Genesis 39
1 Joseph had been taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelites, who had sold him to Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officers, the commander of the royal guard.
| اما یوسف را به مصر بردند، و مردی مصری، فوطیفار نام که خواجه و سردارافواج خاصه فرعون بود، وی را از دست اسماعیلیانی که او را بدانجا برده بودند، خرید. | ۱ |
2 The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in his Egyptian master's house.
| وخداوند با یوسف می‌بود، و او مردی کامیاب شد، و در خانه آقای مصری خود ماند. | ۲ |
3 His master noticed that the Lord was with him and made him successful in everything he did.
| و آقایش دیدکه خداوند با وی می‌باشد، و هر‌آنچه او می‌کند، خداوند در دستش راست می‌آورد. | ۳ |
4 Potiphar appreciated Joseph and his service, and put him in charge of his household and made him responsible for everything he owned.
| پس یوسف در نظر وی التفات یافت، و او را خدمت می‌کرد، واو را به خانه خود برگماشت و تمام مایملک خویش را بدست وی سپرد. | ۴ |
5 From the time he put Joseph in charge and trusted him with all he had, the Lord blessed Potiphar's household because of Joseph. The Lord blessed everything he had, whether in his house or in his fields.
| و واقع شد بعد ازآنکه او را بر خانه و تمام مایملک خود گماشته بود، که خداوند خانه آن مصری را بسبب یوسف برکت داد، و برکت خداوند بر همه اموالش، چه در خانه و چه در صحرا بود. | ۵ |
6 So Potiphar left Joseph to care for everything he owned. He didn't bother with anything except to decide what food he was going to eat. Now Joseph was handsome, having a good physique,
| و آنچه داشت به‌دست یوسف واگذاشت، و از آنچه با وی بود، خبر نداشت جز نانی که می‌خورد. و یوسف خوش اندام و نیک منظر بود. | ۶ |
7 so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep with me!”
| و بعد از این امور واقع شد که زن آقایش بریوسف نظر انداخته، گفت: «با من همخواب شو.» | ۷ |
8 But he turned her down, telling his master's wife, “Look, my master trusts me so much he doesn't even bother to find out how his household is running. He's put me in charge of everything he owns—
| اما او ابا نموده، به زن آقای خود گفت: «اینک آقایم از آنچه نزد من در خانه است، خبر ندارد، وآنچه دارد، به‌دست من سپرده است. | ۸ |
9 no one in this house has more authority than me! He hasn't held back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such an evil thing as this, and sin against God?”
| بزرگتری ازمن در این خانه نیست و چیزی از من دریغ نداشته، جز تو، چون زوجه او می‌باشی؛ پس چگونه مرتکب این شرارت بزرگ بشوم و به خدا خطاورزم؟» | ۹ |
10 Day after day she persisted in asking him, but he refused to sleep with her and tried to avoid her.
| و اگرچه هر روزه به یوسف سخن می‌گفت، به وی گوش نمی گرفت که با او بخوابد یانزد وی بماند. | ۱۰ |
11 But one day he went into the house to do his work and none of the other servants were there.
| و روزی واقع شد که به خانه درآمد، تا به شغل خود پردازد و از اهل خانه کسی آنجا درخانه نبود. | ۱۱ |
12 She grabbed him by his clothing, and demanded, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his clothing in her hand, he ran out of the house.
| پس جامه او را گرفته، گفت: «با من بخواب.» اما او جامه خود را به‌دستش رها کرده، گریخت و بیرون رفت. | ۱۲ |
13 Seeing that he'd left his clothing in her hand, and had ran out of the house,
| و چون او دید که رخت خود را به‌دست وی ترک کرد و از خانه گریخت، | ۱۳ |
14 she shouted out to her servants, “Look at this! He brought this Hebrew slave here to dishonor us! This man came to try and rape me, but I screamed at the top of my voice.
| مردان خانه راصدا زد، و بدیشان بیان کرده، گفت: «بنگرید، مردعبرانی را نزد ما آورد تا ما را مسخره کند، و نزدمن آمد تا با من بخوابد، و به آواز بلند فریاد کردم، | ۱۴ |
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
| و چون شنید که به آواز بلند فریاد برآوردم، جامه خود را نزد من واگذارده، فرار کرد و بیرون رفت.» | ۱۵ |
16 She kept his clothing with her until her husband came home.
| پس جامه او را نزد خود نگاه داشت، تاآقایش به خانه آمد. | ۱۶ |
17 Then she told him her story. It went like this: “That Hebrew slave you brought here tried to come and dishonor me.
| و به وی بدین مضمون ذکر کرده، گفت: «آن غلام عبرانی که برای ماآورده‌ای، نزد من آمد تا مرا مسخره کند، | ۱۷ |
18 But as soon as I screamed and called for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
| وچون به آواز بلند فریاد برآوردم، جامه خود راپیش من رها کرده، بیرون گریخت.» | ۱۸ |
19 When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry.
| پس چون آقایش سخن زن خود را شنید که به وی بیان کرده، گفت: «غلامت به من چنین کرده است، » خشم او افروخته شد. | ۱۹ |
20 He took Joseph and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed.
| و آقای یوسف، او را گرفته، در زندان خانه‌ای که اسیران پادشاه بسته بودند، انداخت و آنجا در زندان ماند. | ۲۰ |
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, showing him trustworthy love, and made the chief jailer pleased with him.
| اماخداوند با یوسف می‌بود و بر وی احسان می‌فرمود، و او را در نظر داروغه زندان حرمت داد. | ۲۱ |
22 So the chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners there and gave him the responsibility for running the prison.
| و داروغه زندان همه زندانیان را که درزندان بودند، به‌دست یوسف سپرد. و آنچه درآنجا می‌کردند، او کننده آن بود. | ۲۲ |
23 The chief jailer didn't bother with anything for Joseph took care of it all for the Lord was with him and made him successful.
| و داروغه زندان بدانچه در دست وی بود، نگاه نمی کرد، زیرا خداوند با وی می‌بود و آنچه را که او می‌کرد، خداوند راست می‌آورد. | ۲۳ |
