Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither.
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.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Gospod pa je bil z Jožefom in bil je uspešen človek in bil je v hiši svojega gospodarja Egipčana.
3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Njegov gospodar je videl, da je bil z njim Gospod in da je Gospod naredil, da je v njegovi roki vse uspevalo.
4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
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.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
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.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not aught [that was] with him, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was comely, and well favoured.
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.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
Pripetilo se je po teh stvareh, da je gospodarjeva žena vrgla svoje oči na Jožefa in rekla: »Lezi z menoj.«
8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand;
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.
9 there is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
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?«
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.
Pripetilo se je, ko je dan za dnem govorila Jožefu, da ji ni prisluhnil, da leži z njo ali da bi bil z njo.
11 And it came to pass about this time, that he went into the house to do his work; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
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.
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
Ona pa ga je ujela za njegovo obleko, rekoč: »Lezi z menoj« in pustil je svojo obleko v njeni roki, pobegnil in izginil ven.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
Pripetilo se je, ko je videla, da je v njeni roki pustil svojo obleko in je pobegnil naprej,
14 that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
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.
15 and it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out.
Pripetilo se je, ko je zaslišal, da sem povzdignila svoj glas in zakričala, da je svojo obleko pustil pri meni, pobegnil in izginil ven.«
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
Njegovo obleko je položila poleg sebe, dokler njen gospodar ni prišel domov.
17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
Govorila mu je glede na te besede, rekoč: »Hebrejski služabnik, ki si ga privedel k nam, je prišel noter k meni in me zasmehoval
18 and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.
in pripetilo se je, ko sem povzdignila svoj glas in zakričala, da je svojo obleko pustil pri meni in pobegnil.«
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
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.
20 And 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 the prison.
Jožefov gospodar ga je vzel in ga vtaknil v ječo, kraj, kjer so bili zvezani kraljevi jetniki in bil je tam v ječi.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Toda Gospod je bil z Jožefom in mu izkazal usmiljenje in mu dal naklonjenost v očeh čuvaja ječe.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
Čuvaj ječe je v Jožefovo roko zaupal vse jetnike, ki so bili v ječi in karkoli so tam storili, je bil on izvršitelj tega.
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
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.
