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, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither.
2 И Господ беше с Јосифом, те би срећан, и живеше у кући господара свог Мисирца.
And the LORD 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 the LORD was with him, and that the LORD 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 sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put 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 that he appointed 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 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, having him, he knew not aught save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was of beautiful form, and fair to look upon.
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 upon Joseph; and she 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 unto his master's wife: 'Behold, my master, having me, knoweth not what is in the house, and he hath put all that he hath 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?
he is not 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 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, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or 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,
And it came to pass on a certain day, when he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there within,
12 Она га ухвати за хаљину говорећи: Лези са мном. Али он оставивши јој у рукама хаљину своју побеже и отиде.
that 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 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 was 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 unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying: 'See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto 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 by me, and fled, and got him out.'
16 И она остави хаљину његову код себе док му господар дође кући.
And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 А тада му рече овако говорећи: Слуга Јеврејин, кога си нам довео, дође к мени да ме осрамоти;
And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying: 'The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto 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 by 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.
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying: 'After this manner did thy servant 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 master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound; and he was there in the prison.
21 Али Господ беше с Јосифом и рашири милост своју над њим и учини те омиле тамничару.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper 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 Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
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 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.
