約瑟遭陷害
39 約瑟被以實瑪利商人帶到埃及，賣給了法老的內臣護衛長波提乏。 2 約瑟住在他的埃及主人家中，耶和華與他同在，使他凡事亨通。 3 他主人看出耶和華與他同在，使他凡事亨通， 4 就賞識他，讓他服侍自己，派他管理自己家中一切事務。 5 自從埃及人波提乏派約瑟管理自己家中一切事務以後，耶和華因為約瑟的緣故而賜福他主人家，使他主人家裡和田間的一切都蒙福。 6 於是，波提乏把一切事都交給約瑟管理，除了自己要吃的食物以外，什麼也不管。
約瑟體格健壯，相貌英俊。 7 後來，波提乏的妻子看中了約瑟，向他眉目傳情，要引誘他上床。 8 約瑟拒絕了她，說：「我主人信任我，把家裡一切事都交給我管理。 9 在這家裡，沒有人比我權力更大了，我主人把一切都交給了我，唯獨你除外，因為你是他的妻子。我怎能做這種醜事得罪上帝呢？」 10 但她還是每天勾引約瑟，約瑟不從，並儘量避開她。
11 一天，約瑟進屋裡辦事，那時屋裡沒有其他人。 12 波提乏的妻子抓住約瑟的外衣，硬要與他上床。約瑟丟下外衣擺脫她逃了出去。 13 她見約瑟丟下外衣逃了出去， 14 就叫來家裡的人，對他們說：「你們看，我丈夫帶回家的這個希伯來人戲弄我們！他進來要與我上床，我就大聲呼喊， 15 他聽見我大聲喊叫，就把衣服丟在我這裡，逃了出去。」 16 她把約瑟的外衣留在身邊，等她丈夫回來後， 17 就對他說：「你帶回來的那個希伯來人進來要戲弄我， 18 我大聲喊叫，他就把衣服丟在我這裡，逃了出去。」
19 波提乏聽了妻子講述約瑟如何對待她之後，勃然大怒， 20 把約瑟關進王囚禁犯人的監牢。 21 約瑟坐牢的時候，耶和華與他同在，恩待他，使監獄長賞識他。 22 監獄長把獄中所有囚犯及一切事務都交給約瑟管理。 23 凡交到約瑟手中的事情，監獄長都很放心，因為耶和華與約瑟同在，使他凡事亨通。
Genesis 39
GOD’S WORD Translation
Joseph in Potiphar’s House
39 Joseph had been taken to Egypt. Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s Egyptian officials and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2 The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. He worked in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 Joseph’s master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made everything he did successful. 4 Potiphar liked Joseph so much that he made him his trusted servant. He put him in charge of his household and everything he owned. 5 From that time on the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s household because of Joseph. Therefore, the Lord’s blessing was on everything Potiphar owned in his house and in his fields. 6 So he left all that he owned in Joseph’s care. He wasn’t concerned about anything except the food he ate.
Joseph was well-built and handsome. 7 After a while his master’s wife began to desire Joseph, so she said, “Come to bed with me.”
8 But Joseph refused and said to her, “My master doesn’t concern himself with anything in the house. He trusts me with everything he owns. 9 No one in this house is greater than I. He’s kept nothing back from me except you, because you’re his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” 10 Although she kept asking Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or be with her.
11 One day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there. 12 She grabbed him by his clothes and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he ran outside and left his clothes in her hand.
13 When she realized that he had gone but had left his clothes behind, 14 she called her household servants and said to them, “Look! My husband brought this Hebrew here to fool around with us. He came in and tried to go to bed with me, but I screamed as loud as I could. 15 As soon as he heard me scream, he ran outside and left his clothes with me.”
16 She kept Joseph’s clothes with her until his master came home. 17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought here came in and tried to fool around with me. 18 But when I screamed, he ran outside and left his clothes with me.”
19 When Potiphar heard his wife’s story, especially when she said, “This is what your slave did to me,” he became very angry. 20 So Joseph’s master arrested him and put him in the same prison where the king’s prisoners were kept.
While Joseph was in prison, 21 the Lord was with him. The Lord reached out to him with his unchanging love and gave him protection. The Lord also put Joseph on good terms with the warden. 22 So the warden placed Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in that prison. Joseph became responsible for everything that they were doing. 23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care because the Lord was with Joseph and made whatever he did successful.
