< 창세기 39 >

1 요셉이 이끌려 애굽에 내려가매 바로의 신하 시위대장 애굽사람 보디발이 그를 그리로 데려간 이스마엘 사람의 손에서 그를 사니라
Meanwhile, Joseph was led into Egypt. And Putiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, a leader of the army, an Egyptian man, purchased him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, by whom he was brought.
2 여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하시므로 그가 형통한 자가 되어 그 주인 애굽 사람의 집에 있으니
And the Lord was with him, and he was a man who prospered in everything that he did. And he lived in the house of his lord,
3 그 주인이 여호와께서 그와 함께하심을 보며 또 여호와께서 그의 범사에 형통케 하심을 보았더라
who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and that all the things that were done by him were directed by his hand.
4 요셉이 그 주인에게 은혜를 입어 섬기매 그가 요셉으로 가정 총무를 삼고 자기 소유를 다 그 손에 위임하니
And Joseph found favor in the sight of his lord, and he ministered to him. And, having been placed in charge of everything by him, he governed the house that was entrusted to him and all the things that had been delivered to him.
5 그가 요셉에게 자기 집과 그 모든 소유물을 주관하게 한 때부터 여호와께서 요셉을 위하여 그 애굽 사람의 집에 복을 내리시므로 여호와의 복이 그의 집과 밭에 있는 모든 소유에 미친지라
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian, because of Joseph, and he multiplied all his substance, as much in the buildings, as in the fields.
6 주인이 그 소유를 다 요셉의 손에 위임하고 자기 식료 외에는 간섭하지 아니하였더라 요셉은 용모가 준수하고 아담하였더라
Neither did he know anything other than the bread that he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form, and stately in appearance.
7 그 후에 그 주인의 처가 요셉에게 눈짓하다가 동침하기를 청하니
And so, after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Sleep with me.”
8 요셉이 거절하며 자기 주인의 처에게 이르되 `나의 주인이 가중 제반 소유를 간섭지 아니하고 다 내 손에 위임하였으니
And without consenting at all to the wicked act, he said to her: “Behold, my lord has delivered all things to me, and he does not know what he has in his own house.
9 이 집에는 나보다 큰 이가 없으며 주인이 아무 것도 내게 금하지 아니하였어도 금한 것은 당신뿐이니 당신은 자기 아내임이라 그런즉 내가 어찌 이 큰 악을 행하여 하나님께 득죄하리이까?'
Neither is there anything which is not in my power, or that he has not delivered to me, except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this evil act and sin against my God?”
10 여인이 날마다 요셉에게 청하였으나 요셉이 듣지 아니하여 동침하지 아니할 뿐더러 함께 있지도 아니하니라
With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.
11 그러할 때에 요셉이 시무하러 그 집에 들어갔더니 그 집 사람은 하나도 거기 없었더라
Then it happened, on a certain day, that Joseph entered the house, and he was doing something, without any witnesses.
12 그 여인이 그 옷을 잡고 가로되 `나와 동침하자' 요셉이 자기 옷을 그 손에 버리고 도망하여 나가매
And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, “Sleep with me.” But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.
13 그가 요셉이 그 옷을 자기 손에 버려두고 도망하여 나감을 보고
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,
14 집 사람들을 불러서 그들에게 이르되 `보라, 주인이 히브리 사람을 우리에게 데려다가 우리를 희롱하게 하도다 그가 나를 겁간코자 내게로 들어오기로 내가 크게 소리 질렀더니
she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: “Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,
15 그가 나의 소리질러 부름을 듣고 그 옷을 내게 버려두고 도망하여 나갔느니라' 하고
and he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
16 그 옷을 곁에 두고 자기 주인이 집으로 돌아오기를 기다려
As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.
17 이 말로 그에게 고하여 가로되 `당신이 우리에게 데려온 히브리 종이 나를 희롱코자 내게로 들어 왔기로
And she said: “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.
18 내가 소리질러 불렀더니 그가 그 옷을 내게 버려두고 도망하여 나갔나이다'
And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
19 주인이 그 아내가 자기에게 고하기를 `당신의 종이 내게 이같이 행하였다' 하는 말을 듣고 심히 노한지라
His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.
20 이에 요셉의 주인이 그를 잡아 옥에 넣으니 그 옥은 왕의 죄수를 가두는 곳이었더라 요셉이 옥에 갇혔으나
And he delivered Joseph into prison, where the prisoners of the king were kept, and he was enclosed in that place.
21 여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하시고 그에게 인자를 더하사 전옥에게 은혜를 받게 하시매
But the Lord was with Joseph, and, having mercy on him, he gave him favor in the sight of the leader of the prison,
22 전옥이 옥중 죄수를 다 요셉의 손에 맡기므로 그 제반 사무를 요셉이 처리하고
who delivered into his hand all the prisoners who were held in custody. And whatever was done, was under him.
23 전옥은 그의 손에 맡긴 것을 무엇이든지 돌아보지 아니하였으니 이는 여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하심이라 여호와께서 그의 범사에 형통케 하셨더라
Neither did he himself know anything, having entrusted all things to him. For the Lord was with him, and he directed everything that he did.
