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.
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 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 became a successful man. And he was in the household 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 God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep 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, "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 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 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 Enquanto ela falava com Joseph dia após dia, ele não a ouvia, não mentia por ela, nem estava 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 Mais ou menos nessa época, ele entrou na casa para fazer seu trabalho, e não havia nenhum dos homens da casa dentro.
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 Ela o pegou pela roupa dele, dizendo: “Deite-se comigo”. Ele deixou sua roupa na mão dela, e correu para fora.
She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
13 Quando viu que ele tinha deixado sua roupa na mão dela, e tinha corrido para fora,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
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.
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 Quando ele ouviu que eu levantei minha voz e chorei, ele deixou sua roupa por mim, e correu 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 Ela colocou sua veste por ela, até que seu mestre voltou para casa.
She left his garment by her, until his master 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 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 enquanto eu levantava minha voz e chorava, ele deixou sua veste por mim, e correu para fora”.
But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
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 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 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.
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 Mas Yahweh estava com Joseph, e mostrou gentileza para com ele, e deu-lhe um favor aos olhos do guardião da prisão.
But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor 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.
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 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 paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
