Gênesis 39
1 Joseph foi trazido para o Egito. Potiphar, um oficial do faraó, o capitão da guarda, um egípcio, comprou-o da mão dos ismaelitas que o haviam levado para lá.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
2 Yahweh estava com José, e ele era um homem próspero. Ele estava na casa de seu mestre, o egípcio.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 Seu mestre viu que Javé estava com ele, e que Javé fez tudo o que ele fez prosperar em sua mão.
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 Joseph encontrou um favor em sua visão. Ele o serviu, e Potiphar o fez superintendente de sua casa, e tudo o que ele tinha em suas mãos.
And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
5 Desde que o fez superintendente em sua casa, e sobre tudo o que ele tinha, Javé abençoou a casa do egípcio por causa de José. A bênção de Javé estava sobre tudo o que ele tinha, na casa e no campo.
And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
6 Ele deixou tudo o que tinha nas mãos de José. Ele não se preocupou com nada, exceto com a comida que ele comia. Joseph era bem construído e bonito.
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
7 Depois destas coisas, a esposa de seu mestre pôs os olhos em Joseph; e ela disse: “Deite-se comigo”.
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
8 Mas ele recusou, e disse à esposa de seu mestre: “Eis que meu mestre não sabe o que está comigo na casa, e ele colocou tudo o que tem na minha mão.
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
9 Ninguém é maior nesta casa do que eu, e ele não escondeu nada de mim a não ser você, porque você é sua esposa. Como então posso fazer esta grande maldade, e pecar contra Deus”?
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 Enquanto ela falava com Joseph dia após dia, ele não a ouvia, não mentia por ela, nem estava com ela.
And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
11 Mais ou menos nessa época, ele entrou na casa para fazer seu trabalho, e não havia nenhum dos homens da casa dentro.
that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
12 Ela o pegou pela roupa dele, dizendo: “Deite-se comigo”. Ele deixou sua roupa na mão dela, e correu para fora.
Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
13 Quando viu que ele tinha deixado sua roupa na mão dela, e tinha corrido para fora,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
14 ela chamou os homens de sua casa, e falou com eles, dizendo: “Eis que ele trouxe um hebreu até nós para zombar de nós”. Ele veio até mim para deitar-se comigo, e eu chorei com uma voz alta.
that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;
15 Quando ele ouviu que eu levantei minha voz e chorei, ele deixou sua roupa por mim, e correu para fora”.
and it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went out.
16 Ela colocou sua veste por ela, até que seu mestre voltou para casa.
And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 Ela falou com ele de acordo com estas palavras, dizendo: “O servo hebreu, que você nos trouxe, veio até mim para zombar de mim,
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
18 e enquanto eu levantava minha voz e chorava, ele deixou sua veste por mim, e correu para fora”.
and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
19 Quando seu mestre ouviu as palavras de sua esposa, que ela lhe falou, dizendo: “Foi isso que seu servo me fez”, sua ira se acendeu.
And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
20 O mestre de José o levou e o colocou na prisão, o lugar onde os prisioneiros do rei estavam presos, e ele estava lá sob custódia.
And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
21 Mas Yahweh estava com Joseph, e mostrou gentileza para com ele, e deu-lhe um favor aos olhos do guardião da prisão.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
22 O guardião da prisão entregou à mão de José todos os prisioneiros que estavam na prisão. O que quer que eles lá fizessem, ele era responsável por isso.
And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
23 O guardião da prisão não cuidou de nada que estivesse sob sua mão, porque Yahweh estava com ele; e o que ele fez, Yahweh fez prosperar.
The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
