¹A Jozef bol dovedený dolu do Egypta, kde ho kúpil Putifar, dvoranin faraonov, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, človek Egypťan, z ruky Izmaelitov, ktorí ho doviedli ta dolu.

¹And Joseph hath been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buyeth him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him thither.

²Ale Hospodin bol s Jozefom, a bol mužom, ktorému sa všetko darilo, a tak bol v dome svojho pána, toho Egypťana.

²And Jehovah is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,

³A jeho pán videl, že je s ním Hospodin a že Hospodin pôsobil, aby všetko, čo robil, darilo sa v jeho ruke.

³and his lord seeth that Jehovah is with him, and all that he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper in his hand,

⁴A Jozef našiel milosť v jeho očiach a slúžil mu. A ustanovil ho nad svojím domom a všetko, čo len mal, oddal do jeho ruky.

⁴and Joseph findeth grace in his eyes and serveth him, and he appointeth him over his house, and all that he hath he hath given into his hand.

⁵A stalo sa, že odvtedy, odkedy ho ustanovil nad svojím domom a nad všetkým, čo mal, požehnal Hospodin dom Egypťana pre Jozefa, a požehnanie Hospodinovo bolo na všetkom, čo mal v dome i na poli.

⁵And it cometh to pass from the time that he hath appointed him over his house, and over all that he hath, that Jehovah blesseth the house of the Egyptian for Joseph`s sake, and the blessing of Jehovah is on all that he hath, in the house, and in the field;

⁶A tedy zanechal všetko, čo mal, v ruke Jozefovej, tak, že sám nevedel o ničom krome o chlebe, ktorý jedol. A Jozef bol peknej postavy a krásneho vzozrenia.

⁶and he leaveth all that he hath in the hand of Joseph, and he hath not known anything that he hath, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a fair form, and of a fair appearance.

⁷A stalo sa po tom po všetkom, že jeho pánova žena obracala svoje oči na Jozefa a povedala mu: Lež so mnou.

⁷And it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord`s wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, `Lie with me;`

⁸Ale on odoprel a riekol žene svojho pána: Hľa, môj pán nevie o ničom o tom, čo je v dome; viem to iba ja sám, a všetko, čo má, dal do mojej ruky.

⁸and he refuseth, and saith unto his lord`s wife, `Lo, my lord hath not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he hath he hath given into my hand;

⁹Nie je v tomto dome väčšieho ako som ja, ani nieto ničoho, čo by bol vyňal zpod mojej moci krome teba, preto že si ty jeho žena. A jako by som tedy vykonal túto veľkú nešľachetnosť a zhrešil proti Bohu?!

⁹none is greater in this house than I, and he hath not withheld from me anything, except thee, because thou [art] his wife; and how shall I do this great evil? — then have I sinned against God.`

¹⁰A stalo sa, keď len hovorila Jozefovi deň po dni, a keď jej neposlúchol, aby ležal po jej boku, aby bol s ňou,

¹⁰And it cometh to pass at her speaking unto Joseph day [by] day, that he hath not hearkened unto her, to lie near her, to be with her;

¹¹stalo sa tedy jedného takého dňa, že vošiel do domu, aby tam konal svoju prácu. A nebolo niktorého z mužov domu tam v dome.

¹¹and it cometh to pass about this day, that he goeth into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,

¹²A chytila ho za jeho rúcho a vravela: Lež so mnou! Ale on zanechal svoje rúcho v jej ruke a utiekol a vyšiel von.

¹²and she catcheth him by his garment, saying, `Lie with me;` and he leaveth his garment in her hand, and fleeth, and goeth without.

¹³A stalo sa, keď videla, že zanechal svoje rúcho v jej ruke a že utiekol von,

¹³And it cometh to pass when she seeth that he hath left his garment in her hand, and fleeth without,

¹⁴zavolala na mužov svojho domu a povedala im: Hľaďte, doviedol nám hebrejského muža, aby si z nás robil posmech. Prišiel ku mne, aby ležal so mnou, ale som kričala veľkým hlasom.

¹⁴that she calleth for the men of her house, and speaketh to them, saying, `See, he hath brought in to us a man, a Hebrew, to play with us; he hath come in unto me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,

¹⁵A stalo sa, keď počul, že som pozdvihla svoj hlas a že kričím, zanechal svoje rúcho vedľa mňa a utiekol a vyšiel von.

¹⁵and it cometh to pass, when he heareth that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth, and goeth without.`

¹⁶A tak nechala jeho rúcho ležať vedľa seba, až prišiel jej pán domov.

¹⁶And she placeth his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord unto his house.

¹⁷A keď prišiel, hovorila mu tak asi týmito slovami a vravela: Prišiel ku mne ten hebrejský sluha, ktorého si nám doviedol, aby mi urobil posmech.

¹⁷And she speaketh unto him according to these words, saying, `The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, hath come in unto me to play with me;

¹⁸Ale keď som pozdvihla svoj hlas a kričala som, zanechal svoje rúcho vedľa mňa a utiekol von.

¹⁸and it cometh to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth without.`

¹⁹A stalo sa, keď počul jeho pán slová svojej ženy, ktoré mu hovorila a riekla: Takto mi urobil tvoj sluha, že sa veľmi rozhneval.

¹⁹And it cometh to pass when his lord heareth the words of his wife, which she hath spoken unto him, saying, `According to these things hath thy servant done to me,` that his anger burneth;

²⁰A Jozefov pán vzal Jozefa a dal ho do žalára, na miesto, kde boli uväznení väzni kráľovi, a bol tam v žalári.

²⁰and Joseph`s lord taketh him, and putteth him unto the round-house, a place where the king`s prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-house.

²¹Ale Hospodin bol s Jozefom a naklonil k nemu svoje milosrdenstvo a dal mu milosť v očiach náčelníka žalára.

²¹And Jehovah is with Joseph, and stretcheth out kindness unto him, and putteth his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;

²²A náčelník žalára dal do ruky Jozefovej všetkých väzňov, ktorí boli v žalári, a všetko, čokoľvek tam robili, on robil.

²²and the chief of the round-house giveth into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he hath been doer;

²³Ani nedozeral náčelník žalára na nič, čo bolo sverené jeho ruke, pretože Hospodin bol s ním a Hospodin pôsobil, aby sa to, čo konal, darilo. 40. KAPITOLA

²³the chief of the round-house seeth not anything under his hand, because Jehovah [is] with him, and that which he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper.
