1 ¶ And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hands of the Ishmeelites, who had brought him down there.

José foi levado ao Egito; e Potifar, oficial de Faraó, capitão da guarda, egípcio, comprou-o da mão dos ismaelitas que o haviam levado para lá.

2 B ut the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prospered man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

Mas o Senhor era com José, e ele tornou-se próspero; e estava na casa do seu senhor, o egípcio.

3 A nd his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

E viu o seu senhor que Deus era com ele, e que fazia prosperar em sua mão tudo quanto ele empreendia.

4 S o 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.

Assim José achou graça aos olhos dele, e o servia; de modo que o fez mordomo da sua casa, e entregou na sua mão tudo o que tinha.

5 A nd 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 upon all that he had in the house and in the field.

Desde que o pôs como mordomo sobre a sua casa e sobre todos os seus bens, o Senhor abençoou a casa do egípcio por amor de José; e a bênção do Senhor estava sobre tudo o que tinha, tanto na casa como no campo.

6 A nd he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and with him knew of nothing more than of the bread which he ate. And Joseph was handsome and well favoured.

Potifar deixou tudo na mão de José, de maneira que nada sabia do que estava com ele, a não ser do pão que comia. Ora, José era formoso de porte e de semblante.

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 do seu senhor pôs os olhos em José, e lhe disse: Deita-te comigo.

8 B ut he refused and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand;

Mas ele recusou, e disse ã mulher do seu senhor: Eis que o meu senhor não sabe o que está comigo na sua casa, e entregou em minha mão tudo o que tem;

9 t here is none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back anything from me but thee because thou art his wife; how then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?

ele não é maior do que eu nesta casa; e nenhuma coisa me vedou, senão a ti, porquanto és sua mulher. Como, pois, posso eu cometer este grande mal, e pecar contra Deus?

10 A nd it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not hearken unto her, to lie by her or to be with her.

Entretanto, ela instava com José dia após dia; ele, porém, não lhe dava ouvidos, para se deitar com ela, ou estar com ela.

11 A nd it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and none of those of the house were there within.

Mas sucedeu, certo dia, que entrou na casa para fazer o seu serviço; e nenhum dos homens da casa estava lá dentro.

12 A nd she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me; and he left his garment in her hand and fled and got outside.

Então ela, pegando-o pela capa, lhe disse: Deita-te comigo! Mas ele, deixando a capa na mão dela, fugiu, escapando para fora.

13 ¶ And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled forth,

Quando ela viu que ele deixara a capa na mão dela e fugira para fora,

14 t hat she called unto those of her house and spoke unto them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice;

chamou pelos homens de sua casa, e disse-lhes: Vede! meu marido trouxe-nos um hebreu para nos insultar; veio a mim para se deitar comigo, e eu gritei em alta voz;

15 a nd 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 left.

e ouvigiu-se para ela no caminho, e disse: Vem, deixa-me deixou, aqui a sua capa e fugiu, escapando para fora.

16 A nd she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.

Ela guardou a capa consigo, até que o senhor dele voltou a casa.

17 A nd she spoke unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew slave, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to dishonour me;

Então falou-lhe conforme as mesmas palavras, dizendo: O servo hebreu, que nos trouxeste, veio a mim para me insultar;

18 a nd when I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me and fled out.

mas, levantando eu a voz e gritando, ele deixou comigo a capa 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 did thy slave treat me, that his wrath was kindled.

Tendo o seu senhor ouvido as palavras de sua mulher, que lhe falava, dizendo: Desta maneira me fez teu servo, a sua ira se acendeu.

20 A nd 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.

Então o senhor de José o tomou, e o lançou no cárcere, no lugar em que os presos do rei estavam encarcerados; e ele ficou ali no cárcere.

21 B ut the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy and gave him grace in the sight of the prince of the house of the prison.

O Senhor, porém, era com José, estendendo sobre ele a sua benignidade e dando-lhe graça aos olhos do carcereiro,

22 A nd the prince of the house of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.

o qual entregou na mão de José todos os presos que estavam no cárcere; e era José quem ordenava tudo o que se fazia ali.

23 T he prince of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.

E o carcereiro não tinha cuidado de coisa alguma que estava na mão de José, porquanto o Senhor era com ele, fazendo prosperar tudo quanto ele empreendia.
