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, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
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 prosperous man; 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 favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave 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 he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on 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 took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
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 on Joseph, and 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 takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given 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?
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should 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 and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] 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,
that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
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.
Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran 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 had 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 man 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 with me, and fled and went out.
16 Entonces ella retuvo el manto de él hasta que su ʼadón llegó a su casa,
And she laid his garment by her until his lord 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 bondman that thou hast 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 with me, and fled forth.
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 lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman 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 lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
21 Pero Yavé estaba con José, le extendió su misericordia y le concedió gracia ante el jefe de la cárcel.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
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 chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
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 chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
