¹Jožefa torej pripeljejo doli v Egipt, in kupi ga Potifar, dvornik Faraonov, načelnik telesne straže, Egipčan, iz roke Izmaelcev, ki so ga bili pripeljali tja.

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.

²A GOSPOD je bil ž Jožefom, in bil je mož, ki mu je šlo vse po sreči; in je bival v hiši gospodarja svojega, Egipčana.

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

³In gospodar njegov je videl, da je GOSPOD ž njim in da vse, kar on počenja, pospešuje GOSPOD v roki njegovi.

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

⁴In našel je Jožef milost v očeh njegovih in bil mu je za strežnika. In postavil ga je čez hišo svojo in vse, kar je imel, dal v roko njegovo.

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.

⁵In odkar ga je bil postavil čez hišo svojo in čez vse, kar je imel, je blagoslovil GOSPOD Egipčanovo hišo zaradi Jožefa, in bil je blagoslov GOSPODOV v vsem, kar je on imel, doma in na polju.

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;

⁶Zato je prepustil vse, kar je imel, roki Jožefovi, in ni se brigal za nobeno stvar pri njem razen za hrano, ki jo je sam užival. Bil je pa Jožef lepe postave in zalega obličja.

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.

⁷Zgodi se pa po teh dogodkih, da nameri žena gospodarja njegovega oči svoje v Jožefa in reče: Lezi z menoj!

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

⁸On pa se brani ter reče gospodarja svojega ženi: Glej, gospod moj se ne briga za nobeno stvar pri meni v hiši in vse, kar ima, je dal v roko mojo.

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;

⁹Še sam ni večji od mene v tej hiši, in ničesar mi ni odtegnil razen tebe, ker si žena njegova. Kako bi torej jaz storil toliko zlo in grešil zoper Boga?

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.`

¹⁰In ko je ona ogovarjala Jožefa vsak dan, ni ji privolil, da bi ležal poleg nje, niti da bi se mudil ž njo.

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;

¹¹Zgodi se pa nekega takega dne, ko je prišel domov opravljat delo svoje, da ni bilo nikogar iz domačinov tam notri.

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,

¹²Tedaj ga zgrabi ona za obleko njegovo, rekoč: Lezi z menoj! On pa pusti obleko svojo v njeni roki in pobegne ter gre iz hiše.

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

¹³Ko pa je videla, da je pustil obleko svojo v njeni roki in pobegnil iz hiše,

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

¹⁴pokliče domačine svoje in jim reče: Glejte, pripeljal nam je moža Hebrejca, da nas sramoti. Ta je prišel k meni, da bi ležal z menoj, ali zavpila sem z glasom velikim,

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,

¹⁵in ko je slišal, da sem zagnala glas in klicala, je pustil obleko svojo poleg mene in pobegnil in šel iz hiše.

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.`

¹⁶Položi pa obleko njegovo poleg sebe, dokler pride gospodar njegov v hišo svojo.

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

¹⁷Nato ga ogovori s takimi besedami, rekoč: Prišel je k meni tisti hlapec Hebrejec, ki si ga nam pripeljal, da bi me sramotil.

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;

¹⁸Toda ko sem zagnala glas in klicala, je pustil obleko svojo poleg mene in pobegnil iz hiše.

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

¹⁹In ko je gospodar njegov slišal žene svoje besede, s katerimi mu je povedala, rekoč: Takole mi je storil hlapec tvoj, se silno razsrdi.

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;

²⁰In zgrabi Jožefa gospodar njegov ter ga dene v stolp, v kraj, kjer so bili zvezani kraljevi jetniki; in bil je tam v stolpu.

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.

²¹Ali GOSPOD je bil z Jožefom in naklonil mu je blagovoljnost in mu dal milost svojo pred očmi načelnika stolpu.

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;

²²In načelnik stolpa je dal Jožefu v roko vse zvezane v stolpu; in vse, kar so tam delali, je vodil on.Načelnik stolpa ni gledal na nobeno stvar, ki je bila v roki Jožefovi, zato ker je bil GOSPOD ž njim, in kar je počel, vse je pospeševal GOSPOD.

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;

²³Načelnik stolpa ni gledal na nobeno stvar, ki je bila v roki Jožefovi, zato ker je bil GOSPOD ž njim, in kar je počel, vse je pospeševal GOSPOD.

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.
