1 А Јосифа одведоше у Мисир; и Петефрије дворанин Фараонов, заповедник стражарски, човек Мисирац, купи га од Исмаиљаца, који га одведоше онамо.
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 И Господ беше с Јосифом, те би срећан, и живеше у кући господара свог Мисирца.
2 Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 И господар његов виде да је Господ с њим и да све што ради Господ води у напредак у руци његовој.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 И Јосиф стече милост у њега, и двораше га; а најпосле постави га над целим домом својим, и шта год имаше њему даде у руке.
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 А кад га постави над домом својим и над свим што имаше, од тада Господ благослови дом тога Мисирца ради Јосифа; и благослов Господњи беше на свему што имаше у кући и у пољу.
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 И остави у Јосифовим рукама све што имаше, и не разбираше низашта осим јела које јеђаше. А Јосиф беше лепог стаса и лепог лица.
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 И догоди се после, те се жена господара његовог загледа у Јосифа, и рече: Лези са мном.
7 After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 А он не хте, него рече жени господара свог: Ето господар мој не разбира низашта шта је у кући, него шта год има даде мени у руке.
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 Ни сам није већи од мене у овој кући, и ништа не крије од мене осим тебе, јер си му жена; па како бих учинио тако грдно зло и Богу згрешио?
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 И она говораше такве речи Јосифу сваки дан, али је не послуша да легне с њом ни да се бави код ње.
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 А један дан кад дође Јосиф у кућу да ради свој посао, а не беше никога од домашњих у кући,
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 она га ухвати за хаљину говорећи: Лези са мном. Али он оставивши јој у рукама хаљину своју побеже и отиде.
12 She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 А кад она виде где јој остави у рукама хаљину своју и побеже,
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 викну чељад своју, и рече им говорећи: Гледајте, довео нам је човека Јеврејина да нас срамоти; дође к мени да легне са мном, а ја повиках гласно;
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 а он кад чу где вичем, остави хаљину своју код мене и побеже и отиде.
15 When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 И она остави хаљину његову код себе док му господар дође кући.
16 She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 А тада му рече овако говорећи: Слуга Јеврејин, кога си нам довео, дође к мени да ме осрамоти;
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 а ја повиках гласно, те он остави хаљину своју код мене и побеже.
18 and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 А кад господар његов чу речи жене своје где му рече: То ми је учинио слуга твој, разгневи се врло.
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 И господар Јосифов ухвати га, и баци га у тамницу, где лежаху сужњи царски: и би онде у тамници.
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 Али Господ беше с Јосифом и рашири милост своју над њим и учини те омиле тамничару.
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 И повери тамничар Јосифу све сужње у тамници, и шта је год требало онде чинити он уређиваше.
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 И тамничар не надгледаше ништа што беше у Јосифовој руци, јер Господ беше с њим; и шта год чињаше, Господ вођаше у напредак.
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.
