Génesis, 39
1. José fue bajado a Egipto, y le compró un egipcio, Putifar, eunuco de Faraón y jefe de los guardias; le compró a los ismaelitas que le habían bajado allá.
1. Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt, and Pot'i-phar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ish'maelites who had brought him down there.
2. Yahveh asistió a José, que llegó a ser un hombre afortunado, mientras estaba en casa de su señor egipcio.
2. The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian,
3. Este echó de ver que Yahveh estaba con él y que Yahveh hacía prosperar todas sus empresas.
3. and his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hands.
4. José ganó su favor y entró a su servico, y su señor le puso al frente de su casa y todo cuanto tenía se lo confió.
4. So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.
5. Desde entonces le encargó de toda su casa y de todo lo que tenía, y Yahveh bendijo la casa del egipcio en atención a José, extendiéndose la bendición de Yahveh a todo cuanto tenía en casa y en el campo.
5. From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had, in house and field.
6. El mismo dejó todo lo suyo en manos de José y, con él, ya no se ocupó personalmente de nada más que del pan que comía. José era apuesto y de buena presencia.
6. So he left all that he had in Joseph's charge; and having him he had no concern for anything but the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and good-looking.
7. Tiempo más tarde sucedió que la mujer de su señor se fijó en José y le dijo: «Acuéstate conmigo.»
7. And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, "Lie with me."
8. Pero él rehusó y dijo a la mujer de su señor: «He aquí que mi señor no me controla nada de lo que hay en su casa, y todo cuanto tiene me lo ha confiado.
8. But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Lo, having me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my hand;
9. ¿No es él mayor que y o en esta casa? Y sin embargo, no me ha vedado absolutamente nada más que a ti misma, por cuanto eres su mujer. ¿Cómo entonces voy a hacer este mal tan grande, pecando contra Dios?»
9. he is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept back anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife; how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"
10. Ella insistía en hablar a José día tras día, pero él no accedió a acostarse y estar con ella.
10. And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie with her or to be with her.
11. Hasta que cierto día entró él en la casa para hacer su trabajo y coincidió que no había ninguno de casa allí dentro.
11. But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,
12. Entonces ella le asió de la ropa diciéndole: «Acuéstate conmigo.» Pero él, dejándole su ropa en la mano, salió huyendo afuera.
12. she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me." But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and got out of the house.
13. Entonces ella, al ver que había dejado la ropa en su mano, huyó también afuera y gritó a los de su casa diciéndoles:
13. And when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled out of the house,
14. - «¡Mirad! Nos ha traído un hebreo para que se burle de nosotros. Ha venido a mí para acostarse conmigo, poro yo he gritado,
14. she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to insult us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice;
15. y al oírme levantar la voz y gritar, ha dejado su vestido a mi lado y ha salido huyendo afuera.»
15. and when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled and got out of the house."
16. Ella depositó junto a sí el vestido de él, hasta que vino su señor a casa,
16. Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home,
17. y le repitió esto mismo: «Ha entrado a mí ese siervo hebreo que tú nos trajiste, para abusar de mí;
17. and she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to insult me;
18. pero yo he levantado la voz y he gritado, y entonces ha dejado él su ropa junto a mí y ha huido afuera.»
18. but as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out of the house."
19. Al oír su señor las palabras que acababa de decirle su mujer: - «Esto ha hecho conmigo tu siervo» - se encolerizó.
19. When his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, "This is the way your servant treated me," his anger was kindled.
20. Y el señor de José le prendió y le puso en la cárcel, en el sitio donde estaban los detenidos del rey. Allí se quedó en presidio.
20. And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.
21. Pero Yahveh asistió a José y le cubrió con su misericordia, haciendo que se ganase el favor del alcaide.
21. But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22. El alcaide confió a José todos los detenidos que había en la cárcel; todo lo que se hacía allí, lo hacía él.
22. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatever was done there, he was the doer of it;
23. El alcaide no controlaba absolutamente nada de cuanto administraba José, ya que Yahveh le asistía y hacía prosperar todas sus empresas.
23. the keeper of the prison paid no heed to anything that was in Joseph's care, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.
