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.
Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from 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 the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household 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 God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
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.
So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.
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 about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD 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.
So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
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 took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep 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, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.
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 no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, 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 although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with 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,
Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house 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.
She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
13 Cuando ella miró que él abandonó su manto en la mano de ella y huyó hacia afuera,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
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.
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep 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.
It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
16 Entonces ella retuvo el manto de él hasta que su ʼadón llegó a su casa,
She left 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 told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'
18 Sucedió que cuando alcé mi voz y grité, él dejó su manto junto a mí y huyó afuera.
But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
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 happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.
20 Su amo tomó a José y lo echó en la cárcel donde estaban encerrados los presos del rey. Allí estaba en la cárcel.
Then 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 prison.
21 Pero Yavé estaba con José, le extendió su misericordia y le concedió gracia ante el jefe de la cárcel.
But God was with Joseph and showed him kindness 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.
The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.
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 paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
