Genesis 39
1 Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
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 became a successful man. And he was in the household 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 God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
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 So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.
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 about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD was on 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 So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
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 took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep 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 to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.
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 no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, 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 although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with 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 Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
Aconteceu que entrou ele um dia em casa para fazer seu ofício, e não havia ninguém dos da casa ali em casa.
12 She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
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 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
E aconteceu que quando viu ela que lhe havia deixado sua roupa em suas mãos, e havia fugido fora,
14 she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep 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 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
E vendo que eu erguia a voz e gritava, deixou junto a mim sua roupa, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.
E ela pôs junto a si a roupa dele, até que veio seu senhor à sua casa.
17 And she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'
Então lhe falou ela semelhantes palavras, dizendo: O servo hebreu que nos trouxeste, veio a mim para desonrar-me;
18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
E quando eu levantei minha voz e gritei, ele deixou sua roupa junto a mim, e fugiu fora.
19 And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.
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 Then 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 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 God was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor 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 The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.
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 paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
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.
