Genesi (تكوين) 39

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 واما يوسف فانزل الى مصر واشتراه فوطيفار خصي فرعون رئيس الشرط رجل مصري من يد الاسمعيليين الذين انزلوه الى هناك.	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.
2 وكان الرب مع يوسف فكان رجلا ناجحا. وكان في بيت سيده المصري	2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master's house,
3 ورأى سيده ان الرب معه وان كل ما يصنع كان الرب ينحجه بيده.	3 Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 فوجد يوسف نعمة في عينيه وخدمه. فوكله على بيته ودفع الى يده كل ما كان له.	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:
5 وكان من حين وكله على بيته وعلى كل ما كان له ان الرب بارك بيت المصري بسبب يوسف. وكانت بركة الرب على كل ما كان له في البيت وفي الحقل.	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.
6 فترك كل ما كان له في يد يوسف. ولم يكن معه يعرف شيئا الا الخبز الذي يأكل. وكان يوسف حسن الصورة وحسن المنظر	6 dummy verses inserted by amos
7 وحدث بعد هذه الامور ان امرأة سيده رفعت عينيها الى يوسف وقالت اضطجع معي.	7 h And after many days his mistress 'cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
8 فأبى وقال لامرأة سيده هوذا سيدي لا يعرف معي ما في البيت وكل ما له قد دفعه الى يدي.	8 Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
9 ليس هو في هذا البيت اعظم مني. ولم يمسك عني شيئا غيرك لانك امرأته. فكيف اصنع هذا الشر العظيم واخطئ الى الله.
10 وكان اذ كلّمت يوسف يوما فيوما انه لم يسمع لها ان يضطجع بجانبها ليكون معها	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:
11 ثم حدث نحو هذا الوقت انه دخل البيت ليعمل عمله ولم يكن انسان من اهل البيت هناك في البيت.	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?
12 فامسكته بثوبه قائلة اضطجع معي. فترك ثوبه في يدها وهرب وخرج الى خارج.	12 With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
13 وكان لما رأت انه ترك ثوبه في يدها وهرب الى خارج	13 Now it happened on it certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
14 انها نادت اهل بيتها وكلمتهم قائلة انظروا. قد جاء الينا برجل عبراني ليداعبنا. دخل اليّ ليضطجع معي فصرخت بصوت عظيم.	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.
15 وكان لما سمع اني رفعت صوتي وصرخت انه ترك ثوبه بجانبي وهرب وخرج الى خارج	15 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
16 فوضعت ثوبه بجانبها حتى جاء سيده الى بيته.	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,
17 فكلمته بمثل هذا الكلام قائلة دخل اليّ العبد العبراني الذي جئت به الينا ليداعبني.	17 dummy verses inserted by amos
18 وكان لما رفعت صوتي وصرخت انه ترك ثوبه بجانبي وهرب الى خارج	18 And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
19 فكان لما سمع سيده كلام امرأته الذي كلمته به قائلة بحسب هذا الكلام صنع بي عبدك ان غضبه حمي.
20 فأخذ يوسف سيده ووضعه في بيت السجن المكان الذي كان اسرى الملك محبوسين فيه. وكان هناك في بيت السجن	20 For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
21 ولكن الرب كان مع يوسف وبسط اليه لطفا وجعل نعمة له في عيني رئيس بيت السجن.	21 And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou best brought, came to me to abuse me.
22 فدفع رئيس بيت السجن الى يد يوسف جميع الاسرى الذين في بيت السجن. وكل ما كانوا يعملون هناك كان هو العامل.	22 And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
23 ولم يكن رئيس بيت السجن ينظر شيئا البتة مّما في يده. لان الرب كان معه ومهما صنع كان الرب ينجحه	23 His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife's words, was very angry.
	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:
