تكوين
1وَأَمَّا يُوسُفُ فَأُنْزِلَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَاشْتَرَاهُ فُوطِيفَارُ خَصِيُّ فِرْعَوْنَ رَئِيسُ الشُّرَطِ، رَجُلٌ مِصْرِيٌّ، مِنْ يَدِ الإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَنْزَلُوهُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ.2وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يُوسُفَ فَكَانَ رَجُلاً نَاجِحاً. وَكَانَ فِي بَيْتِ سَيِّدِهِ الْمِصْرِيِّ.3وَرَأَى سَيِّدُهُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَهُ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَصْنَعُ كَانَ الرَّبُّ يُنْجِحُهُ بِيَدِهِ.4فَوَجَدَ يُوسُفُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، وَخَدَمَهُ، فَوَكَّلَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ وَدَفَعَ إِلَى يَدِهِ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ.5وَكَانَ مِنْ حِينَ وَكَّلَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ بَارَكَ بَيْتَ الْمِصْرِيِّ بِسَبَبِ يُوسُفَ. وَكَانَتْ بَرَكَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَفِي الْحَقْلِ،6فَتَرَكَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي يَدِ يُوسُفَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ يَعْرِفُ شَيْئاً إِلاَّ الْخُبْزَ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ. وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ حَسَنَ الصُّورَةِ وَحَسَنَ الْمَنْظَرِ.7وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةَ سَيِّدِهِ رَفَعَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا إِلَى يُوسُفَ وَقَالَتِ، اضْطَجِعْ مَعِي.8فَأَبَى وَقَالَ لاِمْرَأَةِ سَيِّدِهِ، هُوَذَا سَيِّدِي لاَ يَعْرِفُ مَعِي مَا فِي الْبَيْتِ، وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُ قَدْ دَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِي.9لَيْسَ هُوَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ أَعْظَمَ مِنِّي. وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْ عَنِّي شَيْئاً غَيْرَكِ، لأَنَّكِ امْرَأَتُهُ. فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ هَذَا الشَّرَّ الْعَظِيمَ وَأُخْطِئُ إِلَى اللَّهِ.10وَكَانَ إِذْ كَلَّمَتْ يُوسُفَ يَوْماً فَيَوْماً أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهَا أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ بِجَانِبِهَا لِيَكُونَ مَعَهَا.11ثُمَّ حَدَثَ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ لِيَعْمَلَ عَمَلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ هُنَاكَ فِي الْبَيْتِ.12فَأَمْسَكَتْهُ بِثَوْبِهِ قَائِلَةً، اضْطَجِعْ مَعِي. فَتَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ فِي يَدِهَا وَهَرَبَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ.13وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ فِي يَدِهَا وَهَرَبَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ،14أَنَّهَا نَادَتْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهَا، وَقَالَتْ، انْظُرُوا. قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَيْنَا بِرَجُلٍ عِبْرَانِيٍّ لِيُدَاعِبَنَا. دَخَلَ إِلَيَّ لِيَضْطَجِعَ مَعِي، فَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ.15وَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ أَنِّي رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ، أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِي وَهَرَبَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ.16فَوَضَعَتْ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِهَا حَتَّى جَاءَ سَيِّدُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.17فَكَلَّمَتْهُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلاَمِ قَائِلَةً، دَخَلَ إِلَيَّ الْعَبْدُ الْعِبْرَانِيُّ الَّذِي جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا لِيُدَاعِبَنِي.18وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ، أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ بِجَانِبِي وَهَرَبَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ.19فَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ سَيِّدُهُ كَلاَمَ امْرَأَتِهِ الَّذِي كَلَّمَتْهُ بِهِ قَائِلَةً، بِحَسَبِ هَذَا الْكَلاَمِ صَنَعَ بِي عَبْدُكَ أَنَّ غَضَبَهُ حَمِيَ.20فَأَخَذَ يُوسُفَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ، الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ أَسْرَى الْمَلِكِ مَحْبُوسِينَ فِيهِ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ فِي بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ.21وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَ يُوسُفَ، وَبَسَطَ إِلَيْهِ لُطْفاً، وَجَعَلَ نِعْمَةً لَهُ فِي عَيْنَيْ رَئِيسِ بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ.22فَدَفَعَ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ إِلَى يَدِ يُوسُفَ جَمِيعَ الأَسْرَى الَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ. وَكُلُّ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ هُنَاكَ كَانَ هُوَ الْعَامِلَ.23وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ يَنْظُرُ شَيْئاً الْبَتَّةَ مِمَّا فِي يَدِهِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَمَهْمَا صَنَعَ كَانَ الرَّبُّ يُنْجِحُهُ.
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.
