Genesis 39

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA TINTORI
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.	1 Giuseppe adunque fu menato in Egitto, e, dagli Ismaeliti che l'avevan condotto, lo comprò l'egiziano Putifar, eunuco di Faraone, e capitano dell'esercito.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.	2 Or il Signore era con Giuseppe, al quale riusciva bene tutto quel che faceva. E Giuseppe abitando nella casa del suo padrone,
3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.	3 che ben conosceva come il Signore fosse con lui e gli facesse prosperare nelle mani tutto ciò che intraprendeva,
4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.	4 entrò nelle grazie di lui, e servendolo come sopraintendente di tutte le cose, governava la casa che gli era stata affidata e tutti i beni rimessi nelle sue mani.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made 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.	5 E il Signore benedisse la casa dell'Egiziano per amor di Giuseppe, e ne moltiplicò tutti i beni, tanto in casa che in campagna.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.	6 Così Putifar non aveva altro pensiero che di mettersi a tavola a mangiare. Or Giuseppe era di volto avvenente e di bella presenza.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.	7 Passato adunque un po' di tempo, la padrona, mise gli occhi addosso a Giuseppe e gli disse: « Dormi con me ».
8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;	8 Ma egli, non acconsentendo all'azione indegna, disse: « Ecco, il mio padrone, avendo messo tutto nelle mie mani, non sa quel che abbia in casa;
9 There is none 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?	9 e tutto ha dato in mio potere, mi ha affidato tutto, tranne te che sei sua moglie. Come dunque potrei commettere questo male e peccare contro il mio Dio? »
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.	10 Sebbene la donna tutti i giorni molestasse il giovinetto con simili discorsi, egli non acconsentì mai al peccato.
11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.	11 Or avvenne che un giorno, essendo Giuseppe entrato in casa per fare un certo lavoro, e non essendoci alcun testimonio,
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.	12 essa, afferrato l'orlo del suo mantello, gli disse: « Vieni a dormire con me ». Ma egli, lasciatole in mano il mantello, se ne fuggì fuori.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,	13 E la donna, vedendosi col mantello nelle mani e disprezzata,
14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:	14 chiamò la gente di casa e disse loro: « Guardate, ha menato in casa un Ebreo, perchè ci schernisse. Egli è venuto da me per giacersi meco, ma avendo io gridato,
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.	15 appena ha sentito la mia voce, m'ha lasciato in mano il suo mantello e se n'è fuggito via ».
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.	16 E in prova della sua fedeltà, quando il marito tornò a casa, gli fece vedere il mantello che essa aveva ritenuto,
17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:	17 e disse: «Quel servo ebreo che tu ci hai menato è venuto da me per schernirmi;
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.	18 ma, sentiti i miei gridi, mi ha lasciato in mano il mantello ed è fuggito ».
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.	19 Sentite queste cose, il padrone, troppo credulo alle parole della moglie, arse di grande sdegno,
20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.	20 e fece mettere Giuseppe nella prigione ove erano detenuti i carcerati del re, e ce lo fece rinchiudere.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.	21 Ma il Signore fu con Giuseppe, e avendo compassione di lui, lo fece entrar nelle grazie del governatore della prigione,
22 And 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.	22 il quale gli affidò tutti i prigionieri che erano nel carcere, e tutto era fatto sotto i suoi ordini.
23 The 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.	23 E al governatore, avendo affidata ogni cosa a Giuseppe, non pensava a nulla, perchè il Signore era con Giuseppe e faceva prosperare tutto quello che egli intraprendeva.
