Génesis 39
1 José fue llevado a Egipto; y Putifar, eunuco del Faraón, capitán de la guardia, egipcio, le compró a los ismaelitas que allá le habían llevado.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
2 Mas Yahvé estaba con José e hizo prosperar lo que hacía. Habitaba en casa de su señor, el egipcio;
And Jehovah was with Joseph. And he was a man who succeeds. And he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 y su señor vio que Yahvé le asistía y que Yahvé favorecía en sus manos todas sus empresas.
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 Así José halló gracia a sus ojos, y le servía de tal manera que le encargó el gobierno de su casa y puso en sus manos todo lo que tenía.
And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered to him. And he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 Y sucedió que desde el tiempo en que le encargara el gobierno de su casa y de todo lo que tenía, Yahvé bendijo la casa del egipcio por amor a José; y la bendición de Yahvé se derramó sobre todo lo que tenía, tanto en la casa como en el campo;
And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake. And the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6 de manera que dejó todo lo suyo en manos de José, sin tener otra preocupación que la de comer. Era José de bella figura y de hermoso aspecto.
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he knew nothing that was with him, save the bread which he ate. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored.
7 Acaeció después de estas cosas que la mujer de su señor puso los ojos en José y dijo: “Acuéstate conmigo.”
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 Pero él rehusó, diciendo a la mujer de su señor: “Es verdad que mi señor no me pide cuentas acerca de lo que tiene en su casa, y todos sus bienes los ha puesto en mi mano;
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9 nadie hay en esta casa que sea más grande que yo, y él no se ha reservado nada, a excepción de ti, por cuanto eres su mujer. ¿Cómo, pues, voy a hacer esta gran maldad y pecar contra Dios?”
He is not greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 Todos los días hablaba ella así, pero él no consintió en acostarse a su lado y estarse con ella.
And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not hearken to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 Mas cuando cierto día entró en la casa para cumplir su tarea, y no había ninguno de los sirvientes de la casa allí dentro,
And it came to pass, about this time, that he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there inside.
12 le asió de su vestido y dijo: “Acuéstate conmigo.” Pero él, dejando su vestido en mano de ella, huyó y salió afuera.
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me. And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got out.
13 Viendo ella que le había dejado su vestido en la mano y había huido afuera,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14 llamó a los sirvientes de su casa y les dijo: “Mirad, nos ha traído un hebreo para que se burle de nosotros; vino a mí para acostarse conmigo, pero yo clamé a grandes voces;
that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has 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 y él, como oyese que yo alzaba mi voz y clamaba, dejó su vestido junto a mí y escapó huyendo.”
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got out.
16 Y puso ella junto a sí el vestido de él hasta que su señor volviera a la casa.
And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home.
17 A este le habló en los mismos términos, diciendo: “Vino a mí el siervo hebreo que nos trajiste, para burlarse de mí;
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou have brought to us, came in to me to mock me.
18 pero cuando yo levanté mi voz y grité, dejó su vestido junto a mí y huyó afuera.”
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.
19 Al oír el señor las palabras que su mujer le hablaba, diciendo: “Esto me ha hecho su siervo”, montó en cólera,
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 y tomando a José lo metió en la cárcel, en el lugar donde se guardaban los presos del rey; y allí quedó en la cárcel.
And 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 the prison.
21 Mas Yahvé estaba con José, y le mostró su misericordia, haciéndolo grato a los ojos del jefe de la cárcel,
But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 de tal manera que el jefe de la cárcel puso todos los presos que había en la cárcel en manos de José, y sin José no se hacía nada allí.
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. And whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23 El jefe de la cárcel no se cuidaba de cosa alguna que estaba en manos (de José), porque Yahvé le asistía, y Yahvé favorecía todas sus acciones.
The keeper of the prison did not look to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him, and that which he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
