The Latin Vulgate VUL
New International Version NIV
1 igitur Ioseph ductus est in Aegyptum emitque eum Putiphar eunuchus Pharaonis princeps exercitus vir aegyptius de manu Ismahelitarum a quibus perductus erat
1
Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2 fuitque Dominus cum eo et erat vir in cunctis prospere agens habitabatque in domo domini sui
2
The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
3 qui optime noverat esse Dominum cum eo et omnia quae gereret ab eo dirigi in manu illius
3
When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did,
4 invenitque Ioseph gratiam coram domino suo et ministrabat ei a quo praepositus omnibus gubernabat creditam sibi domum et universa quae tradita fuerant
4
Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.
5 benedixitque Dominus domui Aegyptii propter Ioseph et multiplicavit tam in aedibus quam in agris cunctam eius substantiam
5
From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.
6 nec quicquam aliud noverat nisi panem quo vescebatur erat autem Ioseph pulchra facie et decorus aspectu
6
So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
7 post multos itaque dies iecit domina oculos suos in Ioseph et ait dormi mecum
7
and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”
8 qui nequaquam adquiescens operi nefario dixit ad eam ecce dominus meus omnibus mihi traditis ignorat quid habeat in domo sua
8
But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care.
9 nec quicquam est quod non in mea sit potestate vel non tradiderit mihi praeter te quae uxor eius es quomodo ergo possum malum hoc facere et peccare in Deum meum
9
No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”
10 huiuscemodi verbis per singulos dies et mulier molesta erat adulescenti et ille recusabat stuprum
10
And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
11 accidit autem ut quadam die intraret Ioseph domum et operis quippiam absque arbitris faceret
11
One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside.
12 et illa adprehensa lacinia vestimenti eius diceret dormi mecum qui relicto in manu illius pallio fugit et egressus est foras
12
She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
13 cumque vidisset mulier vestem in manibus suis et se esse contemptam
13
When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14 vocavit homines domus suae et ait ad eos en introduxit virum hebraeum ut inluderet nobis ingressus est ad me ut coiret mecum cumque ego succlamassem
14
she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed.
15 et audisset vocem meam reliquit pallium quod tenebam et fugit foras
15
When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 in argumentum ergo fidei retentum pallium ostendit marito revertenti domum
16
She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home.
17 et ait ingressus est ad me servus hebraeus quem adduxisti ut inluderet mihi
17
Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me.
18 cumque vidisset me clamare reliquit pallium et fugit foras
18
But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19 his auditis dominus et nimium credulus verbis coniugis iratus est valde
19
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger.
20 tradiditque Ioseph in carcerem ubi vincti regis custodiebantur et erat ibi clausus
20
Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison,
21 fuit autem Dominus cum Ioseph et misertus illius dedit ei gratiam in conspectu principis carceris
21
the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
22 qui tradidit in manu ipsius universos vinctos qui in custodia tenebantur et quicquid fiebat sub ipso erat
22
So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.
23 nec noverat aliquid cunctis ei creditis Dominus enim erat cum illo et omnia eius opera dirigebat
23
The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
