Génesis 39
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1Joseph fut donc emmené en Égypte. Putiphar, officier de Pharaon, chef des gardes, égyptien, l'acheta aux ismaélites qui l'avaient conduit dans ce pays.
2Le Seigneur fut avec Joseph, qui devint un homme heureux et fut admis dans la maison de son maître l'égyptien.
3Son maître vit que Dieu était avec lui; qu'il faisait prospérer toutes les oeuvres de ses mains,
4et Joseph trouva faveur à ses yeux et il devint son serviteur; Putiphar le mit à la tête de sa maison et lui confia tout son avoir.
5Du moment où il l'eut mis à la tête de sa maison et de toutes ses affaires, le Seigneur bénit la maison de l'Égyptien à cause de Joseph; et la bénédiction divine s'étendit sur tous ses biens, à la ville et aux champs.
6Alors il abandonna tous ses intérêts aux mains de Joseph et il ne s'occupa plus avec lui de rien, sinon du pain qu'il mangeait. Or, Joseph était beau de taille et beau de visage.
7Il arriva, après ces faits, que la femme de son maître jeta les yeux sur Joseph. Elle lui dit: "Viens reposer près de moi."
8Il s'y refusa, en disant à la femme de son maître: "Vois, mon maître ne me demande compte de rien dans sa maison et toutes ses affaires il les a remises en mes mains;
9il n'est pas plus grand que moi dans cette maison et il ne m'a rien défendu, sinon toi, parce que tu es son épouse; et comment puis je commettre un si grand méfait et offenser le Seigneur?"
10Quoiqu'elle en parlât chaque jour à Joseph, il ne cédait point à ses vœux en venant à ses côtés pour avoir commerce avec elle.
11Mais il arriva, à une de ces occasions, comme il était venu dans la maison pour faire sa besogne et qu'aucun des gens de la maison ne s'y trouvait,
12qu'elle le saisit par son vêtement, en disant: "Viens dans mes bras!" II abandonna son vêtement dans sa main, s'enfuit et s'élança dehors.
13Lorsqu'elle vit qu'il avait laissé son vêtement dans sa main et qu'il s'était échappé,
14elle appela les gens de sa maison et leur dit: "Voyez! On nous a amené un Hébreu pour nous insulter! II m'a abordée pour coucher avec moi et j'ai appelé à grands cris.
15Lui, entendant que j'élevais la voix pour appeler à mon aide, a laissé son habit près de moi et il s'est échappé et il est sorti."
16Elle garda le vêtement de Joseph par devers elle, jusqu'à ce que son maître fût rentré à la maison.
17Elle lui fit le même récit, disant: "L'esclave hébreu que tu nous a amené est venu près de moi pour m'insulter;
18puis, comme j'ai élevé la voix et que j'ai appelé, il a laissé son vêtement près de moi et a pris la fuite."
19Lorsque le maître entendit le récit que lui faisait son épouse, disant: "Voilà ce que m'a fait ton esclave", sa colère s'enflamma.
20Le maître de Joseph le fit saisir; on l’enferma dans la Rotonde, endroit ou étaient détenus les prisonniers du roi; et il resta là dans la Rotonde.
21Le Seigneur fut avec Joseph, lui attira de la bienveillance et le rendit agréable aux yeux du gouverneur de la Rotonde.
22Ce gouverneur mit sous la main de Joseph tous les prisonniers de la Rotonde; et tout ce qu'on y faisait, c'était lui qui le dirigeait.
23Le gouverneur de la Rotonde ne vérifiait rien de ce qui passait par sa main, parce que le Seigneur était avec lui; et ce qu'il entreprenait, le Seigneur le faisait réussir.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y LLEVADO José á Egipto, comprólo Potiphar, eunuco de Faraón, capitán de los de la guardia, varón Egipcio, de mano de los Ismaelitas que lo habían llevado allá.
2Mas Jehová fué con José, y fué varón prosperado: y estaba en la casa de su señor el Egipcio.
3Y vió su señor que Jehová era con él, y que todo lo que él hacía, Jehová lo hacía prosperar en su mano.
4Así halló José gracia en sus ojos, y servíale; y él le hizo mayordomo de su casa, y entregó en su poder todo lo que tenía.
5Y aconteció que, desde cuando le dió el encargo de su casa, y de todo lo que tenía, Jehová bendijo la casa del Egipcio á causa de José; y la bendición de Jehová fué sobre todo lo que tenía, así en casa como en el campo.
6Y dejó todo lo que tenía en mano de José; ni con él sabía de nada más que del pan que comía. Y era José de hermoso semblante y bella presencia.
7Y aconteció después de esto, que la mujer de su señor puso sus ojos en José, y dijo: Duerme conmigo.
8Y él no quiso, y dijo á la mujer de su señor: He aquí que mi señor no sabe conmigo lo que hay en casa, y ha puesto en mi mano todo lo que tiene:
9No hay otro mayor que yo en esta casa, y ninguna cosa me ha reservado sino á ti, por cuanto tú eres su mujer; ¿cómo, pues, haría yo este grande mal, y pecaría contra Dios?
10Y fué que hablando ella á José cada día, y no escuchándola él para acostarse al lado de ella, para estar con ella,
11Aconteció que entró él un día en casa para hacer su oficio, y no había nadie de los de casa allí en casa:
12Y asiólo ella por su ropa, diciendo: Duerme conmigo. Entonces dejóla él su ropa en las manos, y huyó, y salióse fuera.
13Y acaeció que cuando vió ella que le había dejado su ropa en sus manos, y había huído fuera,
14Llamó á los de casa, y hablóles diciendo: Mirad, nos ha traído un Hebreo, para que hiciese burla de nosotros: vino él á mí para dormir conmigo, y yo dí grandes voces;
15Y viendo que yo alzaba la voz y gritaba, dejó junto á mí su ropa, y huyó, y salióse fuera.
16Y ella puso junto á sí la ropa de él, hasta que vino su señor á su casa.
17Entonces le habló ella semejantes palabras, diciendo: El siervo Hebreo que nos trajiste, vino á mí para deshonrarme;
18Y como yo alcé mi voz y grité, él dejó su ropa junto á mí, y huyó fuera.
19Y sucedió que como oyó su señor las palabras que su mujer le hablara, diciendo: Así me ha tratado tu siervo; encendióse su furor.
20Y tomó su señor á José, y púsole en la casa de la cárcel, donde estaban los presos del rey, y estuvo allí en la casa de la cárcel.
21Mas Jehová fué con José, y extendió á él su misericordia, y dióle gracia en ojos del principal de la casa de la cárcel.
22Y el principal de la casa de la cárcel entregó en mano de José todos los presos que había en aquella prisión; todo lo que hacían allí, él lo hacía.
23No veía el principal de la cárcel cosa alguna que en su mano estaba; porque Jehová era con él, y lo que él hacía, Jehová lo prosperaba.
King James Version
1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
2And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
7And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
16And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
17And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
18And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
21But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
World English Bible
1Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5From 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 LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
10As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
20Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
21But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
23The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
