Gênesis 39
1 E levado José ao Egito, comprou-o Potifar, oficial de Faraó, capitão dos da guarda, homem egípcio, da mão dos ismaelitas que o haviam levado ali.
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down thither.
2 Mas o SENHOR foi com José, e foi homem próspero: e estava na casa de seu senhor o egípcio.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 E viu seu senhor que o SENHOR era com ele, e que tudo o que ele fazia, o SENHOR o fazia prosperar em sua mão.
And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 Assim achou José favor em seus olhos, e servia-lhe; e ele lhe fez mordomo de sua casa, e entregou em seu poder tudo o que tinha.
And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and attended on him; and he set him over his house, and all that he had he gave into his hand.
5 E aconteceu que, desde quando lhe deu o encargo de sua casa, e de tudo o que tinha, o SENHOR abençoou a casa do egípcio por causa de José; e a bênção do SENHOR foi sobre tudo o que tinha, tanto em casa como no campo.
And it came to pass from the time he had set him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
6 E deixou tudo o que tinha em mão de José; nem com ele sabia de nada mais que do pão que comia. E era José de belo semblante e bela presença.
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and took cognizance of nothing with him, save the bread that he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful form and of a beautiful countenance.
7 E aconteceu depois disto, que a mulher de seu senhor pôs seus olhos em José, e disse: Dorme comigo.
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!
8 E ele não quis, e disse à mulher de seu senhor: Eis que meu senhor não sabe comigo o que há em casa, e pôs em minha mão tudo o que tem:
But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.
9 Não há outro maior que eu nesta casa, e nenhuma coisa me há reservado a não ser a ti, porquanto tu és sua mulher; como, pois, faria eu este grande mal e pecaria contra Deus?
There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 E foi que falando ela a José cada dia, e não escutando-a ele para deitar-se ao lado dela, para estar com ela.
And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her [and] to be with her,
11 Aconteceu que entrou ele um dia em casa para fazer seu ofício, e não havia ninguém dos da casa ali em casa.
that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.
12 E pegou-o ela por sua roupa, dizendo: Dorme comigo. Então ele deixou sua roupa nas mãos dela, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.
13 E aconteceu que quando viu ela que lhe havia deixado sua roupa em suas mãos, e havia fugido fora,
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,
14 Chamou aos de casa, e falou-lhes dizendo: Olhai que ele nos trouxe um hebreu, para que fizesse zombaria de nós: veio ele a mim para dormir comigo, e eu dei grandes vozes;
that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew man to us, to mock us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and I cried with a loud voice;
15 E vendo que eu erguia a voz e gritava, deixou junto a mim sua roupa, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
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 went out.
16 E ela pôs junto a si a roupa dele, até que veio seu senhor à sua casa.
And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.
17 Então lhe falou ela semelhantes palavras, dizendo: O servo hebreu que nos trouxeste, veio a mim para desonrar-me;
And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
18 E quando eu levantei minha voz e gritei, ele deixou sua roupa junto a mim, e fugiu fora.
and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled forth.
19 E sucedeu que quando ouviu seu senhor as palavras que sua mulher lhe falara, dizendo: Assim me tratou teu servo; acendeu-se seu furor.
And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy bondman to me, that his wrath was kindled.
20 E tomou seu senhor a José, e pôs-lhe na casa do cárcere, onde estavam os presos do rei, e esteve ali na casa do cárcere.
And Joseph's lord took him and put him into the tower-house, [the] place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the tower-house.
21 Mas o SENHOR foi com José, e estendeu a ele sua misericórdia, e deu-lhe favor aos olhos do chefe da casa do cárcere.
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and extended mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the chief of the tower-house.
22 E o chefe da casa do cárcere entregou em mão de José todos os presos que havia naquela prisão; tudo o que faziam ali, ele o fazia.
And the chief of the tower-house committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the tower-house; and whatever they had to do there he did.
23 Não via o chefe do cárcere coisa alguma que em sua mão estava; porque o SENHOR era com ele, e o que ele fazia, o SENHOR o fazia prosperar.
The chief of the tower-house looked not to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and what he did, Jehovah made it prosper.
