Génesis 39
1 José fue llevado a Egipto. Potifar, funcionario de Faraón, capitán de la guardia, varón egipcio, lo compró a los ismaelitas que lo llevaron allá.
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 Pero Yavé estaba con José, y fue varón próspero. Estaba en la casa de su ʼadón 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 Su ʼadón observó que Yavé estaba con él, porque todo cuanto hacía, Yavé lo prosperaba en su mano.
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 José halló gracia ante él y le servía. Él lo puso a cargo de su casa y entregó en su mano 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 Sucedió que, desde cuando lo puso a cargo de su casa y de todo lo que tenía, Yavé bendijo la casa del egipcio a causa de José. La bendición de Yavé estaba 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 Todo lo que tenía lo dejó en mano de José. Con él allí, por nada se preocupaba, excepto por el pan que comía. José era de agradable presencia y de semblante varonil.
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 Después de estas cosas, aconteció que la esposa de su ʼadón fijó sus ojos en José y le dijo: ¡Únete a mí!
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 y respondió a la esposa de su ʼadón: Ciertamente mi ʼadón no se preocupa de lo que hay en la casa, y puso en mi mano todo lo que tiene.
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 No me priva de alguna cosa, sino solo de ti, por cuanto tú eres su esposa. ¿Cómo, pues, haría este mal tan grande y pecaría contra ʼElohim?
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 Sucedió que, aunque ella instaba a José cada día, él no la escuchaba para acostarse a su lado y unirse a 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 Pero aconteció cierto día que, cuando él entró en la casa para hacer su oficio, y nadie de los de la casa estaba allí,
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 ella lo agarró de su manto y le dijo: ¡Únete a mí! Pero él dejó su manto 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 Cuando ella miró que él abandonó su manto en la mano de ella y huyó hacia 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 varones de su casa y les habló: Miren, nos trajo a un esclavo hebreo para que se burlara de nosotros. Vino para unirse a mí, pero grité a gran voz.
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 Sucedió que, cuando él oyó que alzaba mi voz y gritaba, al huir dejó su manto junto a mí y salió afuera.
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 Entonces ella retuvo el manto de él hasta que su ʼadón llegó a su casa,
And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home.
17 y ella le habló las mismas palabras: El esclavo hebreo que nos trajiste vino a mí para divertirse conmigo.
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 Sucedió que cuando alcé mi voz y grité, él dejó su manto 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 Entonces ocurrió que al oír su ʼadón las palabras que su esposa le habló: Así me trató tu esclavo, se encendió su furor.
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 Su amo tomó a José y lo echó en la cárcel donde estaban encerrados los presos del rey. Allí estaba 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 Pero Yavé estaba con José, le extendió su misericordia y le concedió gracia ante el 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 El jefe de la cárcel entregó en mano de José a todos los presos que estaban en la cárcel. Todo lo que hacían allí, él era el responsable.
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 supervisaba algo que estuviera en mano de José, porque Yavé estaba con él. Lo que él emprendía, Yavé lo prosperaba.
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.
