Génesis 39
Versión Biblia Libre
1José había sido llevado a Egipto por los ismaelitas, quienes lo habían vendido a Potifar, un egipcio que era uno de los oficiales del faraón, el comandante de la guardia real.
2El Señor estaba con José y lo hacía triunfar. Vivía en la casa de su amo egipcio.
3Su maestro se dio cuenta de que el Señor estaba con él y le otorgaba éxito en todo lo que hacía.
4Potifar apreció a José y su servicio, y lo puso a cargo de su casa y lo hizo responsable de todo lo que poseía.
5Desde que puso a José a cargo y le confió todo lo que tenía, el Señor bendijo la casa de Potifar por causa de José. El Señor bendecía todo lo que tenía, tanto en su casa como en sus campos.
6Así que Potifar dejó que José cuidara de todo lo que tenía. No se preocupaba de nada, excepto de decidir qué comida iba a comer. Ahora José era guapo, tenía un buen físico,
7y algún tiempo después llamó la atención de la esposa de su amo. Ella le propuso matrimonio, diciendo: “¡Ven aquí! ¡Acuéstate conmigo!”
8Pero él la rechazó, diciéndole a la esposa de su amo: “Mira, mi amo confía tanto en mí, que ni siquiera se molesta en averiguar cómo funciona su casa. Me ha puesto a cargo de todo lo que posee.
9¡Nadie en esta casa tiene más autoridad que yo! No me ha ocultado nada excepto a ti, porque eres su esposa. Entonces, ¿cómo podría hacer algo tan malo como esto, y pecar contra Dios?”
10Día tras día ella insistía en preguntarle, pero él se negaba a dormir con ella y trataba de evitarla.
11Pero un día entró en la casa para hacer su trabajo y ninguno de los otros sirvientes estaba allí.
12Ella lo agarró por la ropa, y le exigió: “¡Acuéstate conmigo!” Pero dejando su ropa en su mano, salió corriendo de la casa.
13Viendo que había dejado su ropa en su mano y había salido corriendo de la casa,
14ella gritó a sus sirvientes: “¡Miren! ¡Él trajo a este esclavo hebreo aquí para deshonrarnos! Este hombre vino a tratar de violarme, pero yo grité con todas mis fuerzas.
15Cuando me oyó gritar pidiendo ayuda, dejó su ropa a mi lado y salió corriendo”
16Y guardó la ropa de José hasta que su marido volvió a casa.
17Luego le contó su historia. Y esto fue lo que le dijo: “Ese esclavo hebreo que trajiste aquí trató de venir a deshonrarme.
18Pero tan pronto como grité y pedí ayuda, dejó su ropa a mi lado y salió corriendo”.
19Cuando Potifar oyó la historia que le contó su mujer, diciendo: “Esto es lo que tu siervo me hizo”, se enfadó.
20Tomó a José y lo metió en la prisión donde estaban los prisioneros del rey, y allí se quedó.
21Pero el Señor estaba con José, mostrándole un amor digno de confianza, e hizo que el carcelero principal sintiera agrado de él.
22El carcelero principal puso a José a cargo de todos los prisioneros y le dio la responsabilidad de dirigir la prisión.
23El carcelero principal no se preocupaba de nada porque José se ocupaba de todo, pues el Señor estaba con él y le daba éxito.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y 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.
2Mas Jehová fué con José, y fué varón prosperado: y estaba en la casa de su señor el Egipcio.
3Y vió su señor que Jehová era con él, y que todo lo que él hacía, Jehová lo hacía prosperar en su mano.
4Así 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.
5Y 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.
6Y 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.
7Y aconteció después de esto, que la mujer de su señor puso sus ojos en José, y dijo: Duerme conmigo.
8Y 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:
9No 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?
10Y fué que hablando ella á José cada día, y no escuchándola él para acostarse al lado de ella, para estar con ella,
11Aconteció que entró él un día en casa para hacer su oficio, y no había nadie de los de casa allí en casa:
12Y asiólo ella por su ropa, diciendo: Duerme conmigo. Entonces dejóla él su ropa en las manos, y huyó, y salióse fuera.
13Y acaeció que cuando vió ella que le había dejado su ropa en sus manos, y había huído fuera,
14Llamó 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;
15Y viendo que yo alzaba la voz y gritaba, dejó junto á mí su ropa, y huyó, y salióse fuera.
16Y ella puso junto á sí la ropa de él, hasta que vino su señor á su casa.
17Entonces le habló ella semejantes palabras, diciendo: El siervo Hebreo que nos trajiste, vino á mí para deshonrarme;
18Y como yo alcé mi voz y grité, él dejó su ropa junto á mí, y huyó fuera.
19Y sucedió que como oyó su señor las palabras que su mujer le hablara, diciendo: Así me ha tratado tu siervo; encendióse su furor.
20Y 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.
21Mas Jehová fué con José, y extendió á él su misericordia, y dióle gracia en ojos del principal de la casa de la cárcel.
22Y 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.
23No 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.
King James Version
1And 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.
2And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4And 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.
5And 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.
6And 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.
7And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8But 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;
9There 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?
10And 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.
11And 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.
12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14That 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:
15And 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.
16And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
17And 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:
18And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19And 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.
20And 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.
21But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22And 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.
23The 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.
World English Bible
1Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5From 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 LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
10As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
20Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
21But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
23The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
