| 1 | 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. | Igitur Ioseph ductus est in Aegyptum, emitque eum Putiphar eunuchus Pharaonis, princeps exercitus, vir aegyptius, de manu Ismaëlitarum, a quibus perductus erat. |
| 2 | And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master’s house, | Fuitque Dominus cum eo, et erat vir in cunctis prospere agens: habitavitque in domo domini sui, |
| 3 | Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand. | qui optime noverat Dominum esse cum eo, et omnia, quae gerebat, ab eo dirigi in manu illius. |
| 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: | Invenitque Ioseph gratiam coram domino suo, et ministrabat ei: a quo praepositus omnibus gubernabat creditam sibi domum, et universa quae ei tradita fuerant: |
| 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. | benedixitque Dominus domui Aegyptii propter Ioseph, et multiplicavit tam in aedibus quam in agris cunctam eius substantiam: |
| 6 | Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold. | nec quidquam aliud noverat, nisi panem quo vescebatur. Erat autem Ioseph pulchra facie, et decorus aspectu. |
| 7 | And after many days his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me. | Post multos itaque dies iniecit domina sua oculos suos in Ioseph, et ait: Dormi mecum. |
| 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: | Qui nequaquam acquiescens operi nefario, dixit ad eam: Ecce dominus meus, omnibus mihi traditis, ignorat quid habeat in domo sua: |
| 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? | nec quidquam est quod non in mea sit potestate, vel non tradiderit mihi, praeter te, quae uxor eius es: quomodo ergo possum hoc malum facere, et peccare in Deum meum? |
| 10 | With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery. | Huiuscemodi verbis per singulos dies, et mulier molesta erat adolescenti: et ille recusabat stuprum. |
| 11 | Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business without any, man with him: | Accidit autem quadam die ut intraret Ioseph domum, et operis quippiam absque arbitris faceret: |
| 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. | et illa, apprehensa lacinia vestimenti eius, diceret: Dormi mecum. Qui relicto in manu eius pallio fugit, et egressus est foras. |
| 13 | And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded, | Cumque vidisset mulier vestem in manibus suis, et se esse contemptam, |
| 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, | vocavit ad se homines domus suae, et ait ad eos: En introduxit virum hebraeum, ut illuderet nobis: ingressus est ad me, ut coiret mecum: cumque ego succlamassem, |
| 15 | And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out. | et audisset vocem meam, reliquit pallium quod tenebam, et fugit foras. |
| 16 | For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home: | In argumentum ergo fidei retentum pallium ostendit marito revertenti domum, |
| 17 | And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me. | et ait: Ingressus est ad me servus hebraeus quem adduxisti, ut illuderet mihi: |
| 18 | And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out. | cumque audisset me clamare, reliquit pallium quod tenebam, et fugit foras. |
| 19 | His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife’s words, was very angry. | His auditis dominus, et nimium credulus verbis coniugis, iratus est valde: |
| 20 | And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king’s prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up. | tradiditque Ioseph in carcerem, ubi vincti regis custodiebantur, et erat ibi clausus. |
| 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: | Fuit autem Dominus cum Ioseph, et misertus illius dedit ei gratiam in conspectu principis carceris. |
| 22 | Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him. | Qui tradidit in manu illius universos vinctos qui in custodia tenebantur: et quidquid fiebat, sub ipso erat. |
| 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. | Nec noverat aliquid, cunctis ei creditis: Dominus enim erat cum illo, et omnia opera eius dirigebat. |
