創世記 39
1 ヨセフ挈へられてエジプトにくだりしがエジプト人ポテパル、パロの臣侍衞の長なる者彼を其處にたづさへくだれるイシマエル人の手よりこれを買ふ
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.
2 ヱホバ、ヨセフとともに在す彼享通者となりてその主人なるエジプト人の家にをる
Yahweh was with Joseph and he became a prosperous man. He lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
3 その主人ヱホバの彼とともにいますを見またヱホバがかれの手の凡てなすところを享通しめたまふを見たり
His master saw that Yahweh was with him and that Yahweh prospered everything that he did.
4 是によりてヨセフ彼の心にかなひて其近侍となる彼ヨセフにその家を宰どらしめその所有を盡くその手に委たり
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.
5 彼ヨセフにその家とその有る凡の物をつかさどらせし時よりしてヱホバ、ヨセフのために其エジプト人の家を祝みたまふ即ちヱホバの祝福かれが家と田に有る凡の物におよぶ
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.
6 彼その有る物をことごとくヨセフの手にゆだねその食ふパンの外は何もかへりみざりき夫ヨセフは容貌麗しくして顏美しかりき
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.
7 これらの事の後その主人の妻ヨセフに目をつけて我と寢よといふ
It came about after this that his master's wife lusted for Joseph. She said, “Sleep with me.”
8 ヨセフ拒みて主人の妻にいひけるは視よわが主人の家の中の物をかへりみずその有るものことごとくわが手に委ぬ
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.
9 この家には我より大なるものなし又主人何をも我に禁ぜず只汝を除くのみ汝はその妻なればなり然ば我いかで此おほいなる惡をなして神に罪ををかすをえんや
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?”
10 彼日々にヨセフに言よりたれどもヨセフきかずして之といねず亦與にをらざりき
She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her or to be with her.
11 當時ヨセフその職をなさんとて家にいりしが家の人一箇もその内にをらざりき
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.
12 時に彼婦その衣を執て我といねよといひければヨセフ衣を彼の手に棄おきて外に遁いでたり
She caught him by his clothes and said, “Sleep with me.” He left his clothing in her hand, fled, and went outside.
13 彼ヨセフがその衣を己の手に棄おきて遁いでしを見て
It came about, when she saw that he had left his clothing in her hand and had fled outside,
14 その家の人々を呼てこれにいふ視よヘブル人を我等の所につれ來て我等にたはむれしむ彼我といねんとて我の所にいり來しかば我大聲によばはれり
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.
15 彼わが聲をあげて呼はるを聞しかばその衣をわが許にすておきて外に遁いでたりと
It came about when he heard me scream, that he left his clothing with me, fled, and went outside.”
16 其衣を傍に置て主人の家に歸るを待つ
She set his clothing next to her until his master came home.
17 かくて彼是言のごとく主人につげていふ汝が我らに携へきたりしヘブルの僕われにたはむれんとて我許にいりきたりしが
She told him this explanation, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us, came in to mock me.
18 我聲をあげてよばはりしかばその衣を我許にすておきて遁いでたり
It came about that when I screamed, he left his clothing with me and fled outside.”
19 主人その妻が己につげて汝の僕斯のごとく我になせりといふ言を聞て怒を發せり
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.
20 是に於てヨセフの主人彼を執へて獄にいる其獄は王の囚徒を繋ぐ所なりヨセフ彼處にて獄にをりしが
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.
21 ヱホバ、ヨセフとともに在して之に仁慈を加へ典獄の恩顧をこれにえさせたまひければ
But Yahweh was with Joseph and showed covenant faithfulness to him. He gave him favor in the sight of the prison warden.
22 典獄獄にある囚人をことごとくヨセフの手に付せたり其處になす所の事は皆ヨセフこれをなすなり
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.
23 典獄そのまかせたる所の事は何をもかへりみざりき其はヱホバ、ヨセフとともにいませばなりヱホバかれのなすところをさかえしめたまふ
The prison warden did not worry about anything that was in his hand, because Yahweh was with him. Whatever he did, Yahweh prospered.
