7 Nende asjaolude tõttu sündis, et ta isanda naine Joosepile silma heitis ja ütles: „Maga mu juures!"

8 Aga ta keeldus ja ütles oma isanda naisele: „Vaata, mu isand ise ei tea, mis kojas on, ja kõik, mis tal on, ta on andnud minu kätte.

9 Ei ole ükski selles kojas suurem minust ja tema ei ole mulle keelanud midagi muud kui sind, sest sa oled tema naine. Kuidas tohiksin siis teha seda suurt kurja ja pattu oma Jumala vastu?"

10 Ja kuigi naine rääkis Joosepile iga päev, ei kuulanud see teda, et ta magaks ta kõrval ja oleks ta juures.

11 Aga ühel päeval, kui Joosep tuli koju oma toimetusi tegema ja ühtki inimest pererahvast ei olnud kodus,

12 ta haaras kinni tema kuuest, öeldes: „Maga mu juures!" Aga Joosep jättis oma kuue tema kätte, põgenes ja läks õue.

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.
