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. ۱ 1
Meanwhile, Joseph was led into Egypt. And Putiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, a leader of the army, an Egyptian man, purchased him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, by whom he was brought.
وخداوند با یوسف می‌بود، و او مردی کامیاب شد، و در خانه آقای مصری خود ماند. ۲ 2
And the Lord was with him, and he was a man who prospered in everything that he did. And he lived in the house of his lord,
و آقایش دیدکه خداوند با وی می‌باشد، و هر‌آنچه او می‌کند، خداوند در دستش راست می‌آورد. ۳ 3
who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and that all the things that were done by him were directed by his hand.
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. ۴ 4
And Joseph found favor in the sight of his lord, and he ministered to him. And, having been placed in charge of everything by him, he governed the house that was entrusted to him and all the things that had been delivered to him.
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. ۵ 5
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian, because of Joseph, and he multiplied all his substance, as much in the buildings, as in the fields.
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. ۶ 6
Neither did he know anything other than the bread that he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form, and stately in appearance.
و بعد از این امور واقع شد که زن آقایش بریوسف نظر انداخته، گفت: «با من همخواب شو.» ۷ 7
And so, after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Sleep with me.”
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. ۸ 8
And without consenting at all to the wicked act, he said to her: “Behold, my lord has delivered all things to me, and he does not know what he has in his own house.
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؟» ۹ 9
Neither is there anything which is not in my power, or that he has not delivered to me, except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this evil act and sin against my God?”
و اگرچه هر روزه به یوسف سخن می‌گفت، به وی گوش نمی گرفت که با او بخوابد یانزد وی بماند. ۱۰ 10
With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.
و روزی واقع شد که به خانه درآمد، تا به شغل خود پردازد و از اهل خانه کسی آنجا درخانه نبود. ۱۱ 11
Then it happened, on a certain day, that Joseph entered the house, and he was doing something, without any witnesses.
پس جامه او را گرفته، گفت: «با من بخواب.» اما او جامه خود را به‌دستش رها کرده، گریخت و بیرون رفت. ۱۲ 12
And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, “Sleep with me.” But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.
و چون او دید که رخت خود را به‌دست وی ترک کرد و از خانه گریخت، ۱۳ 13
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,
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، ۱۴ 14
she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: “Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,
و چون شنید که به آواز بلند فریاد برآوردم، جامه خود را نزد من واگذارده، فرار کرد و بیرون رفت.» ۱۵ 15
and he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
پس جامه او را نزد خود نگاه داشت، تاآقایش به خانه آمد. ۱۶ 16
As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.
و به وی بدین مضمون ذکر کرده، گفت: «آن غلام عبرانی که برای ماآورده‌ای، نزد من آمد تا مرا مسخره کند، ۱۷ 17
And she said: “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.
وچون به آواز بلند فریاد برآوردم، جامه خود راپیش من رها کرده، بیرون گریخت.» ۱۸ 18
And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
پس چون آقایش سخن زن خود را شنید که به وی بیان کرده، گفت: «غلامت به من چنین کرده است، » خشم او افروخته شد. ۱۹ 19
His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.
و آقای یوسف، او را گرفته، در زندان خانه‌ای که اسیران پادشاه بسته بودند، انداخت و آنجا در زندان ماند. ۲۰ 20
And he delivered Joseph into prison, where the prisoners of the king were kept, and he was enclosed in that place.
اماخداوند با یوسف می‌بود و بر وی احسان می‌فرمود، و او را در نظر داروغه زندان حرمت داد. ۲۱ 21
But the Lord was with Joseph, and, having mercy on him, he gave him favor in the sight of the leader of the prison,
و داروغه زندان همه زندانیان را که درزندان بودند، به‌دست یوسف سپرد. و آنچه درآنجا می‌کردند، او کننده آن بود. ۲۲ 22
who delivered into his hand all the prisoners who were held in custody. And whatever was done, was under him.
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. ۲۳ 23
Neither did he himself know anything, having entrusted all things to him. For the Lord was with him, and he directed everything that he did.
