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.
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.
2 E o Senhor estava com José, e foi varão próspero; e estava na casa de seu senhor egípcio.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian.
3 Vendo pois o seu senhor que o Senhor estava com ele, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava em sua mão,
And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
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.
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.
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 it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of Jehovah 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 ele, mais do que do pão que comia. E José era formoso de parecer, e formoso à vista.
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.
7 E aconteceu depois destas coisas que a mulher de seu senhor pôs os seus olhos em José, e disse: Deita-te comigo.
And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife took notice of 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
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.
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?
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?"
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,
And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her.
11 Sucedeu num certo dia que veio à casa para fazer seu serviço; e nenhum dos da casa estava ali em casa;
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.
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.
She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
13 E aconteceu que, vendo ela que deixara o seu vestido em sua mão, e fugira para fora,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
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 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.
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.
It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
16 E ela pôs o seu vestido perto de si, até que o seu senhor veio à sua casa.
She left his garment by her, until his master came 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 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.'
18 E aconteceu que, levantando eu a minha voz e gritando, ele deixou o seu vestido comigo, e fugiu para fora.
But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran 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.
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.
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.
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.
21 O Senhor, porém, estava com José, e estendeu sobre ele a sua benignidade, e deu-lhe graça aos olhos do carcereiro-mór.
But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor 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 cárcere, e ele fazia tudo o que se fazia ali.
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.
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.
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.
