Genesis 39

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	BIBBIA MARTINI
1 Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.	1 Giuseppe adunque fu condotto in Egitto, e lo comperò Putiphar Egiziano eunuco di Faraone, capitano dell'esercito degl'Ismaeliti, che ve l'aveano condotto.
2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian,	2 E il Signore era con lui, e gli riusciva bene tutto quel che faceva: e abitava nella casa del suo padrone,
3 and his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hands.	3 Il quale benissimo conoscea, che era con lui il Signore, e conduceva a buon fine tutto quello che intraprendeva.
4 So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.	4 E Giuseppe trovò grazia dinanzi al suo padrone, e lo serviva, ed essendogli stata data da lui la soprintendenza di tutte le cose, governava la casa a sé affidata, e tutti i beni rimessi nelle sue mani.
5 From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had, in house and field.	5 E il Signore benedisse la casa dell'Egiziano per amor di Giuseppe, e moltiplicò tutte le facoltà di lui tanto in casa, come alla campagna,
6 So he left all that he had in Joseph's charge; and having him he had no concern for anything but the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and good-looking.	6 Ed egli non avea altro pensiero, che di mettersi a tavola a mangiare. Or Giuseppe era di volto avvenente, e di graziosa presenza.
7 And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, "Lie with me."	7 Passato adunque assai tempo, la padrona fissò i suoi occhi sopra Giuseppe, e disse: Dormi meco.
8 But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Lo, having me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my hand;	8 Il quale non acconsentendo all'opera indegna, le disse: Tu vedi come il mio padrone avendo rimessa ogni cosa nelle mie mani, non sa quel che si abbia in sua casa:
9 he is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept back anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife; how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"	9 E veruna cosa non è, ch'ei non abbia a me affidata, e di cui non m'abbia fatto padrone, fuori di te, che sei sua moglie: come adunque poss'io fare questo male, e peccare contro il mio Dio?
10 And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie with her or to be with her.	10 Cogli stessi discorsi ogni dì e la donna inquietava il giovinetto, ed egli ricusava di peccare.
11 But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,	11 Ma avvenne, che un dì Giuseppe entrò in casa, e si pose a far qualche cosa non avendo alcun con sé:
12 she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me." But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and got out of the house.	12 E quella, preso l'orlo del suo mantello, gli disse: Vieni con me. Ma egli lasciato in man di lei il mantello, si fuggì fuori di casa.
13 And when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled out of the house,	13 E la donna veggendo in sue mani il mantello, e sé disprezzata:
14 she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to insult us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice;	14 Chiamò a sé la gente di casa, e disse loro: Ecco che egli ha condotto qua quest'uomo Ebreo, perché ci facesse vergogna. Egli è venuto a trovarmi per peccare con me: e avendo io alzato le grida,
15 and when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled and got out of the house."	15 Egli all'udir la mia voce ha lasciato il mantello, per cui io lo teneva, e si è fuggito.
16 Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home,	16 In prova adunque della serbata fede fece veder al marito tornato a casa il mantello ritenuto,
17 and she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to insult me;	17 E disse: È venuto a trovarmi quel servo Ebreo, che tu hai condotto a svergognarmi:
18 but as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out of the house."	18 Il quale, sentito come io alzava le grida, ha lasciato il mantello, che io teneva, ed è scappato.
19 When his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, "This is the way your servant treated me," his anger was kindled.	19 Tali cose avendo udite il padrone troppo facile a credere alle parole della moglie, ne concepì grande sdegno:
20 And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.	20 E fece metter Giuseppe nella prigione, in cui erano tenuti i rei di delitto commesso contro del re, ed egli fu quivi rinchiuso.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.	21 Ma il Signore fu con Giuseppe, e avendo compassione di lui fece sì, ch'ei trovò grazia dinanzi al provveditore della prigione.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatever was done there, he was the doer of it;	22 Il quale diede a lui potestà sopra tutti i prigionieri, che erano in quella carcere: e tutto quello che si facea, era fatto per suo ordine.
23 the keeper of the prison paid no heed to anything that was in Joseph's care, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.	23 E quegli non pensava a nulla, avendo dato di ogni cosa l'arbitrio a Giuseppe: perocché il Signore era con lui, e conduceva a buon fine tutto quel ch'ei faceva.
