Postanak 39
1 A Josifa odvedoše u Misir; i Petefrije dvoranin Faraonov, zapovjednik stražarski, èovjek Misirac, kupi ga od Ismailjaca, koji ga odvedoše onamo.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
2 I Gospod bješe s Josifom, te bi sreæan, i življaše u kuæi gospodara svojega Misirca.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 I gospodar njegov vidje da je Gospod s njim i da sve što radi Gospod vodi u napredak u ruci njegovoj.
And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 I Josif steèe milost u njega, i dvoraše ga; a najposlije postavi ga nad cijelijem domom svojim, i što god imaše njemu dade u ruke.
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand.
5 A kad ga postavi nad domom svojim i nad svijem što imaše, od tada Gospod blagoslovi dom toga Misirca radi Josifa; i blagoslov Gospodnji bješe na svemu što imaše u kuæi i u polju.
And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6 I ostavi u Josifovijem rukama sve što imaše, i ne razbiraše ni za što osim jela koje jeðaše. A Josif bijaše lijepa stasa i lijepa lica.
And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was [a] goodly [person], and well favoured.
7 I dogodi se poslije, te se žena gospodara njegova zagleda u Josifa, i reèe: lezi sa mnom.
And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8 A on ne htje, nego reèe ženi gospodara svojega: eto gospodar moj ne razbira ni za što što je u kuæi, nego što god ima dade meni u ruke.
But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9 Ni sam nije veæi od mene u ovoj kuæi, i ništa ne krije od mene osim tebe, jer si mu žena; pa kako bih uèinio tako grdno zlo i Bogu zgriješio?
[There is] none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou [art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 I ona govoraše take rijeèi Josifu svaki dan, ali je ne posluša da legne s njom ni da se bavi kod nje.
And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.
11 A jedan dan kad doðe Josif u kuæu da radi svoj posao, a ne bješe nikoga od domašnjih u kuæi,
And it came to pass about this time, that [Joseph] went into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of the house there within.
12 Ona ga uhvati za haljinu govoreæi: lezi sa mnom. Ali on ostaviv joj u rukama haljinu svoju pobježe i otide.
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13 A kad ona vidje gdje joj ostavi u rukama haljinu svoju i pobježe,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14 Viknu èeljad svoju, i reèe im govoreæi: gledajte, doveo nam je èovjeka Jevrejina da nas sramoti; doðe k meni da legne sa mnom, a ja povikah iza glasa;
That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15 A on kad èu gdje vièem, ostavi haljinu svoju kod mene i pobježe i otide.
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
16 I ona ostavi haljinu njegovu kod sebe dok mu gospodar doðe kuæi.
And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
17 A tada mu reèe ovako govoreæi: sluga Jevrejin, kojega si nam doveo, doðe k meni da me osramoti;
And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
18 A ja povikah iza glasa, te on ostaviv haljinu svoju kod mene pobježe.
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19 A kad gospodar njegov èu rijeèi žene svoje gdje mu reèe: to mi je uèinio sluga tvoj, razgnjevi se vrlo.
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20 I gospodar Josifov uhvati ga, i baci ga u tamnicu, gdje ležahu sužnji carski; i bi ondje u tamnici.
And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners [were] bound: and he was there in the prison.
21 Ali Gospod bješe s Josifom i raširi milost svoju nad njim i uèini te omilje tamnièaru.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 I povjeri tamnièar Josifu sve sužnje u tamnici, i što je god trebalo ondje èiniti on ureðivaše.
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer [of it].
23 I tamnièar ne nadgledaše ništa što bješe u Josifovoj ruci, jer Gospod bješe s njim; i što god èinjaše, Gospod voðaše u napredak.
The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and [that] which he did, the LORD made [it] to prosper.
