Genesis 39
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither.
1ΙΩΣΗΦ δὲ κατήχθη εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐκτήσατο αὐτὸν Πετεφρὴς ὁ εὐνοῦχος Φαραώ, ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος, ἀνὴρ Αἰγύπτιος, ἐκ χειρῶν τῶν Ἰσμαηλιτῶν, οἳ κατήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
2And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
2καὶ ἦν Κύριος μετὰ Ἰωσήφ, καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ ἐπιτυγχάνων καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ Αἰγυπτίῳ.
3And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
3ᾔδει δὲ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν ποιῇ, Κύριος εὐοδοῖ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ.
4And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
4καὶ εὗρεν Ἰωσὴφ χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐηρέστησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ, ἔδωκε διὰ χειρὸς Ἰωσήφ.
5And it came to pass from the time that he appointed him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
5ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ καταστῆναι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ, καὶ ηὐλόγησε Κύριος τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου διὰ Ἰωσήφ, καὶ ἐγενήθη εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ.
6And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and, having him, he knew not aught save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was of beautiful form, and fair to look upon.
6καὶ ἐπέτρεψε πάντα, ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ, εἰς χεῖρας Ἰωσὴφ καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει τῶν καθ᾿ αὑτὸν οὐδὲν πλὴν τοῦ ἄρτου, οὗ ἤσθιεν αὐτός. Καὶ ἦν Ἰωσὴφ καλὸς τῷ εἴδει καὶ ὡραῖος τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα.
7And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said: 'Lie with me.'
7καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα καὶ ἐπέβαλεν ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς ἐπὶ Ἰωσὴφ καὶ εἶπε· κοιμήθητι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
8But he refused, and said unto his master's wife: 'Behold, my master, having me, knoweth not what is in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand;
8ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἤθελεν, εἶπε δὲ τῇ γυναικὶ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ· εἰ ὁ κύριός μου οὐ γινώσκει δι᾿ ἐμὲ οὐδὲν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῷ, ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς χεῖράς μου
9he is not greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?'
9καὶ οὐχ ὑπερέχει ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ταύτῃ οὐδὲν ἐμοῦ, οὐδὲ ὑπεξῃ£ρηται ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ οὐδὲν πλὴν σοῦ, διὰ τὸ σὲ γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ εἶναι, καὶ πῶς ποιήσω τὸ ρῆμα τὸ πονηρὸν τοῦτο, καὶ ἁμαρτήσομαι ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ;
10And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
10ἡνίκα δὲ ἐλάλει τῷ Ἰωσὴφ ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουεν αὐτῇ καθεύδειν μετ᾿ αὐτῆς τοῦ συγγενέσθαι αὐτῇ.
11And it came to pass on a certain day, when he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there within,
11ἐγένετο δὲ τοιαύτη τις ἡμέρα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰωσὴφ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ποιεῖν τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἦν τῶν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἔσω,
12that she caught him by his garment, saying: 'Lie with me.' And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
12καὶ ἐπεσπάσατο αὐτὸν τῶν ἱματίων λέγουσα· κοιμήθητι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ. καὶ καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς ἔφυγε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω.
13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
13καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν, ὅτι καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς ἔφυγε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω,
14that she called unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying: 'See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
14καὶ ἐκάλεσε τοὺς ὄντας ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς λέγουσα· ἴδετε, εἰσήγαγεν ἡμῖν παῖδα Ἑβραῖον ἐμπαίζειν ἡμῖν· εἰσῆλθε πρός με λέγων· κοιμήθητι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐβόησα φωνῇ μεγάλῃ·
15And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out.'
15ἐν δὲ τῷ ἀκοῦσαι αὐτὸν ὅτι ὕψωσα τὴν φωνήν μου καὶ ἐβόησα, καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ ἔφυγε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω.
16And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
16καὶ καταλιμπάνει τὰ ἱμάτια παρ᾿ ἑαυτῇ, ἕως ἦλθεν ὁ κύριος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
17And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying: 'The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me.
17καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα λέγουσα· εἰσῆλθε πρός με ὁ παῖς ὁ Ἑβραῖος, ὃν εἰσήγαγες πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἐμπαῖξαί μοι καὶ εἶπέ μοι· κοιμηθήσομαι μετὰ σοῦ·
18And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.'
18ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν ὅτι ὕψωσα τὴν φωνήν μου καὶ ἐβόησα, καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ ἔφυγε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω.
19And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying: 'After this manner did thy servant to me'; that his wrath was kindled.
19ἐγένετο δέ, ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ τὰ ρήματα τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ὅσα ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτόν, λέγουσα· οὕτως ἐποίησέ μοι ὁ παῖς σου, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ.
20And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound; and he was there in the prison.
20καὶ λαβὼν ὁ κύριος Ἰωσὴφ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ὀχύρωμα, εἰς τὸν τόπον, ἐν ᾦ οἱ δεσμῶται τοῦ βασιλέως κατέχονται ἐκεῖ ἐν τῷ ὀχυρώματι.
21But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
21Καὶ ἦν Κύριος μετὰ Ἰωσὴφ καὶ κατέχεεν αὐτοῦ ἔλεος καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλακος,
22And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
22καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλαξ τὸ δεσμωτήριον διὰ χειρὸς Ἰωσὴφ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀπηγμένους, ὅσοι ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ποιοῦσιν ἐκεῖ, αὐτὸς ἦν ποιῶν.
23The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
23οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλαξ τοῦ δεσμωτηρίου γινώσκων δι᾿ αὐτὸν οὐδέν· πάντα γὰρ ἦν διὰ χειρὸς Ἰωσὴφ διὰ τὸ τὸν Κύριον μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἶναι, καὶ ὅσα αὐτὸς ἐποίει, ὁ Κύριος εὐώδου ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ.
