And Yosef was brought down to Mitzrayim; and Potiphar, a saris Pharaoh, Sar Hatabachim (captain of the bodyguard), a Mitzri, bought him of the hands of the Yishme'elim, which had brought him down to there.
And Hashem was with Yosef, and he was an ish matzliach (a man [G-d] makes prosper); and he was in the bais adonav haMitzri.
And adonav saw that Hashem was with him, and that Hashem caused all that he did matzliach in his yad.

וַיִּמְצָ֨א SDBH found יוֹסֵ֥ף SDBH Joseph חֵ֛ן SDBH favor בְּעֵינָ֖יו SDBH in his sight וַיְשָׁ֣רֶת SDBH and became his personal attendant אֹת֑וֹ SDBH - וַיַּפְקִדֵ֙הוּ֙ SDBH Potiphar put him עַל־ in charge of בֵּית֔וֹ SDBH his household וְכָל־ with everything יֶשׁ־ he owned ל֖וֹ . . . נָתַ֥ן and entrusted בְּיָדֽוֹ׃ SDBH him
And Yosef found chen in his eyes, and he ministered to him; and he made him mefake'ach (overseer) over his bais, and all that he had he entrusted into his yad.

וַיְהִ֡י מֵאָז֩ SDBH From the time הִפְקִ֨יד SDBH that he put [Joseph] in charge אֹת֜וֹ SDBH - בְּבֵית֗וֹ SDBH of his household וְעַל֙ and כָּל־ all אֲשֶׁ֣ר SDBH - יֶשׁ־ he owned ל֔וֹ - וַיְבָ֧רֶךְ SDBH blessed יְהוָ֛ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi אֶת־ SDBH - בֵּ֥ית SDBH household הַמִּצְרִ֖י SDBH the Egyptian’s בִּגְלַ֣ל SDBH on account of יוֹסֵ֑ף SDBH [him] וַיְהִ֞י . . . בִּרְכַּ֤ת SDBH blessing יְהוָה֙ SDBH Hashem/Adonoi בְּכָל־ [was] on everything אֲשֶׁ֣ר SDBH - יֶשׁ־ he owned ל֔וֹ . . . בַּבַּ֖יִת SDBH both in his house וּבַשָּׂדֶֽה׃ SDBH and in his field
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him mefake'ach (overseer) in his bais, and over all that he had, that Hashem put a bracha on the bais haMitzri on account of Yosef; and the birkat Hashem was upon all that he had in the bais, and in the sadeh.
And he left all that he had in the yad Yosef; and he knew not ought he had, save the lechem which he did eat. And Yosef was yafeh to'ar (well built) and yafeh mareh (good looking).
And it came to pass after these things, that eshet adonav cast her eyes upon Yosef; and she said, Lie with me.

וַיְמָאֵ֓ן׀ SDBH But he refused וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ SDBH he said אֶל־ to אֵ֣שֶׁת SDBH wife אֲדֹנָ֔יו SDBH his master’s הֵ֣ן Look אֲדֹנִ֔י SDBH my master לֹא־ SDBH does not יָדַ֥ע SDBH concern himself אִתִּ֖י SDBH with me here מַה־ SDBH with anything בַּבָּ֑יִת SDBH in his house וְכֹ֥ל everything אֲשֶׁר־ SDBH - יֶשׁ־ he owns ל֖וֹ to נָתַ֥ן and he has entrusted בְּיָדִֽי׃ SDBH my care
But he refused, and said unto eshet adonav, Look, with me [here], adoni knows not what is in the bais, and he hath entrusted all that he hath to my yad;
There is none gadol in this bais than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me except thee only, because thou art his isha; how then can I do hara'ah hagedolah hazot, and commit chattat against Elohim?
And it came to pass, as she spoke to Yosef yom yom, that he unto her lo shama (did not pay heed), to lie with her, or to be with her.
And it came to pass about this time, that Yosef went into the bais to do his melachah (work); and there was none of the anshei habayit there within.
And she caught him by his beged, saying, Lie with me; and he left his beged in her yad, and fled, and ran outside.
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his beged in her yad, and had fled outside,
14
וַתִּקְרָ֞א SDBH she called לְאַנְשֵׁ֣י SDBH servants בֵיתָ֗הּ SDBH her household וַתֹּ֤אמֶר SDBH she said לָהֶם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר SDBH - רְא֗וּ SDBH Look הֵ֥בִיא SDBH has been brought לָ֛נוּ to us אִ֥ישׁ SDBH . . . עִבְרִ֖י SDBH this Hebrew לְצַ֣חֶק SDBH to make sport בָּ֑נוּ of us בָּ֤א SDBH He came אֵלַי֙ to me לִשְׁכַּ֣ב SDBH so he could sleep עִמִּ֔י with me וָאֶקְרָ֖א SDBH but I screamed בְּק֥וֹל SDBH as loud גָּדֽוֹל׃ SDBH as I could
That she called unto her anshei habayit, and spoke unto them, saying, Look, he hath brought in unto us an ish Ivri to show disrespect and mock us. He came in unto me to lie with me, and I screamed with a kol gadol (loud voice);
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and screamed, that he left his beged with me, and fled, and ran outside.
16
וַתַּנַּ֥ח SDBH So [Potiphar’s wife] kept בִּגְד֖וֹ SDBH Joseph’s cloak אֶצְלָ֑הּ SDBH beside her עַד־ SDBH until בּ֥וֹא SDBH came אֲדֹנָ֖יו SDBH his master אֶל־ . . . בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ SDBH home
And she laid up his beged by her, until adonav came to his bais.
17
And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying, The eved HaIvri, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to show disrespect and mock me;
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and screamed, that he left his beged with me, and fled outside.
And it came to pass, when adonav heard the words of his isha, which she spoke unto him, saying, After this manner did thy eved to me; that his wrath was kindled.
And adonei Yosef took him, and put him into the bais hasohar, a place where the asirei HaMelech were prisoners; and he was there in the bais hasohar.
But Hashem was with Yosef, and showed him chesed, and gave him chen in the eyes of the sar bais hasohar.
And the sar bais hasohar entrusted to the yad Yosef all the asirim (prisoners) that were in the bais hasohar; and whatsoever they did there, he was the accomplisher of it.

אֵ֣ין׀ SDBH did not שַׂ֣ר SDBH The warden בֵּית־ SDBH . . . הַסֹּ֗הַר SDBH . . . רֹאֶ֤ה SDBH concern himself אֶֽת־ SDBH - כָּל־ with anything מְא֙וּמָה֙ SDBH . . . בְּיָד֔וֹ SDBH under Joseph’s care בַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר SDBH because יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi אִתּ֑וֹ SDBH was with [Joseph] וַֽאֲשֶׁר־ SDBH in whatever ה֥וּא SDBH he עֹשֶׂ֖ה SDBH did יְהוָ֥ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi מַצְלִֽיחַ׃ס SDBH and gave him success
The sar bais hasohar looked not to anything that was under his [Yosef's] yad; because Hashem was with him, and that which he did, Hashem made it to prosper.
