Genesis 39

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.

Y descendido José a Egipto, compróle Potifar, eunuco de Faraón, capitán de los de la guardia, varón Egipciano, de mano de los Ismaelitas, que le habían llevado allá.

2 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

Mas Jehová fue con José, y fue varón prosperado: y estaba en la casa de su señor el Egipciano.

3 And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

Y vio su señor que Jehová era con él, y que todo lo que él hacía, Jehová lo prosperaba en su mano.

4 And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.

Así halló José gracia en sus ojos, y servíale: y él le hizo mayordomo de su casa, y le entregó en poder todo lo que tenía.

5 And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.

Y aconteció, que desde entonces que le dio el cargo de su casa, y de todo lo que tenía, Jehová bendijo la casa del Egipciano a causa de José, y fue la bendición de Jehová sobre todo lo que tenía así en casa como en el campo.

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.

Y dejó todo lo que tenía en la mano de José, ni con él sabía nada más que del pan que comía: y José era de hermoso semblante, y bello de vista.

7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!

Y aconteció después de esto, que la mujer de su señor alzó sus ojos sobre José, y dijo: Duerme conmigo.

8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.

Y él no quiso; y dijo a la mujer de su señor: He aquí que mi señor no sabe conmigo lo que hay en casa, que todo lo que tiene ha puesto en mi mano.

9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

No hay otro mayor que yo en esta casa, y ninguna cosa me ha defendido sino a ti, por cuanto tú eres su mujer: ¿cómo pues haría yo este grande mal, que pecaría contra Dios?

10 And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,

Y fue, que hablando ella a José cada día, y no la escuchando él para acostarse junto a ella, para estar con ella:

11 that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.

Aconteció que él vino un día como los otros a casa para hacer su oficio, y no había nadie de los de casa allí en casa.

12 Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.

Y ella le tomó por su ropa, diciendo: Duerme conmigo. Entonces él dejóle su ropa en las manos, y huyó, y salióse fuera.

13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,

Y fue, que como ella vio que le había dejado su ropa en sus manos, y había huido fuera.

14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;

Llamó a los de casa, y hablóles, diciendo: Mirád; hános traído un hombre Hebreo, para que hiciese burla de nosotros. Vino a mí para dormir conmigo, y yo di grandes voces.

15 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 went out.

Y viendo él, que yo alzaba la voz, y gritaba, dejó junto a mí su ropa, y huyó, y salióse fuera.

16 And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.

Y ella puso su ropa cerca de sí, hasta que vino su señor a su casa:

17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;

Y ella le habló semejantes palabras, diciendo: Vino a mí el siervo Hebreo, que nos trajiste, para deshonrarme:

18 and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.

Y como yo alcé mi voz y grité, él dejó su ropa junto a mí, y huyó fuera.

19 And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.

Y fue, que como su señor oyó las palabras que su mujer le habló, diciendo: Como esto, que digo, me ha hecho tu siervo, su furor se encendió,

20 And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.

Y tomó su señor a José, y púsole en la casa de la cárcel, donde estaban los presos del rey, y estuvo allí en la casa de la cárcel.

21 And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.

Mas Jehová fue con José, y llegó a él su misericordia, y dio su gracia en ojos del príncipe de la casa de la cárcel.

22 And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.

Y el príncipe de la casa de la cárcel entregó en mano de José todos los presos, que estaban en la casa de la cárcel, y todo lo que hacían allí, él lo hacía.

23 The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.

Ninguna cosa veía el príncipe de la cárcel en su mano, porque Jehová era con él: y lo que él hacía, Jehová lo prosperaba.
