AND Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down thither.

ΙΩΣΗΦ δὲ κατήχθη εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐκτήσατο αὐτὸν Πετεφρὴς ὁ εὐνοῦχος Φαραώ, ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος, ἀνὴρ Αἰγύπτιος, ἐκ χειρῶν τῶν ᾿Ισμαηλιτῶν, οἳ κατήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.

І҆ѡ́сифъ же приведе́нъ бы́сть во є҆гѵ́петъ. И҆ кꙋпѝ є҆го̀ пентефрі́й є҆ѵнꙋ́хъ фараѡ́новъ а҆рхїмагі́ръ, мꙋ́жъ є҆гѵ́птѧнинъ, ѿ рꙋ́къ і҆сма́ильтѧнъ, и҆̀же приведо́ша є҆го̀ та́мѡ.

2

And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.

καὶ ἦν Κύριος μετὰ ᾿Ιωσήφ, καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ ἐπιτυγχάνων καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ Αἰγυπτίῳ.

И҆ бѧ́ше гдⷭ҇ь со і҆ѡ́сифомъ: и҆ бѧ́ше мꙋ́жъ благополꙋ́ченъ, и҆ бы́сть въ домꙋ̀ господи́на своегѡ̀ є҆гѵ́птѧнина.

3

And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatsoever he happens to do.

ᾔδει δὲ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν ποιῇ, Κύριος εὐοδοῖ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ.

Вѣ́дѧше же господи́нъ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь бѣ̀ съ ни́мъ, и҆ є҆ли̑ка твори́тъ, гдⷭ҇ь благоꙋстроѧ́етъ въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀.

4

And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.

καὶ εὗρεν ᾿Ιωσὴφ χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐηρέστησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ, ἔδωκε διὰ χειρὸς ᾿Ιωσήφ.

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.

5

And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.

ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ καταστῆναι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ, καὶ ηὐλόγησε Κύριος τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου διὰ ᾿Ιωσήφ, καὶ ἐγενήθη εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ.

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.

6

And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.

καὶ ἐπέτρεψε πάντα, ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ, εἰς χεῖρας ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει τῶν καθ᾿ αὑτὸν οὐδὲν πλὴν τοῦ ἄρτου, οὗ ἤσθιεν αὐτός. Καὶ ἦν ᾿Ιωσὴφ καλὸς τῷ εἴδει καὶ ὡραῖος τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα.

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.

7

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me.

καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα καὶ ἐπέβαλεν ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς ἐπὶ ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ εἶπε· κοιμήθητι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ.

И҆ бы́сть по словесѣ́хъ си́хъ, и҆ возложѝ жена̀ господи́на є҆гѡ̀ ѻ҆́чи своѧ̑ на і҆ѡ́сифа и҆ речѐ: пребꙋ́ди со мно́ю.

8

But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:

ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἤθελεν, εἶπε δὲ τῇ γυναικὶ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ· εἰ ὁ κύριός μου οὐ γινώσκει δι᾿ ἐμὲ οὐδὲν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῷ, ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς χεῖράς μου

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,

9

and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but thou, because thou art his wife-- how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?

καὶ οὐχ ὑπερέχει ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ταύτῃ οὐδὲν ἐμοῦ, οὐδὲ ὑπεξῄρηται ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ οὐδὲν πλὴν σοῦ, διὰ τὸ σὲ γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ εἶναι, καὶ πῶς ποιήσω τὸ ρῆμα τὸ πονηρὸν τοῦτο, καὶ ἁμαρτήσομαι ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ;

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;

10

And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,

ἡνίκα δὲ ἐλάλει τῷ ᾿Ιωσὴφ ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουεν αὐτῇ καθεύδειν μετ᾿ αὐτῆς τοῦ συγγενέσθαι αὐτῇ.

Є҆гда́ же і҆ѡ́сифꙋ глаго́лаше де́нь ѿ днѐ, и҆ не послꙋ́шаше є҆ѧ̀ є҆́же спа́ти и҆ бы́ти съ не́ю.

11

it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.

ἐγένετο δὲ τοιαύτη τις ἡμέρα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ᾿Ιωσὴφ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ποιεῖν τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἦν τῶν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἔσω,

Бы́сть же сицевы́й нѣ́кїй де́нь, и҆ вни́де і҆ѡ́сифъ въ до́мъ дѣ́лати дѣла̀ своѧ̑, и҆ никто́же бѧ́ше ѿ сꙋ́щихъ въ домꙋ̀ внꙋ́трь:

12

And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.

καὶ ἐπεσπάσατο αὐτὸν τῶν ἱματίων λέγουσα· κοιμήθητι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ. καὶ καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς ἔφυγε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω.

