Genesis 39
1 Meanwhile, the descendants of Ishmael took Joseph down to Egypt. There Potiphar bought Joseph from them. Potiphar was an Egyptian who was one of the king’s officials and the captain of the king’s (palace guards/guards who protected the king).
А Јосифа одведоше у Мисир; и Петефрије дворанин Фараонов, заповедник стражарски, човек Мисирац, купи га од Исмаиљаца, који га одведоше онамо.
2 Because Yahweh helped Joseph, he was able to do his work very well, and lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
И Господ беше с Јосифом, те би срећан, и живеше у кући господара свог Мисирца.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was helping Joseph and enabling him to be successful in everything that he did.
И господар његов виде да је Господ с њим и да све што ради Господ води у напредак у руци његовој.
4 Joseph’s master was pleased with him, so he appointed him to be his personal servant. Then he appointed him to be the one who would take care of everything in his household and all of his possessions.
И Јосиф стече милост у њега, и двораше га; а најпосле постави га над целим домом својим, и шта год имаше њему даде у руке.
5 From the time Potiphar appointed Joseph to take care of everything in his household and all that he owned, Yahweh blessed the people who lived in Potiphar’s house because of Joseph. He also caused Potiphar’s crops to grow well.
А кад га постави над домом својим и над свим што имаше, од тада Господ благослови дом тога Мисирца ради Јосифа; и благослов Господњи беше на свему што имаше у кући и у пољу.
6 Potiphar allowed Joseph to take care of everything that he owned. Potiphar needed to decide only about the food he ate. He was not concerned about anything else in his house. Joseph was well-built/muscular and handsome.
И остави у Јосифовим рукама све што имаше, и не разбираше низашта осим јела које јеђаше. А Јосиф беше лепог стаса и лепог лица.
7 Because of that, after a while, his master’s wife started to look fondly at Joseph. So one day she said to him, “Have sex [EUP] with me!”
И догоди се после, те се жена господара његовог загледа у Јосифа, и рече: Лези са мном.
8 But he refused, saying to his master’s wife, “Listen! My master is not concerned about anything in this house. He has appointed me to take care of everything that he owns.
А он не хте, него рече жени господара свог: Ето господар мој не разбира низашта шта је у кући, него шта год има даде мени у руке.
9 No one in this household has more authority than I do. The only thing that he has not allowed me to have is you, because you are his wife! So (how could I do this wicked thing [that you are asking me to do]?/I certainly could not do this wicked thing!) [RHQ] I would be sinning against God if I did that!”
Ни сам није већи од мене у овој кући, и ништа не крије од мене осим тебе, јер си му жена; па како бих учинио тако грдно зло и Богу згрешио?
10 She kept on asking Joseph day after day to have sex [EUP] with her, but he refused. He would not even go near her.
И она говораше такве речи Јосифу сваки дан, али је не послуша да легне с њом ни да се бави код ње.
11 One day Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the other household servants were in the house.
А један дан кад дође Јосиф у кућу да ради свој посао, а не беше никога од домашњих у кући,
12 Potiphar’s wife grabbed his cloak and said, “Have sex [EUP] with me!” Joseph ran out of the house, but his cloak was still in her hand!
Она га ухвати за хаљину говорећи: Лези са мном. Али он оставивши јој у рукама хаљину своју побеже и отиде.
13 When she saw that he had run outside leaving his cloak in her hand,
А кад она виде где јој остави у рукама хаљину своју и побеже,
14 she called the household servants. She said to them, “Look! This Hebrew man that my husband brought to us is (insulting/trying to do something disgraceful to) us! He came into my room and tried to (rape me/make me have sex [EUP] with him), but I screamed loudly.
Викну чељад своју, и рече им говорећи: Гледајте, довео нам је човека Јеврејина да нас срамоти; дође к мени да легне са мном, а ја повиках гласно;
15 As soon as he heard me scream loudly, he left his loincloth with me and ran outside!”
А он кад чу где вичем, остави хаљину своју код мене и побеже и отиде.
16 She kept the loincloth beside her until her husband, Joseph’s master, came home.
И она остави хаљину његову код себе док му господар дође кући.
17 Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me!
А тада му рече овако говорећи: Слуга Јеврејин, кога си нам довео, дође к мени да ме осрамоти;
18 As soon as I screamed loudly, he ran outside, leaving me holding his loincloth!”
А ја повиках гласно, те он остави хаљину своју код мене и побеже.
19 When Joseph’s master heard this story that his wife told him, saying “This is how your slave treated me,” he was very angry.
А кад господар његов чу речи жене своје где му рече: То ми је учинио слуга твој, разгневи се врло.
20 Joseph’s master took Joseph and put him in prison, the place where all the king’s prisoners were put, and Joseph stayed there.
И господар Јосифов ухвати га, и баци га у тамницу, где лежаху сужњи царски: и би онде у тамници.
21 But Yahweh was kind to Joseph and helped him, and caused the (prison warden/man who was in charge of the prison) to be pleased with him.
Али Господ беше с Јосифом и рашири милост своју над њим и учини те омиле тамничару.
22 So the prison warden put Joseph in charge of all those who were in the prison, and in charge of all the work that was done there.
И повери тамничар Јосифу све сужње у тамници, и шта је год требало онде чинити он уређиваше.
23 The warden was not concerned with anything that Joseph was taking care of, because Yahweh helped Joseph to do well everything that he did.
И тамничар не надгледаше ништа што беше у Јосифовој руци, јер Господ беше с њим; и шта год чињаше, Господ вођаше у напредак.
