پیدایش 39
| و اما یوسف به دست تاجران اسماعیلی به مصر برده شد. فوطیفار که یکی از افسران فرعون و رئیس نگهبانان دربار بود، او را از ایشان خرید. | 1 |
Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
| خداوند با یوسف بود و او را در خانهٔ اربابش بسیار برکت داد، به طوری که آنچه یوسف می‌کرد موفقیت‌آمیز بود. | 2 |
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
| فوطیفار متوجۀ این موضوع شده و دریافته بود که خداوند با یوسف است و در هر آنچه می‌کند، خداوند او را کامیاب می‌سازد. | 3 |
And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
| از این رو یوسف مورد لطف اربابش قرار گرفت. طولی نکشید که فوطیفار او را ناظر خانه و کلیه امور تجاری خود ساخت. | 4 |
So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.
| خداوند فوطیفار را به خاطر یوسف برکت داد به‌طوری که تمام امور خانهٔ او به خوبی پیش می‌رفت و محصولاتش فراوان و گله‌هایش زیاد می‌شد. | 5 |
And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
| پس فوطیفار مسئولیت ادارهٔ تمام اموال خود را به دست یوسف سپرد و دیگر او برای هیچ چیز فکر نمی‌کرد جز این که چه غذایی بخورد. یوسف جوانی خوش‌اندام و خوش‌قیافه بود. | 6 |
So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
| پس از مدتی، نظر همسر فوطیفار به یوسف جلب شد و از او خواست تا با وی همبستر شود. | 7 |
And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me."
| اما یوسف نپذیرفت و گفت: «اربابم آنقدر به من اعتماد دارد که هر آنچه در این خانه است به من سپرده | 8 |
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.
| و تمام اختیار این خانه را به من داده است. او چیزی را از من مضایقه نکرده جز تو را که همسر او هستی. پس چگونه مرتکب چنین عمل زشتی بشوم؟ این عمل، گناهی است بزرگ نسبت به خدا.» | 9 |
There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, and sin against God?"
| اما او دست بردار نبود و هر روز از یوسف می‌خواست که با وی همبستر شود. ولی یوسف به سخنان فریبندۀ او گوش نمی‌داد و تا آنجا که امکان داشت از وی دوری می‌کرد. | 10 |
And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her.
| روزی یوسف طبق معمول به کارهای منزل رسیدگی می‌کرد. آن روز کسی دیگر هم در خانه نبود. | 11 |
Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
| پس آن زن چنگ به لباس او انداخته، گفت: «با من همبستر شو!» ولی یوسف از چنگ او گریخت و از منزل خارج شد، اما لباسش در دست وی باقی ماند. | 12 |
She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
| آن زن چون وضع را چنین دید، | 13 |
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
| با صدای بلند فریاد زده، خدمتکاران را به کمک طلبید و به آنها گفت: «شوهرم این غلام عبرانی را به خانه آورده، حالا او ما را رسوا می‌سازد! او به اتاقم آمد تا به من تجاوز کند، ولی فریاد زدم. | 14 |
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
| وقتی شنید که فریاد می‌زنم، لباسش را جا گذاشت و فرار کرد.» | 15 |
It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
| پس آن زن لباس او را نزد خود نگاه داشت و وقتی شوهرش به منزل آمد | 16 |
She left his garment by her, until his master came home.
| داستانی را که ساخته بود، برایش چنین تعریف کرد: «آن غلامِ عبرانی که به خانه آورده‌ای می‌خواست به من تجاوز کند، | 17 |
And she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'
| ولی من با داد و فریاد، خود را از دستش نجات دادم. او گریخت، ولی لباسش را جا گذاشت.» | 18 |
But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
| فوطیفار چون سخنان زنش را شنید، بسیار خشمگین شد | 19 |
And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.
| و یوسف را به زندانی که سایر زندانیان پادشاه در آن در زنجیر بودند، انداخت. | 20 |
Then 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 prison.
| اما در آنجا هم خداوند با یوسف بود و او را برکت می‌داد و وی را مورد لطف رئیس زندان قرار داد. | 21 |
But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
| طولی نکشید که رئیس زندان، یوسف را مسئول ادارهٔ زندان نمود، به‌طوری که همهٔ زندانیان زیر نظر او بودند و او بر همۀ امور نظارت می‌کرد. | 22 |
The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.
| رئیس زندان در مورد کارهایی که به یوسف سپرده بود نگرانی نداشت، زیرا خداوند با یوسف بود و او را در انجام کارهایش موفق می‌ساخت. | 23 |
The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
