Бытие 39
1 Иосиф же приведен бысть во Египет. И купи его Пентефрий евнух фараонов архимагир, муж Египтянин, от рук Исмаилтян, иже приведоша его тамо.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.
2 И бяше Господь со Иосифом: и бяше муж благополучен, и бысть в дому господина своего Египтянина.
And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
3 Ведяше же господин его, яко Господь бе с ним, и елика творит, Господь благоустрояет в руку его.
And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
4 И обрете Иосиф благодать пред господином своим и благоугоди ему: и постави его над домом своим, и вся, елика быша ему, даде в руки Иосифовы.
And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
5 Бысть же егда постави его над домом своим и над всеми, елика имеяше, и благослови Господь дом Египтянина Иосифа ради: и бысть благословение Господне на всем имении его в дому и в селех его.
And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.
6 И предаде вся, елика быша ему, в руки Иосифовы: и не ведяше от сущих у себе ничтоже, кроме хлеба, егоже ядяше сам: и бяше Иосиф добр образом и красен взором зело.
And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
7 И бысть по словесех сих, и возложи жена господина его очи своя на Иосифа и рече: пребуди со мною.
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.
8 Он же не хотяше и рече жене господина своего: аще господин мой не весть мене ради ничтоже в дому своем, и вся, елика суть ему, вдаде в руце мои,
But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
9 и ничто есть выше мене в дому сем, ниже изято бысть от мене чтолибо, кроме тебе, понеже ты жена ему еси: и како сотворю глагол злый сей и согрешу пред Богом?
and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
10 Егда же Иосифу глаголаше день от дне, и не послушаше ея еже спати и быти с нею.
And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
11 Бысть же сицевый некий день, и вниде Иосиф в дом делати дела своя, и никтоже бяше от сущих в дому внутрь:
it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
12 и ухвати его за ризы, глаголющи: лязи со мною. И оставив ризы своя в руках ея, убеже и изыде вон.
And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
13 И бысть егда виде, яко оставль ризы своя в руках ея, бежа и изыде вон:
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
14 и воззва сущих в дому и рече им глаголющи: видите, введе нам отрока Евреина наругатися нам: вниде ко мне, глаголя: преспи со мною: и возопих гласом великим:
that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 и егда услыша он, яко возвысих глас мой и возопих, оставль ризы своя у мене, отбеже и изыде вон.
And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
16 И удержа ризы у себе, дондеже прииде господин в дом свой.
So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
17 И поведа ему по словесех сих, глаголющи: вниде ко мне отрок Евреин, егоже ввел еси к нам, поругатися мне, и рече ми: да буду с тобою:
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
18 егда же услыша, яко воздвигох глас мой и возопих, оставль ризы своя у мене, отбеже и изыде вон.
And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
19 И бысть егда услыша господин его глаголы жены своея, елика рече к нему, глаголющи: сице сотвори ми отрок твой: и разгневася яростию,
And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
20 и взем господин Иосифа, вверже его в темницу, в место, идеже узники царевы держатся тамо в твердыни.
And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
21 И бяше Господь со Иосифом, и возлия на него милость, и даде ему благодать пред началным стражем темничным:
And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.
22 и вдаде старейшина стражей темницу в руце Иосифу и всех вверженых в темницу: и вся, елика творяху тамо, той бе творяй.
And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.
23 Старейшина же стражей темничных ничтоже бе ведый его ради: вся бо быша в руках Иосифовых, занеже Господь бяше с ним: и елика той творяше, Господь благопоспешаше в руку его.
Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
