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 officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that 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
The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
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 the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
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 favour in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
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
From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he 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
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
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
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie 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, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
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, and 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
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by 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
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
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 garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran 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
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run 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
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
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
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 其衣を傍に置て主人の家に歸るを待つ
She laid up his garment by 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 spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me 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
and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran 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
When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
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 into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
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 the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
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 keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for 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 keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
