1Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
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.
2Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
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.
3His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
3In gospodar njegov je videl, da je GOSPOD ž njim in da vse, kar on počenja, pospešuje GOSPOD v roki njegovi.
4Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into 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.
5It happened from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Yahweh was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
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.
6He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
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.
7It happened after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
7Zgodi se pa po teh dogodkih, da nameri žena gospodarja njegovega oči svoje v Jožefa in reče: Lezi z menoj!
8But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
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.
9He isn’t greater in this house than I, neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
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?
10As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
10In ko je ona ogovarjala Jožefa vsak dan, ni ji privolil, da bi ležal poleg nje, niti da bi se mudil ž njo.
11About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
11Zgodi se pa nekega takega dne, ko je prišel domov opravljat delo svoje, da ni bilo nikogar iz domačinov tam notri.
12She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
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.
13When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
13Ko pa je videla, da je pustil obleko svojo v njeni roki in pobegnil iz hiše,
14she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
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,
15It happened, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
15in ko je slišal, da sem zagnala glas in klicala, je pustil obleko svojo poleg mene in pobegnil in šel iz hiše.
16She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
16Položi pa obleko njegovo poleg sebe, dokler pride gospodar njegov v hišo svojo.
17She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
17Nato ga ogovori s takimi besedami, rekoč: Prišel je k meni tisti hlapec Hebrejec, ki si ga nam pripeljal, da bi me sramotil.
18and it happened, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
18Toda ko sem zagnala glas in klicala, je pustil obleko svojo poleg mene in pobegnil iz hiše.
19It happened, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” that his wrath was kindled.
19In ko je gospodar njegov slišal žene svoje besede, s katerimi mu je povedala, rekoč: Takole mi je storil hlapec tvoj, se silno razsrdi.
20Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
20In zgrabi Jožefa gospodar njegov ter ga dene v stolp, v kraj, kjer so bili zvezani kraljevi jetniki; in bil je tam v stolpu.
21But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
21Ali GOSPOD je bil z Jožefom in naklonil mu je blagovoljnost in mu dal milost svojo pred očmi načelnika stolpu.
22The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
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.
23The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.
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.
