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.
José fue llevado a Egipto. Potifar, un oficial del Faraón, el capitán de la guardia, un egipcio, lo compró de la mano de los ismaelitas que lo habían hecho descender.
2 And YHWH was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
El Señor estaba con José, y éste era un hombre próspero. Estaba en la casa de su amo el egipcio.
3 And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
Su amo vio que Yahvé estaba con él, y que Yahvé hacía prosperar en su mano todo lo que hacía.
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.
José halló gracia ante sus ojos. Le sirvió, y Potifar lo nombró supervisor de su casa, y todo lo que tenía lo puso en sus manos.
5 And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that YHWH blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of YHWH was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
Desde el momento en que lo nombró supervisor de su casa y de todo lo que tenía, Yahvé bendijo la casa del egipcio por causa de José. La bendición del Señor recayó sobre todo lo que tenía, en la casa y en el 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.
Dejó todo lo que tenía en manos de José. No se preocupó por nada, excepto por la comida que comía. José era bien parecido y guapo.
7 And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me."
Después de esto, la mujer de su amo puso sus ojos en José y le dijo: “Acuéstate conmigo”.
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.
Pero él se negó y dijo a la mujer de su amo: “He aquí que mi amo no sabe lo que hay conmigo en la casa, y ha puesto en mi mano todo lo que tiene.
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?"
Nadie es mayor que yo en esta casa, y no me ha ocultado nada más que a ti, porque eres su mujer. ¿Cómo, pues, puedo hacer esta gran maldad, y pecar contra Dios?”
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.
Mientras ella le hablaba a José cada día, él no la escuchaba, ni se acostaba junto a ella, ni estaba con ella.
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.
Por aquel entonces, él entró en la casa para hacer su trabajo, y no había ninguno de los hombres de la casa dentro.
12 She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
Ella lo agarró por el manto, diciendo: “Acuéstate conmigo”. Él dejó su manto en la mano de ella y salió corriendo.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
Cuando ella vio que él había dejado su manto en la mano de ella, y había corrido afuera,
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.
llamó a los hombres de su casa, y les habló diciendo: “He aquí, él ha traído a un hebreo para burlarse de nosotros. Entró en mi casa para acostarse conmigo, y yo grité con fuerza.
15 It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
Cuando oyó que yo levantaba la voz y gritaba, dejó su manto junto a mí y salió corriendo.”
16 She left his garment by her, until his master came home.
Ella dejó su ropa junto a ella, hasta que su amo volvió a 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.'
Ella le habló según estas palabras, diciendo: “El siervo hebreo que nos has traído, entró a burlarse de mí,
18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
y al levantar mi voz y gritar, dejó su ropa junto a mí y salió corriendo.”
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.
Cuando su amo oyó las palabras de su mujer, que le dijo: “Esto es lo que me hizo tu siervo”, se encendió su ira.
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.
El amo de José lo apresó y lo metió en la cárcel, el lugar donde estaban atados los prisioneros del rey, y allí estuvo detenido.
21 But YHWH was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Pero el Señor estaba con José, y se mostró bondadoso con él, y le dio favor a los ojos del guardián de la prisión.
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.
El guardián de la cárcel puso en manos de José a todos los presos que estaban en la cárcel. Todo lo que hicieran allí, él era responsable de ello.
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.
El guardián de la cárcel no se ocupaba de nada de lo que estaba bajo su mano, porque el Señor estaba con él; y lo que él hacía, el Señor lo hacía prosperar.
