Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 І҆ѡ́сифъ же приведе́нъ бы́сть во є҆гѵ́петъ. И҆ кꙋпѝ є҆го̀ пентефрі́й є҆ѵнꙋ́хъ фараѡ́новъ а҆рхїмагі́ръ, мꙋ́жъ є҆гѵ́птѧнинъ, ѿ рꙋ́къ і҆сма́ильтѧнъ, и҆̀же приведо́ша є҆го̀ та́мѡ.
1 Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2 И҆ бѧ́ше гдⷭ҇ь со і҆ѡ́сифомъ: и҆ бѧ́ше мꙋ́жъ благополꙋ́ченъ, и҆ бы́сть въ домꙋ̀ господи́на своегѡ̀ є҆гѵ́птѧнина.
2 Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Вѣ́дѧше же господи́нъ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь бѣ̀ съ ни́мъ, и҆ є҆ли̑ка твори́тъ, гдⷭ҇ь благоꙋстроѧ́етъ въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 И҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те і҆ѡ́сифъ благода́ть пред̾ господи́номъ свои́мъ и҆ благоꙋгодѝ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ над̾ до́момъ свои́мъ, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка бы́ша є҆мꙋ̀, дадѐ въ рꙋ́ки і҆ѡ́сифѡвы.
4 Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ поста́ви є҆го̀ над̾ до́момъ свои́мъ и҆ над̾ всѣ́ми, є҆ли̑ка и҆мѣ́ѧше, и҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ гдⷭ҇ь до́мъ є҆гѵ́птѧнина і҆ѡ́сифа ра́ди: и҆ бы́сть блгⷭ҇ве́нїе гдⷭ҇не на все́мъ и҆мѣ́нїи є҆гѡ̀ въ домꙋ̀ и҆ въ се́лѣхъ є҆гѡ̀.
5 From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6 И҆ предадѐ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка бы́ша є҆мꙋ̀, въ рꙋ́ки і҆ѡ́сифѡвы: и҆ не вѣ́дѧше ѿ сꙋ́щихъ ᲂу҆ себє̀ ничто́же, кромѣ̀ хлѣ́ба, є҆го́же ꙗ҆дѧ́ше са́мъ: и҆ бѧ́ше і҆ѡ́сифъ до́бръ ѡ҆́бразомъ и҆ красе́нъ взо́ромъ ѕѣлѡ̀.
6 He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 И҆ бы́сть по словесѣ́хъ си́хъ, и҆ возложѝ жена̀ господи́на є҆гѡ̀ ѻ҆́чи своѧ̑ на і҆ѡ́сифа и҆ речѐ: пребꙋ́ди со мно́ю.
7 After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 Ѻ҆́нъ же не хотѧ́ше и҆ речѐ женѣ̀ господи́на своегѡ̀: а҆́ще господи́нъ мо́й не вѣ́сть менє̀ ра́ди ничто́же въ домꙋ̀ свое́мъ, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сꙋ́ть є҆мꙋ̀, вдадѐ въ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ,
8 But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9 и҆ ничто̀ є҆́сть вы́ше менє̀ въ домꙋ̀ се́мъ, нижѐ и҆з̾ѧ́то бы́сть ѿ менє̀ что́-либо, кромѣ̀ тебє̀, поне́же ты̀ жена̀ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆сѝ: и҆ ка́кѡ сотворю̀ глаго́лъ ѕлы́й се́й и҆ согрѣшꙋ̀ пред̾ бг҃омъ;
9 No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
10 Є҆гда́ же і҆ѡ́сифꙋ глаго́лаше де́нь ѿ днѐ, и҆ не послꙋ́шаше є҆ѧ̀ є҆́же спа́ти и҆ бы́ти съ не́ю.
