< Genesis 39 >

1 And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.
And Joseph he had been brought down Egypt towards and he bought him Potiphar [the] official of Pharaoh [the] commander of the bodyguards a man an Egyptian from [the] hand of the Ishmaelites who they had brought down him there towards.
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,
And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he was a man successful and he was in [the] house of master his the Egyptian.
3 Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
And he saw master his that Yahweh [was] with him and all that he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful in hand his.
4 And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:
And he found Joseph favor in view his and he served him and he appointed him over household his and all [that] there [belonged] to him he gave in hand his.
5 And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
And it was from then he appointed him in household his and over all that there [belonged] to him and he blessed Yahweh [the] household of the Egyptian on account of Joseph and it was [the] blessing of Yahweh on all that there [belonged] to him in the house and in the field.
6 Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
And he left all that [belonged] to him in [the] hand of Joseph and not he knew with him anything that except the food which he [was] eating and he was Joseph handsome of form and handsome of appearance.
7 And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
And it was after the things these and she lifted up [the] wife of master his eyes her to Joseph and she said lie! with me.
8 But he, in no wise consenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house:
And he refused - and he said to [the] wife of master his here! lord my not he knows with me what? [is] in the house and all that there [belongs] to him he has given in hand my.
9 Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife: how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God?
Not [is] he great in the household this more than me and not he has withheld from me anything that except you in that you [are] wife his and how? will I do the evil great this and I will sin to God.
10 With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
And it was when spoke she to Joseph day - day and not he listened to her to lie beside her to be with her.
11 Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
And it was when the day this and he went the house towards to do work his and not anyone from [the] men of the house [was] there in the house.
12 And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.
And she seized him by clothing his saying lie! with me and he left clothing his in hand her and he fled and he went out the outside towards.
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
And it was when saw she that he had left clothing his in hand her and he had fled the outside towards.
14 She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,
And she called out to [the] men of household her and she said to them saying see he has brought to us a man a Hebrew to mock us he came to me to lie with me and I called out with a voice great.
15 And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
And it was when heard he that I raised voice my and I called out and he left clothing his beside me and he fled and he went out the outside towards.
16 For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
And she placed clothing his beside her until came master his to house his.
17 And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
And she spoke to him according to the words these saying he came to me the servant the Hebrew whom you brought to us to mock me.
18 And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
And it was when raised I voice my and I called out and he left clothing his beside me and he fled the outside towards.
19 His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.
And it was when heard master his [the] words of wife his which she spoke to him saying according to the things these he did to me servant your and it burned anger his.
20 And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
And he took [the] master of Joseph him and he put him into [the] house of the prison [the] place where ([the] prisoners of *Q(K)*) the king [were] imprisoned and he was there in [the] house of the prison.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he extended to him covenant loyalty and he gave favor his in [the] eyes of [the] commander of [the] house of the prison.
22 Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
And he gave [the] commander of [the] house of the prison in [the] hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [were] in [the] house of the prison and all that [they were] doing there he he was doing.
23 Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
Not - [the] commander of [the] house of the prison [was] seeing all anything in hand his in that Yahweh [was] with him and [that] which he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful.
