¹Ja Joosep viidi alla Egiptusesse; ja egiptlane Pootifar, vaarao hoovkondlane, ihukaitsepealik, ostis tema ismaeliitidelt, kes olid ta sinna toonud.

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.

²Aga Issand oli Joosepiga ja tema oli mees, kellel kõik asjad korda läksid; ja ta elas oma isanda, egiptlase kojas.

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

³Ka tema isand nägi, et Issand oli temaga ja et kõik, mis ta tegi, laskis Issand tema käes korda minna.

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

⁴Ja Joosep leidis armu tema silmis ning teenis teda; ja ta pani tema oma koja üle, ja kõik, mis tal oli, ta andis tema kätte.

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.

⁵Ja sellest ajast peale, kui ta oli pannud tema oma koja üle, ja kõige üle, mis tal oli, Issand õnnistas egiptlase koda Joosepi pärast, ja Issanda õnnistus oli kõigega, mis tal oli kojas ja väljal.

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.

⁶Ja ta jättis kõik, mis tal oli, Joosepi kätte ega teadnud millestki, kui ainult leivast, mida ta sõi. Joosep oli jumekas ja ilusa välimusega.

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.

⁷Nende asjaolude tõttu sündis, et ta isanda naine Joosepile silma heitis ja ütles: 'Maga mu juures!'

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

⁸Aga ta keeldus ja ütles oma isanda naisele: 'Vaata, mu isand ise ei tea, mis kojas on, ja kõik, mis tal on, ta on andnud minu kätte.

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.

⁹Ei ole ükski selles kojas suurem minust ja tema ei ole mulle keelanud midagi muud kui sind, sest sa oled tema naine. Kuidas tohiksin siis teha seda suurt kurja ja pattu oma Jumala vastu?'

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?

¹⁰Ja kuigi naine rääkis Joosepile iga päev, ei kuulanud see teda, et ta magaks ta kõrval ja oleks ta juures.

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,

¹¹Aga ühel päeval, kui Joosep tuli koju oma toimetusi tegema ja ühtegi inimest pererahvast ei olnud kodus,

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.

¹²haaras ta kinni tema kuuest, öeldes: 'Maga mu juures!' Aga Joosep jättis oma kuue tema kätte, põgenes ja läks õue.

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

¹³Ja kui naine nägi, et ta oma kuue oli jätnud tema kätte ja oli põgenenud õue,

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

¹⁴siis ta hüüdis pererahvast ja rääkis neile, öeldes: 'Näete, ta on toonud meie juurde heebrea mehe meid ära naerma! Ta tuli mu juurde, et minuga magada, aga ma hüüdsin suure häälega,

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;

¹⁵ja kui ta kuulis, et ma häält tõstsin ja hüüdsin, siis ta jättis oma kuue mu juurde, põgenes ja läks õue.'

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.

¹⁶Ja ta pani tema kuue enese kõrvale seniks, kui ta isand koju tuli.

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

¹⁷Ja ta rääkis temale needsamad sõnad, öeldes: 'Heebrea sulane, kelle sa oled meie juurde toonud, tuli mu juurde mind ära naerma.

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;

¹⁸Aga kui ma häält tõstsin ja hüüdsin, siis ta jättis oma kuue mu juurde ja põgenes õue.'

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

¹⁹Ja kui ta isand kuulis oma naise jutustust, mida see temale rääkis, öeldes: 'Nõndaviisi on su sulane minuga teinud', siis ta viha süttis põlema.

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.

²⁰Ja Joosepi isand võttis tema ja pani vangihoonesse, sinna paika, kus kuninga vange kinni peeti. Siis oli ta seal vangihoones.

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.

²¹Aga Issand oli Joosepiga ja pööras tema poole oma helduse ning tegi, et ta sai vangihoone ülema soosikuks.

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

²²Ja vangihoone ülem andis Joosepi kätte kõik vangid, kes olid vangihoones, ja kõik, mis seal pidi tehtama, tegi tema.

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.

²³Vangihoone ülem ei vaadanud millegi järele, mis oli tema käes, sest Issand oli temaga ja mis ta tegi, Issand laskis korda minna.

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.
