创39:1 约瑟被带下埃及去。有一个埃及人，是法老的内臣，护卫长波提乏，从那些带下他来的以实玛利人手下买了他去。
创39:1 And 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.
创39:2 约瑟住在他主人埃及人的家中，耶和华与他同在，他就百事顺利。
创39:2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
创39:3 他主人见耶和华与他同在，又见耶和华使他手里所办的尽都顺利，
创39:3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
创39:4 约瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩，伺候他主人，并且主人派他管理家务，把一切所有的都交在他手里。
创39:4 And 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.
创39:5 自从主人派约瑟管理家务和他一切所有的，耶和华就因约瑟的缘故赐福与那埃及人的家；凡家里和田间一切所有的都蒙耶和华赐福。
创39:5 And 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.
创39:6 波提乏将一切所有的都交在约瑟的手中，除了自己所吃的饭，别的事一概不知。约瑟原来秀雅俊美。
创39:6 And 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.
创39:7 这事以后，约瑟主人的妻，以目送情给约瑟说：“你与我同寝吧！”
创39:7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
创39:8 约瑟不从，对他主人的妻说：“看哪！一切家务我主人都不知道，他把所有的都交在我手里。
创39:8 But 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;
创39:9 在这家里没有比我大的，并且他没有留下一样不交给我，只留下了你，因为你是他的妻子。我怎能作这大恶，得罪 神呢？”
创39:9 There 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?
创39:10 后来她天天和约瑟说，约瑟却不听从她，不与她同寝，也不和她在一处。
创39:10 And 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.
创39:11 有一天，约瑟进屋里去办事，家中人没有一个在那屋里，
创39:11 And 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.
创39:12 妇人就拉住他的衣裳说：“你与我同寝吧！”约瑟把衣裳丢在妇人手里，跑到外边去了。
创39:12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
创39:13 妇人看见约瑟把衣裳丢在她手里跑出去了，
创39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
创39:14 就叫了家里的人来，对他们说：“你们看！他带了一个希伯来人进入我们家里，要戏弄我们。他到我这里来，要与我同寝，我就大声喊叫。
创39:14 That 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:
创39:15 他听见我放声喊起来，就把衣裳丢在我这里，跑到外边去了。”
创39:15 And 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.
创39:16 妇人把约瑟的衣裳放在自己那里，等着他主人回家，
创39:16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
创39:17 就对他如此如此说：“你所带到我们这里的那希伯来仆人进来要戏弄我，
创39:17 And 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:
创39:18 我放声喊起来，他就把衣裳丢在我这里跑出去了。”
创39:18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
创39:19 约瑟的主人听见他妻子对他所说的话说：“你的仆人如此如此待我”，他就生气，
创39:19 And 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.
创39:20 把约瑟下在监里，就是王的囚犯被囚的地方。于是约瑟在那里坐监。
创39:20 And 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.
创39:21 但耶和华与约瑟同在，向他施恩，使他在司狱的眼前蒙恩。
创39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
创39:22 司狱就把监里所有的囚犯都交在约瑟的手下，他们在那里所办的事都是经他的手。
创39:22 And 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.
创39:23 凡在约瑟手下的事，司狱一概不察，因为耶和华与约瑟同在，耶和华使他所作的尽都顺利。
创39:23 The 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.
