Genesis 39

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.

ヨセフ挈へられてエジプトにくだりしがエジプト人ポテパル、パロの臣侍衞の長なる者彼を其處にたづさへくだれるイシマエル人の手よりこれを買ふ

2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

ヱホバ、ヨセフとともに在す彼享通者となりてその主人なるエジプト人の家にをる

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.

その主人ヱホバの彼とともにいますを見またヱホバがかれの手の凡てなすところを享通しめたまふを見たり

4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

是によりてヨセフ彼の心にかなひて其近侍となる彼ヨセフにその家を宰どらしめその所有を盡くその手に委たり

5 And it came to pass from the time that he had 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 on all that he had in the house, and in the field.

彼ヨセフにその家とその有る凡の物をつかさどらせし時よりしてヱホバ、ヨセフのために其エジプト人の家を祝みたまふ即ちヱホバの祝福かれが家と田に有る凡の物におよぶ

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he did not concern himself with any thing he had, except the bread which he ate. And Joseph was a handsome person, and well favoured.

彼その有る物をことごとくヨセフの手にゆだねその食ふパンの外は何もかへりみざりき夫ヨセフは容貌麗しくして顏美しかりき

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.

これらの事の後その主人の妻ヨセフに目をつけて我と寢よといふ

8 But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

ヨセフ拒みて主人の妻にいひけるは視よわが主人の家の中の物をかへりみずその有るものことごとくわが手に委ぬ

9 There is none greater in his 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?

この家には我より大なるものなし又主人何をも我に禁ぜず只汝を除くのみ汝はその妻なればなり然ば我いかで此おほいなる惡をなして神に罪ををかすをえんや

10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

彼日々にヨセフに言よりたれどもヨセフきかずして之といねず亦與にをらざりき

11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his work; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

當時ヨセフその職をなさんとて家にいりしが家の人一箇もその内にをらざりき

12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and went outside.

時に彼婦その衣を執て我といねよといひければヨセフ衣を彼の手に棄おきて外に遁いでたり

13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled outside,

彼ヨセフがその衣を己の手に棄おきて遁いでしを見て

14 That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew to us to mock us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

その家の人々を呼てこれにいふ視よヘブル人を我等の所につれ來りて我等にたはむれしむ彼我といねんとて我の所にいり來りしかば我大聲によばはれり

15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and went outside.

彼わが聲をあげて呼はるを聞しかばその衣をわが許にすておきて外に遁いでたりと

16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

其衣を傍に置て主人の家に歸るを待つ

17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought to us, came in to me to mock me:

かくて彼是言のごとく主人につげていふ汝が我らに携へきたりしヘブルの僕われにたはむれんとて我許にいりきたりしが

18 And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled outside.

我聲をあげてよばはりしかばその衣を我許にすておきて遁いでたり

19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

主人その妻が己につげて汝の僕斯のごとく我になせりといふ言を聞て怒を發せり

20 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

是に於てヨセフの主人彼を執へて獄にいる其獄は王の囚徒を繋ぐ所なりヨセフ彼處にて獄にをりしが

21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

ヱホバ、ヨセフとともに在して之に仁慈を加へ典獄の恩顧をこれにえさせたまひければ

22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatever they did there, was done by him.

典獄獄にある囚人をことごとくヨセフの手に付せたり其處になす所の事は皆ヨセフこれをなすなり

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.

典獄そのまかせたる所の事は何をもかへりみざりき其はヱホバ、ヨセフとともにいませばなりヱホバかれのなすところをさかえしめたまふ
