Genesis 39
39
1 Meanwhile, Joseph was led into Egypt. And Putiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, a leader of the army, an Egyptian man, purchased him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, by whom he was brought.
2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a man who prospered in everything that he did. And he lived in the house of his lord,
3 who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and that all the things that were done by him were directed by his hand.
4 And Joseph found favor in the sight of his lord, and he ministered to him. And, having been placed in charge of everything by him, he governed the house that was entrusted to him and all the things that had been delivered to him.
5 And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian, because of Joseph, and he multiplied all his substance, as much in the buildings, as in the fields.
6 Neither did he know anything other than the bread that he ate. Now Joseph was beautiful in form, and stately in appearance.
7 And so, after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, "Sleep with me."
8 And without consenting at all to the wicked act, he said to her: "Behold, my lord has delivered all things to me, and he does not know what he has in his own house.
9 Neither is there anything which is not in my power, or that he has not delivered to me, except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this evil act and sin against my God?"
10 With such words as these, throughout each day, the woman was pestering the young man, and he was refusing the adultery.
11 Then it happened, on a certain day, that Joseph entered the house, and he was doing something, without any witnesses.
12 And she, grasping the hem of his garment, said, "Sleep with me." But he, leaving behind the cloak in her hand, fled and went outside.
13 And when the woman saw the garment in her hands and herself being treated with disrespect,
14 she called to herself the men of her house, and she said to them: "Lo, he has brought in a Hebrew man to abuse us. He entered toward me, in order to join with me; and when I had shouted out,
15 and he had heard my voice, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside."
16 As a proof, therefore, of her fidelity, she retained the cloak, and she showed it to her husband, when he returned home.
17 And she said: "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.
18 And when he had heard me cry out, he left behind the cloak that I held, and he fled outside."
19 His lord, upon hearing these things, and having excessive trust in the words of his mate, was very angry.
20 And he delivered Joseph into prison, where the prisoners of the king were kept, and he was enclosed in that place.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and, having mercy on him, he gave him favor in the sight of the leader of the prison,
22 who delivered into his hand all the prisoners who were held in custody. And whatever was done, was under him.
23 Neither did he himself know anything, having entrusted all things to him. For the Lord was with him, and he directed everything that he did.

Génesis 39
39
José y la esposa de Potifar
1Cuando José fue llevado a Egipto, los ismaelitas que lo habían trasladado allá lo vendieron a Potifar, un egipcio que era oficial del faraón y capitán de su guardia.
2Ahora bien, el Señor estaba con José y las cosas le salían muy bien. Mientras José vivía en la casa de su amo egipcio, 3este se dio cuenta de que el Señor estaba con José y lo hacía prosperar en todo. 4José se ganó la confianza de Potifar, y este lo nombró mayordomo de toda su casa y le confió la administración de todos sus bienes. 5Por causa de José, el Señor bendijo la casa del egipcio Potifar a partir del momento en que puso a José a cargo de su casa y de todos sus bienes. La bendición del Señor se extendió sobre todo lo que tenía el egipcio, tanto en la casa como en el campo. 6Por esto Potifar dejó todo a cargo de José y tan solo se preocupaba por lo que tenía que comer.
José tenía muy buen físico y era muy atractivo. 7Después de algún tiempo, la esposa de su amo empezó a mirarlo con deseo y le propuso:
—¡Acuéstate conmigo!
8Pero José no quiso saber nada, sino que contestó:
—Mire, señora: mi amo ya no tiene que preocuparse de nada en la casa, porque todo me lo ha confiado a mí. 9En esta casa no hay nadie más importante que yo. Mi patrón no me ha negado nada, excepto usted, que es su esposa. ¿Cómo podría yo cometer tal maldad y pecar así contra Dios?
10Y por más que ella lo acosaba día tras día para que se acostara con ella y le hiciera compañía, José se mantuvo firme en su rechazo.
11Un día, en un momento en que todo el personal de servicio se encontraba ausente, José entró en la casa para cumplir con sus responsabilidades. 12Entonces la mujer de Potifar lo agarró del manto y rogó: «¡Acuéstate conmigo!».
Pero José, dejando el manto en manos de ella, salió corriendo de la casa.
13Al ver ella que él había dejado el manto en sus manos y había salido corriendo, 14llamó a los siervos de la casa y les dijo: «¡Miren!, el hebreo que nos trajo mi esposo solo ha venido a burlarse de nosotros. Entró a la casa con la intención de acostarse conmigo, pero yo grité con todas mis fuerzas. 15En cuanto me oyó gritar, salió corriendo y dejó su manto a mi lado».
16La mujer guardó el manto de José hasta que su marido volvió a su casa. 17Entonces le contó la misma historia: «El esclavo hebreo que nos trajiste quiso burlarse de mí. 18Pero en cuanto grité con todas mis fuerzas, salió corriendo y dejó su manto a mi lado».
19Cuando el amo de José escuchó de labios de su mujer cómo la había tratado el esclavo, se enfureció 20y mandó que echaran a José en la cárcel donde estaban los presos del rey.
Pero aun en la cárcel 21el Señor estaba con él y no dejó de mostrarle su amor. Hizo que se ganara la confianza del guardia de la cárcel, 22el cual puso a José a cargo de todos los prisioneros y de todo lo que allí se hacía. 23Como el Señor estaba con José y hacía prosperar todo lo que él hacía, el guardia de la cárcel no se preocupaba de nada de lo que dejaba en sus manos.
