Genesis 39

1 And Joseph he had been brought down Egypt towards and he bought him Potiphar [the] official of Pharaoh [the] commander of the bodyguards a man an Egyptian from [the] hand of the Ishmaelites who they had brought down him there towards.

And Joseph has been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buys him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him there.

2 And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he was a man successful and he was in [the] house of master his the Egyptian.

And YHWH is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,

3 And he saw master his that Yahweh [was] with him and all that he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful in hand his.

and his lord sees that YHWH is with him, and all that he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper in his hand,

4 And he found Joseph favor in view his and he served him and he appointed him over household his and all [that] there [belonged] to him he gave in hand his.

and Joseph finds grace in his eyes and serves him, and he appoints him over his house, and all that he has he has given into his hand.

5 And it was from then he appointed him in household his and over all that there [belonged] to him and he blessed Yahweh [the] household of the Egyptian on account of Joseph and it was [the] blessing of Yahweh on all that there [belonged] to him in the house and in the field.

And it comes to pass from the time that he has appointed him over his house, and over all that he has, that YHWH blesses the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of YHWH is on all that he has, in the house, and in the field;

6 And he left all that [belonged] to him in [the] hand of Joseph and not he knew with him anything that except the food which he [was] eating and he was Joseph handsome of form and handsome of appearance.

and he leaves all that he has in the hand of Joseph, and he has not known anything that he has, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a handsome form, and of a handsome appearance.

7 And it was after the things these and she lifted up [the] wife of master his eyes her to Joseph and she said lie! with me.

And it comes to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifts up her eyes to Joseph and says, “Lie with me”;

8 And he refused - and he said to [the] wife of master his here! lord my not he knows with me what? [is] in the house and all that there [belongs] to him he has given in hand my.

and he refuses and says to his lord’s wife, “Behold, my lord has not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand;

9 Not [is] he great in the household this more than me and not he has withheld from me anything that except you in that you [are] wife his and how? will I do the evil great this and I will sin to God.

none is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld from me anything, except you, because you [are] his wife; and how will I do this great evil? Then I have sinned against God.”

10 And it was when spoke she to Joseph day - day and not he listened to her to lie beside her to be with her.

And it comes to pass at her speaking to Joseph day [by] day, that he has not listened to her, to lie near her, to be with her;

11 And it was when the day this and he went the house towards to do work his and not anyone from [the] men of the house [was] there in the house.

and it comes to pass about this day, that he goes into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,

12 And she seized him by clothing his saying lie! with me and he left clothing his in hand her and he fled and he went out the outside towards.

and she catches him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me”; and he leaves his garment in her hand, and flees, and goes outside.

13 And it was when saw she that he had left clothing his in hand her and he had fled the outside towards.

And it comes to pass, when she sees that he has left his garment in her hand, and flees outside,

14 And she called out to [the] men of household her and she said to them saying see he has brought to us a man a Hebrew to mock us he came to me to lie with me and I called out with a voice great.

that she calls for the men of her house, and speaks to them, saying, “See, he has brought a man to us, a Hebrew, to play with us; he has come in to me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,

15 And it was when heard he that I raised voice my and I called out and he left clothing his beside me and he fled and he went out the outside towards.

and it comes to pass, when he hears that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees, and goes outside.”

16 And she placed clothing his beside her until came master his to house his.

And she places his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord to his house.

17 And she spoke to him according to the words these saying he came to me the servant the Hebrew whom you brought to us to mock me.

And she speaks to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you have brought to us, has come in to me to play with me;

18 And it was when raised I voice my and I called out and he left clothing his beside me and he fled the outside towards.

and it comes to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees outside.”

19 And it was when heard master his [the] words of wife his which she spoke to him saying according to the things these he did to me servant your and it burned anger his.

And it comes to pass, when his lord hears the words of his wife, which she has spoken to him, saying, “According to these things has your servant done to me,” that his anger burns;

20 And he took [the] master of Joseph him and he put him into [the] house of the prison [the] place where ([the] prisoners of *Q(K)*) the king [were] imprisoned and he was there in [the] house of the prison.

and Joseph’s lord takes him, and puts him to the round-house, a place where the king’s prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-house.

21 And he was Yahweh with Joseph and he extended to him covenant loyalty and he gave favor his in [the] eyes of [the] commander of [the] house of the prison.

And YHWH is with Joseph, and stretches out kindness to him, and puts his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;

22 And he gave [the] commander of [the] house of the prison in [the] hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [were] in [the] house of the prison and all that [they were] doing there he he was doing.

and the chief of the round-house gives into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he has been doer;

23 Not - [the] commander of [the] house of the prison [was] seeing all anything in hand his in that Yahweh [was] with him and [that] which he [was] doing Yahweh [was] making successful.

the chief of the round-house does not see anything under his hand, because YHWH [is] with him, and that which he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper.
