Gênesis 39
1 E José foi levado ao Egypto, e Potifar, eunucho de Pharaó, capitão da guarda, varão egypcio, comprou-o da mão dos ishmaelitas que o tinham levado lá.
Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2 E o Senhor estava com José, e foi varão prospero; e estava na casa de seu senhor egypcio.
The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Vendo pois o seu senhor que o Senhor estava com elle, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava em sua mão,
His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 José achou graça em seus olhos, e servia-o; e elle o poz sobre a sua casa, e entregou na sua mão tudo o que tinha.
Joseph found favour in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 E aconteceu que, desde que o puzera sobre a sua casa, e sobre tudo o que tinha, o Senhor abençoou a casa do egypcio por amor de José; e a benção do Senhor foi sobre tudo o que tinha, na casa e no campo.
From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6 E deixou tudo o que tinha na mão de José, de maneira que de nada sabia do que estava com elle, mais do que do pão que comia. E José era formoso de parecer, e formoso á vista.
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 E aconteceu depois d'estas coisas que a mulher de seu senhor poz os seus olhos em José, e disse: Deita-te commigo.
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 Porém elle recusou, e disse á mulher do seu senhor: Eis que o meu senhor não sabe do que ha em casa commigo, e entregou em minha mão tudo o que tem
But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9 Ninguem ha maior do que eu n'esta casa, e nenhuma coisa me vedou, senão a ti, porquanto tu és sua mulher; como pois faria eu este tamanho mal, e peccaria contra Deus?
No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
10 E aconteceu que, fallando ella cada dia a José, e não lhe dando elle ouvidos, para deitar-se com ella, e estar com ella,
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 Succedeu n'um certo dia que veiu á casa para fazer seu serviço; e nenhum dos da casa estava ali em casa;
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12 E ella lhe pegou pelo seu vestido, dizendo: Deita-te commigo. E elle deixou o seu vestido na mão d'ella, e fugiu, e saiu para fóra.
She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 E aconteceu que, vendo ella que deixara o seu vestido em sua mão, e fugira para fóra,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 Chamou aos homens de sua casa, e fallou-lhes, dizendo: Vêde, trouxe-nos o varão hebreu, para escarnecer de nós; entrou a mim para deitar-se commigo, e eu gritei com grande voz,
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 E aconteceu que, ouvindo elle que eu levantava a minha voz e gritava, deixou o seu vestido commigo, e fugiu, e saiu para fóra.
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 E ella poz o seu vestido perto de si, até que o seu senhor veiu á sua casa.
She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 Então fallou-lhe conforme as mesmas palavras, dizendo: Veiu a mim o servo hebreo, que nos trouxeste para escarnecer de nim;
She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18 E aconteceu que, levantando eu a minha voz e gritando, elle deixou o seu vestido commigo, e fugiu para fóra.
and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 E aconteceu que, ouvindo o seu senhor as palavras de sua mulher, que lhe fallava, dizendo: Conforme a estas mesmas palavras me fez teu servo; a sua ira se accendeu.
When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
20 E o senhor de José o tomou, e o entregou na casa do carcere, no logar onde os presos do rei estavam presos; assim esteve ali na casa do carcere.
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 custody.
21 O Senhor, porém, estava com José, e estendeu sobre elle a sua benignidade, e deu-lhe graça aos olhos do carcereiro-mór.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 E o carcereiro-mór entregou na mão de José todos os presos que estavam na casa do carcere, e elle fazia tudo o que se fazia ali.
The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
23 E o carcereiro-mór não teve cuidado de nenhuma coisa que estava na mão d'elle; porquanto o Senhor estava com elle, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava.
The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
