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.
Ahora José fue llevado a Egipto; y Potifar el egipcio, un capitán de alto rango en la casa de Faraón, lo obtuvo por un precio de los ismaelitas que lo habían llevado allí.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
Y el Señor estaba con José, que llegó a ser un hombre próspero; y él estaba viviendo en la casa de su amo, 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 su amo vio que el Señor estaba con él, haciendo que todo lo que él hacía iba bien.
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.
y teniendo una gran opinión de José como su siervo, lo hizo el supervisor de su casa y le dio el control de 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 desde el momento en que lo hizo mayordomo y le dio el control de todas sus propiedades, la bendición del Señor fue con el egipcio, por causa de José; la bendición del Señor estaba en todo lo que tenía, en la casa y 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 dio a José el control de toda su propiedad, sin guardar cuenta de nada, sino solo de la comida que se le presentó. Ahora José era muy hermoso en forma y rostro.
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 después de un tiempo, la esposa de su amo, mirando a José con deseo, le dijo: Sé mi amante.
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:
Pero él no quiso, y le dijo: Tú ves que mi señor no tiene que preocuparse de lo que yo hago en su casa, y pone todas sus propiedades bajo mi control;
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?
para que nadie tenga más autoridad en esta casa que yo; no me ha ocultado nada más que a ti, porque eres su esposa; ¿Cómo puedo hacer este gran error, y pecar 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 día tras día ella siguió pidiéndole a José que viniera a ella y fuera su amante, pero él no la escucharía.
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.
Un día entró en la casa para hacer su trabajo; y ninguno de los hombres de la casa estaba adentro.
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 tomando su manto, dijo: Ven a mi cama; pero dejando su manto, se fue corriendo.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone forth,
Y cuando ella vio que él había escapado, dejándola su manto en sus manos,
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.
y mandó llamar a los hombres de su casa, y les dijo: Mira, él ha permitido que un hebreo venga aquí y se burle de nosotros; él vino a mi cama y yo di un fuerte grito;
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 oyéndome gritar, salió sin su manto.
16 So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
Y ella guardó su manto junto a ella, hasta que regresó su señor.
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 ella le contó la misma historia, diciendo: El siervo hebreo que has tomado en nuestra casa entró 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 di un fuerte grito, salió corriendo sin su manto.
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 oyendo el relato de su mujer acerca de lo que había hecho su siervo, se enojó mucho.
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.
Entonces el señor de José lo tomó y lo puso en la cárcel, en el lugar donde los prisioneros del rey estaban encadenados, y él estaba allí en la prisión.
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.
Pero el Señor estaba con José, y fue bueno con él, y le dio favor en los ojos del jefe 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 guardián de la prisión puso a todos los presos bajo el control de José, y él era responsable de todo lo que allí se 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.
Y el guardián de la prisión no tenía que preocuparse de nada de lo que estaba bajo el cuidado de José, porque el Señor estaba con él; y el Señor hizo que todo lo que hiciera saliera bien.
