Gênesis 39
1 E José foi levado ao Egito, e Potifar, eunuco de faraó, capitão da guarda, varão egípcio, comprou-o da mão dos ishmaelitas que o tinham levado lá.
Meanwhile, Joseph was led into Egypt. And Putiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, a leader of the army, an Egyptian man, purchased him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, by whom he was brought.
2 E o Senhor estava com José, e foi varão próspero; e estava na casa de seu senhor egípcio.
And the Lord was with him, and he was a man who prospered in everything that he did. And he lived in the house of his lord,
3 Vendo pois o seu senhor que o Senhor estava com ele, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava em sua mão,
who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and that all the things that were done by him were directed by his hand.
4 José achou graça em seus olhos, e servia-o; e ele o pôs sobre a sua casa, e entregou na sua mão tudo o que tinha.
And Joseph found favor in the sight of his lord, and he ministered to him. And, having been placed in charge of everything by him, he governed the house that was entrusted to him and all the things that had been delivered to him.
5 E aconteceu que, desde que o pusera sobre a sua casa, e sobre tudo o que tinha, o Senhor abençoou a casa do egípcio por amor de José; e a benção do Senhor foi sobre tudo o que tinha, na casa e no campo.
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian, because of Joseph, and he multiplied all his substance, as much in the buildings, as in the fields.
6 E deixou tudo o que tinha na mão de José, de maneira que de nada sabia do que estava com ele, mais do que do pão que comia. E José era formoso de parecer, e formoso à vista.
Neither did he know anything other than the bread that he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form, and stately in appearance.
7 E aconteceu depois destas coisas que a mulher de seu senhor pôs os seus olhos em José, e disse: Deita-te comigo.
And so, after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Sleep with me.”
8 Porém ele recusou, e disse à mulher do seu senhor: Eis que o meu senhor não sabe do que há em casa comigo, e entregou em minha mão tudo o que tem
And without consenting at all to the wicked act, he said to her: “Behold, my lord has delivered all things to me, and he does not know what he has in his own house.
9 Ninguém há maior do que eu nesta casa, e nenhuma coisa me vedou, senão a ti, porquanto tu és sua mulher; como pois faria eu este tamanho mal, e pecaria contra Deus?
Neither is there anything which is not in my power, or that he has not delivered to me, except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this evil act and sin against my God?”
10 E aconteceu que, falando ela cada dia a José, e não lhe dando ele ouvidos, para deitar-se com ela, e estar com ela,
With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.
11 Sucedeu num certo dia que veio à casa para fazer seu serviço; e nenhum dos da casa estava ali em casa;
Then it happened, on a certain day, that Joseph entered the house, and he was doing something, without any witnesses.
12 E ela lhe pegou pelo seu vestido, dizendo: Deita-te comigo. E ele deixou o seu vestido na mão dela, e fugiu, e saiu para fora.
And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, “Sleep with me.” But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.
13 E aconteceu que, vendo ela que deixara o seu vestido em sua mão, e fugira para fora,
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,
14 Chamou aos homens de sua casa, e falou-lhes, dizendo: vede, trouxe-nos o varão hebreu, para escarnecer de nós; entrou a mim para deitar-se comigo, e eu gritei com grande voz,
she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: “Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,
15 E aconteceu que, ouvindo ele que eu levantava a minha voz e gritava, deixou o seu vestido comigo, e fugiu, e saiu para fora.
and he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
16 E ela pôs o seu vestido perto de si, até que o seu senhor veio à sua casa.
As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.
17 Então falou-lhe conforme as mesmas palavras, dizendo: veio a mim o servo hebreu, que nos trouxeste para escarnecer de nim;
And she said: “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.
18 E aconteceu que, levantando eu a minha voz e gritando, ele deixou o seu vestido comigo, e fugiu para fora.
And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside.”
19 E aconteceu que, ouvindo o seu senhor as palavras de sua mulher, que lhe falava, dizendo: Conforme a estas mesmas palavras me fez teu servo; a sua ira se acendeu.
His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.
20 E o senhor de José o tomou, e o entregou na casa do cárcere, no lugar onde os presos do rei estavam presos; assim esteve ali na casa do cárcere.
And he delivered Joseph into prison, where the prisoners of the king were kept, and he was enclosed in that place.
21 O Senhor, porém, estava com José, e estendeu sobre ele a sua benignidade, e deu-lhe graça aos olhos do carcereiro-mór.
But the Lord was with Joseph, and, having mercy on him, he gave him favor in the sight of the leader of the prison,
22 E o carcereiro-mór entregou na mão de José todos os presos que estavam na casa do cárcere, e ele fazia tudo o que se fazia ali.
who delivered into his hand all the prisoners who were held in custody. And whatever was done, was under him.
23 E o carcereiro-mór não teve cuidado de nenhuma coisa que estava na mão dele; porquanto o Senhor estava com ele, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava.
Neither did he himself know anything, having entrusted all things to him. For the Lord was with him, and he directed everything that he did.
