Génesis 39

1 José fue llevado a Egipto. Potifar, un oficial del Faraón, el capitán de la guardia, un egipcio, lo compró de la mano de los ismaelitas que lo habían hecho descender.

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 El Señor estaba con José, y éste era un hombre próspero. Estaba en la casa de su amo 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 Su amo vio que Yahvé estaba con él, y que Yahvé hacía prosperar en su mano todo lo que hacía.

And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and the Lord prospers in his hands whatever he happens to do.

4 José halló gracia ante sus ojos. Le sirvió, y Potifar lo nombró supervisor de su casa, y todo lo que tenía lo puso en sus manos.

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 Desde el momento en que lo nombró supervisor de su casa y de todo lo que tenía, Yahvé bendijo la casa del egipcio por causa de José. La bendición del Señor recayó sobre todo lo que tenía, en la casa y 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 Dejó todo lo que tenía en manos de José. No se preocupó por nada, excepto por la comida que comía. José era bien parecido y guapo.

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 Después de esto, la mujer de su amo puso sus ojos en José y le 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 se negó y dijo a la mujer de su amo: “He aquí que mi amo no sabe lo que hay conmigo en la casa, y ha puesto en mi mano todo lo que tiene.

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 es mayor que yo en esta casa, y no me ha ocultado nada más que a ti, porque eres su mujer. ¿Cómo, pues, puedo 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 Mientras ella le hablaba a José cada día, él no la escuchaba, ni se acostaba junto a ella, ni estaba 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 Por aquel entonces, él entró en la casa para hacer su trabajo, y no había ninguno de los hombres de la casa 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 Ella lo agarró por el manto, diciendo: “Acuéstate conmigo”. Él dejó su manto en la mano de ella y salió corriendo.

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 Cuando ella vio que él había dejado su manto en la mano de ella, y había corrido 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 hombres de su casa, y les habló diciendo: “He aquí, él ha traído a un hebreo para burlarse de nosotros. Entró en mi casa para acostarse conmigo, y yo grité con fuerza.

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 Cuando oyó que yo levantaba la voz y gritaba, dejó su manto junto a mí y salió corriendo.”

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 Ella dejó su ropa junto a ella, hasta que su amo volvió a casa.

So she leaves the clothes by her, until the master came to his house.

17 Ella le habló según estas palabras, diciendo: “El siervo hebreo que nos has traído, entró a 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 y al levantar mi voz y gritar, dejó su ropa junto a mí y salió corriendo.”

And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled and departed forth.

19 Cuando su amo oyó las palabras de su mujer, que le dijo: “Esto es lo que me hizo tu siervo”, se encendió su ira.

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 El amo de José lo apresó y lo metió en la cárcel, el lugar donde estaban atados los prisioneros del rey, y allí estuvo detenido.

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 Pero el Señor estaba con José, y se mostró bondadoso con él, y le dio favor a los ojos del guardián de la prisión.

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 El guardián de la cárcel puso en manos de José a todos los presos que estaban en la cárcel. Todo lo que hicieran allí, él era responsable de ello.

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 guardián de la cárcel no se ocupaba de nada de lo que estaba bajo su mano, porque el Señor estaba con él; y lo que él hacía, el Señor lo hacía prosperar.

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.
