Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither.
José fue llevado a Egipto. Potifar, un oficial del Faraón, el capitán de la guardia, un egipcio, lo compró de la mano de los ismaelitas que lo habían hecho descender.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
El Señor estaba con José, y éste era un hombre próspero. Estaba en la casa de su amo el egipcio.
3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Su amo vio que Yahvé estaba con él, y que Yahvé hacía prosperar en su mano todo lo que hacía.
4 And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
José halló gracia ante sus ojos. Le sirvió, y Potifar lo nombró supervisor de su casa, y todo lo que tenía lo puso en sus manos.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he appointed 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.
Desde el momento en que lo nombró supervisor de su casa y de todo lo que tenía, Yahvé bendijo la casa del egipcio por causa de José. La bendición del Señor recayó sobre todo lo que tenía, en la casa y en el campo.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and, having him, he knew not aught save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was of beautiful form, and fair to look upon.
Dejó todo lo que tenía en manos de José. No se preocupó por nada, excepto por la comida que comía. José era bien parecido y guapo.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said: 'Lie with me.'
Después de esto, la mujer de su amo puso sus ojos en José y le dijo: “Acuéstate conmigo”.
8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife: 'Behold, my master, having me, knoweth not what is in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand;
Pero él se negó y dijo a la mujer de su amo: “He aquí que mi amo no sabe lo que hay conmigo en la casa, y ha puesto en mi mano todo lo que tiene.
9 he is not 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?'
Nadie es mayor que yo en esta casa, y no me ha ocultado nada más que a ti, porque eres su mujer. ¿Cómo, pues, puedo hacer esta gran maldad, y pecar contra Dios?”
10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
Mientras ella le hablaba a José cada día, él no la escuchaba, ni se acostaba junto a ella, ni estaba con ella.
11 And it came to pass on a certain day, when he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there within,
Por aquel entonces, él entró en la casa para hacer su trabajo, y no había ninguno de los hombres de la casa dentro.
12 that she caught him by his garment, saying: 'Lie with me.' And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
Ella lo agarró por el manto, diciendo: “Acuéstate conmigo”. Él dejó su manto en la mano de ella y salió corriendo.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
Cuando ella vio que él había dejado su manto en la mano de ella, y había corrido afuera,
14 that she called unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying: 'See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
llamó a los hombres de su casa, y les habló diciendo: “He aquí, él ha traído a un hebreo para burlarse de nosotros. Entró en mi casa para acostarse conmigo, y yo grité con fuerza.
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out.'
Cuando oyó que yo levantaba la voz y gritaba, dejó su manto junto a mí y salió corriendo.”
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
Ella dejó su ropa junto a ella, hasta que su amo volvió a casa.
17 And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying: 'The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me.
Ella le habló según estas palabras, diciendo: “El siervo hebreo que nos has traído, entró a burlarse de mí,
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.'
y al levantar mi voz y gritar, dejó su ropa junto a mí y salió corriendo.”
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying: 'After this manner did thy servant to me'; that his wrath was kindled.
Cuando su amo oyó las palabras de su mujer, que le dijo: “Esto es lo que me hizo tu siervo”, se encendió su ira.
20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound; and he was there in the prison.
El amo de José lo apresó y lo metió en la cárcel, el lugar donde estaban atados los prisioneros del rey, y allí estuvo detenido.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Pero el Señor estaba con José, y se mostró bondadoso con él, y le dio favor a los ojos del guardián de la prisión.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
El guardián de la cárcel puso en manos de José a todos los presos que estaban en la cárcel. Todo lo que hicieran allí, él era responsable de ello.
23 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.
El guardián de la cárcel no se ocupaba de nada de lo que estaba bajo su mano, porque el Señor estaba con él; y lo que él hacía, el Señor lo hacía prosperar.
