2 fuitque Dominus cum eo et erat vir in cunctis prospere agens habitabatque in domo domini sui
And the LORde was with Ioseph and he was a luckie felowe and continued in the house of his master the Egiptian.
3 qui optime noverat esse Dominum cum eo et omnia quae gereret ab eo dirigi in manu illius
And his master sawe that the ORde was with him and that the LORde made all that he dyd prosper in his hande:
4 invenitque Ioseph gratiam coram domino suo et ministrabat ei a quo praepositus omnibus gubernabat creditam sibi domum et universa quae tradita fuerant
Wherfore he founde grace in his masters syghte and serued him. And his master made him ruelar of his house and put all that he had in his hande.

6 nec quicquam aliud noverat nisi panem quo vescebatur erat autem Ioseph pulchra facie et decorus aspectu
And therfore he left all that he had in Iosephs hande and loked vpon nothinge that was with him saue only on the bread which he ate. And Ioseph was a goodly persone and a well favored
7 post multos itaque dies iecit domina oculos suos in Ioseph et ait dormi mecum
And it fortuned after this that his masters wife cast hir eyes vpon Ioseph and sayde come lye with me.
8 qui nequaquam adquiescens operi nefario dixit ad eam ecce dominus meus omnibus mihi traditis ignorat quid habeat in domo sua
But he denyed and sayde to her: Beholde my master woteth not what he hath in the house with me but hath commytted all that he hath to my hande
9 nec quicquam est quod non in mea sit potestate vel non tradiderit mihi praeter te quae uxor eius es quomodo ergo possum malum hoc facere et peccare in Deum meum
He him selfe is not greatter in the house than I ad hath kepte nothige fro me but only the because thou art his wife. How than cam I do this great wykydnes for to synne agaynst God?
10 huiuscemodi verbis per singulos dies et mulier molesta erat adulescenti et ille recusabat stuprum
And after this maner spake she to Ioseph daye by daye: but he harkened not vnto her to slepe nere her or to be in her company.
11 accidit autem ut quadam die intraret Ioseph domum et operis quippiam absque arbitris faceret
And it fortuned aboute the same season that Ioseph entred in to the house to do his busynes: and there was none of the houshold by in the house.
12 et illa adprehensa lacinia vestimenti eius diceret dormi mecum qui relicto in manu illius pallio fugit et egressus est foras

13 cumque vidisset mulier vestem in manibus suis et se esse contemptam
when she sawe that he had left his garmet in hir hande and was fled out
14 vocavit homines domus suae et ait ad eos en introduxit virum hebraeum ut inluderet nobis ingressus est ad me ut coiret mecum cumque ego succlamassem
she called vnto the men of the house and tolde them saynge: Se he hath brought in an Hebrewe vnto vs to do vs shame. for he came in to me for to haue slept myth me. But I cried with a lowde voyce.
15 et audisset vocem meam reliquit pallium quod tenebam et fugit foras
