Genesis 39

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 Meanwhile, Joseph was led into Egypt. And Putiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, a leader of the army, an Egyptian man, purchased him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, by whom he was brought.	1 ιωσηφ δε κατηχθη εις αιγυπτον και εκτησατο αυτον πετεφρης ο ευνουχος φαραω αρχιμαγειρος ανηρ αιγυπτιος εκ χειρος ισμαηλιτων οι κατηγαγον αυτον εκει
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a man who prospered in everything that he did. And he lived in the house of his lord,	2 και ην κυριος μετα ιωσηφ και ην ανηρ επιτυγχανων και εγενετο εν τω οικω παρα τω κυριω τω αιγυπτιω
3 who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and that all the things that were done by him were directed by his hand.	3 ηδει δε ο κυριος αυτου οτι κυριος μετ' αυτου και οσα αν ποιη κυριος ευοδοι εν ταις χερσιν αυτου
4 And Joseph found favor in the sight of his lord, and he ministered to him. And, having been placed in charge of everything by him, he governed the house that was entrusted to him and all the things that had been delivered to him.	4 και ευρεν ιωσηφ χαριν εναντιον του κυριου αυτου ευηρεστει δε αυτω και κατεστησεν αυτον επι του οικου αυτου και παντα οσα ην αυτω εδωκεν δια χειρος ιωσηφ
5 And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian, because of Joseph, and he multiplied all his substance, as much in the buildings, as in the fields.	5 εγενετο δε μετα το κατασταθηναι αυτον επι του οικου αυτου και επι παντα οσα ην αυτω και ηυλογησεν κυριος τον οικον του αιγυπτιου δια ιωσηφ και εγενηθη ευλογια κυριου εν πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτω εν τω οικω και εν τω αγρω
6 Neither did he know anything other than the bread that he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form, and stately in appearance.	6 και επετρεψεν παντα οσα ην αυτω εις χειρας ιωσηφ και ουκ ηδει των καθ' εαυτον ουδεν πλην του αρτου ου ησθιεν αυτος και ην ιωσηφ καλος τω ειδει και ωραιος τη οψει σφοδρα
7 And so, after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Sleep with me.”	7 και εγενετο μετα τα ρηματα ταυτα και επεβαλεν η γυνη του κυριου αυτου τους οφθαλμους αυτης επι ιωσηφ και ειπεν κοιμηθητι μετ' εμου
8 And without consenting at all to the wicked act, he said to her: “Behold, my lord has delivered all things to me, and he does not know what he has in his own house.	8 ο δε ουκ ηθελεν ειπεν δε τη γυναικι του κυριου αυτου ει ο κυριος μου ου γινωσκει δι' εμε ουδεν εν τω οικω αυτου και παντα οσα εστιν αυτω εδωκεν εις τας χειρας μου
9 Neither is there anything which is not in my power, or that he has not delivered to me, except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this evil act and sin against my God?”	9 και ουχ υπερεχει εν τη οικια ταυτη ουθεν εμου ουδε υπεξηρηται απ' εμου ουδεν πλην σου δια το σε γυναικα αυτου ειναι και πως ποιησω το ρημα το πονηρον τουτο και αμαρτησομαι εναντιον του θεου
10 With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.	10 ηνικα δε ελαλει τω ιωσηφ ημεραν εξ ημερας και ουχ υπηκουσεν αυτη καθευδειν μετ' αυτης του συγγενεσθαι αυτη
11 Then it happened, on a certain day, that Joseph entered the house, and he was doing something, without any witnesses.	11 εγενετο δε τοιαυτη τις ημερα εισηλθεν ιωσηφ εις την οικιαν ποιειν τα εργα αυτου και ουθεις ην των εν τη οικια εσω
12 And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, “Sleep with me.” But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.	12 και επεσπασατο αυτον των ιματιων λεγουσα κοιμηθητι μετ' εμου και καταλιπων τα ιματια αυτου εν ταις χερσιν αυτης εφυγεν και εξηλθεν εξω
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,	13 και εγενετο ως ειδεν οτι κατελιπεν τα ιματια αυτου εν ταις χερσιν αυτης και εφυγεν και εξηλθεν εξω
14 she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: “Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,	14 και εκαλεσεν τους οντας εν τη οικια και ειπεν αυτοις λεγουσα ιδετε εισηγαγεν ημιν παιδα εβραιον εμπαιζειν ημιν εισηλθεν προς με λεγων κοιμηθητι μετ' εμου και εβοησα φωνη μεγαλη
15 and he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”	15 εν δε τω ακουσαι αυτον οτι υψωσα την φωνην μου και εβοησα καταλιπων τα ιματια αυτου παρ' εμοι εφυγεν και εξηλθεν εξω
16 As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.	16 και καταλιμπανει τα ιματια παρ' εαυτη εως ηλθεν ο κυριος εις τον οικον αυτου
17 And she said: “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.	17 και ελαλησεν αυτω κατα τα ρηματα ταυτα λεγουσα εισηλθεν προς με ο παις ο εβραιος ον εισηγαγες προς ημας εμπαιξαι μοι και ειπεν μοι κοιμηθησομαι μετα σου
18 And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”	18 ως δε ηκουσεν οτι υψωσα την φωνην μου και εβοησα κατελιπεν τα ιματια αυτου παρ' εμοι και εφυγεν και εξηλθεν εξω
19 His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.	19 εγενετο δε ως ηκουσεν ο κυριος αυτου τα ρηματα της γυναικος αυτου οσα ελαλησεν προς αυτον λεγουσα ουτως εποιησεν μοι ο παις σου και εθυμωθη οργη
20 And he delivered Joseph into prison, where the prisoners of the king were kept, and he was enclosed in that place.	20 και λαβων ο κυριος ιωσηφ ενεβαλεν αυτον εις το οχυρωμα εις τον τοπον εν ω οι δεσμωται του βασιλεως κατεχονται εκει εν τω οχυρωματι
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and, having mercy on him, he gave him favor in the sight of the leader of the prison,	21 και ην κυριος μετα ιωσηφ και κατεχεεν αυτου ελεος και εδωκεν αυτω χαριν εναντιον του αρχιδεσμοφυλακος
22 who delivered into his hand all the prisoners who were held in custody. And whatever was done, was under him.	22 και εδωκεν ο αρχιδεσμοφυλαξ το δεσμωτηριον δια χειρος ιωσηφ και παντας τους απηγμενους οσοι εν τω δεσμωτηριω και παντα οσα ποιουσιν εκει
23 Neither did he himself know anything, having entrusted all things to him. For the Lord was with him, and he directed everything that he did.	23 ουκ ην ο αρχιδεσμοφυλαξ του δεσμωτηριου γινωσκων δι' αυτον ουθεν παντα γαρ ην δια χειρος ιωσηφ δια το τον κυριον μετ' αυτου ειναι και οσα αυτος εποιει κυριος ευωδου εν ταις χερσιν αυτου
