創世記 39
1 さてヨセフは連れられてエジプトに下ったが、パロの役人で侍衛長であったエジプトびとポテパルは、彼をそこに連れ下ったイシマエルびとらの手から買い取った。
Now, Joseph, was taken down to Egypt, —and Potiphar, courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners, an Egyptian bought him, at the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.
2 主がヨセフと共におられたので、彼は幸運な者となり、その主人エジプトびとの家におった。
And it came to pass that Yahweh, was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man, —and was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.
3 その主人は主が彼とともにおられることと、主が彼の手のすることをすべて栄えさせられるのを見た。
And his lord saw, that, Yahweh, was with him—and that whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper in his hand.
4 そこで、ヨセフは彼の前に恵みを得、そのそば近く仕えた。彼はヨセフに家をつかさどらせ、持ち物をみな彼の手にゆだねた。
So Joseph found favour in his eyes and waited upon him, —and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had, gave he into his hand.
5 彼がヨセフに家とすべての持ち物をつかさどらせた時から、主はヨセフのゆえにそのエジプトびとの家を恵まれたので、主の恵みは彼の家と畑とにあるすべての持ち物に及んだ。
And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian, for Joseph’s sake, —yea it came to pass, that the blessing of Yahweh, was with all that he had, in the house and in the field;
6 そこで彼は持ち物をみなヨセフの手にゆだねて、自分が食べる物のほかは、何をも顧みなかった。さてヨセフは姿がよく、顔が美しかった。
so that he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and took note with him of nothing, save only the bread which, he himself, was eating. And so it was that Joseph was comely in form and comely in countenance.
7 これらの事の後、主人の妻はヨセフに目をつけて言った、「わたしと寝なさい」。
And it came to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, —and she said—Come! lie with me.
8 ヨセフは拒んで、主人の妻に言った、「御主人はわたしがいるので家の中の何をも顧みず、その持ち物をみなわたしの手にゆだねられました。
And he refused and said unto his lord’s wife, Lo! my lord, taketh no note with me as to what is in the house, —but, all that pertaineth to him, hath he delivered into my hand:
9 この家にはわたしよりも大いなる者はありません。また御主人はあなたを除いては、何をもわたしに禁じられませんでした。あなたが御主人の妻であるからです。どうしてわたしはこの大きな悪をおこなって、神に罪を犯すことができましょう」。
There is no one greater in this house than I, neither hath he withheld from me anything, save only thyself in that thou, art his wife, —how, then could I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 彼女は毎日ヨセフに言い寄ったけれども、ヨセフは聞きいれず、彼女と寝なかった。また共にいなかった。
And it came to pass, that although she Spake unto Joseph day after day, yet hearkened he not unto her to lie beside her to be with her.
11 ある日ヨセフが務をするために家にはいった時、家の者がひとりもそこにいなかったので、
And it came to pass, when, on a certain day, he went into the house to attend to his business, —and there was no man of the household, there in the house,
12 彼女はヨセフの着物を捕えて、「わたしと寝なさい」と言った。ヨセフは着物を彼女の手に残して外にのがれ出た。
that she caught him by his garment, saying—Come! lie with me. Then left he his garment in her hand, and fled and gat forth outside,
13 彼女はヨセフが着物を自分の手に残して外にのがれたのを見て、
And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, —and fled forth outside,
14 その家の者どもを呼び、彼らに告げて言った、「主人がわたしたちの所に連れてきたヘブルびとは、わたしたちに戯れます。彼はわたしと寝ようとして、わたしの所にはいったので、わたしは大声で叫びました。
that she cried out to the men of her house and spake to them, saying, Look ye! he hath brought in to us a Hebrew man to insult us, —He came in unto me, to lie with me, so I cried out with a loud voice.
15 彼はわたしが声をあげて叫ぶのを聞くと、着物をわたしの所に残して外にのがれ出ました」。
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted high my voice, and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled and gat forth outside.
16 彼女はその着物をかたわらに置いて、主人の帰って来るのを待った。
So she laid by his garment beside her, —until his lord should come into his house,
17 そして彼女は次のように主人に告げた、「あなたがわたしたちに連れてこられたヘブルのしもべはわたしに戯れようとして、わたしの所にはいってきました。
Then spake she unto him, according to these words, saying, —He hath been in unto me—the Hebrew servant whom thou didst bring in to us—to insult me.
18 わたしが声をあげて叫んだので、彼は着物をわたしの所に残して外にのがれました」。
And it came to pass when I lifted high my voice and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled outside.
19 主人はその妻が「あなたのしもべは、わたしにこんな事をした」と告げる言葉を聞いて、激しく怒った。
And it came to pass, when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spake unto him saying, According to these words, hath thy servant done to me, Then was kindled his anger.
20 そしてヨセフの主人は彼を捕えて、王の囚人をつなぐ獄屋に投げ入れた。こうしてヨセフは獄屋の中におったが、
So Joseph’s lord took him and delivered him up to the prison: the place where, the prisoners of the king, were imprisoned, —so he was there, in the prison.
21 主はヨセフと共におられて彼にいつくしみを垂れ、獄屋番の恵みをうけさせられた。
And it came to pass that, Yahweh, was with Joseph, and extended unto him lovingkindness, —and gave him his favour in the eyes of the chief of the prison.
22 獄屋番は獄屋におるすべての囚人をヨセフの手にゆだねたので、彼はそこでするすべての事をおこなった。
So the chief of the prison delivered up, into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison, —and of all that was doing there, he, was the doer.
23 獄屋番は彼の手にゆだねた事はいっさい顧みなかった。主がヨセフと共におられたからである。主は彼のなす事を栄えさせられた。
After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand, —in that Yahweh, was with him, and whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.
