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 taken down to Egypt, —and Potiphar, courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners, an Egyptian bought him, at 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 it came to pass that Yahweh, was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man, —and was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.

3 Su ʼadón observó que Yavé estaba con él, porque todo cuanto hacía, Yavé lo prosperaba en su mano.

And his lord saw, that, Yahweh, was with him—and that whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing 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.

So Joseph found favour in his eyes and waited upon him, —and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had, gave he 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 Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian, for Joseph’s sake, —yea it came to pass, that the blessing of Yahweh, was with 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 that he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and took note with him of nothing, save only the bread which, he himself, was eating. And so it was that Joseph was comely in form and comely in 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 lord’s wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, —and she said—Come! 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.

And he refused and said unto his lord’s wife, Lo! my lord, taketh no note with me as to what is in the house, —but, all that pertaineth to him, hath he delivered 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 no one greater in this house than I, neither hath he withheld from me anything, save only thyself in that thou, art his wife, —how, then could 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, that although she Spake unto Joseph day after day, yet hearkened he not unto her to lie beside her 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, when, on a certain day, he went into the house to attend to his business, —and there was no man of the household, 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.

that she caught him by his garment, saying—Come! lie with me. Then left he his garment in her hand, and fled and gat forth outside,

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 fled forth 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.

that she cried out to the men of her house and spake to them, saying, Look ye! he hath brought in to us a Hebrew man to insult us, —He came in unto me, to lie with me, so I cried out 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 high my voice, and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled and gat forth outside.

16 Entonces ella retuvo el manto de él hasta que su ʼadón llegó a su casa,

So she laid by his garment beside her, —until his lord should come into his house,

17 y ella le habló las mismas palabras: El esclavo hebreo que nos trajiste vino a mí para divertirse conmigo.

Then spake she unto him, according to these words, saying, —He hath been in unto me—the Hebrew servant whom thou didst bring in to us—to insult 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 when I lifted high my voice and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled 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 came to pass, when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spake unto him saying, According to these words, hath thy servant done to me, Then was kindled his anger.

20 Su amo tomó a José y lo echó en la cárcel donde estaban encerrados los presos del rey. Allí estaba en la cárcel.

So Joseph’s lord took him and delivered him up to the prison: the place where, the prisoners of the king, were imprisoned, —so 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.

And it came to pass that, Yahweh, was with Joseph, and extended unto him lovingkindness, —and gave him his favour in the eyes of the chief 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.

So the chief of the prison delivered up, into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison, —and of all that was doing there, he, was the doer.

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.

After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand, —in that Yahweh, was with him, and whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.
