1 E José foi levado ao Egito, e Potifar, oficial de Faraó, capitão da guarda, homem egípcio, comprou-o da mão dos ismaelitas que o tinham levado lá.
2 E o SENHOR estava com José, e foi homem próspero; e estava na casa de seu senhor egípcio.
3 Vendo, pois, o seu senhor que o SENHOR estava com ele, e tudo o que fazia o SENHOR prosperava em sua mão,
4 José achou graça em seus olhos, e servia-o; e ele o pôs sobre a sua casa, e entregou na sua mão tudo o que tinha.
5 E aconteceu que, desde que o pusera sobre a sua casa e sobre tudo o que tinha, o Senhor abençoou a casa do egípcio por amor de José; e a bênção do Senhor foi sobre tudo o que tinha, na casa e no campo.
6 E deixou tudo o que tinha na mão de José, de maneira que nada sabia do que estava com ele, a não ser do pão que comia. E José era formoso de porte, e de semblante.
7 E aconteceu depois destas coisas que a mulher do seu senhor pôs os seus olhos em José, e disse: Deita-te comigo.
8 Porém ele recusou, e disse à mulher do seu senhor: Eis que o meu senhor não sabe do que há em casa comigo, e entregou em minha mão tudo o que tem;
9 Ninguém há maior do que eu nesta casa, e nenhuma coisa me vedou, senão a ti, porquanto tu és sua mulher; como pois faria eu tamanha maldade, e pecaria contra Deus?
10 E aconteceu que falando ela cada dia a José, e não lhe dando ele ouvidos, para deitar-se com ela, e estar com ela,
11 Sucedeu num certo dia que ele veio à casa para fazer seu serviço; e nenhum dos da casa estava ali;
12 E ela lhe pegou pela sua roupa, dizendo: Deita-te comigo. E ele deixou a sua roupa na mão dela, e fugiu, e saiu para fora.
13 E aconteceu que, vendo ela que deixara a sua roupa em sua mão, e fugira para fora,
14 Chamou aos homens de sua casa, e falou-lhes, dizendo: Vede, meu marido trouxe-nos um homem hebreu para escarnecer de nós; veio a mim para deitar-se comigo, e eu gritei com grande voz;
15 E aconteceu que, ouvindo ele que eu levantava a minha voz e gritava, deixou a sua roupa comigo, e fugiu, e saiu para fora.
16 E ela pôs a sua roupa perto de si, até que o seu senhor voltou à sua casa.
17 Então falou-lhe conforme as mesmas palavras, dizendo: Veio a mim o servo hebreu, que nos trouxeste, para escarnecer de mim;
18 E aconteceu que, levantando eu a minha voz e gritando, ele deixou a sua roupa comigo, e fugiu para fora.
19 E aconteceu que, ouvindo o seu senhor as palavras de sua mulher, que lhe falava, dizendo: Conforme a estas mesmas palavras me fez teu servo, a sua ira se acendeu.
20 E o senhor de José o tomou, e o entregou na casa do cárcere, no lugar onde os presos do rei estavam encarcerados; assim esteve ali na casa do cárcere.
21 O Senhor, porém, estava com José, e estendeu sobre ele a sua benignidade, e deu-lhe graça aos olhos do carcereiro-mor.
22 E o carcereiro-mor entregou na mão de José todos os presos que estavam na casa do cárcere, e ele ordenava tudo o que se fazia ali.
23 E o carcereiro-mor não teve cuidado de nenhuma coisa que estava na mão dele, porquanto o Senhor estava com ele, e tudo o que fazia o Senhor prosperava.
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
2 And LORD was with Joseph. And he was a man who succeeds. And he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And his master saw that LORD was with him, and that LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered to him. And he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake. And the blessing of LORD was upon all that he had, in the house and in th
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he knew nothing [that was] with him, save the bread which he ate. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored.
7 And it came to pass, after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lay with me.
8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9 He is not greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not hearken to her, to lay by her, [or] to be with her.
11 And it came to pass, about this time, that he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there inside.
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lay with me. And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got out.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lay with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got out.
16 And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home.
17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou have brought to us, came in to me to mock me.
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me, that his wrath was kindled.
20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound. And he was there in the prison.
21 But LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. And whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23 The keeper of the prison did not look to anything that was under his hand, because LORD was with him, and that which he did, LORD made it prosper.
