Genesis 39
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Si Jose at ang Asawa ni Potifar
39 Dinala nga si Jose sa Egipto at doo'y ipinagbili siya ng mga Ismaelita kay Potifar, isang Egipcio na pinuno sa pamahalaan ng Faraon at kapitan ng mga tanod sa palasyo. 2 Sa(A) buong panahon ng paglilingkod ni Jose sa bahay ni Potifar ay pinatnubayan siya ni Yahweh. Anumang kanyang gawin ay nagtatagumpay. 3 Napansin ni Potifar na tinutulungan ni Yahweh si Jose, 4 kaya ginawa niya itong katiwala sa bahay at sa lahat niyang ari-arian. 5 Mula noon, dahil kay Jose ay pinagpala ni Yahweh ang buong sambahayan ni Potifar pati ang kanyang mga bukirin. 6 Ipinagkatiwala ni Potifar kay Jose ang lahat, maliban sa pagpili ng kanyang kakainin.
Si Jose'y matipuno at magandang lalaki. 7 Dumating ang panahon na pinagnasaan siya ng asawa ni Potifar. Sinabi nito, “Sipingan mo ako.”
8 Tumanggi si Jose at ang sabi, “Panatag po ang kalooban ng aking panginoon sapagkat ako'y narito. Ginawa niya akong katiwala, 9 at ipinamahala niya sa akin ang lahat sa bahay na ito, maliban sa inyo na kanyang asawa. Hindi ko po magagawa ang ganyan kalaking kataksilan at pagkakasala sa Diyos.” 10 Hindi pinapansin ni Jose ang babae kahit araw-araw itong nakikiusap na sumiping sa kanya.
11 Ngunit isang araw, nasa bahay si Jose upang gampanan ang kanyang tungkulin. Nagkataong wala roon ang ibang mga utusan. 12 Walang anu-ano'y hinablot ng babae ang kanyang balabal at sinabi, “Halika't sipingan mo na ako!” Patakbo siyang lumabas ngunit naiwan ang kanyang balabal sa babae. 13 Sa pangyayaring ito, 14 nagsisigaw ito at tinawag ang mga katulong na lalaki, “Tingnan ninyo! Dinalhan tayo ng asawa ko ng Hebreong ito para hamakin tayo. Sukat ba namang pasukin ako sa aking silid at gusto akong pagsamantalahan! Mabuti na lamang at ako'y nakasigaw. 15 Pagsigaw ko'y kumaripas siya ng takbo, at naiwan sa akin ang kanyang damit.”
16 Itinago niya ang balabal ni Jose hanggang sa dumating ang asawa. 17 Sinabi niya rito, “Ang Hebreong dinala mo rito'y bigla na lamang pumasok sa aking silid at gusto akong pagsamantalahan. 18 Nang ako'y sumigaw, kumaripas ng takbo at naiwan sa akin ang kanyang balabal.”
19 Nagalit si Potifar nang marinig ang sinabi ng asawa, 20 kaya't ipinahuli niya si Jose at isinama sa mga bilanggong tauhan ng Faraon. 21 Ngunit(B) si Jose ay hindi pinabayaan ni Yahweh. Ang bantay ng bilangguan ay naging napakabait sa kanya. 22 Si Jose ay ginawa niyang tagapamahala ng lahat ng mga bilanggo, at siya ang tanging nagpapasya kung ano ang gagawin sa loob ng bilangguan. 23 Hindi na halos nakikialam ang bantay ng bilangguan sa ginagawa ni Jose, sapagkat si Yahweh ay kasama nito at pinagtatagumpay siya sa lahat niyang gawain.
Genesis 39
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
39 And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master's house,
3 Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:
5 And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
6 Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold.
7 And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me.
8 But he, in no wise consenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house:
9 Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife: how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God?
10 With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery.
11 Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him:
12 And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out.
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded,
14 She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,
15 And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.
16 For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:
17 And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me.
18 And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.
19 His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife's words, was very angry.
20 And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king's prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:
22 Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.
23 Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
