Genèse 39
|
| And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither. | On fit descendre Joseph en Égypte; et Potiphar, officier de Pharaon, chef des gardes, Égyptien, l`acheta des Ismaélites qui l`y avaient fait descendre. |
| And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. | L`Éternel fut avec lui, et la prospérité l`accompagna; il habitait dans la maison de son maître, l`Égyptien. |
| And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand. | Son maître vit que l`Éternel était avec lui, et que l`Éternel faisait prospérer entre ses mains tout ce qu`il entreprenait. |
| And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. | Joseph trouva grâce aux yeux de son maître, qui l`employa à son service, l`établit sur sa maison, et lui confia tout ce qu`il possédait. |
| And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field. | Dès que Potiphar l`eut établi sur sa maison et sur tout ce qu`il possédait, l`Éternel bénit la maison de l`Égyptien, à cause de Joseph; et la bénédiction de l`Éternel fut sur tout ce qui lui appartenait, soit à la maison, soit aux champs. |
| And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught [that was] with him, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored. | Il abandonna aux mains de Joseph tout ce qui lui appartenait, et il n`avait avec lui d`autre soin que celui de prendre sa nourriture. Or, Joseph était beau de taille et beau de figure. |
| And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. | Après ces choses, il arriva que la femme de son maître porta les yeux sur Joseph, et dit: Couche avec moi! |
| But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand: | Il refusa, et dit à la femme de son maître: Voici, mon maître ne prend avec moi connaissance de rien dans la maison, et il a remis entre mes mains tout ce qui lui appartient. |
| he is not greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? | Il n`est pas plus grand que moi dans cette maison, et il ne m`a rien interdit, excepté toi, parce que tu es sa femme. Comment ferais-je un aussi grand mal et pécherais-je contre Dieu? |
| And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her. | Quoiqu`elle parlât tous les jours à Joseph, il refusa de coucher auprès d`elle, d`être avec elle. |
| And it came to pass about this time, that he went into the house to do his work; and there was none of the men of the house there within. | Un jour qu`il était entré dans la maison pour faire son ouvrage, et qu`il n`y avait là aucun des gens de la maison, |
| And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. | elle le saisit par son vêtement, en disant: Couche avec moi! Il lui laissa son vêtement dans la main, et s`enfuit au dehors. |
| And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, | Lorsqu`elle vit qu`il lui avait laissé son vêtement dans la main, et qu`il s`était enfui dehors, |
| that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us: he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: | elle appela les gens de sa maison, et leur dit: Voyez, il nous a amené un Hébreu pour se jouer de nous. Cet homme est venu vers moi pour coucher avec moi; mais j`ai crié à haute voix. |
| and it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out. | Et quand il a entendu que j`élevais la voix et que je criais, il a laissé son vêtement à côté de moi et s`est enfui dehors. |
| And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home. | Et elle posa le vêtement de Joseph à côté d`elle, jusqu`à ce que son maître rentrât à la maison. |
| And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: | Alors elle lui parla ainsi: L`esclave hébreu que tu nous as amené est venu vers moi pour se jouer de moi. |
| and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out. | Et comme j`ai élevé la voix et que j`ai crié, il a laissé son vêtement à côté de moi et s`est enfui dehors. |
| And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. | Après avoir entendu les paroles de sa femme, qui lui disait: Voilà ce que m`a fait ton esclave! le maître de Joseph fut enflammé de colère. |
| And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. | Il prit Joseph, et le mit dans la prison, dans le lieu où les prisonniers du roi étaient enfermés: il fut là, en prison. |
| But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. | L`Éternel fut avec Joseph, et il étendit sur lui sa bonté. Il le mit en faveur aux yeux du chef de la prison. |
| And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. | Et le chef de la prison plaça sous sa surveillance tous les prisonniers qui étaient dans la prison; et rien ne s`y faisait que par lui. |
| The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it prosper. | Le chef de la prison ne prenait aucune connaissance de ce que Joseph avait en main, parce que l`Éternel était avec lui. Et l`Éternel donnait de la réussite à ce qu`il faisait. |
