Genesis 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who brought him down there.
Y descendido José a Egipto, lo compró Potifar, oficial del Faraón, capitán de los de la guardia, varón egipcio, de mano de los ismaelitas que lo habían llevado allá.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
Mas el SEÑOR fue con José, y fue varón prosperado; y estaba en la casa de su señor el egipcio.
3 And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
Y vio su señor que el SEÑOR era con él, y que todo lo que él hacía, el SEÑOR lo hacía prosperar en su mano.
4 And Joseph found grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
Así halló José gracia en sus ojos, y le servía; y él le hizo mayordomo de su casa, y entregó en su poder todo lo que tenía.
5 And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field.
Y aconteció que, desde cuando le dio el encargo de su casa, y de todo lo que tenía, el SEÑOR bendijo la casa del egipcio a causa de José; y la bendición del SEÑOR fue sobre todo lo que tenía, así en casa como en el campo.
6 And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
Y dejó todo lo que tenía en la mano de José; ni con él sabía de nada más que del pan que comía. Y era José de hermoso semblante y bella presencia.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon 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 would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
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, y ha puesto en mi mano todo lo que tiene.
9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God?
No hay otro mayor que yo en esta casa, y ninguna cosa me ha reservado sino a ti, por cuanto tú eres su mujer, ¿cómo, pues, haría yo este grande mal y pecaría contra Dios?
10 And when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as to be with her,
Y fue que hablando ella a José cada día, y no escuchándola él para acostarse al lado de ella, para estar con ella.
11 it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
Aconteció que entró él un día en casa para hacer su oficio, y no había nadie de los de casa allí en casa.
12 And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
Y ella lo asió por su ropa, diciendo: Duerme conmigo. Entonces él dejó su ropa en manos de ella, y huyó, y se salió fuera.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
Y acaeció que cuando vio ella que le había dejado su ropa en sus manos, y había huido fuera,
14 that she called those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
llamó a los de casa, y les habló diciendo: Mirad, nos ha traído un hebreo, para que hiciese burla de nosotros; vino él a mí para dormir conmigo, y yo di grandes voces;
15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
y viendo que yo alzaba la voz y gritaba, dejó junto a mí su ropa, y huyó, y salió.
16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
Y ella puso junto a sí la ropa de él, hasta que vino su señor a su casa.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
Entonces le habló ella semejantes palabras, diciendo: El siervo hebreo que nos trajiste, vino a mí para deshonrarme;
18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
y cuando yo alcé mi voz y grite, él dejó su ropa junto a mí, y huyó fuera.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
Y sucedió que cuando oyó su señor las palabras que su mujer le hablara, diciendo: Así me ha tratado tu siervo; se encendió su furor.
20 And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison.
Y tomó su señor a José, y le puso en la casa de la cárcel, donde estaban los presos del rey, y estuvo allí en la casa de la cárcel.
21 And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favor in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison.
Mas el SEÑOR fue con José, y extendió a él su misericordia, y le dio gracia en ojos del príncipe de la casa de la cárcel.
22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.
Y el príncipe de la casa de la cárcel entregó en mano de José todos los presos que había en aquella prisión; todo lo que hacían allí, él lo hacía.
23 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
No veía el príncipe de la cárcel cosa alguna que en su mano estaba; porque el SEÑOR era con él, y lo que él hacía, el SEÑOR lo prosperaba.
