اَلتَّكْوِينُ 39

١ 1 وَأَمَّا يُوسُفُ فَأُنْزِلَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَٱشْتَرَاهُ فُوطِيفَارُ خَصِيُّ فِرْعَوْنَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، رَجُلٌ مِصْرِيٌّ، مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْزَلُوهُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ.

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.

٢ 2 وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ يُوسُفَ فَكَانَ رَجُلًا نَاجِحًا، وَكَانَ فِي بَيْتِ سَيِّدِهِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّ.

And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.

٣ 3 وَرَأَى سَيِّدُهُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعَهُ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَصْنَعُ كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ يُنْجِحُهُ بِيَدِهِ.

And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.

٤ 4 فَوَجَدَ يُوسُفُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، وَخَدَمَهُ، فَوَكَّلَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ وَدَفَعَ إِلَى يَدِهِ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ.

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.

٥ 5 وَكَانَ مِنْ حِينِ وَكَّلَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ بَارَكَ بَيْتَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّ بِسَبَبِ يُوسُفَ. وَكَانَتْ بَرَكَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ وَفِي ٱلْحَقْلِ،

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

٦ 6 فَتَرَكَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي يَدِ يُوسُفَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ يَعْرِفُ شَيْئًا إِلَا ٱلْخُبْزَ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ. وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ حَسَنَ ٱلصُّورَةِ وَحَسَنَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ.

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.

٧ 7 وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ ٱمْرَأَةَ سَيِّدِهِ رَفَعَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا إِلَى يُوسُفَ وَقَالَتِ: «ٱضْطَجِعْ مَعِي».

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

٨ 8 فَأَبَى وَقَالَ لِٱمْرَأَةِ سَيِّدِهِ: «هُوَذَا سَيِّدِي لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعِي مَا فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُ قَدْ دَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِي.

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.

٩ 9 لَيْسَ هُوَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ أَعْظَمَ مِنِّي. وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْ عَنِّي شَيْئًا غَيْرَكِ، لِأَنَّكِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ. فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ هَذَا ٱلشَّرَّ ٱلْعَظِيمَ وَأُخْطِئُ إِلَى ٱللهِ؟».

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?"

١٠ 10 وَكَانَ إِذْ كَلَّمَتْ يُوسُفَ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهَا أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ بِجَانِبِهَا لِيَكُونَ مَعَهَا.

And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her.

١١ 11 ثُمَّ حَدَثَ نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ لِيَعْمَلَ عَمَلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْبَيْتِ هُنَاكَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ.

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.

١٢ 12 فَأَمْسَكَتْهُ بِثَوْبِهِ قَائِلَةً: «ٱضْطَجِعْ مَعِي!». فَتَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ فِي يَدِهَا وَهَرَبَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ.

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

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ فِي يَدِهَا وَهَرَبَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ،

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

١٤ 14 أَنَّهَا نَادَتْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهَا، وَكَلَّمَتهُمْ قَائِلةً: «ٱنْظُرُوا! قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَيْنَا بِرَجُلٍ عِبْرَانِيٍّ لِيُدَاعِبَنَا! دَخَلَ إِلَيَّ لِيَضْطَجِعَ مَعِي، فَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ.

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.

١٥ 15 وَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ أَنِّي رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ، أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِي وَهَرَبَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ».

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

١٦ 16 فَوَضَعَتْ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِهَا حَتَّى جَاءَ سَيِّدُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.

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

١٧ 17 فَكَلَّمَتْهُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ قَائِلَةً: «دَخَلَ إِلَيَّ ٱلْعَبْدُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّ ٱلَّذِي جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا لِيُدَاعِبَنِي.

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.'

١٨ 18 وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ، أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِي وَهَرَبَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ».

But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."

١٩ 19 فَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ سَيِّدُهُ كَلَامَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَتْهُ بِهِ قَائِلَةً: «بِحَسَبِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ صَنَعَ بِي عَبْدُكَ»، أَنَّ غَضَبَهُ حَمِيَ.

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.

٢٠ 20 فَأَخَذَ يُوسُفَ سَيِّدُهُ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَسْرَى ٱلْمَلِكِ مَحْبُوسِينَ فِيهِ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

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.

٢١ 21 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَ يُوسُفَ، وَبَسَطَ إِلَيْهِ لُطْفًا، وَجَعَلَ نِعْمَةً لَهُ فِي عَيْنَيْ رَئِيسِ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

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

٢٢ 22 فَدَفَعَ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ إِلَى يَدِ يُوسُفَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَسْرَى ٱلَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ. وَكُلُّ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ هُنَاكَ كَانَ هُوَ ٱلْعَامِلَ.

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.

٢٣ 23 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ يَنْظُرُ شَيْئًا ٱلْبَتَّةَ مِمَّا فِي يَدِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَمَهْمَا صَنَعَ كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ يُنْجِحُهُ.

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.
