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 Petephres the eunuch of Pharao, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ismaelites, who 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 the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his lord the Egyptian.
3 y su señor vio que Yahvé le asistía y que Yahvé favorecía en sus manos todas sus empresas.
And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.
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 grace in the presence of his lord, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into the hand of Joseph.
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 after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his 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 committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, save the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance.
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 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 would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
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?”
and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife—how then shall I do this wicked thing, 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 when she talked with Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to sleep with her, so as 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,
it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household within.
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 hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me; and having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and went forth.
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 clothes in her hands, and fled, and gone 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 those that were in the house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us—he came in to me, saying, 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 when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went forth out.
16 Y puso ella junto a sí el vestido de él hasta que su señor volviera a la casa.
So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.
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 you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.
18 pero cuando yo levanté mi voz y grité, dejó su vestido junto a mí y huyó afuera.”
And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.
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 all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry.
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 his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, 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,
And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and he gave him favor in the sight of the chief 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 chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners as many as were in the prison; and all things whatever they do there, he did them.
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.
Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hand of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
