Genesis 39

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.

Iosif a fost dus în Egipt; şi Potifar, dregătorul lui Faraon, căpetenia străjerilor, un Egiptean, l -a cumpărat dela Ismaeliţii cari -l aduseseră acolo.

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

Domnul a fost cu Iosif, aşa că toate îi mergeau bine; el locuia în casa stăpînului său, Egipteanul.

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

Stăpînul lui a văzut că Domnul era cu el, şi că Domnul făcea să -i meargă bine ori dece se apuca.

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.

Iosif a căpătat mare trecere înaintea stăpînului său, care l -a luat în slujba lui, l -a pus mai mare peste casa lui, şi i -a încredinţat tot ce avea.

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.

De îndată ce Potifar l -a pus mai mare peste casa lui şi peste tot ce avea, Domnul a binecuvîntat casa Egipteanului, din pricina lui Iosif; şi binecuvîntarea Domnului a fost peste tot ce avea el, fie acasă, fie la cîmp.

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.

Egipteanul a lăsat pe mînile lui Iosif tot ce avea, şi n'avea altă grijă decît să mănînce şi să bea. Dar Iosif era frumos la statură, şi plăcut la chip.

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

După cîtăva vreme, s'a întîmplat că nevasta stăpînului său a pus ochii pe Iosif, şi a zis: ,,Culcă-te cu mine!``

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;

El n'a voit, şi a zis nevestei stăpînului său: ,,Vezi că stăpînul meu nu-mi cere socoteala de nimic din casă, şi mi -a dat pe mînă tot ce are.

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?

El nu este mai mare decît mine în casa aceasta, şi nu mi -a oprit nimic, afară de tine, pentrucă eşti nevasta lui. Cum aş putea să fac eu un rău atît de mare şi să păcătuiesc împotriva lui Dumnezeu?``

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.

Măcar că ea vorbea în toate zilele lui Iosif, el n'a voit să se culce şi să se împreune cu ea.

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.

Într'o zi, cînd intrase în casă, ca să-şi facă lucrul, şi cînd nu era acolo nici unul din oamenii casei,

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.

ea l -a apucat de haină, zicînd: ,,Culcă-te cu mine!`` El i -a lăsat haina în mînă, şi a fugit afară din casă.

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

Cînd a văzut ea că -i lăsase haina în mînă, şi fugise afară,

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:

a chemat oamenii din casă, şi le -a zis: ,,Vedeţi, ne -a adus un Evreu ca să-şi bată joc de noi! Omul acesta a venit la mine ca să se culce cu mine, dar eu am ţipat în gura mare.

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.

Şi, cînd a văzut că ridic glasul şi strig, şi -a lăsat haina lîngă mine şi a fugit afară.``

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

Şi a pus haina lui Iosif lîngă ea pînă s'a întors acasă stăpînul lui.

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:

Atunci i -a vorbit astfel: ,,Robul acela evreu, pe care ni l-ai adus, a venit la mine ca să-şi bată joc de mine.

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

Şi cum am ridicat glasul şi am ţipat, şi -a lăsat haina lîngă mine, şi a fugit afară.``

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.

După ce a auzit cuvintele nevestei sale, care -i zicea: ,,Iată ce mi -a făcut robul tău,`` stăpînul lui Iosif s'a mîniat foarte tare.

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.

A luat pe Iosif, şi l -a aruncat în temniţă în locul unde erau închişi întemniţaţii împăratului; şi astfel Iosif a stat acolo, în temniţă.

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

Domnul a fost cu Iosif, şi Şi -a întins bunătatea peste el. L -a făcut să capete trecere înaintea mai marelui temniţei.

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.

Şi mai marele temniţei a pus subt privegherea lui pe toţi întemniţaţii cari erau în temniţă. Şi nimic nu se făcea acolo decît prin el.

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.

Mai marele temniţei nu se mai îngrijea de nimic din ce avea Iosif în mînă, pentrucă Domnul era cu el. Şi Domnul îi dădea izbîndă în tot ce făcea.
