1 Мојсијева 39
1 А Јосифа одведоше у Мисир; и Петефрије дворанин Фараонов, заповедник стражарски, човек Мисирац, купи га од Исмаиљаца, који га одведоше онамо.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
2 И Господ беше с Јосифом, те би срећан, и живеше у кући господара свог Мисирца.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 И господар његов виде да је Господ с њим и да све што ради Господ води у напредак у руци његовој.
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 И Јосиф стече милост у њега, и двораше га; а најпосле постави га над целим домом својим, и шта год имаше њему даде у руке.
And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
5 А кад га постави над домом својим и над свим што имаше, од тада Господ благослови дом тога Мисирца ради Јосифа; и благослов Господњи беше на свему што имаше у кући и у пољу.
And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
6 И остави у Јосифовим рукама све што имаше, и не разбираше низашта осим јела које јеђаше. А Јосиф беше лепог стаса и лепог лица.
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
7 И догоди се после, те се жена господара његовог загледа у Јосифа, и рече: Лези са мном.
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
8 А он не хте, него рече жени господара свог: Ето господар мој не разбира низашта шта је у кући, него шта год има даде мени у руке.
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
9 Ни сам није већи од мене у овој кући, и ништа не крије од мене осим тебе, јер си му жена; па како бих учинио тако грдно зло и Богу згрешио?
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 И она говораше такве речи Јосифу сваки дан, али је не послуша да легне с њом ни да се бави код ње.
And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
11 А један дан кад дође Јосиф у кућу да ради свој посао, а не беше никога од домашњих у кући,
that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
12 Она га ухвати за хаљину говорећи: Лези са мном. Али он оставивши јој у рукама хаљину своју побеже и отиде.
Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
13 А кад она виде где јој остави у рукама хаљину своју и побеже,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
14 Викну чељад своју, и рече им говорећи: Гледајте, довео нам је човека Јеврејина да нас срамоти; дође к мени да легне са мном, а ја повиках гласно;
that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;
15 А он кад чу где вичем, остави хаљину своју код мене и побеже и отиде.
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 went out.
16 И она остави хаљину његову код себе док му господар дође кући.
And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 А тада му рече овако говорећи: Слуга Јеврејин, кога си нам довео, дође к мени да ме осрамоти;
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
18 А ја повиках гласно, те он остави хаљину своју код мене и побеже.
and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
19 А кад господар његов чу речи жене своје где му рече: То ми је учинио слуга твој, разгневи се врло.
And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
20 И господар Јосифов ухвати га, и баци га у тамницу, где лежаху сужњи царски: и би онде у тамници.
And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
21 Али Господ беше с Јосифом и рашири милост своју над њим и учини те омиле тамничару.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
22 И повери тамничар Јосифу све сужње у тамници, и шта је год требало онде чинити он уређиваше.
And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
23 И тамничар не надгледаше ништа што беше у Јосифовој руци, јер Господ беше с њим; и шта год чињаше, Господ вођаше у напредак.
The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
