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.

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 the LORD 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 the LORD was with him, and that the LORD 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 sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put 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 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.

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, having him, he knew not aught save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was of beautiful form, and fair to look upon.

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 upon Joseph; and she 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 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;

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 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?'

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, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or 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 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,

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 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.

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 was 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 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 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 by me, and fled, and got him 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 up his garment by her, until his master came home.

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

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 by me, and fled out.'

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 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.

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 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.

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 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

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 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.

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 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.

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