Gênesis 39
1 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.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt: and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.
2 Mas o SENHOR foi com José, e foi homem próspero: e estava na casa de seu senhor o egípcio.
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man: and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 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.
And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 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.
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand.
5 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.
And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake: and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6 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.
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he ate; and Joseph was [a] goodly [person], and well favored.
7 E aconteceu depois disto, que a mulher de seu senhor pôs seus olhos em José, e disse: Dorme comigo.
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph: and she said, Lie with me.
8 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:
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand:
9 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?
[There is] none greater in his house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou [art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 E foi que falando ela a José cada dia, e não escutando-a ele para deitar-se ao lado dela, para estar com ela.
And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not to her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.
11 Aconteceu que entrou ele um dia em casa para fazer seu ofício, e não havia ninguém dos da casa ali em casa.
And it came to pass, about this time, that [Joseph] went into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of the house there within.
12 E pegou-o ela por sua roupa, dizendo: Dorme comigo. Então ele deixou sua roupa nas mãos dela, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and went out.
13 E aconteceu que quando viu ela que lhe havia deixado sua roupa em suas mãos, e havia fugido fora,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled forth,
14 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;
That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us: he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15 E vendo que eu erguia a voz e gritava, deixou junto a mim sua roupa, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
And it came to pass, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and went out.
16 E ela pôs junto a si a roupa dele, até que veio seu senhor à sua casa.
And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 Então lhe falou ela semelhantes palavras, dizendo: O servo hebreu que nos trouxeste, veio a mim para desonrar-me;
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought to us, came in to me to mock me.
18 E quando eu levantei minha voz e gritei, ele deixou sua roupa junto a mim, e fugiu fora.
And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled.
19 E sucedeu que quando ouviu seu senhor as palavras que sua mulher lhe falara, dizendo: Assim me tratou teu servo; acendeu-se seu furor.
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20 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.
And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound: and he was there in the prison.
21 Mas o SENHOR foi com José, e estendeu a ele sua misericórdia, e deu-lhe favor aos olhos do chefe da casa do cárcere.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 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.
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatever they did there, was done by him.
23 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.
The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him: and [that] which he did the LORD made [it] to prosper.
