Genesis 39
1 యాసేపును ఐగుప్తునకు తీసికొని వచ్చినప్పుడు ఫరో యొక్క ఉద్యోగస్థుడును రాజసంరక్షక సేనాధిపతియు నైన పోతీఫరను నొక ఐగుప్తీయుడు, అక్కడికి అతని తీసికొని వచ్చిన ఇష్మాయేలీయులయొద్ద నతని కొనెను.
2 యెహోవా యోసేపునకు తోడైయుండెను గనుక అతడు వర్ధిల్లుచు తన యజమానుడగు ఆ ఐగుప్తీయుని యింట నుండెను.
3 యెహోవా అతనికి తోడై యుండెననియు, అతడు చేసినదంతయు అతని చేతిలో యెహోవా సఫలము చేసెననియు అతని యజమానుడు చూచినప్పుడు
4 యోసేపుమీద అతనికి కటాక్షము కలిగెను గనుక అతని యొద్ద పరిచర్య చేయువాడాయెను. మరియు అతడు తన యింటిమీద విచారణకర్తగా అతని నియమించి తనకు కలిగినదంతయు అతనిచేతి కప్పగించెను.
5 అతడు తన యింటిమీదను తనకు కలిగినదంతటిమీదను అతని విచారణ కర్తగా నియమించినకాలము మొదలుకొని యెహోవా యోసేపు నిమిత్తము ఆ ఐగుప్తీయుని యింటిని ఆశీర్వదిం చెను. యెహోవా
6 అతడు తనకు కలిగిన దంతయు యోసేపు చేతి కప్పగించి, తాను ఆహారము తినుట తప్ప తనకేమి ఉన్నదో ఏమి లేదో విచారించినవాడు కాడు. యోసేపు రూపవంతుడును సుందరుడునై యుండెన
7 అటుతరువాత అతని యజ మానుని భార్య యోసేపుమీద కన్నువేసితనతో శయ నించుమని చెప్పెను
8 అయితే అతడు ఒప్పకనా యజ మానుడు తనకు కలిగినదంతయు నా చేతికప్పగించెనుగదా, నా వశమున తన యింటిలో ఏమి ఉన్నదో అతడెరుగడు; ఈ యింటిలో నాకంటె పైవాడు ఎవడును లేడు.
9 నీవు అతని భార్యవైనందున నిన్ను తప్ప మరి దేనిని నా కప్ప గింపక యుండలేదు. కాబట్టి నేనెట్లు ఇంత ఘోరమైన దుష్కార్యము చేసి దేవునికి విరోధముగా పాపము కట్టు కొందునని తన యజమానుని భార్యతో అనెను.
10 దిన దినము ఆమె యోసేపుతో మాటలాడుచుండెను గాని అతడు ఆమెతో శయనించుటకైనను ఆమెతో నుండుటకైనను ఆమె మాట విన్నవాడుకాడు.
11 అట్లుండగా ఒక నాడు అతడు తన పనిమీద ఇంటిలోపలికి వెళ్లినప్పుడు ఇంటి మనుష్యులలో ఎవరును అక్కడ లేరు.
12 అప్పుడామె ఆతని వస్త్రము పట్టుకొని తనతో శయనింపుమని చెప్పగా అతడు తన వస్త్రమును ఆమె చేతిలో విడిచి పెట్టి తప్పించుకొని బయటికి పారిపోయెను.
13 అతడు తన వస్త్రమును ఆమె చేతిలో విడిచి తప్పించు కొనిపోవుట ఆమె చూచినప్పుడు
14 తన యింటి మను ష్యులను పిలిచిచూడుడి, అతడు మనలను ఎగతాళి చేయుటకు ఒక హెబ్రీయుని మనయొద్దకు తెచ్చి యున్నాడు. నాతో శయనింపవలెనని వీడు నా యొద్దకురాగా నేను పెద్దకేక వేసితిని.
15 నేను బిగ్గరగా కేకవేయుట వాడు విని నా దగ్గర తన వస్త్రమును విడిచిపెట్టి తప్పించుకొని బయటికి పారిపోయెనని వారితో చెప్పి
16 అతని యజమానుడు ఇంటికి వచ్చువరకు అతని వస్త్రము తనదగ్గర ఉంచుకొనెను.
17 అప్పుడామె తన భర్తతో ఈ మాటల చొప్పున చెప్పెను నీవు మనయొద్దకు తెచ్చిన ఆ హెబ్రీదాసుడు నన్ను ఎగతాళి చేయుటకు నాయొద్దకు వచ్చెను.
18 నేను బిగ్గరగా కేక వేసినప్పుడు వాడు తన వస్త్రము నా దగ్గర విడిచిపెట్టి తప్పించుకొని బయటికి పారి పోయెననెను
19 కాబట్టి అతని యజమానుడుఇట్లు నీ దాసుడు నన్ను చేసెనని తన భార్య తనతో చెప్పిన మాటలు విన్నప్పుడు కోపముతో మండిపడి
20 అతనిని పట్టుకొని రాజు ఖైదీలు బంధింపబడు చెరసాలలో వేయించెను. అతడక్కడ చెర సాలలో ఉండెను.
21 అయితే యెహోవా యోసేపునకు తోడైయుండి, అతని యందు కనికరపడి అతనిమీద ఆ చెరసాలయొక్క అధిపతికి కటాక్షము కలుగునట్లుచేసెను.
22 చెరసాల అధిపతి ఆ చెరసాలలోనున్న ఖైదీల నందరిని యోసేపు చేతి కప్పగించెను. వారక్కడ ఏమి చేసిరో అదంతయు అతడే చేయించువాడు.
23 యెహోవా అతనికి తోడైయుండెను గనుక ఆ చెరసాల అధిపతి అతని చేతికి అప్పగింపబడిన దేనిగూర్చియు విచారణ చేయక యుండెను. అతడు చేయునది యావత్తు యెహోవా సఫలమగునట్లు చేసెను.
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 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.
11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12 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.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19 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.
20 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 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.
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
