< Genesis 39 >

1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
E José foi levado ao Egypto, e Potifar, eunucho de Pharaó, capitão da guarda, varão egypcio, comprou-o da mão dos ishmaelitas que o tinham levado lá.
2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
E o Senhor estava com José, e foi varão prospero; e estava na casa de seu senhor egypcio.
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.
Vendo pois o seu senhor que o Senhor estava com elle, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava em sua mão,
4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
José achou graça em seus olhos, e servia-o; e elle o poz sobre a sua casa, e entregou na sua mão tudo o que tinha.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made 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 on all that he had in the house, and in the field.
E aconteceu que, desde que o puzera sobre a sua casa, e sobre tudo o que tinha, o Senhor abençoou a casa do egypcio por amor de José; e a benção do Senhor foi sobre tudo o que tinha, na casa e no campo.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not anything he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored.
E deixou tudo o que tinha na mão de José, de maneira que de nada sabia do que estava com elle, mais do que do pão que comia. E José era formoso de parecer, e formoso á vista.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
E aconteceu depois d'estas coisas que a mulher de seu senhor poz os seus olhos em José, e disse: Deita-te commigo.
8 But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand;
Porém elle recusou, e disse á mulher do seu senhor: Eis que o meu senhor não sabe do que ha em casa commigo, e entregou em minha mão tudo o que tem
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back any thing from me but you, because you are his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Ninguem ha maior do que eu n'esta casa, e nenhuma coisa me vedou, senão a ti, porquanto tu és sua mulher; como pois faria eu este tamanho mal, e peccaria contra Deus?
10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he listened not to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
E aconteceu que, fallando ella cada dia a José, e não lhe dando elle ouvidos, para deitar-se com ella, e estar com ella,
11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
Succedeu n'um certo dia que veiu á casa para fazer seu serviço; e nenhum dos da casa estava ali em casa;
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
E ella lhe pegou pelo seu vestido, dizendo: Deita-te commigo. E elle deixou o seu vestido na mão d'ella, e fugiu, e saiu para fóra.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
E aconteceu que, vendo ella que deixara o seu vestido em sua mão, e fugira para fóra,
14 That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in an Hebrew to us to mock us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
Chamou aos homens de sua casa, e fallou-lhes, dizendo: Vêde, trouxe-nos o varão hebreu, para escarnecer de nós; entrou a mim para deitar-se commigo, e eu gritei com grande voz,
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 got him out.
E aconteceu que, ouvindo elle que eu levantava a minha voz e gritava, deixou o seu vestido commigo, e fugiu, e saiu para fóra.
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
E ella poz o seu vestido perto de si, até que o seu senhor veiu á sua casa.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me:
Então fallou-lhe conforme as mesmas palavras, dizendo: Veiu a mim o servo hebreo, que nos trouxeste para escarnecer de nim;
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
E aconteceu que, levantando eu a minha voz e gritando, elle deixou o seu vestido commigo, e fugiu para fóra.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did your servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
E aconteceu que, ouvindo o seu senhor as palavras de sua mulher, que lhe fallava, dizendo: Conforme a estas mesmas palavras me fez teu servo; a sua ira se accendeu.
20 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
E o senhor de José o tomou, e o entregou na casa do carcere, no logar onde os presos do rei estavam presos; assim esteve ali na casa do carcere.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
O Senhor, porém, estava com José, e estendeu sobre elle a sua benignidade, e deu-lhe graça aos olhos do carcereiro-mór.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.
E o carcereiro-mór entregou na mão de José todos os presos que estavam na casa do carcere, e elle fazia tudo o que se fazia ali.
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.
E o carcereiro-mór não teve cuidado de nenhuma coisa que estava na mão d'elle; porquanto o Senhor estava com elle, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava.
