Pirmā Mozus 39
1 Un Jāzeps tapa novests uz Ēģipti, un Potifars, Faraona kambarjunkurs un sargu virsnieks, viens ēģiptiešu vīrs, to nopirka no to Ismaēliešu rokas, kas to uz turieni bija noveduši.
Meanwhile, the descendants of Ishmael took Joseph down to Egypt. There Potiphar bought Joseph from them. Potiphar was an Egyptian who was one of the king’s officials and the captain of the king’s (palace guards/guards who protected the king).
2 Un Tas Kungs bija ar Jāzepu, tā ka tam viss laimīgi izdevās, un tas bija sava kunga, tā ēģiptieša, namā.
Because Yahweh helped Joseph, he was able to do his work very well, and lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
3 Un viņa kungs redzēja, ka Tas Kungs bija ar viņu, un ka Tas Kungs visiem darbiem labi lika izdoties caur viņa roku.
His master saw that Yahweh was helping Joseph and enabling him to be successful in everything that he did.
4 Tad Jāzeps atrada žēlastību viņa priekšā un viņam kalpoja, un viņš to iecēla pār savu namu, un deva viņa rokā visu, kas tam piederēja.
Joseph’s master was pleased with him, so he appointed him to be his personal servant. Then he appointed him to be the one who would take care of everything in his household and all of his possessions.
5 Un no tā laika, kad viņš to bija cēlis pār savu namu un pār visu, kas viņam piederēja, Tas Kungs svētīja tā ēģiptieša namu Jāzepa labad, un Tā Kunga svētība bija visās lietās, kas viņam piederēja, sētā un laukā.
From the time Potiphar appointed Joseph to take care of everything in his household and all that he owned, Yahweh blessed the people who lived in Potiphar’s house because of Joseph. He also caused Potiphar’s crops to grow well.
6 Un visu, kas tam piederēja, viņš nodeva Jāzepa rokās, un negādāja pats par neko, kā vien par to maizi, ko ēda. Un Jāzeps bija skaists no auguma un skaists no ģīmja.
Potiphar allowed Joseph to take care of everything that he owned. Potiphar needed to decide only about the food he ate. He was not concerned about anything else in his house. Joseph was well-built/muscular and handsome.
7 Un notikās pēc šīm lietām, ka viņa kunga sieva savas acis uzmeta uz Jāzepu un sacīja: guli pie manis.
Because of that, after a while, his master’s wife started to look fondly at Joseph. So one day she said to him, “Have sex [EUP] with me!”
8 Bet viņš liedzās un sacīja uz sava kunga sievu: redzi, mans kungs negādā par neko, kas ir namā, un visu, kas viņam pieder, viņš ir devis manā rokā.
But he refused, saying to his master’s wife, “Listen! My master is not concerned about anything in this house. He has appointed me to take care of everything that he owns.
9 Neviens šinī namā nav lielāks pār mani, un viņš man neko nav aizliedzis, bez vien tevi, tāpēc ka tu esi viņa sieva; kā tad lai es tādu lielu ļaunumu daru un pret Dievu grēkoju?
No one in this household has more authority than I do. The only thing that he has not allowed me to have is you, because you are his wife! So (how could I do this wicked thing [that you are asking me to do]?/I certainly could not do this wicked thing!) [RHQ] I would be sinning against God if I did that!”
10 Un kad viņa ikdienas to uz Jāzepu runāja, un tas viņai nepaklausīja, ka pie viņas būtu gulējis un ap viņu bijis,
She kept on asking Joseph day after day to have sex [EUP] with her, but he refused. He would not even go near her.
11 Tad notikās kādā dienā Jāzepam namā nākot savu darbu padarīt, un no nama ļaudīm nevienam mājās neesot,
One day Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the other household servants were in the house.
12 Ka tā viņu sagrāba pie drēbēm un sacīja: guli pie manis. Bet tas pameta savas drēbes viņas rokā un izbēga un izgāja ārā.
Potiphar’s wife grabbed his cloak and said, “Have sex [EUP] with me!” Joseph ran out of the house, but his cloak was still in her hand!
13 Kad nu tā redzēja, ka tas savas drēbes viņas rokā bija pametis un izbēdzis ārā,
When she saw that he had run outside leaving his cloak in her hand,
14 Tad tā sasauca savu saimi un runāja uz tiem un sacīja: raugāt, viņš to Ebreju vīru pie mums ir atvedis mūs apsmiet; tas nāca pie manis gulēt un es brēcu visā galvā(skaļā balsī).
she called the household servants. She said to them, “Look! This Hebrew man that my husband brought to us is (insulting/trying to do something disgraceful to) us! He came into my room and tried to (rape me/make me have sex [EUP] with him), but I screamed loudly.
15 Un kad tas dzirdēja, ka es savu balsi pacēlu un brēcu, tad tas pameta savas drēbes pie manis un aizbēga un izmuka ārā.
As soon as he heard me scream loudly, he left his loincloth with me and ran outside!”
16 Un tā lika viņa drēbes sev līdzās, kamēr viņas kungs pārnāca mājā; tad tā uz viņu runāja pēc šiem vārdiem
She kept the loincloth beside her until her husband, Joseph’s master, came home.
17 Un sacīja: tas Ebreju kalps, ko tu mums esi atvedis, nāca pie manis, mani apsmiet.
Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me!
18 Un kad es savu balsi pacēlu un brēcu, tad tas pameta savas drēbes pie manis un izbēga ārā.
As soon as I screamed loudly, he ran outside, leaving me holding his loincloth!”
19 Un kad viņa kungs dzirdēja savas sievas vārdus, kā tā uz viņu bija runājusi sacīdama: tā un tā man tavs kalps darījis, tad viņa kungs apskaitās ļoti.
When Joseph’s master heard this story that his wife told him, saying “This is how your slave treated me,” he was very angry.
20 Un Jāzepa kungs to ņēma un to ielika cietuma namā, tanī vietā, kur ķēniņa cietuma ļaudis tapa apsargāti; un viņš bija tur cietuma namā.
Joseph’s master took Joseph and put him in prison, the place where all the king’s prisoners were put, and Joseph stayed there.
21 Bet Tas Kungs bija ar Jāzepu, un tam parādīja apžēlošanu un tam lika atrast žēlastību cietuma sarga priekšā.
But Yahweh was kind to Joseph and helped him, and caused the (prison warden/man who was in charge of the prison) to be pleased with him.
22 Un cietuma sargs deva Jāzepa rokā visus cietuma ļaudis, kas cietuma namā bija, un viss, kas tur bija jādara, to viņš darīja.
So the prison warden put Joseph in charge of all those who were in the prison, and in charge of all the work that was done there.
23 Cietuma sargs neraudzīja ne uz vienu lietu, kas bija viņa rokā, jo Tas Kungs bija ar viņu, un ko vien viņš darīja, tam Tas Kungs lika labi izdoties.
The warden was not concerned with anything that Joseph was taking care of, because Yahweh helped Joseph to do well everything that he did.
