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.

Y LLEVADO José á Egipto, comprólo Potiphar, eunuco de Faraón, capitán de los de la guardia, varón Egipcio, de mano de los Ismaelitas que lo habían llevado allá.

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 Jehová fué con José, y fué varón prosperado: y estaba en la casa de su señor el Egipcio.

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.

Y vió su señor que Jehová era con él, y que todo lo que él hacía, Jehová lo hacía prosperar en su mano.

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.

Así halló José gracia en sus ojos, y servíale; y él le hizo mayordomo de su casa, y entregó en su poder todo lo que tenía.

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.

Y aconteció que, desde cuando le dió el encargo de su casa, y de todo lo que tenía, Jehová bendijo la casa del Egipcio á causa de José; y la bendición de Jehová fué sobre todo lo que tenía, así en casa como en el 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.

Y dejó todo lo que tenía en mano de José; ni con él sabía de nada más que del pan que comía. Y era José de hermoso semblante y bella presencia.

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.

Y aconteció después de esto, que la mujer de su señor puso sus ojos en José, y dijo: Duerme conmigo.

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;

Y él no quiso, y dijo á la mujer de su señor: He aquí que mi señor no sabe conmigo lo que hay en casa, y ha puesto en mi mano todo lo que tiene:

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?

No hay otro mayor que yo en esta casa, y ninguna cosa me ha reservado sino á ti, por cuanto tú eres su mujer; ¿cómo, pues, haría yo este grande mal y pecaría contra Dios?

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.

Y fué que hablando ella á José cada día, y no escuchándola él para acostarse al lado de ella, para estar con ella.

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.

Aconteció que entró él un día en casa para hacer su oficio, y no había nadie de los de casa allí en casa.

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.

Y asiólo ella por su ropa, diciendo: Duerme conmigo. Entonces dejóla él su ropa en las manos, y huyó, y salióse fuera.

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

Y acaeció que cuando vió ella que le había dejado su ropa en sus manos, y había huído fuera,

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;

Llamó á los de casa, y hablóles diciendo: Mirad, nos ha traído un Hebreo, para que hiciese burla de nosotros: vino él á mí para dormir conmigo, y yo dí grandes voces;

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.

Y viendo que yo alzaba la voz y gritaba, dejó junto á mí su ropa, y huyó, y salióse fuera.

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

Y ella puso junto á sí la ropa de él, hasta que vino su señor á su 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;

Entonces le habló ella semejantes palabras, diciendo: El siervo Hebreo que nos trajiste, vino á mí para deshonrarme;

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

Y como yo alcé mi voz y grite, él dejó su ropa junto á mí, y huyó fuera.

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.

Y sucedió que como oyó su señor las palabras que su mujer le hablara, diciendo: Así me ha tratado tu siervo; encendióse su furor.

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.

Y tomó su señor á José, y púsole en la casa de la cárcel, donde estaban los presos del rey, y estuvo allí en la casa de la cárcel.

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.

Mas Jehová fué con José, y extendió á él su misericordia, y dióle gracia en ojos del principal de la casa de la cárcel.

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.

Y el principal de la casa de la cárcel entregó en mano de José todos los presos que había en aquella prisión; todo lo que hacían allí, él lo hacía.

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.

No veía el principal de la cárcel cosa alguna que en su mano estaba; porque Jehová era con él, y lo que él hacía, Jehová lo prosperaba.
