¹واما يوسف فانزل الى مصر واشتراه فوطيفار خصي فرعون رئيس الشرط رجل مصري من يد الاسمعيليين الذين انزلوه الى هناك.

¹And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.

²وكان الرب مع يوسف فكان رجلا ناجحا. وكان في بيت سيده المصري

²And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

³ورأى سيده ان الرب معه وان كل ما يصنع كان الرب ينحجه بيده.

³And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

⁴فوجد يوسف نعمة في عينيه وخدمه. فوكله على بيته ودفع الى يده كل ما كان له.

⁴And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.

⁵وكان من حين وكله على بيته وعلى كل ما كان له ان الرب بارك بيت المصري بسبب يوسف. وكانت بركة الرب على كل ما كان له في البيت وفي الحقل.

⁵And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.

⁶فترك كل ما كان له في يد يوسف. ولم يكن معه يعرف شيئا الا الخبز الذي يأكل. وكان يوسف حسن الصورة وحسن المنظر

⁶And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.

⁷وحدث بعد هذه الامور ان امرأة سيده رفعت عينيها الى يوسف وقالت اضطجع معي.

⁷And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!

⁸فأبى وقال لامرأة سيده هوذا سيدي لا يعرف معي ما في البيت وكل ما له قد دفعه الى يدي.

⁸But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.

⁹ليس هو في هذا البيت اعظم مني. ولم يمسك عني شيئا غيرك لانك امرأته. فكيف اصنع هذا الشر العظيم واخطئ الى الله.

⁹There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

¹⁰وكان اذ كلّمت يوسف يوما فيوما انه لم يسمع لها ان يضطجع بجانبها ليكون معها

¹⁰And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,

¹¹ثم حدث نحو هذا الوقت انه دخل البيت ليعمل عمله ولم يكن انسان من اهل البيت هناك في البيت.

¹¹that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.

¹²فامسكته بثوبه قائلة اضطجع معي. فترك ثوبه في يدها وهرب وخرج الى خارج.

¹²Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.

¹³وكان لما رأت انه ترك ثوبه في يدها وهرب الى خارج

¹³And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,

¹⁴انها نادت اهل بيتها وكلمتهم قائلة انظروا. قد جاء الينا برجل عبراني ليداعبنا. دخل اليّ ليضطجع معي فصرخت بصوت عظيم.

¹⁴that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;

¹⁵وكان لما سمع اني رفعت صوتي وصرخت انه ترك ثوبه بجانبي وهرب وخرج الى خارج

¹⁵and 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 went out.

¹⁶فوضعت ثوبه بجانبها حتى جاء سيده الى بيته.

¹⁶And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.

¹⁷فكلمته بمثل هذا الكلام قائلة دخل اليّ العبد العبراني الذي جئت به الينا ليداعبني.

¹⁷And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;

¹⁸وكان لما رفعت صوتي وصرخت انه ترك ثوبه بجانبي وهرب الى خارج

¹⁸and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.

¹⁹فكان لما سمع سيده كلام امرأته الذي كلمته به قائلة بحسب هذا الكلام صنع بي عبدك ان غضبه حمي.

¹⁹And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.

²⁰فأخذ يوسف سيده ووضعه في بيت السجن المكان الذي كان اسرى الملك محبوسين فيه. وكان هناك في بيت السجن

²⁰And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.

²¹ولكن الرب كان مع يوسف وبسط اليه لطفا وجعل نعمة له في عيني رئيس بيت السجن.

²¹And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.

²²فدفع رئيس بيت السجن الى يد يوسف جميع الاسرى الذين في بيت السجن. وكل ما كانوا يعملون هناك كان هو العامل.

²²And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.

²³ولم يكن رئيس بيت السجن ينظر شيئا البتة مّما في يده. لان الرب كان معه ومهما صنع كان الرب ينجحه

²³The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
