38：20犹大托他朋友亚杜兰人送一只山羊羔去，要从那女人手里取回当头来，却找不着她。
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite； to receive his pledge from the woman's hand： but he found her not。
38：21就问那地方的人说，伊拿印路旁的妓女在哪里，他们说，这里并没有妓女。
Then he asked the men of that place； saying； Where is the harlot； that was openly by the way side？ And they said； There was no harlot in this place。
38：22他回去见犹大说，我没有找着她，并且那地方的人说，这里没有妓女。
And he returned to Judah； and said； I cannot find her； and also the men of the place said； that there was no harlot in this place。
38：23犹大说，我把这山羊羔送去了，你竟找不着她。任凭她拿去吧，免得我们被羞辱。
And Judah said； Let her take it to her； lest we be shamed： behold； I sent this kid； and thou hast not found her。
38：24约过了三个月，有人告诉犹大说，你的儿妇他玛作了妓女，且因行淫有了身孕。犹大说，拉出她来，把她烧了。
And it came to pass about three months after； that it was told Judah； saying； Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot； and also； behold； she is with child by whoredom。 And Judah said； Bring her forth； and let her be burnt。
38：25他玛被拉出来的时候便打发人去见她公公，对他说，这些东西是谁的，我就是从谁怀的孕。请你认一认，这印和带子并杖都是谁的，
When she was brought forth； she sent to her father in law； saying； By the man； whose these are； am I with child： and she said； Discern； I pray thee； whose are these； the signet； and bracelets； and staff。
38：26犹大承认说，她比我更有义，因为我没有将她给我的儿子示拉。从此犹大不再与她同寝了。
And Judah acknowledged them； and said； She hath been more righteous than I； because that I gave her not to Shelah my son。 And he knew her again no more。
38：27他玛将要生产，不料她腹里是一对双生。
And it came to pass in the time of her travail； that； behold； twins were in her womb。
38：28到生产的时候，一个孩子伸出一只手来。收生婆拿红线拴在他手上，说，这是头生的。
And it came to pass； when she travailed； that the one put out his hand： and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread； saying； This came out first。
38：29随后这孩子把手收回去，他哥哥生出来了。收生婆说，你为什么抢着来呢，因此给他起名叫法勒斯。
And it came to pass； as he drew back his hand； that； behold； his brother came out： and she said； How hast thou broken forth？ this breach be upon thee： therefore his name was called Pharez。
38：30后来，他兄弟那手上有红线的也生出来，就给他起名叫谢拉。
And afterward came out his brother； that had the scarlet thread upon his hand： and his name was called Zarah。

39：1约瑟被带下埃及去。有一个埃及人，是法老的内臣，护卫长波提乏，从那些带下他来的以实玛利人手下买了他去。
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。
39：2约瑟住在他主人埃及人的家中，耶和华与他同在，他就百事顺利。
And the LORD was with Joseph； and he was a prosperous man； and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian。
39：3他主人见耶和华与他同在，又见耶和华使他手里所办的尽都顺利，
And his master saw that the LORD was with him； and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand。
39：4约瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩，伺候他主人，并且主人派他管理家务，把一切所有的都交在他手里。
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。
39：5自从主人派约瑟管理家务和他一切所有的，耶和华就因约瑟的缘故赐福与那埃及人的家。凡家里和田间一切所有的都蒙耶和华赐福。
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。
39：6波提乏将一切所有的都交在约瑟的手中，除了自己所吃的饭，别的事一概不知。约瑟原来秀雅俊美。
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。
39：7这事以后，约瑟主人的妻以目送情给约瑟，说，你与我同寝吧。
And it came to pass after these things； that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph； and she said； Lie with me。
39：8约瑟不从，对他主人的妻说，看哪，一切家务，我主人都不知道。他把所有的都交在我手里。
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 mitted all that he hath to my hand；
39：9在这家里没有比我大的。并且他没有留下一样不交给我，只留下了你，因为你是他的妻子。我怎能作这大恶，得罪神呢，
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？
39：10后来她天天和约瑟说，约瑟却不听从她，不与她同寝，也不和她在一处。
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。
39：11有一天，约瑟进屋里去办事，家中人没有一个在那屋里，
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。
39：12妇人就拉住他的衣裳，说，你与我同寝吧。约瑟把衣裳丢在妇人手里，跑到外边去了。
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。
39：13妇人看见约瑟把衣裳丢在她手里跑出去了，
And it came to pass； when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand； and was fled forth；
39：14就叫了家里的人来，对他们说，你们看。他带了一个希伯来人进入我们家里，要戏弄我们。他到我这里来，要与我同寝，我就大声喊叫。
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：
39：15他听见我放声喊起来，就把衣裳丢在我这里，跑到外边去了。
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。
39：16妇人把约瑟的衣裳放在自己那里，等着他主人回家，
And she laid up his garment by her； until his lord came home。
39：17就对他如此如此说，你所带到我们这里的那希伯来仆人进来要戏弄我，
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：
39：18我放声喊起来，他就把衣裳丢在我这里，跑出去了。
And it came to pass； as I lifted up my voice and cried； that he left his garment with me； and fled out。
39：19约瑟的主人听见他妻子对他所说的话，说，你的仆人如此如此待我，他就生气，
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。
39：20把约瑟下在监里，就是王的囚犯被囚的地方。于是约瑟在那里坐监。
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。
39：21但耶和华与约瑟同在，向他施恩，使他在司狱的眼前蒙恩。
But the LORD was with Joseph； and shewed him mercy； and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison。
39：22司狱就把监里所有的囚犯都交在约瑟手下。他们在那里所办的事都是经他的手。
And the keeper of the prison mitted to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison； and whatsoever they did there； he was the doer of it。
39：23凡在约瑟手下的事，司狱一概不察，因为耶和华与约瑟同在。耶和华使他所作的尽都顺利。
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。

40：1这事以后，埃及王的酒政和膳长得罪了他们的主埃及王，
And it came to pass after these things； that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt。
40：2法老就恼怒酒政和膳长这二臣，
And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers； against the chief of the butlers； and against the chief of the bakers。
40：3把他们下在护卫长府内的监里，就是约瑟被囚的地方。
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard； into the prison； the place where Joseph was bound。
40：4护卫长把他们交给约瑟，约瑟便伺候他们。他们有些日子在监里。
And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them； and he served them： and they continued a season in ward。
40：5被囚在监之埃及王的酒政和膳长二人同夜各作一梦，各梦都有讲解。
And they dreamed a dream both of them； each man his dream in one night； each man according to the interpretation of his dream； the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt； which were bound in the prison。
40：6到了早晨，约瑟进到他们那里，见他们有愁闷的样子。
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning； and looked upon them； and； behold； they were sad。
40：7他便问法老的二臣，就是与他同囚在他主人府里的，说，他们今日为什么面带愁容呢，
And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house； saying； Wherefore look ye so sadly to day？
40：8他们对他说，我们各人作了一梦，没有人能解。约瑟说，解梦不是出于神吗。请你们将梦告诉我。
And they said unto him； We have dreamed a dream； and there is no interpreter of it。 And
