Genesis 39
1 Meanwhile, Joseph was led into Egypt. And Putiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, a leader of the army, an Egyptian man, purchased him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, by whom he was brought.
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 him, and he was a man who prospered in everything that he did. And he lived in the house of his lord,
I Gospod bješe s Josifom, te bi sreæan, i življaše u kuæi gospodara svojega Misirca.
3 who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and that all the things that were done by him were directed by his hand.
I gospodar njegov vidje da je Gospod s njim i da sve što radi Gospod vodi u napredak u ruci njegovoj.
4 And Joseph found favor in the sight of his lord, and he ministered to him. And, having been placed in charge of everything by him, he governed the house that was entrusted to him and all the things that had been delivered to him.
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 the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian, because of Joseph, and he multiplied all his substance, as much in the buildings, as in the fields.
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 Neither did he know anything other than the bread that he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form, and stately in appearance.
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 so, after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Sleep with me.”
I dogodi se poslije, te se žena gospodara njegova zagleda u Josifa, i reèe: lezi sa mnom.
8 And without consenting at all to the wicked act, he said to her: “Behold, my lord has delivered all things to me, and he does not know what he has in his own house.
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 Neither is there anything which is not in my power, or that he has not delivered to me, except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this evil act and sin against my 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 With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.
I ona govoraše take rijeèi Josifu svaki dan, ali je ne posluša da legne s njom ni da se bavi kod nje.
11 Then it happened, on a certain day, that Joseph entered the house, and he was doing something, without any witnesses.
A jedan dan kad doðe Josif u kuæu da radi svoj posao, a ne bješe nikoga od domašnjih u kuæi,
12 And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, “Sleep with me.” But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.
Ona ga uhvati za haljinu govoreæi: lezi sa mnom. Ali on ostaviv joj u rukama haljinu svoju pobježe i otide.
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,
A kad ona vidje gdje joj ostavi u rukama haljinu svoju i pobježe,
14 she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: “Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,
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 he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
A on kad èu gdje vièem, ostavi haljinu svoju kod mene i pobježe i otide.
16 As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.
I ona ostavi haljinu njegovu kod sebe dok mu gospodar doðe kuæi.
17 And she said: “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.
A tada mu reèe ovako govoreæi: sluga Jevrejin, kojega si nam doveo, doðe k meni da me osramoti;
18 And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
A ja povikah iza glasa, te on ostaviv haljinu svoju kod mene pobježe.
19 His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.
A kad gospodar njegov èu rijeèi žene svoje gdje mu reèe: to mi je uèinio sluga tvoj, razgnjevi se vrlo.
20 And he delivered Joseph into prison, where the prisoners of the king were kept, and he was enclosed in that place.
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, having mercy on him, he gave him favor in the sight of the leader of the prison,
Ali Gospod bješe s Josifom i raširi milost svoju nad njim i uèini te omilje tamnièaru.
22 who delivered into his hand all the prisoners who were held in custody. And whatever was done, was under him.
I povjeri tamnièar Josifu sve sužnje u tamnici, i što je god trebalo ondje èiniti on ureðivaše.
23 Neither did he himself know anything, having entrusted all things to him. For the Lord was with him, and he directed everything that he did.
I tamnièar ne nadgledaše ništa što bješe u Josifovoj ruci, jer Gospod bješe s njim; i što god èinjaše, Gospod voðaše u napredak.
