Genesis 39

وَأَمَّا يُوسُفُ فَأُنْزِلَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَاشْتَرَاهُ فُوطِيفَارُ خَصِيُّ فِرْعَوْنَ رَئِيسُ الشُّرَطِ، رَجُلٌ مِصْرِيٌّ، مِنْ يَدِ الإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَنْزَلُوهُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ.

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 Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يُوسُفَ فَكَانَ رَجُلاً نَاجِحًا، وَكَانَ فِي بَيْتِ سَيِّدِهِ الْمِصْرِيِّ.

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

وَرَأَى سَيِّدُهُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَهُ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَصْنَعُ كَانَ الرَّبُّ يُنْجِحُهُ بِيَدِهِ.

And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

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

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.

وَكَانَ مِنْ حِينِ وَكَّلَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، أَنَّ الرَّبَّ بَارَكَ بَيْتَ الْمِصْرِيِّ بِسَبَبِ يُوسُفَ. وَكَانَتْ بَرَكَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَفِي الْحَقْلِ،

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 upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

فَتَرَكَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي يَدِ يُوسُفَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ يَعْرِفُ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ الْخُبْزَ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ. وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ حَسَنَ الصُّورَةِ وَحَسَنَ الْمَنْظَرِ.

And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةَ سَيِّدِهِ رَفَعَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا إِلَى يُوسُفَ وَقَالَتِ: «اضْطَجعْ مَعِي».

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

فَأَبَى وَقَالَ لامْرَأَةِ سَيِّدِهِ: «هُوَذَا سَيِّدِي لاَ يَعْرِفُ مَعِي مَا فِي الْبَيْتِ، وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُ قَدْ دَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِي.

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

لَيْسَ هُوَ فِي هذَا الْبَيْتِ أَعْظَمَ مِنِّي. وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْ عَنِّي شَيْئًا غَيْرَكِ، لأَنَّكِ امْرَأَتُهُ. فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ هذَا الشَّرَّ الْعَظِيمَ وَأُخْطِئُ إِلَى اللهِ؟».

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?

وَكَانَ إِذْ كَلَّمَتْ يُوسُفَ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهَا أَنْ يَضْطَجعَ بِجَانِبِهَا لِيَكُونَ مَعَهَا.

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.

ثُمَّ حَدَثَ نَحْوَ هذَا الْوَقْتِ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ لِيَعْمَلَ عَمَلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ هُنَاكَ فِي الْبَيْتِ.

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

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

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.

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

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

أَنَّهَا نَادَتْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهَا، وَكَلَّمَتهُمْ قَائِلةً: «انْظُرُوا! قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَيْنَا بِرَجُل عِبْرَانِيٍّ لِيُدَاعِبَنَا! دَخَلَ إِلَيَّ لِيَضْطَجعَ مَعِي، فَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ.

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:

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

And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

فَوَضَعَتْ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِهَا حَتَّى جَاءَ سَيِّدُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.

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

فَكَلَّمَتْهُ بِمِثْلِ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ قَائِلَةً: «دَخَلَ إِلَيَّ الْعَبْدُ الْعِبْرَانِيُّ الَّذِي جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا لِيُدَاعِبَنِي.

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:

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

And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

فَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ سَيِّدُهُ كَلاَمَ امْرَأَتِهِ الَّذِي كَلَّمَتْهُ بِهِ قَائِلَةً: «بِحَسَبِ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ صَنَعَ بِي عَبْدُكَ»، أَنَّ غَضَبَهُ حَمِيَ.

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.

فَأَخَذَ يُوسُفَ سَيِّدُهُ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ، الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ أَسْرَى الْمَلِكِ مَحْبُوسِينَ فِيهِ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ فِي بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ.

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.

وَلكِنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَ يُوسُفَ، وَبَسَطَ إِلَيْهِ لُطْفًا، وَجَعَلَ نِعْمَةً لَهُ فِي عَيْنَيْ رَئِيسِ بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ.

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

فَدَفَعَ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ إِلَى يَدِ يُوسُفَ جَمِيعَ الأَسْرَى الَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ. وَكُلُّ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ هُنَاكَ كَانَ هُوَ الْعَامِلَ.

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.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ يَنْظُرُ شَيْئًا الْبَتَّةَ مِمَّا فِي يَدِهِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَمَهْمَا صَنَعَ كَانَ الرَّبُّ يُنْجِحُهُ.

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.
