어딜가나 운이 좋은 요셉 라이프(창세기 39장)

창세기 39장은 이집트로 팔려간 요셉의 좌충우돌 적응기입니다. 애굽의 친위대장 보디발의 총애를 받아서 비교적 편하게 지내려고 하니 그의 아내가 요셉을 노리다 실패하니 음해하여 감옥에 갇히고 감옥에 갇혔지만 관리인들이 요셉에게 호의를 보여 요셉은 어딜 가나 운이 좋은 사나이였던 걸로. 

 

 

 

 

 

이집트에서 성공한 요셉

 

1. Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.

2. The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master.

3. His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands.

4. So Joseph found favour in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.

5. From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had, in house and field.

6. So he left all that he had in Joseph's charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

 

 

 

overseer: 감독관, 지배관.

 

이집트로 팔려간 요셉은 애굽의 친위대장 보디발이 그를 샀고 요셉은 일을 잘해 그의 총애를 받게 됩니다. 그래서 그는 요셉에게 모든 것을 맡기기에 이르릅니다.

 

 

 

 주인의 아내가 요셉 유혹을 시전

 

7. And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, "Lie with me."

8. But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge.

9. He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?"

10. And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.

 

주인의 아내는 밤마다 요셉을 유혹하지만 요셉은 절대로 유혹에 넘어가지 않고 버텨냅니다.

 

 

 주인마님의 끊임없는 유혹질

 

 

 

11. But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house, 

12. she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me." But the left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house.

13. And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house,

14. she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.

15. And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house."

16. Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home, 

17. and she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to laugh at me.

18. But as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment beside me and fled out of the house."

 

요셉의 주인은 집안의 모든 것을 허락했고 주인의 아내는 끊임없이 요셉을 유혹하였지만 주인집 아내의 유혹에는 절대 말려들지 않았습니다. 하루는 집안에 아무도 없자 주인마님이 요셉의 방에 들어와 요셉의 옷을 잡으며 동침하자고 유혹했고 요셉은 옷을 내팽개치고 나옵니다.  그러자 웬걸 주인마님은 거꾸로 요셉이 자신을 겁탈하려고 했다고 미투를 시전 합니다.

 

 

 

 어디에 있든지 운이 좋은 요셉

 

19. As soon as his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, "This is the way your servant treated me", his anger was kindled.

20. And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.

21. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

22. And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it.

23. The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph's charge, because the Lord was with him. And whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed.

 

confined: 갇힌, 외출이 금지된.

steadfast: 고정된, 흔들리지 않는, 확고한, 확립된.

 

 

주인마님이 요셉을 마음대로 하지 못하자 주인마님은 오히려 요셉을 음해하였고 주인은 그를 감옥에 가두고 맙니다. 감옥에 갇혀도 주님과 함께 한 요셉은 무슨 복인지 관리인들이 요셉에게 호의를 베풀었던 모양입니다. 왜 그런 사람 있잖아요. 어딜 가나 사랑받고 인정받고 운이 좋은 그런 사람. 요셉이 딱 그런 유형이었나 봅니다.