10 As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 Бы́сть же сицевы́й нѣ́кїй де́нь, и҆ вни́де і҆ѡ́сифъ въ до́мъ дѣ́лати дѣла̀ своѧ̑, и҆ никто́же бѧ́ше ѿ сꙋ́щихъ въ домꙋ̀ внꙋ́трь:
11 About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12 и҆ ᲂу҆хватѝ є҆го̀ за ри̑зы, глаго́лющи: лѧ́зи со мно́ю. И҆ ѡ҆ста́вивъ ри̑зы своѧ̑ въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀, ᲂу҆бѣжѐ и҆ и҆зы́де во́нъ.
12 She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ви́дѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́вль ри̑зы своѧ̑ въ рꙋка́хъ є҆ѧ̀, бѣжа̀ и҆ и҆зы́де во́нъ:
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 и҆ воззва̀ сꙋ́щихъ въ домꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ глаго́лющи: ви́дите, введѐ на́мъ ѻ҆́трока є҆вре́ина нарꙋга́тисѧ на́мъ: вни́де ко мнѣ̀, глаго́лѧ: преспѝ со мно́ю: и҆ возопи́хъ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ:
14 she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 и҆ є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́ша ѻ҆́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возвы́сихъ гла́съ мо́й и҆ возопи́хъ, ѡ҆ста́вль ри̑зы своѧ̑ ᲂу҆ менє̀, ѿбѣжѐ и҆ и҆зы́де во́нъ.
15 When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 И҆ ᲂу҆держа̀ ри̑зы ᲂу҆ себє̀, до́ндеже прїи́де господи́нъ въ до́мъ сво́й.
16 She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 И҆ повѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀ по словесѣ́хъ си́хъ, глаго́лющи: вни́де ко мнѣ̀ ѻ҆́трокъ є҆вре́инъ, є҆го́же вве́лъ є҆сѝ къ на́мъ, порꙋга́тисѧ мнѣ̀, и҆ рече́ ми: да бꙋ́дꙋ съ тобо́ю:
17 She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18 є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ воздвиго́хъ гла́съ мо́й и҆ возопи́хъ, ѡ҆ста́вль ри̑зы своѧ̑ ᲂу҆ менє̀, ѿбѣжѐ и҆ и҆зы́де во́нъ.
18 and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́ша господи́нъ є҆гѡ̀ глаго́лы жены̀ своеѧ̀, є҆ли̑ка речѐ къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лющи: си́це сотвори́ ми ѻ҆́трокъ тво́й: и҆ разгнѣ́васѧ ꙗ҆́ростїю,
19 When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
20 и҆ взе́мъ господи́нъ і҆ѡ́сифа, вве́рже є҆го̀ въ темни́цꙋ, въ мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же ᲂу҆́зники царє́вы держа́тсѧ та́мѡ въ тверды́ни.
20 Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
21 И҆ бѧ́ше гдⷭ҇ь со і҆ѡ́сифомъ, и҆ возлїѧ̀ на него̀ млⷭ҇ть, и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ блгⷣть пред̾ нача́льнымъ стра́жемъ темни́чнымъ:
21 But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 и҆ вдадѐ старѣ́йшина страже́й темни́цꙋ въ рꙋ́цѣ і҆ѡ́сифꙋ и҆ всѣ́хъ вве́рженыхъ въ темни́цꙋ: и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка творѧ́хꙋ та́мѡ, то́й бѣ̀ творѧ́й.
22 The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
23 Старѣ́йшина же страже́й темни́чныхъ ничто́же бѣ̀ вѣ́дый є҆гѡ̀ ра́ди: всѧ̑ бо бы́ша въ рꙋка́хъ і҆ѡ́сифовыхъ, зане́же гдⷭ҇ь бѧ́ше съ ни́мъ: и҆ є҆ли̑ка то́й творѧ́ше, гдⷭ҇ь бл҃гопоспѣша́ше въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
23 The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"Thou broughtest in unto us here an Hebrew servant to mock us." It was not this man that mocked thee, O wretched and unhappy woman, but the devil that told thee that thou couldest break down the adamant.
