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, 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.

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 on Joseph, and 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 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.

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?!

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?

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 spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] 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.

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.

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

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

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 with me, and fled and went out.

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

¹⁶And she laid his garment by her until his lord 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 spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to 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 with me, and fled forth.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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