< Genesis 39 >

1 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.
E José foi levado ao Egito, e Potifar, eunuco de faraó, capitão da guarda, varão egípcio, comprou-o da mão dos ishmaelitas que o tinham levado lá.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was thus in the house of his master the Egyptian.
E o Senhor estava com José, e foi varão próspero; e estava na casa de seu senhor egípcio.
3 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:
Vendo pois o seu senhor que o Senhor estava com ele, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava em sua mão,
4 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.
José achou graça em seus olhos, e servia-o; e ele o pôs sobre a sua casa, e entregou na sua mão tudo o que tinha.
5 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.
E aconteceu que, desde que o pusera sobre a sua casa, e sobre tudo o que tinha, o Senhor abençoou a casa do egípcio por amor de José; e a benção do Senhor foi sobre tudo o que tinha, na casa e no campo.
6 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.
E deixou tudo o que tinha na mão de José, de maneira que de nada sabia do que estava com ele, mais do que do pão que comia. E José era formoso de parecer, e formoso à vista.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
E aconteceu depois destas coisas que a mulher de seu senhor pôs os seus olhos em José, e disse: Deita-te comigo.
8 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;
Porém ele recusou, e disse à mulher do seu senhor: Eis que o meu senhor não sabe do que há em casa comigo, e entregou em minha mão tudo o que tem
9 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?
Ninguém há maior do que eu nesta casa, e nenhuma coisa me vedou, senão a ti, porquanto tu és sua mulher; como pois faria eu este tamanho mal, e pecaria contra Deus?
10 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;
E aconteceu que, falando ela cada dia a José, e não lhe dando ele ouvidos, para deitar-se com ela, e estar com ela,
11 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.
Sucedeu num certo dia que veio à casa para fazer seu serviço; e nenhum dos da casa estava ali em casa;
12 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.
E ela lhe pegou pelo seu vestido, dizendo: Deita-te comigo. E ele deixou o seu vestido na mão dela, e fugiu, e saiu para fora.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
E aconteceu que, vendo ela que deixara o seu vestido em sua mão, e fugira para fora,
14 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:
Chamou aos homens de sua casa, e falou-lhes, dizendo: vede, trouxe-nos o varão hebreu, para escarnecer de nós; entrou a mim para deitar-se comigo, e eu gritei com grande voz,
15 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.
E aconteceu que, ouvindo ele que eu levantava a minha voz e gritava, deixou o seu vestido comigo, e fugiu, e saiu para fora.
16 And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.
E ela pôs o seu vestido perto de si, até que o seu senhor veio à sua casa.
17 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.
Então falou-lhe conforme as mesmas palavras, dizendo: veio a mim o servo hebreu, que nos trouxeste para escarnecer de nim;
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
E aconteceu que, levantando eu a minha voz e gritando, ele deixou o seu vestido comigo, e fugiu para fora.
19 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.
E aconteceu que, ouvindo o seu senhor as palavras de sua mulher, que lhe falava, dizendo: Conforme a estas mesmas palavras me fez teu servo; a sua ira se acendeu.
20 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.
E o senhor de José o tomou, e o entregou na casa do cárcere, no lugar onde os presos do rei estavam presos; assim esteve ali na casa do cárcere.
21 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.
O Senhor, porém, estava com José, e estendeu sobre ele a sua benignidade, e deu-lhe graça aos olhos do carcereiro-mór.
22 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.
E o carcereiro-mór entregou na mão de José todos os presos que estavam na casa do cárcere, e ele fazia tudo o que se fazia ali.
23 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.
E o carcereiro-mór não teve cuidado de nenhuma coisa que estava na mão dele; porquanto o Senhor estava com ele, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava.
