Genesis 39

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

Ioseph was brought vnto Egipte ad Putiphar a lorde of Pharaos: ad his chefe marshall an Egiptian bought him of ye Ismaelites which brought hi thither

2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.

And the LORde was with Ioseph and he was a luckie felowe and continued in the house of his master the Egiptian.

3 And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.

And his master sawe that the ORde was with him and that the LORde made all that he dyd prosper in his hande:

4 So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.

Wherfore he founde grace in his masters syghte and serued him. And his master made him ruelar of his house and put all that he had in his hande.

5 And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.

And as soone as he had made him ruelar ouer his house ad ouer all that he had the LORde blessed this Egiptians house for Iosephs sake and the blessynge of the LORde was vpon all that he had: both in the house and also in the feldes.

6 So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

And therfore he left all that he had in Iosephs hande and loked vpon nothinge that was with him saue only on the bread which he ate. And Ioseph was a goodly persone and a well favored

7 And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me."

And it fortuned after this that his masters wife cast hir eyes vpon Ioseph and sayde come lye with me.

8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.

But he denyed and sayde to her: Beholde my master woteth not what he hath in the house with me but hath commytted all that he hath to my hande

9 There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, and sin against God?"

He him selfe is not greatter in the house than I ad hath kepte nothige fro me but only the because thou art his wife. How than cam I do this great wykydnes for to synne agaynst God?

10 And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her.

And after this maner spake she to Ioseph daye by daye: but he harkened not vnto her to slepe nere her or to be in her company.

11 Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.

And it fortuned aboute the same season that Ioseph entred in to the house to do his busynes: and there was none of the houshold by in the house.

12 She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.

And she caught him by the garment saynge: come slepe with me. And he left his garment in hir hande ad fled and gott him out

13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,

when she sawe that he had left his garmet in hir hande and was fled out

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

she called vnto the men of the house and tolde them saynge: Se he hath brought in an Hebrewe vnto vs to do vs shame. for he came in to me for to haue slept myth me. But I cried with a lowde voyce.

15 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."

And when he harde that I lyfte vp my voyce and cryed he left his garment with me and fled awaye and got him out.

16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.

And she layed vp his garment by her vntill hir lorde came home.

17 And she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'

And she told him acordynge to these wordes saynge. This Hebrues servaunte which thou hast brought vnto vs came in to me to do me shame.

18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."

But as soone as I lyft vp my voyce and cryed he left his garment with me and fled out.

19 And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.

When his master herde the woordes of his wyfe which she tolde him saynge: after this maner dyd thy servaunte to me he waxed wrooth.

20 Then 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 prison.

And he toke Ioseph and put him in pryson: euen in the place where the kinges prisoners laye bounde. And there contynued he in preson.

21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

But the LORde was with Ioseph ad shewed him mercie and gott him fauoure in the syghte of the keper of ye preson

22 The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.

which commytted to Iosephe hade all the presoners that were in the preson housse. And what soeuer was done there yt dyd he.

23 The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.

And the keper of the preso loked vnto nothinge that was vnder his hande because the LORde was with him and because that what soeuer he dyd the LORde made it come luckely to passe.
