Genesis 39

İsmaililer Yusuf’u Mısır’a götürmüştü. Firavunun görevlisi, muhafız birliği komutanı Mısırlı Potifar onu İsmaililer’den satın almıştı.

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.

[] RAB Yusuf’la birlikteydi ve onu başarılı kılıyordu. Yusuf Mısırlı efendisinin evinde kalıyordu.

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

Efendisi RAB’bin Yusuf’la birlikte olduğunu, yaptığı her işte onu başarılı kıldığını gördü.

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

Yusuf’tan hoşnut kalarak onu özel hizmetine aldı. Evinin ve sahip olduğu her şeyin sorumluluğunu ona verdi.

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.

Yusuf’u evinin ve sahip olduğu her şeyin sorumlusu atadığı andan itibaren RAB Yusuf sayesinde Potifar’ın evini kutsadı. Evini, tarlasını, kendisine ait her şeyi bereketli kıldı.

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.

Potifar sahip olduğu her şeyin sorumluluğunu Yusuf’a verdi; yediği yemek dışında hiçbir şeyle ilgilenmedi. Yusuf güzel yapılı, yakışıklıydı.

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.

Bir süre sonra efendisinin karısı ona göz koyarak, “Benimle yat” dedi.

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

Ama Yusuf reddetti. “Ben burada olduğum için efendim evdeki hiçbir şeyle ilgilenme gereğini duymuyor” dedi, “Sahip olduğu her şeyin yönetimini bana verdi.

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;

Bu evde ben de onun kadar yetkiliyim. Senin dışında hiçbir şeyi benden esirgemedi. Sen onun karısısın. Nasıl böyle bir kötülük yapar, Tanrı’ya karşı günah işlerim?”

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?

Potifar’ın karısı her gün kendisiyle yatması ya da birlikte olması için direttiyse de, Yusuf onun isteğini kabul etmedi.

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.

Bir gün Yusuf olağan işlerini yapmak üzere eve gitti. İçerde ev halkından hiç kimse yoktu.

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.

Potifar’ın karısı Yusuf’un giysisini tutarak, “Benimle yat” dedi. Ama Yusuf giysisini onun elinde bırakıp evden dışarı kaçtı.

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.

Kadın Yusuf’un giysisini bırakıp kaçtığını görünce,

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

uşaklarını çağırdı. “Bakın şuna!” dedi, “Kocamın getirdiği bu İbrani bizi rezil etti. Yanıma geldi, benimle yatmak istedi. Ben de bağırdım.

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:

Bağırdığımı duyunca giysisini yanımda bırakıp dışarı kaçtı.”

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.

Efendisi eve gelinceye kadar Yusuf’un giysisini yanında alıkoydu.

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

Ona da aynı şeyleri anlattı: “Buraya getirdiğin İbrani köle yanıma gelip beni aşağılamak istedi.

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:

Ama ben bağırınca giysisini yanımda bırakıp kaçtı.”

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

Karısının, “Kölen bana böyle yaptı” diyerek anlattıklarını duyunca, Yusuf’un efendisinin öfkesi tepesine çıktı.

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.

Yusuf’u yakalayıp zindana, kralın tutsaklarının bağlı olduğu yere attı. Ama Yusuf zindandayken

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.

RAB onunla birlikteydi. Ona iyilik etti. Zindancıbaşı Yusuf’tan hoşnut kaldı.

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

Bütün tutsakların yönetimini ona verdi. Zindanda olup biten her şeyden Yusuf sorumluydu.

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.

Zindancıbaşı Yusuf’un sorumlu olduğu işlerle hiç ilgilenmezdi. Çünkü RAB Yusuf’la birlikteydi ve yaptığı her işte onu başarılı kılıyordu.

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.
