Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַתִּקְרָ֞א לְאַנְשֵׁ֣י בֵיתָ֗הּ
and=she/it_called/named to,men household,her
See how you translated “men of the house” in verse 11. Alternate translation: “she called out for the other household menservants to come to her” or “she summoned the other menservants of her household to come”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
וַתֹּ֤אמֶר לָהֶם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר
and=she/it_said to/for=them to=say
Alternate translation: “Then when they came, she exclaimed to them,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
רְא֗וּ
look
As Potiphar’s wife speaks, she is probably showing the servants Joseph’s garment in her hands. Alternate translation: “Look at this!” or “See what happened!”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
הֵ֥בִיא לָ֛נוּ אִ֥ישׁ עִבְרִ֖י
he/it_brought to/for=us (a)_man Hebrew
Make sure that your translation of He brought refers here to Potiphar (as verse 17 confirms), not Joseph. Alternate translation: “My husband brought this Hebrew slave here to us”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
לְצַ֣חֶק בָּ֑נוּ
to,make_sport in/on/at/with,us
In this context, us is general and includes Potiphar’s wife and the people she is talking to. Alternate translation: “to mock us!”
בָּ֤א אֵלַי֙
he/it_came to=me
Make sure your translation of He came refers here to Joseph, not Potiphar (who was the subject of the previous sentence in the Hebrew text). Alternate translation: “That man came here to me”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לִשְׁכַּ֣ב עִמִּ֔י
to,lie with,me
Consider again how you translated the idiom lie with in the book of Genesis. See Gen 19:32-35; 26:10; 30:15-16; 34:2, 7; 35:22; 39:7, 10, 12, 14. It may be necessary to translate this in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “to force me to lie with him,”
וָאֶקְרָ֖א בְּק֥וֹל גָּדֽוֹל
and,screamed in/on/at/with,voice big/great
Alternate translation: “but I cried out for help!” or “but I shouted loudly for help!”
39:14 Though Potiphar’s wife was addressing slaves, she appealed to them as fellow Egyptians (us) to enlist them as witnesses against the despised Hebrew (see 43:32) who had won Potiphar’s trust.
OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_called/named to_men household_her and_she/it_said to/for_them to_say see he_has_brought to/for_us a_man a_Hebrew to_make_sport in/on/at/with_us he_came to_me to_lie with_me and_screamed in/on/at/with_voice great.
OET (OET-RV) she yelled for the other male slaves and told them, “Look, he brought a Hebrew here man to mock at us. He tried to get me onto the bed, but I yelled out loudly.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
