1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。

Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife
1Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.2The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master.3His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands.4So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.5From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had, in house and field.6So he left all that he had in Joseph’s charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.7And after a time his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.”8But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge.9He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”10And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.11But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,12she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house.13And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house,14she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.15And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house.”16Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home,17and she told him the same story, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to laugh at me.18But as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment beside me and fled out of the house.”19As soon as his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, “This is the way your servant treated me,” his anger was kindled.20And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.21But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.22And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it.23The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph’s charge, because the Lord was with him. And whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed.
