Genesis 39

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 When Joseph was taken down to Egypt, a certain Egyptian (Potiphar, a courtier of Pharaoh and his chief steward) bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.	1 Ο δε Ιωσηφ κατεβιβασθη εις την Αιγυπτον? και ο Πετεφρης ο αυλικος του Φαραω, ο αρχων των σωματοφυλακων, ανθρωπος Αιγυπτιος, ηγορασεν αυτον εκ των χειρων των Ισμαηλιτων, οιτινες κατεβιβασαν αυτον εκει.
2 But since the LORD was with him, Joseph got on very well and was assigned to the household of his Egyptian master.	2 Και ητο ο Κυριος μετα του Ιωσηφ, και ητο ανθρωπος ευοδουμενος? και ευρισκετο εν τω οικω του κυριου αυτου Αιγυπτιου.
3 When his master saw that the LORD was with him and brought him success in whatever he did,	3 Και ειδεν ο κυριος αυτου, οτι ο Κυριος ητο μετ' αυτου, και ευωδωνεν ο Κυριος εις τας χειρας αυτου παντα οσα εκαμνε.
4 he took a liking to Joseph and made him his personal attendant; he put him in charge of his household and entrusted to him all his possessions.	4 Και ευρηκεν ο Ιωσηφ χαριν εμπροσθεν αυτου και υπηρετει αυτον? και κατεστησεν αυτον επιστατην επι του οικου αυτου? και παντα οσα ειχε, παρεδωκεν εις τας χειρας αυτου.
5 From the moment that he put him in charge of his household and all his possessions, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; in fact, the LORD'S blessing was on everything he owned, both inside the house and out.	5 Και εξ εκεινου του καιρου, αφου κατεστησεν αυτον επιστατην επι του οικου αυτου και επι παντων οσα ειχεν, ευλογησεν ο Κυριος τον οικον του Αιγυπτιου εξ αιτιας του Ιωσηφ? και ητο η ευλογια του Κυριου επι παντα οσα ειχεν, εν τω οικω και εν τοις αγροις.
6 Having left everything he owned in Joseph's charge, he gave no thought, with Joseph there, to anything but the food he ate. Now Joseph was strikingly handsome in countenance and body.	6 Και παρεδωκε παντα οσα ειχεν εις τας χειρας του Ιωσηφ? και δεν ηξευρεν εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου ουδεν, πλην του αρτου τον οποιον ετρωγεν. Ητο δε ο Ιωσηφ ευειδης και ωραιος την οψιν.
7 After a time, his master's wife began to look fondly at him and said, "Lie with me."	7 Και μετα τα πραγματα ταυτα, η γυνη του κυριου αυτου ερριψε τους οφθαλμους αυτης επι τον Ιωσηφ? και ειπε, Κοιμηθητι μετ' εμου.
8 But he refused. "As long as I am here," he told her, "my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, but has entrusted to me all he owns.	8 Αλλ' εκεινος δεν ηθελε, και ειπε προς την γυναικα του κυριου αυτου, Ιδου? ο κυριος μου δεν γνωριζει ουδεν εκ των οσα ειναι μετ' εμου εν τω οικω? και παντα οσα εχει, παρεδωκεν εις τας χειρας μου?
9 He wields no more authority in this house than I do, and he has withheld from me nothing but yourself, since you are his wife. How, then, could I commit so great a wrong and thus stand condemned before God?"	9 δεν ειναι εν τω οικω τουτω ουδεις μεγαλητερος μου, ουτε ειναι απηγορευμενον εις εμε αλλο τι πλην σου, διοτι εισαι η γυνη αυτου? και πως να πραξω τουτο το μεγα κακον, και να αμαρτησω εναντιον του Θεου;
10 Although she tried to entice him day after day, he would not agree to lie beside her, or even stay near her.	10 Αν και ελαλει προς τον Ιωσηφ καθ' εκαστην ημεραν, ουτος ομως δεν υπηκουσεν εις αυτην να κοιμηθη μετ' αυτης, δια να συνευρεθη μετ' αυτης.
