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.

Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.

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

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master 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 master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.

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.

So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.

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 came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, 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.

So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

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

And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep 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.

But he refused, and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.

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?«

There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, and sin 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 although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or 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.

Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.

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.

She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.

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

When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run 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.

she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I cried 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.«

It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."

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

She left his garment by her, until his master came home.

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 told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'

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

But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran 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 happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.

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

Then 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 prison.

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

But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

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.

The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.

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 keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
