπτον· και ο Πετεφρής ο αυλικός του Φαραώ, ο άρχων των σωματοφυλάκων, άνθρωπος Αιγύπτιος, ηγόρασεν αυτόν εκ των χειρών των Ισμαηλιτών, οίτινες κατεβίβασαν αυτόν εκεί.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
Και ήτο ο Κύριος μετά του Ιωσήφ, και ήτο άνθρωπος ευοδούμενος· και ευρίσκετο εν τω οίκω του κυρίου αυτού Αιγυπτίου.
3 And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
Και είδεν ο κύριος αυτού, ότι ο Κύριος ήτο μετ' αυτού, και ευώδωνεν ο Κύριος εις τας χείρας αυτού πάντα όσα έκαμνε.
4 And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
Και εύρηκεν ο Ιωσήφ χάριν έμπροσθεν αυτού και υπηρέτει αυτόν· και κατέστησεν αυτόν επιστάτην επί του οίκου αυτού· και πάντα όσα είχε, παρέδωκεν εις τας χείρας αυτού.
5 And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.
Και εξ εκείνου του καιρού, αφού κατέστησεν αυτόν επιστάτην επί του οίκου αυτού και επί πάντων όσα είχεν, ευλόγησεν ο Κύριος τον οίκον του Αιγυπτίου εξ αιτίας του Ιωσήφ· και ήτο η ευλογία του Κυρίου επί πάντα όσα είχεν, εν τω οίκω και εν τοις αγροίς.
6 And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
Και παρέδωκε πάντα όσα είχεν εις τας χείρας του Ιωσήφ· και δεν ήξευρεν εκ των υπαρχόντων αυτού ουδέν, πλην του άρτου τον οποίον έτρωγεν. Ήτο δε ο Ιωσήφ ευειδής και ώραίος την όψιν.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
Και μετά τα πράγματα ταύτα, η γυνή του κυρίου αυτού έρριψε τους οφθαλμούς αυτής επί τον Ιωσήφ· και είπε, Κοιμήθητι μετ' εμού.
8 But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
Αλλ' εκείνος δεν ήθελε, και είπε προς την γυναίκα του κυρίου αυτού, Ιδού· ο κύριός μου δεν γνωρίζει ουδέν εκ των όσα είναι μετ' εμού εν τω οίκω· και πάντα όσα έχει, παρέδωκεν εις τας χείρας μου·
9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
δεν είναι εν τω οίκω τούτω ουδείς μεγαλήτερός μου, ούτε είναι απηγορευμένον εις εμέ άλλο τι πλην σου, διότι είσαι η γυνή αυτού· και πως να πράξω τούτο το μέγα κακόν, και να αμαρτήσω εναντίον του Θεού;
10 And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
Αν και ελάλει προς τον Ιωσήφ καθ' εκάστην ημέραν, ούτος όμως δεν υπήκουσεν εις αυτήν να κοιμηθή μετ' αυτής, διά να συνευρεθή μετ' αυτής.
11 it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
Και ημέραν τινά εισήλθεν ο Ιωσήφ εις την οικίαν διά να κάμη τα έργα αυτού, και ουδείς εκ των ανθρώπων του οίκου ήτο εκεί εν τω οίκω.
12 And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
Και εκείνη ήρπασεν αυτόν από του ιματίου αυτού, λέγουσα, Κοιμήθητι μετ' εμού· αλλ' εκείνος αφήσας το ιμάτιον αυτού εις τας χείρας αυτής, έφυγε, και εξήλθεν έξω.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
Και ως είδεν ότι αφήκε το ιμάτιον αυτού εις τας χείρας αυτής και έφυγεν έξω,
14 that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
εβόησε προς τους ανθρώπους της οικίας αυτής και ελάλησε προς αυτούς, λέγουσα, Ίδετε, έφερεν εις ημάς άνθρωπον Εβραίον διά να μας εμπαίξη· εισήλθε προς εμέ διά να κοιμηθή μετ' εμού και εγώ εβόησα μετά φωνής μεγάλης·
15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
και ως ήκουσεν ότι ύψωσα την φωνήν μου και εβόησα, αφήσας το ιμάτιον αυτού παρ' εμοί έφυγε και εξήλθεν έξω.
16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
Και απέθεσε το ιμάτιον αυτού παρ' αυτή, εωσού ήλθεν ο κύριος αυτού εις τον οίκον αυτού.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
Και είπε προς αυτόν κατά τους λόγους τούτους, λέγουσα, Ο δούλος ο Εβραίος, τον οποίον έφερες εις ημάς, εισήλθε προς εμέ διά να με εμπαίξη,
18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
και ως ύψωσα την φωνήν μου και εβόησα, αφήσας το ιμάτιον αυτού παρ' εμοί, έφυγεν έξω.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
Και ως ήκουσεν ο κύριος αυτού τους λόγους της γυναικός αυτού, τους οποίους ελάλησε προς αυτόν, λέγουσα, Ούτω μοι έκαμεν ο δούλός σου, εξήφθη η οργή αυτού.
20 And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
Και λαβών ο κύριος του Ιωσήφ αυτόν, έβαλεν αυτόν εις την οχυράν φυλακήν, εις τον τόπον όπου οι δέσμιοι του βασιλέως ήσαν πεφυλακισμένοι και έμενεν εκεί εν τη οχυρά φυλακή.
21 And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.
Αλλ' ο Κύριος ήτο μετά του Ιωσήφ και επέχεεν εις αυτόν έλεος, και έδωκε χάριν εις αυτόν έμπροσθεν του αρχιδεσμοφύλακος.
22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.
Και παρέδωκεν ο αρχιδεσμοφύλαξ εις τας χείρας του Ιωσήφ πάντας τους δεσμίους, τους εν τη οχυρά φυλακή· και πάντα όσα επράττοντο εκεί, αυτός έκαμνεν αυτά.
23 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
Ο αρχιδεσμοφύλαξ δεν εθεώρει ουδέν εκ των όσα ήσαν εις τας χείρας αυτού· διότι ο Κύριος ήτο μετ' αυτού και ο Κύριος ευώδονεν όσα αυτός έκαμνε.
