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.

١ وَأَخَذَ الإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّونَ يُوسُفَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، فَاشْتَرَاهُ مِنْهُمْ مِصْرِيٌّ يُدْعَى فُوطِيفَارَ، كَانَ خَصِيَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَرَئِيسَ الْحَرَسِ.

2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man: and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

٢ وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يُوسُفَ، فَأَفْلَحَ فِي أَعْمَالِهِ، وَأَقَامَ فِي بَيْتِ سَيِّدِهِ الْمِصْرِيِّ.

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.

٣ وَرَأَى مَوْلاهُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَهُ وَأَنَّهُ يُكَلِّلُ كُلَّ مَا تَصْنَعُهُ يَدَاهُ بِالنَّجَاحِ،

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.

٤ فَحَظِيَ يُوسُفُ بِرِضَى سَيِّدِهِ، فَجَعَلَهُ وَكِيلاً عَلَى بَيْتِهِ وَوَلَّاهُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَالَهُ.

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.

٥ وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ بَيْتَ الْمِصْرِيِّ وَكُلَّ مَالَهُ مِنْ مُقْتَنَيَاتٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَالْحَقْلِ بِفَضْلِ يُوسُفَ.

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.

٦ فَعَهِدَ بِكُلِّ مَالَهُ إِلَى يُوسُفَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ مَعَهُ شَيْئاً إِلّا الْخُبْزَ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُهُ. وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ جَمِيلَ الْهَيْئَةِ وَسِيمَ الْوَجْهِ.

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.

٧ ثُمَّ لَمْ تَلْبَثْ أَنْ أُغْرِمَتْ بِهِ زَوْجَةُ مَوْلاهُ فَقَالَتْ: «اضْطَجِعْ مَعِي».

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:

٨ فَأَبَى وَقَالَ لَهَا: «هُوَذَا سَيِّدِي قَدْ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ بِكُلِّ مَا يَمْلِكُ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ وَلَمْ يُشْغِلْ نَفْسَهُ بِأَيِّ شَأْنٍ فِيهِ.

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?

٩ وَلَيْسَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنِّي. وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْ عَنِّي شَيْئاً غَيْرَكِ لأَنَّكِ زَوْجَتُهُ. فَكَيْفَ أَقْتَرِفُ هَذَا الشَّرَّ الْعَظِيمَ وَأُخْطِئُ إِلَى اللهِ؟»

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.

١٠ وَلَمْ يُذْعِنْ يُوسُفُ لَهَا مَعَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُلِحُّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْماً بَعْدَ آخَرَ.

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.

١١ وَحَدَثَ يَوْماً أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ لِيَقُومَ بِعَمَلِهِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ أَحَدٌ،

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.

١٢ فَأَمْسَكَتْهُ مِنْ رِدَائِهِ وَقَالَتْ: «اضْطَجِعْ مَعِي». فَتَرَكَ رِدَاءَهُ بِيَدِهَا وَهَرَبَ خَارِجاً تَارِكاً رِدَاءَهُ بِيَدِهَا

13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled forth,

١٣ وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَتْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ رَفَضَ وَهَرَبَ خَارِجاً تَارِكاً رِدَاءَهُ بِيَدِهَا

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:

١٤ نَادَتْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهَا وَقَالَتْ: «انْظُرُوا مَا جَرَى؟ هَذَا الْعِبْرَانِيُّ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ زَوْجِي إِلَى الْبَيْتِ. شَرَعَ يُرَاوِدُنِي عَنْ نَفْسِي. دَخَلَ غُرْفَتِي وَحَاوَلَ اغْتِصَابِي، فَصَرَخْتُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِي.

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.

١٥ وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَنِي قَدْ رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ، تَرَكَ رِدَاءَهُ مَعِي وَهَرَبَ خَارِجاً».

16 And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.

١٦ وَأَلْقَتْ رِدَاءَهُ إِلَى جَانِبِهَا حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَوْلاهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ،

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.

١٧ فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَائِلَةً: «دَخَلَ الْعَبْدُ الْعِبْرَانِيُّ الَّذِي جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا لِيُرَاوِدَنِي عَنْ نَفْسِي،

18 And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled.

١٨ وَحِينَ رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ، تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِي وَفَرَّ خَارِجاً».

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.

١٩ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سَيِّدُهُ كَلامَ زَوْجَتِهِ وَمَا اتَّهَمَتْ بِهِ يُوسُفَ احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُ،

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.

٢٠ فَقَبَضَ عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَزَجَّهُ فِي السِّجْنِ، حَيْثُ كَانَ أَسْرَى الْمَلِكِ مُعْتَقَلِينَ، فَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ.

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

٢١ وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَ يُوسُفَ، فَأَغْدَقَ عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَتَهُ، فَنَالَ رِضَى رَئِيسِ السِّجْنِ،

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.

٢٢ حَتَّى عَهِدَ إِلَى يُوسُفَ بِكُلِّ الْمَسَاجِينِ الْمُعْتَقَلِينَ، وَجَعَلَهُ مَسْؤولاً عَنْ كُلِّ مَا يَجْرِي هُنَاكَ.

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.

٢٣ وَلَمْ يُحَاسِبْ رَئِيسُ السِّجْنِ يُوسُفَ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَوْكَلَهُ إِلَيْهِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ. وَمَهْمَا فَعَلَ كَانَ الرَّبُّ يُكَلِّلُهُ بِالنَّجَاحِ.
