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, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which 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 Yhwh 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 Yhwh was with him, and that Yhwh 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 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 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 that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Yhwh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Yhwh was upon 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 he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
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 upon Joseph; and she 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 unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to 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 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 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 spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or 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.
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 Ela o pegou pela roupa dele, dizendo: “Deite-se comigo”. Ele deixou sua roupa na mão dela, e correu para fora.
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him 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 was 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 unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto 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 got him out.
16 Ela colocou sua veste por ela, até que seu mestre voltou para casa.
And she laid up 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 spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto 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 out.
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 master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant 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 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 Yahweh estava com Joseph, e mostrou gentileza para com ele, e deu-lhe um favor aos olhos do guardião da prisão.
But Yhwh was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
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 keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
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 keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because Yhwh was with him, and that which he did, Yhwh made it to prosper.
