1 Mojzes 39

1 Jožef je bil priveden dol v Egipt, in faraonov častnik Potifár, poveljnik straže, Egipčan, ga je kupil iz roke Izmaelcev, ki so ga privedli tja dol.

And Joseph has been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buys him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him there.

2 Gospod pa je bil z Jožefom in bil je uspešen človek in bil je v hiši svojega gospodarja Egipčana.

And YHWH is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,

3 Njegov gospodar je videl, da je bil z njim Gospod in da je Gospod naredil, da je v njegovi roki vse uspevalo.

and his lord sees that YHWH is with him, and all that he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper in his hand,

4 Jožef je našel naklonjenost v njegovih očeh in mu služil. Postavil ga je za nadzornika nad svojo hišo in vse, kar je imel, je položil v njegovo roko.

and Joseph finds grace in his eyes and serves him, and he appoints him over his house, and all that he has he has given into his hand.

5 Pripetilo se je čez čas, ko ga je postavil za nadzornika v svoji hiši in nad vsem, kar je imel, da je Gospod zaradi Jožefa blagoslovil Egipčanovo hišo in Gospodov blagoslov je bil nad vsem, kar je imel v hiši in na polju.

And it comes to pass from the time that he has appointed him over his house, and over all that he has, that YHWH blesses the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of YHWH is on all that he has, in the house, and in the field;

6 Vse, kar je imel, je pustil v Jožefovi roki in ni vedel, kar bi moral, razen kruha, ki ga je jedel. Jožef pa je bil čedne zunanjosti in lepega videza.

and he leaves all that he has in the hand of Joseph, and he has not known anything that he has, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a handsome form, and of a handsome appearance.

7 Pripetilo se je po teh stvareh, da je gospodarjeva žena vrgla svoje oči na Jožefa in rekla: »Lezi z menoj.«

And it comes to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifts up her eyes to Joseph and says, “Lie with me”;

8 Toda odklonil je in ženi svojega gospodarja rekel: »Glej, moj gospodar ne ve kaj je z menoj v hiši in vse, kar ima, je zaupal v mojo roko.

and he refuses and says to his lord’s wife, “Behold, my lord has not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand;

9 Nikogar večjega v tej hiši ni kakor jaz niti ni nobene stvari zadržal pred menoj, razen tebe, ker si njegova žena; kako lahko jaz potem storim to veliko zlobnost in grešim zoper Boga?«

none is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld from me anything, except you, because you [are] his wife; and how will I do this great evil? Then I have sinned against God.”

10 Pripetilo se je, ko je dan za dnem govorila Jožefu, da ji ni prisluhnil, da leži z njo ali da bi bil z njo.

And it comes to pass at her speaking to Joseph day [by] day, that he has not listened to her, to lie near her, to be with her;

11 Pripetilo se je okoli tega časa, da je Jožef odšel v hišo, da opravi svoje opravilo in tam v hiši ni bilo nikogar od ljudi.

and it comes to pass about this day, that he goes into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,

12 Ona pa ga je ujela za njegovo obleko, rekoč: »Lezi z menoj« in pustil je svojo obleko v njeni roki, pobegnil in izginil ven.

and she catches him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me”; and he leaves his garment in her hand, and flees, and goes outside.

13 Pripetilo se je, ko je videla, da je v njeni roki pustil svojo obleko in je pobegnil naprej,

And it comes to pass, when she sees that he has left his garment in her hand, and flees outside,

14 da je zaklicala k možem svoje hiše in jim govorila, rekoč: »Vidite, k nam je privedel Hebrejca, da nas zasmehuje. Prišel je k meni, da leži z menoj, jaz pa sem zaklicala z močnim glasom.

that she calls for the men of her house, and speaks to them, saying, “See, he has brought a man to us, a Hebrew, to play with us; he has come in to me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,

15 Pripetilo se je, ko je zaslišal, da sem povzdignila svoj glas in zakričala, da je svojo obleko pustil pri meni, pobegnil in izginil ven.«

and it comes to pass, when he hears that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees, and goes outside.”

16 Njegovo obleko je položila poleg sebe, dokler njen gospodar ni prišel domov.

And she places his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord to his house.

17 Govorila mu je glede na te besede, rekoč: »Hebrejski služabnik, ki si ga privedel k nam, je prišel noter k meni in me zasmehoval

And she speaks to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you have brought to us, has come in to me to play with me;

18 in pripetilo se je, ko sem povzdignila svoj glas in zakričala, da je svojo obleko pustil pri meni in pobegnil.«

and it comes to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees outside.”

19 Pripetilo se je, ko je njegov gospodar slišal besede svoje žene, ki mu jih je govorila, rekoč: »Na ta način mi je storil tvoj služabnik, « da je bil vžgan njegov bes.

And it comes to pass, when his lord hears the words of his wife, which she has spoken to him, saying, “According to these things has your servant done to me,” that his anger burns;

20 Jožefov gospodar ga je vzel in ga vtaknil v ječo, kraj, kjer so bili zvezani kraljevi jetniki in bil je tam v ječi.

and Joseph’s lord takes him, and puts him to the round-house, a place where the king’s prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-house.

21 Toda Gospod je bil z Jožefom in mu izkazal usmiljenje in mu dal naklonjenost v očeh čuvaja ječe.

And YHWH is with Joseph, and stretches out kindness to him, and puts his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;

22 Čuvaj ječe je v Jožefovo roko zaupal vse jetnike, ki so bili v ječi in karkoli so tam storili, je bil on izvršitelj tega.

and the chief of the round-house gives into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he has been doer;

23 Čuvaj ječe ni gledal na nobeno stvar, ki je bila pod njegovo roko, ker je bil z njim Gospod in tisto, kar je naredil, je Gospod storil, da je to uspevalo.

the chief of the round-house does not see anything under his hand, because YHWH [is] with him, and that which he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper.
