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.
Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh who was captain of the guard and an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
2 И бяше Господь со Иосифом: и бяше муж благополучен, и бысть в дому господина своего Египтянина.
Yahweh was with Joseph and he became a prosperous man. He lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
3 Ведяше же господин его, яко Господь бе с ним, и елика творит, Господь благоустрояет в руку его.
His master saw that Yahweh was with him and that Yahweh prospered everything that he did.
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.
Joseph found favor in his sight. He served Potiphar. Potiphar made Joseph manager over his house, and everything that he possessed, he put under his care.
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.
It came about from the time that he made him manager over his house and over everything he possessed, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph. The blessing of Yahweh was on everything that Potiphar had in the house and in the 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.
Potiphar put everything that he had under Joseph's care. He did not have to think about anything except the food that he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and attractive.
7 И бысть по словесех сих, и возложи жена господина его очи своя на Иосифа и рече: пребуди со мною.
It came about after this that his master's wife lusted for Joseph. She said, “Sleep 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 refused and said to his master's wife, “Look, my master does not pay attention to what I do in the house, and he has put everything that he owns under my care.
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?
No one is greater in this house than I am. He has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”
10 Егда же Иосифу глаголаше день от дне, и не послушаше ея еже спати и быти с нею.
She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her or 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 about one day that he went into the house to do his work. None of the men of the house were there in the house.
12 и ухвати его за ризы, глаголющи: лязи со мною. И оставив ризы своя в руках ея, убеже и изыде вон.
She caught him by his clothes and said, “Sleep with me.” He left his clothing in her hand, fled, and went outside.
13 И бысть егда виде, яко оставль ризы своя в руках ея, бежа и изыде вон:
It came about, when she saw that he had left his clothing in her hand and had fled outside,
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 to the men of her house and told them, “See, Potiphar has brought in a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I screamed.
15 и егда услыша он, яко возвысих глас мой и возопих, оставль ризы своя у мене, отбеже и изыде вон.
It came about when he heard me scream, that he left his clothing with me, fled, and went outside.”
16 И удержа ризы у себе, дондеже прииде господин в дом свой.
She set his clothing next to her until his master came home.
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:
She told him this explanation, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us, came in to mock me.
18 егда же услыша, яко воздвигох глас мой и возопих, оставль ризы своя у мене, отбеже и изыде вон.
It came about that when I screamed, he left his clothing with me and fled outside.”
19 И бысть егда услыша господин его глаголы жены своея, елика рече к нему, глаголющи: сице сотвори ми отрок твой: и разгневася яростию,
It came about that, when his master heard the explanation his wife told him, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became very angry.
20 и взем господин Иосифа, вверже его в темницу, в место, идеже узники царевы держатся тамо в твердыни.
Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. He was there in the prison.
21 И бяше Господь со Иосифом, и возлия на него милость, и даде ему благодать пред началным стражем темничным:
But Yahweh was with Joseph and showed covenant faithfulness to him. He gave him favor in the sight of the prison warden.
22 и вдаде старейшина стражей темницу в руце Иосифу и всех вверженых в темницу: и вся, елика творяху тамо, той бе творяй.
The prison warden gave into Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, Joseph was in charge of it.
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.
The prison warden did not worry about anything that was in his hand, because Yahweh was with him. Whatever he did, Yahweh prospered.
