Génesis 39
1 Ahora José fue llevado a Egipto; y Potifar el egipcio, un capitán de alto rango en la casa de Faraón, lo obtuvo por un precio de los ismaelitas que lo habían llevado allí.
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 Y el Señor estaba con José, que llegó a ser un hombre próspero; y él estaba viviendo 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 Y su amo vio que el Señor estaba con él, haciendo que todo lo que él hacía iba bien.
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 y teniendo una gran opinión de José como su siervo, lo hizo el supervisor de su casa y le dio el control de todo lo que tenía.
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 Y desde el momento en que lo hizo mayordomo y le dio el control de todas sus propiedades, la bendición del Señor fue con el egipcio, por causa de José; la bendición del Señor estaba en 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 Y dio a José el control de toda su propiedad, sin guardar cuenta de nada, sino solo de la comida que se le presentó. Ahora José era muy hermoso en forma y rostro.
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 Y después de un tiempo, la esposa de su amo, mirando a José con deseo, le dijo: Sé mi amante.
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 no quiso, y le dijo: Tú ves que mi señor no tiene que preocuparse de lo que yo hago en su casa, y pone todas sus propiedades bajo mi control;
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 para que nadie tenga más autoridad en esta casa que yo; no me ha ocultado nada más que a ti, porque eres su esposa; ¿Cómo puedo hacer este gran error, 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 Y día tras día ella siguió pidiéndole a José que viniera a ella y fuera su amante, pero él no la escucharía.
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 Un día entró en la casa para hacer su trabajo; y ninguno de los hombres de la casa estaba adentro.
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 Y tomando su manto, dijo: Ven a mi cama; pero dejando su manto, se fue 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 Y cuando ella vio que él había escapado, dejándola su manto en sus manos,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14 y mandó llamar a los hombres de su casa, y les dijo: Mira, él ha permitido que un hebreo venga aquí y se burle de nosotros; él vino a mi cama y yo di un fuerte grito;
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 Y oyéndome gritar, salió sin su manto.
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 Y ella guardó su manto junto a ella, hasta que regresó su señor.
And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 Entonces ella le contó la misma historia, diciendo: El siervo hebreo que has tomado en nuestra casa entró para deshonrarme;
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 cuando di un fuerte grito, salió corriendo sin su manto.
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
19 Y oyendo el relato de su mujer acerca de lo que había hecho su siervo, se enojó mucho.
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 Entonces el señor de José lo tomó y lo puso en la cárcel, en el lugar donde los prisioneros del rey estaban encadenados, y él estaba allí en la prisión.
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 fue bueno con él, y le dio favor en los ojos del jefe de la cárcel.
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 Y el guardián de la prisión puso a todos los presos bajo el control de José, y él era responsable de todo lo que allí se hacía.
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 Y el guardián de la prisión no tenía que preocuparse de nada de lo que estaba bajo el cuidado de José, porque el Señor estaba con él; y el Señor hizo que todo lo que hiciera saliera bien.
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.