и҆ ᲂу҆хватѝ є҆го̀ за ри̑зы, глаго́лющи: лѧ́зи со мно́ю. И҆ ѡ҆ста́вивъ ри̑зы своѧ̑ въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀, ᲂу҆бѣжѐ и҆ и҆зы́де во́нъ.

13

And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν, ὅτι καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς ἔφυγε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω,

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ви́дѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́вль ри̑зы своѧ̑ въ рꙋка́хъ є҆ѧ̀, бѣжа̀ и҆ и҆зы́де во́нъ:

14

that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us-- he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

καὶ ἐκάλεσε τοὺς ὄντας ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς λέγουσα· ἴδετε, εἰσήγαγεν ἡμῖν παῖδα ῾Εβραῖον ἐμπαίζειν ἡμῖν· εἰσῆλθε πρός με λέγων· κοιμήθητι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐβόησα φωνῇ μεγάλῃ·

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:

15

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.

ἐν δὲ τῷ ἀκοῦσαι αὐτὸν ὅτι ὕψωσα τὴν φωνήν μου καὶ ἐβόησα, καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ ἔφυγε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω.

и҆ є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́ша ѻ҆́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возвы́сихъ гла́съ мо́й и҆ возопи́хъ, ѡ҆ста́вль ри̑зы своѧ̑ ᲂу҆ менє̀, ѿбѣжѐ и҆ и҆зы́де во́нъ.

16

So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.

καὶ καταλιμπάνει τὰ ἱμάτια παρ᾿ ἑαυτῇ, ἕως ἦλθεν ὁ κύριος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

И҆ ᲂу҆держа̀ ри̑зы ᲂу҆ себє̀, до́ндеже прїи́де господи́нъ въ до́мъ сво́й.

17

And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou broughtest in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with thee.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα λέγουσα· εἰσῆλθε πρός με ὁ παῖς ὁ ῾Εβραῖος, ὃν εἰσήγαγες πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἐμπαῖξαί μοι καὶ εἶπέ μοι· κοιμηθήσομαι μετὰ σοῦ·

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:

18

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.

ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν ὅτι ὕψωσα τὴν φωνήν μου καὶ ἐβόησα, καταλιπὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ ἔφυγε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω.

є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ воздвиго́хъ гла́съ мо́й и҆ возопи́хъ, ѡ҆ста́вль ри̑зы своѧ̑ ᲂу҆ менє̀, ѿбѣжѐ и҆ и҆зы́де во́нъ.

19

And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did thy servant to me, that he was very angry.

ἐγένετο δέ, ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ τὰ ρήματα τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ὅσα ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτόν, λέγουσα· οὕτως ἐποίησέ μοι ὁ παῖς σου, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ.

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́ша господи́нъ є҆гѡ̀ глаго́лы жены̀ своеѧ̀, є҆ли̑ка речѐ къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лющи: си́це сотвори́ ми ѻ҆́трокъ тво́й: и҆ разгнѣ́васѧ ꙗ҆́ростїю,

20

And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.

καὶ λαβὼν ὁ κύριος ᾿Ιωσὴφ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ὀχύρωμα, εἰς τὸν τόπον, ἐν ᾦ οἱ δεσμῶται τοῦ βασιλέως κατέχονται ἐκεῖ ἐν τῷ ὀχυρώματι.

и҆ взе́мъ господи́нъ і҆ѡ́сифа, вве́рже є҆го̀ въ темни́цꙋ, въ мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же ᲂу҆́зники царє́вы держа́тсѧ та́мѡ въ тверды́ни.

21

And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.

Καὶ ἦν Κύριος μετὰ ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ κατέχεεν αὐτοῦ ἔλεος καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλακος,

И҆ бѧ́ше гдⷭ҇ь со і҆ѡ́сифомъ, и҆ возлїѧ̀ на него̀ млⷭ҇ть, и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ блгⷣть пред̾ нача́льнымъ стра́жемъ темни́чнымъ:

22

And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatsoever they do there, he did them.

καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλαξ τὸ δεσμωτήριον διὰ χειρὸς ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀπηγμένους, ὅσοι ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ποιοῦσιν ἐκεῖ, αὐτὸς ἦν ποιῶν.

и҆ вдадѐ старѣ́йшина страже́й темни́цꙋ въ рꙋ́цѣ і҆ѡ́сифꙋ и҆ всѣ́хъ вве́рженыхъ въ темни́цꙋ: и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка творѧ́хꙋ та́мѡ, то́й бѣ̀ творѧ́й.

23

Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.

οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλαξ τοῦ δεσμωτηρίου γινώσκων δι᾿ αὐτὸν οὐδέν· πάντα γὰρ ἦν διὰ χειρὸς ᾿Ιωσὴφ διὰ τὸ τὸν Κύριον μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἶναι, καὶ ὅσα αὐτὸς ἐποίει, ὁ Κύριος εὐώδου ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ.

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.
