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.
Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
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 became a successful man. And he was in the household 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 God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands.
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.
So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.
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 about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph; 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.
So he left everything that he had in Joseph's care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and 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 took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep 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, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care.
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 no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a 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 although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with 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.
Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12 Y tomando su manto, dijo: Ven a mi cama; pero dejando su manto, se fue corriendo.
She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside.
13 Y cuando ella vio que él había escapado, dejándola su manto en sus manos,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside,
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;
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 Y oyéndome gritar, salió sin su manto.
It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside."
16 Y ella guardó su manto junto a ella, hasta que regresó su señor.
She left his garment by her, until his master 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 told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, 'Let me sleep with you.'
18 Y cuando di un fuerte grito, salió corriendo sin su manto.
But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside."
19 Y oyendo el relato de su mujer acerca de lo que había hecho su siervo, se enojó mucho.
And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious.
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.
Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound, and he was there in 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 kindness 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.
The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there.
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 paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.
