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 Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guards, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.

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 thus in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 Su amo vio que Yahvé estaba con él, y que Yahvé hacía prosperar en su mano todo lo que hacía.

And when his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand:

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.

Joseph found grace in his eyes, and he served him; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

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 from the time he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for the sake of Joseph; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had, in the house and in the 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 left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he troubled himself not about aught he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was handsome in form and handsome in appearance.

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 she 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 refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, Thy master troubleth himself not about what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath into my hand;

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?”

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 evil, 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 it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, and he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or 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.

That it came to pass one particular day, that he went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there 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 him by his garment, saying, Lie with me; and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and ran out into the street.

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 garment in her hand, and was fled 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 unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in unto us a Hebrew man to have his sport with us; he came in unto me to 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 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 ran out into the street.

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

And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.

17 Ella le habló según estas palabras, diciendo: “El siervo hebreo que nos has traído, entró a burlarse de mí,

And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to have his sport with me.

18 y al levantar mi voz y gritar, dejó su ropa junto a mí y salió corriendo.”

And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled 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 the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying, After this manner hath thy servant done to me; that his wrath was kindled.

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 Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were imprisoned: and he was 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.

But the Lord was with Joseph, and caused him to find kindness, and gave him favor in the eyes of the superintendent 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 superintendent of the prison committed into Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, was done through him.

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.

The superintendent of the prison looked not after the least that was under his hand, because the Lord was with him; and that which he did, the Lord made to prosper.
