Genesis 39
1 Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither.
约瑟被带下埃及去。有一个埃及人，是法老的内臣—护卫长波提乏，从那些带下他来的以实玛利人手下买了他去。
2 And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
约瑟住在他主人埃及人的家中，耶和华与他同在，他就百事顺利。
3 And his master sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande.
他主人见耶和华与他同在，又见耶和华使他手里所办的尽都顺利，
4 So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand.
约瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩，伺候他主人，并且主人派他管理家务，把一切所有的都交在他手里。
5 And from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde.
自从主人派约瑟管理家务和他一切所有的，耶和华就因约瑟的缘故赐福与那埃及人的家；凡家里和田间一切所有的都蒙耶和华赐福。
6 Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured.
波提乏将一切所有的都交在约瑟的手中，除了自己所吃的饭，别的事一概不知。 约瑟原来秀雅俊美。
7 Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye with me.
这事以后，约瑟主人的妻以目送情给约瑟，说：“你与我同寝吧！”
8 But he refused and said to his masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande.
约瑟不从，对他主人的妻说：“看哪，一切家务，我主人都不知道；他把所有的都交在我手里。
9 There is no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne against God?
在这家里没有比我大的；并且他没有留下一样不交给我，只留下了你，因为你是他的妻子。我怎能作这大恶，得罪 神呢？”
10 And albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company.
后来她天天和约瑟说，约瑟却不听从她，不与她同寝，也不和她在一处。
11 Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold in the house:
有一天，约瑟进屋里去办事，家中人没有一个在那屋里，
12 Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out.
妇人就拉住他的衣裳，说：“你与我同寝吧！”约瑟把衣裳丢在妇人手里，跑到外边去了。
13 Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out,
妇人看见约瑟把衣裳丢在她手里跑出去了，
14 She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce.
就叫了家里的人来，对他们说：“你们看！他带了一个希伯来人进入我们家里，要戏弄我们。他到我这里来，要与我同寝，我就大声喊叫。
15 And when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out.
他听见我放声喊起来，就把衣裳丢在我这里，跑到外边去了。”
16 So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home.
妇人把约瑟的衣裳放在自己那里，等着他主人回家，
17 Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me.
就对他如此如此说：“你所带到我们这里的那希伯来仆人进来要戏弄我，
18 But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out.
我放声喊起来，他就把衣裳丢在我这里，跑出去了。”
19 Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled.
约瑟的主人听见他妻子对他所说的话，说“你的仆人如此如此待我”，他就生气，
20 And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison.
把约瑟下在监里，就是王的囚犯被囚的地方。于是约瑟在那里坐监。
21 But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison.
但耶和华与约瑟同在，向他施恩，使他在司狱的眼前蒙恩。
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.
司狱就把监里所有的囚犯都交在约瑟的手下；他们在那里所办的事都是经他的手。
23 And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
凡在约瑟手下的事，司狱一概不察，因为耶和华与约瑟同在；耶和华使他所做的尽都顺利。
