17	וַתְּדַבֵּ֣ר אֵלָ֔יו כַּדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לֵאמֹ֑ר בָּֽא־ אֵלַ֞י הָעֶ֧בֶד הָֽעִבְרִ֛י אֲשֶׁר־ הֵבֵ֥אתָ לָּ֖נוּ לְצַ֥חֶק בִּֽי׃	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	וַיְהִ֕י כַּהֲרִימִ֥י קוֹלִ֖י וָאֶקְרָ֑א וַיַּעֲזֹ֥ב בִּגְד֛וֹ אֶצְלִ֖י וַיָּ֥נָס הַחֽוּצָה׃	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	וַיְהִי֩ כִשְׁמֹ֨עַ אֲדֹנָ֜יו אֶת־ דִּבְרֵ֣י אִשְׁתּ֗וֹ אֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבְּרָ֤ה אֵלָיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר כַּדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה עָ֥שָׂהּ‪‬ לִ֖י עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וַיִּ֖חַר אַפּֽוֹ׃	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	וַיִּקַּח֩ אֲדֹנֵ֨י יוֹסֵ֜ף אֹת֗וֹ וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֙הוּ֙ אֶל־ בֵּ֣ית הַסֹּ֔הַר מְק֕וֹם אֲשֶׁר־ [אסורי] (אֲסִירֵ֥י) הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֲסוּרִ֑ים וַֽיְהִי־ שָׁ֖ם בְּבֵ֥ית הַסֹּֽהַר׃	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	וַיְהִ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֶת־ יוֹסֵ֔ף וַיֵּ֥ט אֵלָ֖יו חָ֑סֶד וַיִּתֵּ֣ן חִנּ֔וֹ בְּעֵינֵ֖י שַׂ֥ר בֵּית־ הַסֹּֽהַר׃	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	וַיִּתֵּ֞ן שַׂ֤ר בֵּית־ הַסֹּ֙הַר֙ בְּיַד־ יוֹסֵ֔ף אֵ֚ת כָּל־ הָ֣אֲסִירִ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּבֵ֣ית הַסֹּ֑הַר וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־ אֲשֶׁ֤ר עֹשִׂים֙ שָׁ֔ם ה֖וּא הָיָ֥ה עֹשֶֽׂה׃	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	אֵ֣ין ׀ שַׂ֣ר בֵּית־ הַסֹּ֗הַר רֹאֶ֤ה אֶֽת־ כָּל־ מְא֙וּמָה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ בַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אִתּ֑וֹ וַֽאֲשֶׁר־ ה֥וּא עֹשֶׂ֖ה יְהוָ֥ה מַצְלִֽיחַ׃ ס	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.
