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 officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2 И бяше Господь со Иосифом: и бяше муж благополучен, и бысть в дому господина своего Египтянина.
The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Ведяше же господин его, яко Господь бе с ним, и елика творит, Господь благоустрояет в руку его.
His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
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 ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
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.
From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he 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.
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 И бысть по словесех сих, и возложи жена господина его очи своя на Иосифа и рече: пребуди со мною.
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she 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 refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
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, and 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.
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by 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:
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
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 garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 И бысть егда виде, яко оставль ризы своя в руках ея, бежа и изыде вон:
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run 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:
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to 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.
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 И удержа ризы у себе, дондеже прииде господин в дом свой.
She laid up his garment by 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 spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18 егда же услыша, яко воздвигох глас мой и возопих, оставль ризы своя у мене, отбеже и изыде вон.
and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 И бысть егда услыша господин его глаголы жены своея, елика рече к нему, глаголющи: сице сотвори ми отрок твой: и разгневася яростию,
When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
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 into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
21 И бяше Господь со Иосифом, и возлия на него милость, и даде ему благодать пред началным стражем темничным:
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the 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.
The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for 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 keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
