Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
Jožef je bil priveden dol v Egipt, in faraonov častnik Potifár, poveljnik straže, Egipčan, ga je kupil iz roke Izmaelcev, ki so ga privedli tja dol.
2 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Gospod pa je bil z Jožefom in bil je uspešen človek in bil je v hiši svojega gospodarja Egipčana.
3 And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Njegov gospodar je videl, da je bil z njim Gospod in da je Gospod naredil, da je v njegovi roki vse uspevalo.
4 And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
Jožef je našel naklonjenost v njegovih očeh in mu služil. Postavil ga je za nadzornika nad svojo hišo in vse, kar je imel, je položil v njegovo roko.
5 And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
Pripetilo se je čez čas, ko ga je postavil za nadzornika v svoji hiši in nad vsem, kar je imel, da je Gospod zaradi Jožefa blagoslovil Egipčanovo hišo in Gospodov blagoslov je bil nad vsem, kar je imel v hiši in na polju.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
Vse, kar je imel, je pustil v Jožefovi roki in ni vedel, kar bi moral, razen kruha, ki ga je jedel. Jožef pa je bil čedne zunanjosti in lepega videza.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
Pripetilo se je po teh stvareh, da je gospodarjeva žena vrgla svoje oči na Jožefa in rekla: »Lezi z menoj.«
8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
Toda odklonil je in ženi svojega gospodarja rekel: »Glej, moj gospodar ne ve kaj je z menoj v hiši in vse, kar ima, je zaupal v mojo roko.
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Nikogar večjega v tej hiši ni kakor jaz niti ni nobene stvari zadržal pred menoj, razen tebe, ker si njegova žena; kako lahko jaz potem storim to veliko zlobnost in grešim zoper Boga?«
10 And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
Pripetilo se je, ko je dan za dnem govorila Jožefu, da ji ni prisluhnil, da leži z njo ali da bi bil z njo.
11 that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
Pripetilo se je okoli tega časa, da je Jožef odšel v hišo, da opravi svoje opravilo in tam v hiši ni bilo nikogar od ljudi.
12 Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
Ona pa ga je ujela za njegovo obleko, rekoč: »Lezi z menoj« in pustil je svojo obleko v njeni roki, pobegnil in izginil ven.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
Pripetilo se je, ko je videla, da je v njeni roki pustil svojo obleko in je pobegnil naprej,
14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;
da je zaklicala k možem svoje hiše in jim govorila, rekoč: »Vidite, k nam je privedel Hebrejca, da nas zasmehuje. Prišel je k meni, da leži z menoj, jaz pa sem zaklicala z močnim glasom.
15 and it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.
Pripetilo se je, ko je zaslišal, da sem povzdignila svoj glas in zakričala, da je svojo obleko pustil pri meni, pobegnil in izginil ven.«
16 And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
Njegovo obleko je položila poleg sebe, dokler njen gospodar ni prišel domov.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
Govorila mu je glede na te besede, rekoč: »Hebrejski služabnik, ki si ga privedel k nam, je prišel noter k meni in me zasmehoval
18 and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
in pripetilo se je, ko sem povzdignila svoj glas in zakričala, da je svojo obleko pustil pri meni in pobegnil.«
19 And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
Pripetilo se je, ko je njegov gospodar slišal besede svoje žene, ki mu jih je govorila, rekoč: »Na ta način mi je storil tvoj služabnik, « da je bil vžgan njegov bes.
20 And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
Jožefov gospodar ga je vzel in ga vtaknil v ječo, kraj, kjer so bili zvezani kraljevi jetniki in bil je tam v ječi.
21 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
Toda Gospod je bil z Jožefom in mu izkazal usmiljenje in mu dal naklonjenost v očeh čuvaja ječe.
22 And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
Čuvaj ječe je v Jožefovo roko zaupal vse jetnike, ki so bili v ječi in karkoli so tam storili, je bil on izvršitelj tega.
23 The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
Čuvaj ječe ni gledal na nobeno stvar, ki je bila pod njegovo roko, ker je bil z njim Gospod in tisto, kar je naredil, je Gospod storil, da je to uspevalo.
