Genesis 39

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guards, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.

2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was thus in the house of his master the Egyptian.

And Jehovah was with Joseph. And he was a man who succeeds. And he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 And when his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand:

And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 Joseph found grace in his eyes, and he served him; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered to him. And he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

5 And it came to pass from the time he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for the sake of Joseph; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.

And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake. And the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he troubled himself not about aught he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was handsome in form and handsome in appearance.

And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he knew nothing that was with him, save the bread which he ate. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored.

7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

And it came to pass, after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.

8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, Thy master troubleth himself not about what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath into my hand;

But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.

9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great evil, and sin against God?

He is not greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her;

And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not hearken to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

11 That it came to pass one particular day, that he went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

And it came to pass, about this time, that he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there inside.

12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me; and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and ran out into the street.

And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me. And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got out.

13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in unto us a Hebrew man to have his sport with us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

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 ran out into the street.

And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got out.

16 And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.

And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home.

17 And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to have his sport with me.

And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou have brought to us, came in to me to mock me.

18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.

And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.

19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying, After this manner hath thy servant done to me; that his wrath was kindled.

And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me, that his wrath was kindled.

20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were imprisoned: and he was there in the prison.

And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound. And he was there in the prison.

21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and caused him to find kindness, and gave him favor in the eyes of the superintendent of the prison.

But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

22 And the superintendent of the prison committed into Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, was done through him.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. And whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.

23 The superintendent of the prison looked not after the least that was under his hand, because the Lord was with him; and that which he did, the Lord made to prosper.

The keeper of the prison did not look to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him, and that which he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
