پیدایش 39

۱ 1 اما یوسف را به مصر بردند، و مردی مصری، فوطیفار نام که خواجه و سردارافواج خاصه فرعون بود، وی را از دست اسماعیلیانی که او را بدانجا برده بودند، خرید.

Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

۲ 2 وخداوند با یوسف می‌بود، و او مردی کامیاب شد، و در خانه آقای مصری خود ماند.

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

۳ 3 و آقایش دیدکه خداوند با وی می‌باشد، و هر‌آنچه او می‌کند، خداوند در دستش راست می‌آورد.

When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,

۴ 4 پس یوسف در نظر وی التفات یافت، و او را خدمت می‌کرد، واو را به خانه خود برگماشت و تمام مایملک خویش را بدست وی سپرد.

Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.

۵ 5 و واقع شد بعد ازآنکه او را بر خانه و تمام مایملک خود گماشته بود، که خداوند خانه آن مصری را بسبب یوسف برکت داد، و برکت خداوند بر همه اموالش، چه در خانه و چه در صحرا بود.

From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.

۶ 6 و آنچه داشت به‌دست یوسف واگذاشت، و از آنچه با وی بود، خبر نداشت جز نانی که می‌خورد. و یوسف خوش اندام و نیک منظر بود.

So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,

۷ 7 و بعد از این امور واقع شد که زن آقایش بریوسف نظر انداخته، گفت: «با من همخواب شو.»

and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”

۸ 8 اما او ابا نموده، به زن آقای خود گفت: «اینک آقایم از آنچه نزد من در خانه است، خبر ندارد، وآنچه دارد، به‌دست من سپرده است.

But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.

۹ 9 بزرگتری ازمن در این خانه نیست و چیزی از من دریغ نداشته، جز تو، چون زوجه او می‌باشی؛ پس چگونه مرتکب این شرارت بزرگ بشوم و به خدا خطاورزم؟»

No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”

۱۰ 10 و اگرچه هر روزه به یوسف سخن می‌گفت، به وی گوش نمی گرفت که با او بخوابد یانزد وی بماند.

Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.

۱۱ 11 و روزی واقع شد که به خانه درآمد، تا به شغل خود پردازد و از اهل خانه کسی آنجا درخانه نبود.

One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.

۱۲ 12 پس جامه او را گرفته، گفت: «با من بخواب.» اما او جامه خود را به‌دستش رها کرده، گریخت و بیرون رفت.

She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.

۱۳ 13 و چون او دید که رخت خود را به‌دست وی ترک کرد و از خانه گریخت،

When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,

۱۴ 14 مردان خانه راصدا زد، و بدیشان بیان کرده، گفت: «بنگرید، مردعبرانی را نزد ما آورد تا ما را مسخره کند، و نزدمن آمد تا با من بخوابد، و به آواز بلند فریاد کردم،

she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.

۱۵ 15 و چون شنید که به آواز بلند فریاد برآوردم، جامه خود را نزد من واگذارده، فرار کرد و بیرون رفت.»

When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

۱۶ 16 پس جامه او را نزد خود نگاه داشت، تاآقایش به خانه آمد.

So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

۱۷ 17 و به وی بدین مضمون ذکر کرده، گفت: «آن غلام عبرانی که برای ماآورده‌ای، نزد من آمد تا مرا مسخره کند،

Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,

۱۸ 18 وچون به آواز بلند فریاد برآوردم، جامه خود راپیش من رها کرده، بیرون گریخت.»

but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

۱۹ 19 پس چون آقایش سخن زن خود را شنید که به وی بیان کرده، گفت: «غلامت به من چنین کرده است، » خشم او افروخته شد.

When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

۲۰ 20 و آقای یوسف، او را گرفته، در زندان خانه‌ای که اسیران پادشاه بسته بودند، انداخت و آنجا در زندان ماند.

So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,

۲۱ 21 اماخداوند با یوسف می‌بود و بر وی احسان می‌فرمود، و او را در نظر داروغه زندان حرمت داد.

the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

۲۲ 22 و داروغه زندان همه زندانیان را که درزندان بودند، به‌دست یوسف سپرد. و آنچه درآنجا می‌کردند، او کننده آن بود.

And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

۲۳ 23 و داروغه زندان بدانچه در دست وی بود، نگاه نمی کرد، زیرا خداوند با وی می‌بود و آنچه را که او می‌کرد، خداوند راست می‌آورد.

The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
