Genesis 39

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 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.	1 Igitur Ioseph ductus est in Aegyptum; emitque eum Pu tiphar eunuchus pharaonis, princeps satellitum, vir Aegyptius, de manu Ismaelitarum, a quibus perductus erat.
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master's house,	2 Fuitque Dominus cum eo, et erat vir in cunctis prospere agens habitabatque in domo domini sui.
3 Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.	3 Qui optime noverat esse Dominum cum eo et omnia, quae gereret, ab eo dirigi in manu illius.
4 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:	4 Invenitque loseph gratiam coram domino suo et ministrabat ei. Et factum est, postquam praeposuit eum domui suae et omnia, quae possidebat, tradidit in manum eius,
5 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.	5 benedixit Dominus domui Aegyptii propter Ioseph, et benedictio Domini erat in omni possessione eius tam in aedibus quam in agris.

7 h And after many days his mistress 'cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.	7 Post haec ergo iniecit uxor domini eius oculos suos in Ioseph et ait: “ Dormi mecum ”.
8 Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.	8 Qui nequaquam acquiescens dixit ad eam: “ Ecce dominus meus, omnibus mihi traditis, non curat de ulla re in domo sua,
	9 nec quisquam maior est in domo hac quam ego, et nihil mihi subtraxit praeter te, quae uxor eius es. Quomodo ergo possum malum hoc magnum facere et peccare in Deum? ”.
10 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:	10 Huiuscemodi verbis per singulos dies et mulier molesta erat adulescenti, et ille recusabat stuprum.
11 Neither is there any thing which is hot 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 I sin against my God?	11 Accidit autem quadam die, ut intraret Ioseph domum et opus suum absque arbitris faceret;
12 With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.	12 illa, apprehensa lacinia vestimenti eius, dixit: “ Dormi mecum ”. Qui, relicto in manu illius pallio, fugit et egressus est foras.
13 Now it happened on it certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:	13 Cumque vidisset illum mulier vestem reliquisse in manibus suis et fugisse foras,
14 And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.	14 vocavit homines domus suae et ait ad eos: “ En introduxit virum Hebraeum, ut illuderet nobis; ingressus est ad me, ut coiret mecum. Cumque ego succlamassem,
15 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,	15 et audisset vocem meam, reliquit pallium, quod tenebam, et fugit foras ”.
16 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,	16 Retentum pallium ostendit marito revertenti domum

18 And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.	18 cumque audisset me clamare, reliquit pallium, quod tenebam, et fugit foras ”.
	19 Dominus, auditis his verbis coniugis, iratus est valde;
20 For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:	20 tradiditque Ioseph in carcerem, ubi vincti regis custodiebantur. Et erat ibi clausus.
21 And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou best brought, came to me to abuse me.	21 Fuit autem Dominus cum Ioseph et misertus illius dedit ei gratiam in conspectu principis carceris.
22 And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.	22 Qui tradidit in manu Ioseph universos vinctos, qui in custodia tenebantur, et, quidquid ibi faciendum erat, ipse faciebat,
23 His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife's words, was very angry.	23 nec princeps carceris spectabat quidquid in manu eius erat: Dominus enim erat cum illo et omnia opera eius dirigebat.
24 And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king's prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
25 But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
