1 L levado, pues, José a Egipto, Potifar, eunuco de Faraón, capitán de la guardia, varón egipcio, lo compró de los ismaelitas que lo habían llevado allá.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

2 M as Jehová estaba con José, y fue varón próspero; y estaba en la casa de su amo el egipcio.

And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 Y vio su amo que Jehová estaba con él, y que todo lo que él hacía, Jehová lo hacía prosperar en su mano.

And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 A sí halló José gracia en sus ojos, y le servía; y él le hizo mayordomo de su casa y entregó en su poder todo lo que tenía.

And 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.

5 Y aconteció que desde que le dio el encargo de su casa y de todo lo que tenía, Jehová bendijo la casa del egipcio a causa de José, y la bendición de Jehová estaba sobre todo lo que tenía, así en casa como en el campo.

And 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.

6 Y dejó todo lo que tenía en mano de José, y con él no se preocupaba de cosa alguna sino del pan que comía. Y era José de hermoso semblante y bella presencia.

And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

7 A conteció después de esto, que la mujer de su amo puso sus ojos en José, y dijo: Duerme conmigo.

And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

8 Y él no quiso, y dijo a la mujer de su amo: He aquí que mi señor no se preocupa conmigo de lo que hay en casa, y ha puesto en mi mano todo lo que tiene.

But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

9 N o hay otro mayor que yo en esta casa, y ninguna cosa me ha reservado sino a ti, por cuanto tú eres su mujer; ¿cómo, pues, haría yo este grande mal, y pecaría contra Dios?

there is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

10 H ablando ella a José cada día, y no escuchándola él para acostarse al lado de ella, para estar con ella,

And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to 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.

And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

12 Y ella lo asió por su ropa, diciendo: Duerme conmigo. Entonces él dejó su ropa en las manos de ella, y huyó y salió.

And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

13 C uando vio ella que le había dejado su ropa en sus manos, y había huido fuera,

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

14 l lamó a los de casa, y les habló diciendo: Mirad, nos ha traído un hebreo para que hiciese burla de nosotros. Vino él a mí para dormir conmigo, y yo di grandes voces;

that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

15 y viendo que yo alzaba la voz y gritaba, dejó junto a mí su ropa, y huyó y salió.

and 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 got him out.

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

And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

17 E ntonces le habló ella las mismas palabras, diciendo: El siervo hebreo que nos trajiste, vino a mí para deshonrarme.

And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:

18 Y cuando yo alcé mi voz y grité, él dejó su ropa junto a mí y huyó fuera.

and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

19 Y sucedió que cuando oyó el amo de José las palabras que su mujer le hablaba, diciendo: Así me ha tratado tu siervo, se encendió en furor.

And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

20 Y tomó su amo a José, y lo puso en la cárcel, donde estaban los presos del rey, y estuvo allí en la cárcel.

And 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.

21 P ero Jehová estaba con José y le extendió su misericordia, y le dio gracia en los ojos del jefe de la cárcel.

But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

22 Y el jefe de la cárcel entregó en mano de José el cuidado de todos los presos que había en aquella prisión; todo lo que se hacía allí, él lo hacía.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

23 N o necesitaba atender el jefe de la cárcel cosa alguna de las que estaban al cuidado de José, porque Jehová estaba con José, y lo que él hacía, Jehová lo prosperaba.

The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