11 One such day, when Joseph came into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were then in the house,	11 Και ημεραν τινα εισηλθεν ο Ιωσηφ εις την οικιαν δια να καμη τα εργα αυτου, και ουδεις εκ των ανθρωπων του οικου ητο εκει εν τω οικω.
12 she laid hold of him by his cloak, saying, "Lie with me!" But leaving the cloak in her hand, he got away from her and ran outside.	12 Και εκεινη ηρπασεν αυτον απο του ιματιου αυτου, λεγουσα, Κοιμηθητι μετ' εμου? αλλ' εκεινος αφησας το ιματιον αυτου εις τας χειρας αυτης, εφυγε, και εξηλθεν εξω.
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand as he fled outside,	13 Και ως ειδεν οτι αφηκε το ιματιον αυτου εις τας χειρας αυτης και εφυγεν εξω,
14 she screamed for her household servants and told them, "Look! my husband has brought in a Hebrew slave to make sport of us! He came in here to lie with me, but I cried out as loud as I could.	14 εβοησε προς τους ανθρωπους της οικιας αυτης και ελαλησε προς αυτους, λεγουσα, Ιδετε, εφερεν εις ημας ανθρωπον Εβραιον δια να μας εμπαιξη? εισηλθε προς εμε δια να κοιμηθη μετ' εμου και εγω εβοησα μετα φωνης μεγαλης?
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran away outside."	15 και ως ηκουσεν οτι υψωσα την φωνην μου και εβοησα, αφησας το ιματιον αυτου παρ' εμοι εφυγε και εξηλθεν εξω.
16 She kept the cloak with her until his master came home.	16 Και απεθεσε το ιματιον αυτου παρ' αυτη, εωσου ηλθεν ο κυριος αυτου εις τον οικον αυτου.
17 Then she told him the same story: "The Hebrew slave whom you brought here broke in on me, to make sport of me.	17 Και ειπε προς αυτον κατα τους λογους τουτους, λεγουσα, Ο δουλος ο Εβραιος, τον οποιον εφερες εις ημας, εισηλθε προς εμε δια να με εμπαιξη,
18 But when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and fled outside."	18 και ως υψωσα την φωνην μου και εβοησα, αφησας το ιματιον αυτου παρ' εμοι, εφυγεν εξω.
19 As soon as the master heard his wife's story about how his slave had treated her, he became enraged.	19 Και ως ηκουσεν ο κυριος αυτου τους λογους της γυναικος αυτου, τους οποιους ελαλησε προς αυτον, λεγουσα, Ουτω μοι εκαμεν ο δουλος σου, εξηφθη η οργη αυτου.
20 He seized Joseph and threw him into the jail where the royal prisoners were confined. But even while he was in prison,	20 Και λαβων ο κυριος του Ιωσηφ αυτον, εβαλεν αυτον εις την οχυραν φυλακην, εις τον τοπον οπου οι δεσμιοι του βασιλεως ησαν πεφυλακισμενοι και εμενεν εκει εν τη οχυρα φυλακη.
21 the LORD remained with Joseph; he showed him kindness by making the chief jailer well-disposed toward him.	21 Αλλ' ο Κυριος ητο μετα του Ιωσηφ και επεχεεν εις αυτον ελεος, και εδωκε χαριν εις αυτον εμπροσθεν του αρχιδεσμοφυλακος.
22 The chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners in the jail, and everything that had to be done there was done under his management.	22 Και παρεδωκεν ο αρχιδεσμοφυλαξ εις τας χειρας του Ιωσηφ παντας τους δεσμιους, τους εν τη οχυρα φυλακη? και παντα οσα επραττοντο εκει, αυτος εκαμνεν αυτα.
23 The chief jailer did not concern himself with anything at all that was in Joseph's charge, since the LORD was with him and brought success to all he did.	23 Ο αρχιδεσμοφυλαξ δεν εθεωρει ουδεν εκ των οσα ησαν εις τας χειρας αυτου? διοτι ο Κυριος ητο μετ' αυτου και ο Κυριος ευωδονεν οσα αυτος εκαμνε.
