Genesis 39

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now Joseph had been taken down into Egypt. Potiphar the Egyptian, one of Pharaoh's officials andcommander of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down 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 Yahweh was with Joseph, and everything he undertook was successful. He lodged in the house of hisEgyptian master,	2 Και ητο ο Κυριος μετα του Ιωσηφ, και ητο ανθρωπος ευοδουμενος? και ευρισκετο εν τω οικω του κυριου αυτου Αιγυπτιου.
3 and when his master saw how Yahweh was with him and how Yahweh made everything he undertooksuccessful,	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 was pleased with Joseph and made him his personal attendant; and his master put him in chargeof his household, entrusting him with al 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 And from the time he put him in charge of his household and al his possessions, Yahweh blessed theEgyptian's household out of consideration for Joseph; Yahweh's blessing extended to al his possessions, bothhousehold and estate.	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 So he left Joseph to handle al his possessions, and with him there, concerned himself with nothingbeyond the food he ate. Now Joseph was wel built and handsome,	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 and it happened some time later that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, 'Sleep withme.'	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. 'Look,' he said to his master's wife, 'with me here, my master does not concernhimself with what happens in the house, having entrusted al his possessions to me.	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 himself wields no more authority in this house than I do. He has exempted nothing from me exceptyourself, because you are his wife. How could I do anything so wicked, and sin against 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 spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not agree to sleep with her or be with 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 But one day when Joseph came into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the householdhappened to be indoors,	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 caught hold of him by his tunic and said, 'Sleep with me.' But he left the tunic in her hand, took tohis heels and got out.	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 the tunic in her hands as he ran out,	13 Και ως ειδεν οτι αφηκε το ιματιον αυτου εις τας χειρας αυτης και εφυγεν εξω,
14 she cal ed her servants and said to them, 'Look at this! My husband brought in a Hebrew to make afool of me! He burst in on me, but I screamed,	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 and when he heard me scream, he left his tunic beside me and ran out of the house.'	15 και ως ηκουσεν οτι υψωσα την φωνην μου και εβοησα, αφησας το ιματιον αυτου παρ' εμοι εφυγε και εξηλθεν εξω.
16 She kept his tunic by 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 tale, 'The Hebrew slave you brought to us burst in on me to make a foolof 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, he left his tunic beside me and ran away.'	18 και ως υψωσα την φωνην μου και εβοησα, αφησας το ιματιον αυτου παρ' εμοι, εφυγεν εξω.
19 When his master heard his wife say, 'This was how your slave treated me,' he became furious.	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 Joseph's master had him arrested and committed to the gaol where the king's prisoners were kept.And there in gaol he stayed.	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 But Yahweh was with Joseph. He showed him faithful love and made him popular with the chiefgaoler.	21 Αλλ' ο Κυριος ητο μετα του Ιωσηφ και επεχεεν εις αυτον ελεος, και εδωκε χαριν εις αυτον εμπροσθεν του αρχιδεσμοφυλακος.
22 The chief gaoler put Joseph in charge of al the prisoners in the gaol, making him responsible foreverything done there.	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 gaoler did not bother about anything put in his charge, since Yahweh was with him, andYahweh made everything he undertook successful.	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.
