< Genesis 39 >

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt: and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.
وَأَمَّا يُوسُفُ فَأُنْزِلَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَٱشْتَرَاهُ فُوطِيفَارُ خَصِيُّ فِرْعَوْنَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، رَجُلٌ مِصْرِيٌّ، مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْزَلُوهُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ.١
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man: and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ يُوسُفَ فَكَانَ رَجُلًا نَاجِحًا، وَكَانَ فِي بَيْتِ سَيِّدِهِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّ.٢
3 And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
وَرَأَى سَيِّدُهُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعَهُ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَصْنَعُ كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ يُنْجِحُهُ بِيَدِهِ.٣
4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand.
فَوَجَدَ يُوسُفُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، وَخَدَمَهُ، فَوَكَّلَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ وَدَفَعَ إِلَى يَدِهِ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ.٤
5 And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake: and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house, and in the field.
وَكَانَ مِنْ حِينِ وَكَّلَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ بَارَكَ بَيْتَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّ بِسَبَبِ يُوسُفَ. وَكَانَتْ بَرَكَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ وَفِي ٱلْحَقْلِ،٥
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he ate; and Joseph was [a] goodly [person], and well favored.
فَتَرَكَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي يَدِ يُوسُفَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ يَعْرِفُ شَيْئًا إِلَا ٱلْخُبْزَ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ. وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ حَسَنَ ٱلصُّورَةِ وَحَسَنَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ.٦
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.
وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ ٱمْرَأَةَ سَيِّدِهِ رَفَعَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا إِلَى يُوسُفَ وَقَالَتِ: «ٱضْطَجِعْ مَعِي».٧
8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand:
فَأَبَى وَقَالَ لِٱمْرَأَةِ سَيِّدِهِ: «هُوَذَا سَيِّدِي لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعِي مَا فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُ قَدْ دَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِي.٨
9 [There is] none greater in his 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 wickedness, and sin against God?
لَيْسَ هُوَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ أَعْظَمَ مِنِّي. وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْ عَنِّي شَيْئًا غَيْرَكِ، لِأَنَّكِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ. فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ هَذَا ٱلشَّرَّ ٱلْعَظِيمَ وَأُخْطِئُ إِلَى ٱللهِ؟».٩
10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not to her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.
وَكَانَ إِذْ كَلَّمَتْ يُوسُفَ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهَا أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ بِجَانِبِهَا لِيَكُونَ مَعَهَا.١٠
11 And it came to pass, about this time, that [Joseph] went into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of the house there within.
ثُمَّ حَدَثَ نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ لِيَعْمَلَ عَمَلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْبَيْتِ هُنَاكَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ.١١
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and went out.
فَأَمْسَكَتْهُ بِثَوْبِهِ قَائِلَةً: «ٱضْطَجِعْ مَعِي!». فَتَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ فِي يَدِهَا وَهَرَبَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ.١٢
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled forth,
وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ فِي يَدِهَا وَهَرَبَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ،١٣
14 That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he hath 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:
أَنَّهَا نَادَتْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهَا، وَكَلَّمَتهُمْ قَائِلةً: «ٱنْظُرُوا! قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَيْنَا بِرَجُلٍ عِبْرَانِيٍّ لِيُدَاعِبَنَا! دَخَلَ إِلَيَّ لِيَضْطَجِعَ مَعِي، فَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ.١٤
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and went out.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ أَنِّي رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ، أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِي وَهَرَبَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ».١٥
16 And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.
فَوَضَعَتْ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِهَا حَتَّى جَاءَ سَيِّدُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.١٦
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought to us, came in to me to mock me.
فَكَلَّمَتْهُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ قَائِلَةً: «دَخَلَ إِلَيَّ ٱلْعَبْدُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّ ٱلَّذِي جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا لِيُدَاعِبَنِي.١٧
18 And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ، أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِي وَهَرَبَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ».١٨
19 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.
فَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ سَيِّدُهُ كَلَامَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَتْهُ بِهِ قَائِلَةً: «بِحَسَبِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ صَنَعَ بِي عَبْدُكَ»، أَنَّ غَضَبَهُ حَمِيَ.١٩
20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound: and he was there in the prison.
فَأَخَذَ يُوسُفَ سَيِّدُهُ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَسْرَى ٱلْمَلِكِ مَحْبُوسِينَ فِيهِ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.٢٠
21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَ يُوسُفَ، وَبَسَطَ إِلَيْهِ لُطْفًا، وَجَعَلَ نِعْمَةً لَهُ فِي عَيْنَيْ رَئِيسِ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.٢١
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatever they did there, was done by him.
فَدَفَعَ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ إِلَى يَدِ يُوسُفَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَسْرَى ٱلَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ. وَكُلُّ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ هُنَاكَ كَانَ هُوَ ٱلْعَامِلَ.٢٢
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him: and [that] which he did the LORD made [it] to prosper.
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ يَنْظُرُ شَيْئًا ٱلْبَتَّةَ مِمَّا فِي يَدِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَمَهْمَا صَنَعَ كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ يُنْجِحُهُ.٢٣
