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.
A Josifa odvedoše u Misir; i Petefrije dvoranin Faraonov, zapovjednik stražarski, èovjek Misirac, kupi ga od Ismailjaca, koji ga odvedoše onamo.
2 The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in his Egyptian master's house.
I Gospod bješe s Josifom, te bi sreæan, i življaše u kuæi gospodara svojega Misirca.
3 His master noticed that the Lord was with him and made him successful in everything he did.
I gospodar njegov vidje da je Gospod s njim i da sve što radi Gospod vodi u napredak u ruci njegovoj.
4 Potiphar appreciated Joseph and his service, and put him in charge of his household and made him responsible for everything he owned.
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 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.
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 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,
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 so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep with me!”
I dogodi se poslije, te se žena gospodara njegova zagleda u Josifa, i reèe: lezi sa mnom.
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—
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 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?”
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 Day after day she persisted in asking him, but he refused to sleep with her and tried to avoid her.
I ona govoraše take rijeèi Josifu svaki dan, ali je ne posluša da legne s njom ni da se bavi kod nje.
11 But one day he went into the house to do his work and none of the other servants were there.
A jedan dan kad doðe Josif u kuæu da radi svoj posao, a ne bješe nikoga od domašnjih u kuæi,
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.
Ona ga uhvati za haljinu govoreæi: lezi sa mnom. Ali on ostaviv joj u rukama haljinu svoju pobježe i otide.
13 Seeing that he'd left his clothing in her hand, and had ran out of the house,
A kad ona vidje gdje joj ostavi u rukama haljinu svoju i pobježe,
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.
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 When he heard me scream for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
A on kad èu gdje vièem, ostavi haljinu svoju kod mene i pobježe i otide.
16 She kept his clothing with her until her husband came home.
I ona ostavi haljinu njegovu kod sebe dok mu gospodar doðe kuæi.
17 Then she told him her story. It went like this: “That Hebrew slave you brought here tried to come and dishonor me.
A tada mu reèe ovako govoreæi: sluga Jevrejin, kojega si nam doveo, doðe k meni da me osramoti;
18 But as soon as I screamed and called for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
A ja povikah iza glasa, te on ostaviv haljinu svoju kod mene pobježe.
19 When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry.
A kad gospodar njegov èu rijeèi žene svoje gdje mu reèe: to mi je uèinio sluga tvoj, razgnjevi se vrlo.
20 He took Joseph and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed.
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, showing him trustworthy love, and made the chief jailer pleased with him.
Ali Gospod bješe s Josifom i raširi milost svoju nad njim i uèini te omilje tamnièaru.
22 So the chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners there and gave him the responsibility for running the prison.
I povjeri tamnièar Josifu sve sužnje u tamnici, i što je god trebalo ondje èiniti on ureðivaše.
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.
I tamnièar ne nadgledaše ništa što bješe u Josifovoj ruci, jer Gospod bješe s njim; i što god èinjaše, Gospod voðaše u napredak.
