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 was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither.

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

²And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master 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 master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did 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 found favor in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put 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 came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, 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 left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught [that was] with him, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored.

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

⁷And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, 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.

⁸But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath put all that he hath 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?!

⁹he is not greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin 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 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.

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 came to pass about this time, that he went into the house to do his work; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

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 caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

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

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

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 called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us: he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried 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 came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out.

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

¹⁶And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.

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 spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:

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

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

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 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.

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 master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

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

²¹But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

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

²²And 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.

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 keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
