Genesis 39
1 Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh who was captain of the guard and an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
igitur Ioseph ductus est in Aegyptum emitque eum Putiphar eunuchus Pharaonis princeps exercitus vir aegyptius de manu Ismahelitarum a quibus perductus erat
2 Yahweh was with Joseph and he became a prosperous man. He lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
fuitque Dominus cum eo et erat vir in cunctis prospere agens habitabatque in domo domini sui
3 His master saw that Yahweh was with him and that Yahweh prospered everything that he did.
qui optime noverat esse Dominum cum eo et omnia quae gereret ab eo dirigi in manu illius
4 Joseph found favor in his sight. He served Potiphar. Potiphar made Joseph manager over his house, and everything that he possessed, he put under his care.
invenitque Ioseph gratiam coram domino suo et ministrabat ei a quo praepositus omnibus gubernabat creditam sibi domum et universa quae tradita fuerant
5 It came about from the time that he made him manager over his house and over everything he possessed, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph. The blessing of Yahweh was on everything that Potiphar had in the house and in the field.
benedixitque Dominus domui Aegyptii propter Ioseph et multiplicavit tam in aedibus quam in agris cunctam eius substantiam
6 Potiphar put everything that he had under Joseph's care. He did not have to think about anything except the food that he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and attractive.
nec quicquam aliud noverat nisi panem quo vescebatur erat autem Ioseph pulchra facie et decorus aspectu
7 It came about after this that his master's wife lusted for Joseph. She said, “Sleep with me.”
post multos itaque dies iecit domina oculos suos in Ioseph et ait dormi mecum
8 But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Look, my master does not pay attention to what I do in the house, and he has put everything that he owns under my care.
qui nequaquam adquiescens operi nefario dixit ad eam ecce dominus meus omnibus mihi traditis ignorat quid habeat in domo sua
9 No one is greater in this house than I am. He has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”
nec quicquam est quod non in mea sit potestate vel non tradiderit mihi praeter te quae uxor eius es quomodo ergo possum malum hoc facere et peccare in Deum meum
10 She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her or to be with her.
huiuscemodi verbis per singulos dies et mulier molesta erat adulescenti et ille recusabat stuprum
11 It came about one day that he went into the house to do his work. None of the men of the house were there in the house.
accidit autem ut quadam die intraret Ioseph domum et operis quippiam absque arbitris faceret
12 She caught him by his clothes and said, “Sleep with me.” He left his clothing in her hand, fled, and went outside.
et illa adprehensa lacinia vestimenti eius diceret dormi mecum qui relicto in manu illius pallio fugit et egressus est foras
13 It came about, when she saw that he had left his clothing in her hand and had fled outside,
cumque vidisset mulier vestem in manibus suis et se esse contemptam
14 that she called to the men of her house and told them, “See, Potiphar has brought in a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I screamed.
vocavit homines domus suae et ait ad eos en introduxit virum hebraeum ut inluderet nobis ingressus est ad me ut coiret mecum cumque ego succlamassem
15 It came about when he heard me scream, that he left his clothing with me, fled, and went outside.”
et audisset vocem meam reliquit pallium quod tenebam et fugit foras
16 She set his clothing next to her until his master came home.
in argumentum ergo fidei retentum pallium ostendit marito revertenti domum
17 She told him this explanation, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us, came in to mock me.
et ait ingressus est ad me servus hebraeus quem adduxisti ut inluderet mihi
18 It came about that when I screamed, he left his clothing with me and fled outside.”
cumque vidisset me clamare reliquit pallium et fugit foras
19 It came about that, when his master heard the explanation his wife told him, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became very angry.
his auditis dominus et nimium credulus verbis coniugis iratus est valde
20 Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. He was there in the prison.
tradiditque Ioseph in carcerem ubi vincti regis custodiebantur et erat ibi clausus
21 But Yahweh was with Joseph and showed covenant faithfulness to him. He gave him favor in the sight of the prison warden.
fuit autem Dominus cum Ioseph et misertus illius dedit ei gratiam in conspectu principis carceris
22 The prison warden gave into Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, Joseph was in charge of it.
qui tradidit in manu ipsius universos vinctos qui in custodia tenebantur et quicquid fiebat sub ipso erat
23 The prison warden did not worry about anything that was in his hand, because Yahweh was with him. Whatever he did, Yahweh prospered.
nec noverat aliquid cunctis ei creditis Dominus enim erat cum illo et omnia eius opera dirigebat
