1 And Joseph has been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buys him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him there. Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2 And YHWH is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian, The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
3 and his lord sees that YHWH is with him, and all that he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper in his hand, His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did,
4 and Joseph finds grace in his eyes and serves him, and he appoints him over his house, and all that he has he has given into his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had. Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.
5 And it comes to pass from the time that he has appointed him over his house, and over all that he has, that YHWH blesses the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and the blessing of YHWH is on all that he has, in the house, and in the field; From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in house and field. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.
6 and he leaves all that he has in the hand of Joseph, and he has not known anything that he has, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a handsome form, and of a handsome appearance. So he left all that he had in Joseph’s charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
7 And it comes to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifts up her eyes to Joseph and says, “Lie with me”; And after a time his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”
8 and he refuses and says to his lord’s wife, “Behold, my lord has not known what [is] with me in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand; But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge. But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care.
9 none is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld from me anything, except you, because you [are] his wife; and how will I do this great evil? Then I have sinned against God.” He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?” No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”
10 And it comes to pass at her speaking to Joseph day [by] day, that he has not listened to her, to lie near her, to be with her; And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her. And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
11 and it comes to pass about this day, that he goes into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house, But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house, One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside.
12 and she catches him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me”; and he leaves his garment in her hand, and flees, and goes outside. she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house. She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
13 And it comes to pass, when she sees that he has left his garment in her hand, and flees outside, And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house, When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14 that she calls for the men of her house, and speaks to them, saying, “See, he has brought a man to us, a Hebrew, to play with us; he has come in to me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice, she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed.
15 and it comes to pass, when he hears that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees, and goes outside.” And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house.” When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 And she places his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord to his house. Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home, She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home.
17 And she speaks to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you have brought to us, has come in to me to play with me; and she told him the same story, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to laugh at me. Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me.
18 and it comes to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaves his garment near me, and flees outside.” But as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment beside me and fled out of the house.” But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19 And it comes to pass, when his lord hears the words of his wife, which she has spoken to him, saying, “According to these things has your servant done to me,” that his anger burns; As soon as his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, “This is the way your servant treated me,” his anger was kindled. When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger.
20 and Joseph’s lord takes him, and puts him to the round-house, a place where the king’s prisoners [are] bound; and he is there in the round-house. And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison. Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison,
21 And YHWH is with Joseph, and stretches out kindness to him, and puts his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house; But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
22 and the chief of the round-house gives into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he has been doer; And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it. So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.
23 the chief of the round-house does not see anything under his hand, because YHWH [is] with him, and that which he is doing YHWH is causing to prosper. The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph’s charge, because the LORD was with him. And whatever he did, the LORD made it succeed. The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
