1 Иосиф же отведен был в Египет, и купил его из рук Измаильтян, приведших его туда, Египтянин Потифар, царедворец фараонов, начальник телохранителей.
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 был Господь с Иосифом: он был успешен в делах и жил в доме господина своего, Египтянина.
2 Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 И увидел господин его, что Господь с ним и что всему, что он делает, Господь в руках его дает успех.
3 His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 И снискал Иосиф благоволение в очах его и служил ему. И он поставил его над домом своим, и все, что имел, отдал на руки его.
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 И с того времени, как он поставил его над домом своим и над всем, что имел, Господь благословил дом Египтянина ради Иосифа, и было благословение Господне на всем, что имел он в доме и в поле [его].
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 оставил он все, что имел, в руках Иосифа и не знал при нем ничего, кроме хлеба, который он ел. Иосиф же был красив станом и красив лицем.
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 обратила взоры на Иосифа жена господина его и сказала: спи со мною.
7 After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 Но он отказался и сказал жене господина своего: вот, господин мой не знает при мне ничего в доме, и все, что имеет, отдал в мои руки;
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 нет больше меня в доме сем; и он не запретил мне ничего, кроме тебя, потому что ты жена ему; как же сделаю я сие великое зло и согрешу пред Богом?
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 Когда так она ежедневно говорила Иосифу, а он не слушался ее, чтобы спать с нею и быть с нею,
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 случилось в один день, что он вошел в дом делать дело свое, а никого из домашних тут в доме не было;
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 схватила его за одежду его и сказала: ложись со мной. Но он, оставив одежду свою в руках ее, побежал и выбежал вон.
12 She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 Она же, увидев, что он оставил одежду свою в руках ее и побежал вон,
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 кликнула домашних своих и сказала им так: посмотрите, он привел к нам Еврея ругаться над нами. Он пришел ко мне, чтобы лечь со мною, но я закричала громким голосом,
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 и он, услышав, что я подняла вопль и закричала, оставил у меня одежду свою, и побежал, и выбежал вон.
15 When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 И оставила одежду его у себя до прихода господина его в дом свой.
16 She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 И пересказала ему те же слова, говоря: раб Еврей, которого ты привел к нам, приходил ко мне ругаться надо мною [и говорил мне: лягу я с тобою],
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 но, когда [услышал, что] я подняла вопль и закричала, он оставил у меня одежду свою и убежал вон.
18 and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 Когда господин его услышал слова жены своей, которые она сказала ему, говоря: так поступил со мною раб твой, то воспылал гневом;
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 взял Иосифа господин его и отдал его в темницу, где заключены узники царя. И был он там в темнице.
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 И Господь был с Иосифом, и простер к нему милость, и даровал ему благоволение в очах начальника темницы.
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 отдал начальник темницы в руки Иосифу всех узников, находившихся в темнице, и во всем, что они там ни делали, он был распорядителем.
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 Начальник темницы и не смотрел ни за чем, что было у него в руках, потому что Господь был с Иосифом, и во всем, что он делал, Господь давал успех.
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.
