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.

Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither.

2 И Господ беше с Јосифом, те би срећан, и живеше у кући господара свог Мисирца.

And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and 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 sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.

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.

So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in 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 from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde.

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.

Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured.

7 И догоди се после, те се жена господара његовог загледа у Јосифа, и рече: Лези са мном.

Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye 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 masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande.

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 no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne 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 albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.

11 А један дан кад дође Јосиф у кућу да ради свој посао, а не беше никога од домашњих у кући,

Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold in the house:

12 Она га ухвати за хаљину говорећи: Лези са мном. Али он оставивши јој у рукама хаљину своју побеже и отиде.

Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out.

13 А кад она виде где јој остави у рукама хаљину своју и побеже,

Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,

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;

She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce.

15 А он кад чу где вичем, остави хаљину своју код мене и побеже и отиде.

And when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.

16 И она остави хаљину његову код себе док му господар дође кући.

So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.

17 А тада му рече овако говорећи: Слуга Јеврејин, кога си нам довео, дође к мени да ме осрамоти;

Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me.

18 А ја повиках гласно, те он остави хаљину своју код мене и побеже.

But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.

19 А кад господар његов чу речи жене своје где му рече: То ми је учинио слуга твој, разгневи се врло.

Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled.

20 И господар Јосифов ухвати га, и баци га у тамницу, где лежаху сужњи царски: и би онде у тамници.

And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.

21 Али Господ беше с Јосифом и рашири милост своју над њим и учини те омиле тамничару.

But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.

22 И повери тамничар Јосифу све сужње у тамници, и шта је год требало онде чинити он уређиваше.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.

23 И тамничар не надгледаше ништа што беше у Јосифовој руци, јер Господ беше с њим; и шта год чињаше, Господ вођаше у напредак.

And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
