And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.
39:2
待機
And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house,
39:3
待機
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
39:4
待機
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:
39:5
待機
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph’s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
39:6
待機
Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
39:7
待機
And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
39:8
待機
But he, in no wise consenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house:
39:9
待機
Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife: how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God?
39:10
待機
With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
39:11
待機
Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
39:12
待機
And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.
39:13
待機
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
39:14
待機
She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,
39:15
待機
And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
39:16
待機
For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
39:17
待機
And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
39:18
待機
And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
39:19
待機
His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry.
39:20
待機
And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
39:21
待機
But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
39:22
待機
Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
39:23
待機
Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
