HOLY BIBLE: Genesis 39 (original) (raw)

13 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν ὅτι κατέλιπεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς καὶ ἔφυγεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω 14 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς ὄντας ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς λέγουσα ἴδετε εἰσήγαγεν ἡμῖν παῖδα Εβραῖον ἐμπαίζειν ἡμῖν εἰσῆλθεν πρός με λέγων κοιμήθητι με{T'} ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐβόησα φωνῇ μεγάλῃ 15 ἐν δὲ τῷ ἀκοῦσαι αὐτὸν ὅτι ὕψωσα τὴν φωνήν μου καὶ ἐβόησα καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ πα{R'} ἐμοὶ ἔφυγεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω 16 καὶ καταλιμπάνει τὰ ἱμάτια πα{R'} ἑαυτῇ ἕως ἦλθεν ὁ κύριος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ 17 καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα λέγουσα εἰσῆλθεν πρός με ὁ παῖς ὁ Εβραῖος ὃν εἰσήγαγες πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἐμπαῖξαί μοι καὶ εἶπέν μοι κοιμηθήσομαι μετὰ σοῦ 18 ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν ὅτι ὕψωσα τὴν φωνήν μου καὶ ἐβόησα κατέλιπεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ πα{R'} ἐμοὶ καὶ ἔφυγεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω 19 ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ τὰ ῥήματα τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ ὅσα ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα οὕτως ἐποίησέν μοι ὁ παῖς σου καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ 20 καὶ λαβὼν ὁ κύριος Ιωσηφ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ὀχύρωμα εἰς τὸν τόπον ἐν ᾧ οἱ δεσμῶται τοῦ βασιλέως κατέχονται ἐκεῖ ἐν τῷ ὀχυρώματι 21 καὶ ἦν κύριος μετὰ Ιωσηφ καὶ κατέχεεν αὐτοῦ ἔλεος καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλακος 22 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλαξ τὸ δεσμωτήριον διὰ χειρὸς Ιωσηφ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀπηγμένους ὅσοι ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ποιοῦσιν ἐκεῖ 23 οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλαξ τοῦ δεσμωτηρίου γινώσκων δ{I'} αὐτὸν οὐθέν πάντα γὰρ ἦν διὰ χειρὸς Ιωσηφ διὰ τὸ τὸν κύριον με{T'} αὐτοῦ εἶναι καὶ ὅσα αὐτὸς ἐποίει κύριος εὐώδου ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ

13 And now, finding herself alone with his garment in her hands, and all her advances spurned, 14 she summoned the men of the household; Look, she said, what comes of bringing in a Hebrew to insult us! Joseph came in, and would have dishonoured me, but I cried out, 15 and at the sound of my voice he ran out, leaving his cloak in my grasp. 16 She kept the cloak in support of her story, and shewed it to her husband when he came back home; 17 This Hebrew slave, she told him, whom thou hast brought into the house to insult me, offered me violence; 18 and it was only upon hearing me cry for help that he ran out, leaving me with this cloak in my hand. 19 Upon this Joseph’s master, too easily convinced by what his wife told him, broke into a rage, 20 and committed him to the prison in which the king’s prisoners were kept. There lay Joseph, then, a captive, 21 but the Lord was still with him, and by the Lord’s mercy he became a favourite with the chief gaoler, 22 who put all the prisoners detained there in his charge, and would have nothing done save at his discretion. 23 Thus the chief gaoler, in his turn, knew nothing of what went forward, but left all to Joseph, well knowing that the Lord was with him, and prospered all he did.

13 Cumque vidisset mulier vestem in manibus suis, et se esse contemptam, 14 vocavit ad se homines domus suæ, et ait ad eos: En introduxit virum hebræum, ut illuderet nobis: ingressus est ad me, ut coiret mecum: cumque ego succlamassem, 15 et audisset vocem meam, reliquit pallium quod tenebam, et fugit foras. 16 In argumentum ergo fidei retentum pallium ostendit marito revertenti domum, 17 et ait: Ingressus est ad me servus hebræus quem adduxisti, ut illuderet mihi: 18 cumque audisset me clamare, reliquit pallium quod tenebam, et fugit foras. 19 His auditis dominus, et nimium credulus verbis conjugis, iratus est valde: 20 tradiditque Joseph in carcerem, ubi vincti regis custodiebantur, et erat ibi clausus. 21 Fuit autem Dominus cum Joseph, et misertus illius dedit ei gratiam in conspectu principis carceris. 22 Qui tradidit in manu illius universos vinctos qui in custodia tenebantur: et quidquid fiebat, sub ipso erat. 23 Nec noverat aliquid, cunctis ei creditis: Dominus enim erat cum illo, et omnia opera ejus dirigebat.
