¹

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down thither.

¹

Іо́сифъ же приведе́нъ бы́сть во Єги́петъ. И купи́ єго́ Пентефрі́й євну́хъ фарао́новъ архімагі́ръ, му́жъ Єги́птянинъ, от ру́къ Ісма́илтянъ, и́же приведо́ша єго́ та́мо.

²

And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.

²

И бя́ше Госпо́дь со Іо́сифомъ: и бя́ше му́жъ благополу́ченъ, и бы́сть въ дому́ господи́на своєго́ Єги́птянина.

³

And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatsoever he happens to do.

³

Вѣ́дяше же господи́нъ єго́, я́ко Госпо́дь бѣ́ съ ни́мъ, и єли́ка твори́тъ, Госпо́дь благоустроя́єтъ въ руку́ єго́.

⁴

And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.

⁴

И обрѣ́те Іо́сифъ благода́ть предъ господи́номъ свои́мъ и благоугоди́ єму́: и поста́ви єго́ надъ до́момъ свои́мъ, и вся́, єли́ка бы́ша єму́, даде́ въ ру́ки Іо́сифовы.

⁵

And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.

⁵

Бы́сть же єгда́ поста́ви єго́ надъ до́момъ свои́мъ и надъ всѣ́ми, єли́ка имѣ́яше, и благослови́ Госпо́дь до́мъ Єги́птянина Іо́сифа ра́ди: и бы́сть благослове́ніє Госпо́дне на все́мъ имѣ́ніи єго́ въ дому́ и въ се́лѣхъ єго́.

⁶

And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.

⁶

И предаде́ вся́, єли́ка бы́ша єму́, въ ру́ки Іо́сифовы: и не вѣ́дяше от су́щихъ у себе́ ничто́же, кромѣ́ хлѣ́ба, єго́же ядя́ше са́мъ: и бя́ше Іо́сифъ до́бръ о́бразомъ и красе́нъ взо́ромъ зѣло́.

⁷

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.

⁷

И бы́сть по словесѣ́хъ си́хъ, и возложи́ жена́ господи́на єго́ о́чи своя́ на Іо́сифа и рече́: пребу́ди со мно́ю.

⁸

But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:

⁸

О́нъ же не хотя́ше и рече́ женѣ́ господи́на своєго́: а́ще господи́нъ мо́й не вѣ́сть мене́ ра́ди ничто́же въ дому́ своє́мъ, и вся́, єли́ка су́ть єму́, вдаде́ въ ру́цѣ мои́,

⁹

and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?

⁹

и ничто́ є́сть вы́ше мене́ въ дому́ се́мъ, ниже́ изъя́то бы́сть от мене́ что́-либо, кромѣ́ тебе́, поне́же ты́ жена́ єму́ єси́: и ка́ко сотворю́ глаго́лъ злы́й се́й и согрѣшу́ предъ Бо́гомъ?

¹⁰

And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,

¹⁰

Єгда́ же Іо́сифу глаго́лаше де́нь от дне́, и не послу́шаше єя́ є́же спа́ти и бы́ти съ не́ю.

¹¹

it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.

¹¹

Бы́сть же сицевы́й нѣ́кій де́нь, и вни́де Іо́сифъ въ до́мъ дѣ́лати дѣла́ своя́, и никто́же бя́ше от су́щихъ въ дому́ вну́трь:

¹²

And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.

¹²

и ухвати́ єго́ за ри́зы, глаго́лющи: ля́зи со мно́ю. И оста́вивъ ри́зы своя́ въ руку́ єя́, убѣже́ и изы́де во́нъ.

¹³

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,

¹³

И бы́сть єгда́ ви́дѣ, я́ко оста́вль ри́зы своя́ въ рука́хъ єя́, бѣжа́ и изы́де во́нъ:

¹⁴

that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

¹⁴

и воззва́ су́щихъ въ дому́ и рече́ и́мъ глаго́лющи: ви́дите, введе́ на́мъ о́трока Євре́ина наруга́тися на́мъ: вни́де ко мнѣ́, глаго́ля: преспи́ со мно́ю: и возопи́хъ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ:

¹⁵

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.

¹⁵

и єгда́ услы́ша о́нъ, я́ко возвы́сихъ гла́съ мо́й и возопи́хъ, оста́вль ри́зы своя́ у мене́, отбѣже́ и изы́де во́нъ.

¹⁶

So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.

¹⁶

И удержа́ ри́зы у себе́, до́ндеже пріи́де господи́нъ въ до́мъ сво́й.

¹⁷

And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou broughtest in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with thee.

¹⁷

И повѣ́да єму́ по словесѣ́хъ си́хъ, глаго́лющи: вни́де ко мнѣ́ о́трокъ Євре́инъ, єго́же вве́лъ єси́ къ на́мъ, поруга́тися мнѣ́, и рече́ ми: да бу́ду съ тобо́ю:

¹⁸

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.

¹⁸

єгда́ же услы́ша, я́ко воздвиго́хъ гла́съ мо́й и возопи́хъ, оста́вль ри́зы своя́ у мене́, отбѣже́ и изы́де во́нъ.

¹⁹

And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did thy servant to me, that he was very angry.

¹⁹

И бы́сть єгда́ услы́ша господи́нъ єго́ глаго́лы жены́ своєя́, єли́ка рече́ къ нему́, глаго́лющи: си́це сотвори́ ми о́трокъ тво́й: и разгнѣ́вася я́ростію,

²⁰

And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.

²⁰

и взе́мъ господи́нъ Іо́сифа, вве́рже єго́ въ темни́цу, въ мѣ́сто, идѣ́же у́зники царе́вы держа́тся та́мо въ тверды́ни.

²¹

And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.

²¹

И бя́ше Госпо́дь со Іо́сифомъ, и возлія́ на него́ ми́лость, и даде́ єму́ благода́ть предъ нача́лнымъ стра́жемъ темни́чнымъ:

²²

And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatsoever they do there, he did them.

²²

и вдаде́ старѣ́йшина страже́й темни́цу въ ру́цѣ Іо́сифу и всѣ́хъ вве́рженыхъ въ темни́цу: и вся́, єли́ка творя́ху та́мо, то́й бѣ́ творя́й.

²³

Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.

²³

Старѣ́йшина же страже́й темни́чныхъ ничто́же бѣ́ вѣ́дый єго́ ра́ди: вся́ бо бы́ша въ рука́хъ Іо́сифовыхъ, зане́же Госпо́дь бя́ше съ ни́мъ: и єли́ка то́й творя́ше, Госпо́дь благопоспѣша́ше въ руку́ єго́.
