1 A nd Joseph hath been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buyeth him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him thither.

أمّا يُوسُفُ فَأُخِذَ إلَى مِصْرَ. وَاشْتَراهُ مَسْؤُولٌ عِندَ فِرعَوْنِ مِصْرَ، رَئِيسٌ لِحَرَسِ القَصْرِ، وَهُوَ مِصْرِيٌّ. اشْتَراهُ مِنَ الإسْماعِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ جَلَبُوهُ.

2 A nd Jehovah is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian,

فَكانَ اللهُ مَعَ يُوسُفَ، فَكانَ رَجُلاً ناجِحاً. وَسَكَنَ فِي بَيتِ سَيِّدِهِ المِصْرِيِّ.

3 a nd his lord seeth that Jehovah is with him, and all that he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper in his hand,

وَرَأى سَيِّدُهُ أنَّ اللهَ مَعَهُ. وَأنَّ اللهَ يُوَفِّقُ كُلَّ عَمَلِ يَدَيهِ.

4 a nd Joseph findeth grace in his eyes and serveth him, and he appointeth him over his house, and all that he hath he hath given into his hand.

فَحَظِيَ يُوسُفُ بِرِضاهُ، وَخَدَمَهُ بِأمانَةٍ. فَجَعَلَهُ مُشْرِفاً عَلَى بيتِهِ، وَمَسؤولاً عَنْ جَمِيعِ شُؤونِهِ.

5 A nd it cometh to pass from the time that he hath appointed him over his house, and over all that he hath, that Jehovah blesseth the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of Jehovah is on all that he hath, in the house, and in the field;

وَبارَكَ اللهُ بَيتَ المِصْرِيِّ بِسَبَبِ يُوسُفَ مُنذُ الوَقْتِ الَّذِي أوكَلَهُ عَلَى بَيتِهِ وَكُلِّ ما عِندَهُ. وَظَهَرَتْ بَرَكَةُ اللهِ فِي كُلِّ أملاكِ فُوطِيفارَ، فِي البَيتِ وَفِي الحَقلٍ.

6 a nd he leaveth all that he hath in the hand of Joseph, and he hath not known anything that he hath, except the bread which he is eating. And Joseph is of a fair form, and of a fair appearance.

فَتَرَكَ فُوطِيفارُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ تَحتَ رِعايَةِ يُوسُفَ. وَفِي وُجُودِ يُوسُفَ، لَمْ يَكُنْ فُوطِيفارُ يَهْتَمُّ بِأيِّ شَيءٍ، ما عَدا الطَّعامِ الَّذِي يَأكُلُهُ. يُوسُفُ يَرفضُ زوجةَ فُوطِيفار وَكانَ يُوسُفُ جَمِيلَ القَوامِ وَالوَجهِ.

7 A nd it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord's wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, `Lie with me;'

وَفِي وَقتٍ لاحِقٍ، بَدَأتْ زَوجَةُ سَيِّدِهِ تَشْتَهِيهِ. وَقالَتْ لَهُ: «تَعالَ وَعَاشِرْنِي!»

8 a nd he refuseth, and saith unto his lord's wife, `Lo, my lord hath not known what with me in the house, and all that he hath he hath given into my hand;

فَرَفَضَ. وَقالَ لِزَوجَةِ سَيِّدِهِ: «ها إنَّ سَيِّدِي فِي وُجُودِي غَيرُ قَلِقٍ عَلَى شَيءٍ فِي البَيتِ. وَقَدْ وَضَعَ بَينَ يَدَيَّ كُلَّ ما لَدَيهِ.

9 n one is greater in this house than I, and he hath not withheld from me anything, except thee, because thou his wife; and how shall I do this great evil? -- then have I sinned against God.'

فَلا يُوجَدُ فِي هَذا البَيتِ مَنْ هُوَ أهَمُّ مِنِّي. وَلَمْ يَمنَعْ عَنِّي سَيِّدِي شَيئاً إلّا أنتِ لِأنَّكِ زَوجَتُهُ. فَكَيفَ أقتَرِفُ مِثلَ هَذا الإثْمِ العَظِيمِ وَأُخطِئُ إلَى اللهِ؟»

10 A nd it cometh to pass at her speaking unto Joseph day day, that he hath not hearkened unto her, to lie near her, to be with her;

فَكانَتْ تُكَلِّمُهُ يَوماً بَعدَ يَوْمٍ، وَهُوَ يَرفُضُ أنْ يُعَاشِرَها أوْ يَكُونَ مَعَها.

