39 Jósef var fluttur til Egyptalands, og Pótífar, hirðmaður Faraós og lífvarðarforingi, maður egypskur, keypti hann af Ísmaelítum, sem hann höfðu þangað flutt.
2 En Drottinn var með Jósef, svo að hann varð maður lángefinn, og hann var í húsi húsbónda síns, hins egypska manns.
3 Og er húsbóndi hans sá, að Drottinn var með honum og að Drottinn lét honum heppnast allt, sem hann tók sér fyrir hendur,
4 þá fann Jósef náð í augum hans og þjónaði honum. Og hann setti hann yfir hús sitt og fékk honum í hendur allt, sem hann átti.
5 Og upp frá þeirri stundu, er hann hafði sett Jósef yfir hús sitt og yfir allt, sem hann átti, blessaði Drottinn hús hins egypska manns sakir Jósefs, og blessun Drottins var yfir öllu, sem hann átti innan húss og utan.
6 Og hann fól Jósef til umráða allar eigur sínar og var afskiptalaus um allt hjá honum og gekk aðeins að máltíðum. Jósef var vel vaxinn og fríður sýnum.
7 Og eftir þetta bar svo til, að kona húsbónda hans renndi augum til Jósefs og mælti: "Leggstu með mér!"
8 En hann færðist undan og sagði við konu húsbónda síns: "Sjá, húsbóndi minn lítur ekki eftir neinu í húsinu hjá mér, og allar eigur sínar hefir hann fengið mér í hendur.
9 Hann hefir ekki meira vald í þessu húsi en ég, og hann fyrirmunar mér ekkert nema þig, með því að þú ert kona hans. Hvernig skyldi ég þá aðhafast þessa miklu óhæfu og syndga á móti Guði?"
10 Og þó að hún leitaði til við Jósef með þessum orðum dag eftir dag, þá lét hann ekki að vilja hennar að leggjast með henni og hafa samfarir við hana.
11 Þá bar svo til einn dag, er hann gekk inn í húsið til starfa sinna og enginn heimilismanna var þar inni,
12 að hún greip í skikkju hans og mælti: "Leggstu með mér!" En hann lét skikkjuna eftir í hendi hennar og flýði og hljóp út.
13 En er hún sá, að hann hafði látið eftir skikkjuna í hendi hennar og var flúinn út,
14 þá kallaði hún á heimafólk sitt og mælti við það: "Sjáið, hann hefir fært oss hebreskan mann til þess að dára oss. Hann kom inn til mín og vildi hafa lagst með mér, en ég æpti hástöfum.
15 Og er hann heyrði, að ég hrópaði og kallaði, lét hann skikkju sína eftir hjá mér og flýði og hljóp út."
16 Því næst geymdi hún skikkju hans hjá sér þangað til húsbóndi hans kom heim.
17 Sagði hún honum þá sömu söguna og mælti: "Hebreski þrællinn, sem þú hefir til vor haft, kom til mín til þess að dára mig.
18 En þegar ég hrópaði og kallaði, lét hann eftir skikkju sína hjá mér og flýði út."
19 Er húsbóndi hans heyrði orð konu sinnar, er hún talaði við hann svo mælandi: "Þannig hefir þræll þinn hegðað sér við mig," þá varð hann ákaflega reiður.
20 Og húsbóndi Jósefs tók hann og setti hann í myrkvastofu, þar sem bandingjar konungs voru geymdir, og hann sat þar í myrkvastofunni.
21 Drottinn var með Jósef og veitti honum mannahylli og lét hann finna náð í augum forstjóra myrkvastofunnar.
22 Og forstjóri myrkvastofunnar fékk Jósef á vald alla bandingjana, sem voru í myrkvastofunni. Og hvað eina, sem þeir gjörðu þar, gjörðu þeir að hans fyrirlagi.
23 Forstjóri myrkvastofunnar leit ekki eftir neinu, sem var undir hans hendi, því að Drottinn var með honum. Og hvað sem hann gjörði, það lét Drottinn heppnast.

Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife
39 Now Joseph(A) had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard,(B) bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.(C)
2 The Lord was with Joseph(D) so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 When his master saw that the Lord was with him(E) and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did,(F) 4 Joseph found favor in his eyes(G) and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household,(H) and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.(I) 5 From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household(J) of the Egyptian because of Joseph.(K) The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.(L) 6 So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care;(M) with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.
Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,(N) 7 and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”(O)
8 But he refused.(P) “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care.(Q) 9 No one is greater in this house than I am.(R) My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”(S) 10 And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused(T) to go to bed with her or even be with her.
11 One day he went into the house to attend to his duties,(U) and none of the household servants(V) was inside. 12 She caught him by his cloak(W) and said, “Come to bed with me!”(X) But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.(Y)
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, 14 she called her household servants.(Z) “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew(AA) has been brought to us to make sport of us!(AB) He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed.(AC) 15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”(AD)
16 She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. 17 Then she told him this story:(AE) “That Hebrew(AF) slave(AG) you brought us came to me to make sport of me. 18 But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger.(AH) 20 Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison,(AI) the place where the king’s prisoners were confined.
But while Joseph was there in the prison, 21 the Lord was with him;(AJ) he showed him kindness(AK) and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.(AL) 22 So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.(AM) 23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s(AN) care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.(AO)

Genesis 39
King James Version
39 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.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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;
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?
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.
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.
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.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
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:
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.
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
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:
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
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.
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.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
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.
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.
