창세기 39

1요셉이 이끌려 애굽에 내려가매 바로의 신하 시위대장 애굽사람 보디발이 그를 그리로 데려간 이스마엘 사람의 손에서 그를 사니라 2여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하시므로 그가 형통한 자가 되어 그 주인 애굽 사람의 집에 있으니 3그 주인이 여호와께서 그와 함께하심을 보며 또 여호와께서 그의 범사에 형통케 하심을 보았더라 4요셉이 그 주인에게 은혜를 입어 섬기매 그가 요셉으로 가정 총무를 삼고 자기 소유를 다 그 손에 위임하니 5그가 요셉에게 자기 집과 그 모든 소유물을 주관하게 한 때부터 여호와께서 요셉을 위하여 그 애굽 사람의 집에 복을 내리시므로 여호와의 복이 그의 집과 밭에 있는 모든 소유에 미친지라 6주인이 그 소유를 다 요셉의 손에 위임하고 자기 식료 외에는 간섭하지 아니하였더라 요셉은 용모가 준수하고 아담하였더라 7그 후에 그 주인의 처가 요셉에게 눈짓하다가 동침하기를 청하니 8요셉이 거절하며 자기 주인의 처에게 이르되 나의 주인이 가중 제반 소유를 간섭지 아니하고 다 내 손에 위임하였으니 9이 집에는 나보다 큰 이가 없으며 주인이 아무 것도 내게 금하지 아니하였어도 금한 것은 당신뿐이니 당신은 자기 아내임이라 그런즉 내가 어찌 이 큰 악을 행하여 하나님께 득죄하리이까 10여인이 날마다 요셉에게 청하였으나 요셉이 듣지 아니하여 동침하지 아니할 뿐더러 함께 있지도 아니하니라 11그러할 때에 요셉이 시무하러 그 집에 들어갔더니 그 집 사람은 하나도 거기 없었더라 12그 여인이 그 옷을 잡고 가로되 나와 동침하자 요셉이 자기 옷을 그 손에 버리고 도망하여 나가매 13그가 요셉이 그 옷을 자기 손에 버려두고 도망하여 나감을 보고 14집 사람들을 불러서 그들에게 이르되 보라 주인이 히브리 사람을 우리에게 데려다가 우리를 희롱하게 하도다 그가 나를 겁간코자 내게로 들어오기로 내가 크게 소리 질렀더니 15그가 나의 소리질러 부름을 듣고 그 옷을 내게 버려두고 도망하여 나갔느니라 하고 16그 옷을 곁에 두고 자기 주인이 집으로 돌아 오기를 기다려 17이 말로 그에게 고하여 가로되 당신이 우리에게 데려온 히브리 종이 나를 희롱코자 내게로 들어왔기로 18내가 소리질러 불렀더니 그가 그 옷을 내게 버려두고 도망하여 나갔나이다 19주인이 그 아내가 자기에게 고하기를 당신의 종이 내게 이같이 행하였다 하는 말을 듣고 심히 노한지라 20이에 요셉의 주인이 그를 잡아 옥에 넣으니 그 옥은 왕의 죄수를 가두는 곳이었더라 요셉이 옥에 갇혔으나 21여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하시고 그에게 인자를 더하사 전옥에게 은혜를 받게 하시매 22전옥이 옥중 죄수를 다 요셉의 손에 맡기므로 그 제반 사무를 요셉이 처리하고 23전옥은 그의 손에 맡긴 것을 무엇이든지 돌아보지 아니하였으니 이는 여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하심이라 여호와께서 그의 범사에 형통케 하셨더라

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. 2Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand. 4Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and he 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, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’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. 9He isn’t greater in this house than I, neither has he 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 in a Hebrew 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.

