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, captain of the guard, 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 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 his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that the LORD made 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.
And Joseph found grace in his sight, 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 [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake: and the blessing of the LORD was on 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 knew not aught he had, save the bread which he ate; and Joseph was [a] goodly [person], and well favored.
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 to his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to 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 his 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 wickedness, 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, that he hearkened not to 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.
And it came to pass, about this time, that [Joseph] 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 went out.
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 had 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 to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he hath 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 Y oyéndome gritar, salió sin su manto.
And it came to pass, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and went out.
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 to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought to us, came in to me to mock me.
18 Y cuando di un fuerte grito, salió corriendo sin su manto.
And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled.
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 to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant 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, a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound: 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 showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper 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 keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatever they did there, was done by 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 keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him: and [that] which he did the LORD made [it] to prosper.
