Genesis 39
1 Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither.
Josipa dovedoše u Egipat. Tu ga od Jišmaelaca koji su ga onamo doveli kupi Egipćanin Potifar, dvoranin faraonov i zapovjednik njegove tjelesne straže.
2 And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Jahve je bio s Josipom, zato je u svemu imao sreću: Egipćanin ga uzme k sebi u kuću.
3 And his master sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.
Vidje njegov gospodar da je Jahve s njim i da svemu što mu ruka poduzme Jahve daje uspjeh;
4 So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand.
zavolje on Josipa, uze ga za dvoranina i postavi ga za upravitelja svoga doma i povjeri mu sav svoj imetak.
5 And from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde.
I otkad mu je povjerio upravu svoga doma i svega svog imetka, blagoslovi Jahve dom Egipćaninov zbog Josipa: blagoslov Jahvin bijaše na svemu što je imao - u kući i u polju.
6 Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured.
I tako sve svoje prepusti brizi Josipovoj te se više ni za što nije brinuo, osim za jelo što je jeo. A Josip je bio mladić stasit i naočit.
7 Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye with me.
Poslije nekog vremena žena njegova gospodara zagleda se u Josipa i reče mu: “Legni sa mnom!”
8 But he refused and said to his masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande.
On se oprije i reče ženi svoga gospodara: “Gledaj! Otkako sam ja ovdje, moj se gospodar ne brine ni za što u kući; sve što ima meni je povjerio.
9 There is no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne against God?
On u ovoj kući nema više vlasti negoli ja i ništa mi ne krati, osim tebe, jer si njegova žena. Pa kako bih ja mogao učiniti tako veliku opačinu i sagriješiti protiv Boga!”
10 And albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.
Iako je Josipa salijetala iz dana u dan, on nije pristajao da uz nju legne; nije joj prilazio.
11 Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold in the house:
Jednog dana Josip uđe u kuću na posao. Kako nikog od služinčadi nije bilo u kući,
12 Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out.
ona ga uhvati za ogrtač i reče: “Legni sa mnom!” Ali on ostavi svoj ogrtač u njezinoj ruci, otrže se i pobježe van.
13 Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,
Vidjevši ona da je u njezinoj ruci ostavio ogrtač i pobjegao van,
14 She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce.
zovne svoje sluge te im reče: “Gledajte! Trebalo je da nam dovede jednog Hebrejca da se s nama poigrava. Taj k meni dođe da sa mnom legne, ali sam ja na sav glas zaviknula.
15 And when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.
A čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van.”
16 So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.
Uza se je držala njegov ogrtač dok mu je gospodar došao kući.
17 Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me.
Onda i njemu kaza istu priču: “Onaj sluga Hebrejac koga si nam doveo dođe k meni da sa mnom ljubaka!
18 But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.
Ali čim je čuo kako vičem, ostavi svoj ogrtač pokraj mene i pobježe van.”
19 Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled.
Kad je njegov gospodar čuo pripovijest svoje žene koja reče: “Eto, tako sa mnom tvoj sluga”, razgnjevi se.
20 And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.
Gospodar pograbi Josipa i baci ga u tamnicu - tamo gdje su bili zatvoreni kraljevi utamničenici. I osta u tamnici.
21 But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.
Ali je Jahve bio s njim, iskaza naklonost Josipu te on nađe milost u očima upravitelja tamnice.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.
Tako upravitelj tamnice preda u Josipove ruke sve utamničenike koji su se nalazili u tamnici; i ondje se ništa nije radilo bez njega.
23 And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
Budući da je Jahve bio s njim, upravitelj tamnice nije nadgledao ništa što je Josipu bilo povjereno: Jahve bijaše s njim, i što god bi poduzeo, Jahve bi to okrunio uspjehom.