1Jozef nu werd naar Egypte afgevoerd; en Potifar, een hoveling van Farao, een overste der trawanten, een Egyptisch man, kocht hem uit de hand der Ismaelieten, die hem derwaarts afgevoerd hadden. 2En de HEERE was met Jozef, zodat hij een voorspoedig man was; en hij was in het huis van zijn heer, den Egyptenaar. 3Als nu zijn heer zag, dat de HEERE met hem was, en dat de HEERE al wat hij deed, door zijn hand voorspoedig maakte; 4Zo vond Jozef genade in zijn ogen, en diende hem; en hij stelde hem over zijn huis; en al wat hij had, gaf hij in zijn hand. 5En het geschiedde van toen af, dat hij hem over zijn huis, en over al wat het zijne was, gesteld had, dat de HEERE des Egyptenaars huis zegende, om Jozefs wil; ja, de zegen des HEEREN was in alles, wat hij had, in het huis en in het veld. 6En hij liet alles, wat hij had, in Jozefs hand, zodat hij met hem van geen ding kennis had, behalve van het brood, dat hij at. En Jozef was schoon van gedaante, en schoon van aangezicht. 7En het geschiedde na deze dingen, dat de huisvrouw zijns heren haar ogen op Jozef wierp; en zij zeide: lig bij mij! 8Maar hij weigerde het, en zeide tot de huisvrouw zijns heren: Zie, mijn heer heeft geen kennis met mij, wat er in het huis is; en al wat hij heeft, dat heeft hij in mijn hand gegeven. 9Niemand is groter in dit huis dan ik, en hij heeft voor mij niets onthouden, dan u, daarin dat gij zijn huisvrouw zijt; hoe zoude ik dan dit een zo groot kwaad doen, en zondigen tegen God! 10En het geschiedde, als zij Jozef dag op dag aansprak, en hij naar haar niet hoorde, om bij haar te liggen, en bij haar te zijn; 11Zo gebeurde het op zulk een dag, dat hij in het huis kwam, om zijn werk te doen; en niemand van de lieden des huizes was daar binnenshuis. 12En zij greep hem bij zijn kleed, zeggende: Lig bij mij! En hij liet zijn kleed in haar hand, en vluchtte, en ging uit naar buiten. 13En het geschiedde, als zij zag, dat hij zijn kleed in haar hand gelaten had, en naar buiten gevlucht was; 14Zo riep zij de lieden van haar huis, en sprak tot hen, zeggende: Ziet, hij heeft ons den Hebreeuwsen man ingebracht, om met ons te spotten; hij is tot mij gekomen, om bij mij te liggen, en ik heb geroepen met luider stem; 15En het geschiedde, als hij hoorde, dat ik mijn stem verhief, en riep, zo verliet hij zijn kleed bij mij, en vluchtte, en ging uit naar buiten. 16En zij legde zijn kleed bij zich, totdat zijn heer in zijn huis kwam. 17Toen sprak zij tot hem naar diezelfde woorden, zeggende: De Hebreeuwse knecht, dien gij ons hebt ingebracht, is tot mij gekomen, om met mij te spotten. 18En het is geschied, als ik mijn stem verhief, en riep, dat hij zijn kleed bij mij liet, en vluchtte naar buiten. 19En het geschiedde, als zijn heer de woorden zijner huisvrouw hoorde, die zij tot hem sprak, zeggende: Naar deze zelfde woorden heeft mij uw knecht gedaan, zo ontstak zijn toorn. 20En Jozefs heer nam hem, en leverde hem in het gevangenhuis, ter plaatse, waar des konings gevangenen gevangen waren; alzo was hij daar in het gevangenhuis. 21Doch de HEERE was met Jozef, en wende Zijn goedertierenheid tot hem; en gaf hem genade in de ogen van den overste van het gevangenhuis. 22En de overste van het gevangenhuis gaf al de gevangenen, die in het gevangenhuis waren, in Jozefs hand; en al wat zij daar deden, deed hij. 23De overste van het gevangenhuis zag gans op geen ding, dat in zijn hand was, overmits dat de HEERE met hem was; en wat hij deed, dat deed de HEERE wel gedijen.
