1 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.

Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.

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

The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

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

Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 A sí 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.

So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he put in his charge.

5 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.

It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; thus the Lord’s blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.

6 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.

So he left everything he owned in Joseph’s charge; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

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

It came about after these events that his master’s wife looked with desire at Joseph, and she said, “ Lie with me.”

8 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:

But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge.

9 N o 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?

There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?”

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

As she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her.

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

Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside.

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

She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.

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

When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

14 L lamó 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;

she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I screamed.

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

When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.”

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

So she left his garment beside her until his master came home.

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

Then she spoke to him with these words, “ The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me;

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

and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.” Joseph Imprisoned

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

Now when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “ This is what your slave did to me,” his anger burned.

20 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.

So Joseph’s master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail.

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

But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer.

22 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.

The chief jailer committed to Joseph’s charge all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was responsible for it.

23 N o 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.

The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph’s charge because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made to prosper.