11 a nd it cometh to pass about this day, that he goeth into the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the house there in the house,

وَذاتَ يَومٍ جاءَ يُوسُفُ إلَى البَيتِ لِيَقُومَ بِعَمَلِهِ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أحَدٌ مِنَ الخَدَمِ داخِلَ المَنزِلِ.

12 a nd she catcheth him by his garment, saying, `Lie with me;' and he leaveth his garment in her hand, and fleeth, and goeth without.

فَأمسَكَتْهُ مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ وَقالَتْ: «تَعالَ وَعَاشِرْنِي!» فَتَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ فِي يَدِها وَهَرَبَ خَارِجاً.

13 A nd it cometh to pass when she seeth that he hath left his garment in her hand, and fleeth without,

فَلَمّا رَأتْ أنَّهُ تَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ فِي يَدِها وَهَرَبَ خارِجاً،

14 t hat she calleth for the men of her house, and speaketh to them, saying, `See, he hath brought in to us a man, a Hebrew, to play with us; he hath come in unto me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,

نادَتْ خَدَمَ بَيتِها وَقالَتْ لَهُمْ: «انظُرُوا! ها قَدْ وَضَعَ زَوجِي بَينَنا رَجُلاً عِبْرانِيّاً لِيُهِينَنا. جاءَ إلَيَّ وَحاوَلَ أنْ يُعاشِرَنِي، فَصَرَخْتُ.

15 a nd it cometh to pass, when he heareth that I have lifted up my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth, and goeth without.'

فَلَمّا سَمِعَنِي أرفَعُ صَوْتِي وَأصْرُخُ، تَرَكَ ثَوبَهُ بِجانِبِي، وَهَرَبَ خارِجاً.»

16 A nd she placeth his garment near her, until the coming in of his lord unto his house.

وَاحتَفَظَتْ بِثَوْبِهِ بِجانِبِها إلَى أنْ جاءَ سَيِّدُهُ إلَى البَيتِ.

17 A nd she speaketh unto him according to these words, saying, `The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, hath come in unto me to play with me;

ثُمَّ قَصَّتِ عَلَيهِ قِصَّتَها: «جاءَ إلَيَّ الخادِمُ العِبْرانِيُّ الَّذِي وَضَعْتَهُ بَينَنا لِكَي يُهِينَنِي.

18 a nd it cometh to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth without.'

لَكِنِّي رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَصَرَخْتُ. فَتَرَكَ ثَوْبَهُ بِجانِبِي وَهَرَبَ خارِجاً.»

19 A nd it cometh to pass when his lord heareth the words of his wife, which she hath spoken unto him, saying, `According to these things hath thy servant done to me,' that his anger burneth;

سَمِعَ سَيِّدُهُ رِوايَةَ زَوْجَتِهِ الَّتِي قالَتْ لَهُ: «هَذا هُوَ ما فَعَلَهُ خادِمُكَ بِي،» فَغَضِبَ غَضَباً شَدِيداً.

20 a nd Joseph's lord taketh him, and putteth him unto the round-house, a place where the king's prisoners bound; and he is there in the round-house.

وَألقَى القَبْضَ عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي السِّجْنِ، حَيثُ كانَ يُعتَقَلُ سُجَناءُ فِرعَوْنَ. فَبَقِيَ يُوسُفُ هُناكَ فِي السِّجْنِ. يُوسُفُ في السّجن

21 A nd Jehovah is with Joseph, and stretcheth out kindness unto him, and putteth his grace in the eyes of the chief of the round-house;

لَكِنَّ اللهَ كانَ مَعَ يُوسُفَ، وَأظهَرَ لَهُ لُطفاً. وَجَعَلَ يُوسُفَ يَحظَى بِرِضَى حارِسِ السِّجْنِ.

22 a nd the chief of the round-house giveth into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who in the round-house, and of all that they are doing there, he hath been doer;

فَأوكَلَ حارِسُ السِّجْنِ يُوسُفَ عَلَى كُلِّ الرِّجالِ الآخَرِينَ المَوضُوعِينَ فِي السِّجْنِ. وَكانَ مُشْرِفاً عَلَى كُلِّ العَمَلِ الجارِي هُناكَ.

23 t he chief of the round-house seeth not anything under his hand, because Jehovah with him, and that which he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper.

وَكانَ حارِسُ السِّجْنِ مُرْتاحَ البالِ مِنْ جِهَةِ أيِّ أمْرٍ تَحتَ مَسْؤُولِيَّةِ يُوسُفَ. لِأنَّ اللهَ كانَ مَعَهُ. وَكانَ اللهُ يُنْجِحُ كُلَّ ما يَعْمَلُهُ.
