1 Ja Joosep viidi alla Egiptusesse; ja egiptlane Pootifar, vaarao hoovkondlane, ihukaitsepealik, ostis tema ismaeliitidelt, kes olid ta sinna toonud.
2 Aga Issand oli Joosepiga ja tema oli mees, kellel kõik asjad korda läksid; ja ta elas oma isanda, egiptlase kojas.
3 Ka tema isand nägi, et Issand oli temaga ja et kõik, mis ta tegi, Issand laskis tema käes korda minna.
4 Ja Joosep leidis armu tema silmis ning teenis teda; ja ta pani tema oma koja üle, ja kõik, mis tal oli, ta andis tema kätte.
5 Ja sellest ajast peale, kui ta oli pannud tema oma koja üle, ja kõige üle, mis tal oli, Issand õnnistas egiptlase koda Joosepi pärast, ja Issand õnnistus oli kõigega, mis tal oli kojas ja väljal.
6 Ja ta jättis kõik, mis tal oli, Joosepi kätte ega teadnud millestki, kui ainult leivast, mida ta sõi; Joosep oli jumekas ja ilusa välimusega.
7 Nende asjaolude tõttu sündis, et ta isanda naine Joosepile silma heitis ja ütles: „Maga mu juures!"
8 Aga ta keeldus ja ütles oma isanda naisele: „Vaata, mu isand ise ei tea, mis kojas on, ja kõik, mis tal on, ta on andnud minu kätte.
9 Ei ole ükski selles kojas suurem minust ja tema ei ole mulle keelanud midagi muud kui sind, sest sa oled tema naine. Kuidas tohiksin siis teha seda suurt kurja ja pattu oma Jumala vastu?"
10 Ja kuigi naine rääkis Joosepile iga päev, ei kuulanud see teda, et ta magaks ta kõrval ja oleks ta juures.
11 Aga ühel päeval, kui Joosep tuli koju oma toimetusi tegema ja ühtki inimest pererahvast ei olnud kodus,
12 ta haaras kinni tema kuuest, öeldes: „Maga mu juures!" Aga Joosep jättis oma kuue tema kätte, põgenes ja läks õue.
13 Ja kui naine nägi, et ta oma kuue oli jätnud tema kätte ja oli põgenenud õue,
14 siis ta hüüdis pererahvast ja rääkis neile, öeldes: „Näete, ta on toonud meie juurde heebrea mehe meid ära naerma! Ta tuli mu juurde, et minuga magada, aga ma hüüdsin suure häälega,
15 ja kui ta kuulis, et ma häält tõstsin ja hüüdsin, siis ta jättis oma kuue mu juurde, põgenes ja läks õue!"
16 Ja ta pani tema kuue enese kõrvale seniks, kui ta isand koju tuli.
17 Ja ta rääkis temale needsamad sõnad, öeldes: „Heebrea sulane, kelle sa oled meie juurde toonud, tuli mu juurde mind ära naerma.
18 Aga kui ma häält tõstsin ja hüüdsin, siis ta jättis oma kuue mu juurde ja põgenes õue!"
19 Ja kui ta isand kuulis oma naise jutustust, mida see temale rääkis, öeldes: „Nõndaviisi on su sulane minuga teinud!" siis ta viha süttis põlema.
20 Ja Joosepi isand võttis tema ja pani vangihoonesse, sinna paika, kus kuninga vange kinni peeti. Siis oli ta seal vangihoones.
21 Aga Issand oli Joosepiga ja pööras tema poole Oma helduse ning tegi, et ta sai vangihoone ülema soosikuks.
22 Ja vangihoone ülem andis Joosepi kätte kõik vangid, kes olid vangihoones, ja kõik, mis seal pidi tehtama, seadis tema.
23 Vangihoone ülem ei vaadanud millegi järele, mis oli tema käes, sest Issand oli temaga ja mis ta tegi, Issand laskis korda minna.
1 Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar the Egyptian, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house, got him for a price from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.
4 And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.
5 And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.
6 And he gave Joseph control of all his property, keeping no account of anything, but only the food which was put before him. Now Joseph was very beautiful in form and face.
7 And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.
8 But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;
9 So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?
10 And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.
11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.
12 And pulling at his coat, she said, Come to my bed; but slipping out of his coat, he went running away.
13 And when she saw that he had got away, letting her keep his coat,
14 She sent for the men of her house and said to them, See, he has let a Hebrew come here and make sport of us; he came to my bed, and I gave a loud cry;
15 And hearing it he went running out without his coat.
16 And she kept his coat by her, till his master came back.
17 Then she gave him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you have taken into our house came in to make sport of me;
18 And when I gave a loud cry he went running out without his coat.
19 And hearing his wife's account of what his servant had done, he became very angry.
20 And Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept in chains, and he was there in the prison-house.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and was good to him, and made the keeper of the prison his friend.
22 And the keeper of the prison put all the prisoners under Joseph's control, and he was responsible for whatever was done there.
23 And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.
