7 And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.

8 But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;

9 So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?

10 And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.

11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.

12 And pulling at his coat, she said, Come to my bed; but slipping out of his coat, he went running away.

7 这些事以后， 约瑟主人的妻子以目传情给约瑟， 说： "与我同睡吧。"

8 约瑟不肯， 对他主人的妻子说： "你看， 家中的事我主人一概不管； 他把他所有的一切， 都交在我的手里。

9 在这家里没有比我大的。除你以外， 我主人没有留下一样不交给我， 因为你是他的妻子。我怎可以作这极恶的事， 得罪 神呢？"

10 她虽然天天对约瑟这样说， 约瑟却不听从她， 不肯与她同睡， 也不与她在一起。

11 有一天， 约瑟到屋里办事， 家里的人没有一个在屋里。

12 妇人就抓住约瑟的衣服， 说： "与我同睡吧。"约瑟把自己的衣服留在妇人的手里， 跑到外面去了。
