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 levado José ao Egito, comprou-o Potifar, oficial de Faraó, capitão dos da guarda, homem egípcio, da mão dos ismaelitas que o haviam levado ali.
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 o SENHOR foi com José, e foi homem próspero: e estava na casa de seu senhor o egípcio.
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.
E viu seu senhor que o SENHOR era com ele, e que tudo o que ele fazia, o SENHOR o fazia prosperar 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.
Assim achou José favor em seus olhos, e servia-lhe; e ele lhe fez mordomo de sua casa, e entregou em seu poder 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 upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
E aconteceu que, desde quando lhe deu o encargo de sua casa, e de tudo o que tinha, o SENHOR abençoou a casa do egípcio por causa de José; e a bênção do SENHOR foi sobre tudo o que tinha, tanto em casa como no campo.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
E deixou tudo o que tinha em mão de José; nem com ele sabia de nada mais que do pão que comia. E era José de belo semblante e bela presença.
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.
E aconteceu depois disto, que a mulher de seu senhor pôs seus olhos em José, e disse: Dorme comigo.
8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
E ele não quis, e disse à mulher de seu senhor: Eis que meu senhor não sabe comigo o que há em casa, e pôs em minha mão tudo o que tem:
9 There is none 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?
Não há outro maior que eu nesta casa, e nenhuma coisa me há reservado a não ser a ti, porquanto tu és sua mulher; como, pois, faria eu este grande mal e pecaria contra Deus?
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
E foi que falando ela a José cada dia, e não escutando-a ele para deitar-se ao lado dela, para estar com ela.
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.
Aconteceu que entrou ele um dia em casa para fazer seu ofício, e não havia ninguém dos da casa 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 pegou-o ela por sua roupa, dizendo: Dorme comigo. Então ele deixou sua roupa nas mãos dela, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
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 quando viu ela que lhe havia deixado sua roupa em suas mãos, e havia fugido fora,
14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
Chamou aos de casa, e falou-lhes dizendo: Olhai que ele nos trouxe um hebreu, para que fizesse zombaria de nós: veio ele a mim para dormir comigo, e eu dei grandes vozes;
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 vendo que eu erguia a voz e gritava, deixou junto a mim sua roupa, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
E ela pôs junto a si a roupa dele, até que veio seu senhor à sua casa.
17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
Então lhe falou ela semelhantes palavras, dizendo: O servo hebreu que nos trouxeste, veio a mim para desonrar-me;
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 quando eu levantei minha voz e gritei, ele deixou sua roupa junto a mim, e fugiu fora.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
E sucedeu que quando ouviu seu senhor as palavras que sua mulher lhe falara, dizendo: Assim me tratou teu servo; acendeu-se seu furor.
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 tomou seu senhor a José, e pôs-lhe na casa do cárcere, onde estavam os presos do rei, e esteve ali na casa do cárcere.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Mas o SENHOR foi com José, e estendeu a ele sua misericórdia, e deu-lhe favor aos olhos do chefe da casa do cárcere.
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.
E o chefe da casa do cárcere entregou em mão de José todos os presos que havia naquela prisão; tudo o que faziam ali, ele o fazia.
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.
Não via o chefe do cárcere coisa alguma que em sua mão estava; porque o SENHOR era com ele, e o que ele fazia, o SENHOR o fazia prosperar.
