Gênesis 39— comparação

1José foi levado para o Egito. Potifar, um oficial do Faraó, capitão da guarda, um egípcio, comprou-o das mãos dos ismaelitas que o tinham levado para lá.

2O SENHOR estava com José, e ele foi um homem próspero. Ele estava na casa do seu senhor, o egípcio.

3Seu senhor viu que o SENHOR estava com ele, e que o SENHOR fazia prosperar em sua mão tudo o que ele fazia.

4José encontrou favor a seus olhos. Ele o servia, e Potifar o colocou como administrador de sua casa, e entregou em suas mãos tudo o que tinha.

5Desde o momento em que o colocou como administrador em sua casa, e sobre tudo o que tinha, o SENHOR abençoou a casa do egípcio por causa de José. A bênção do SENHOR estava sobre tudo o que ele tinha, na casa e no campo.

6Ele deixou tudo o que tinha nas mãos de José. Ele não se preocupava com nada, exceto com a comida que comia.

7Depois destas coisas, a mulher do seu senhor pôs os olhos em José; e ela disse: “Deite-se comigo.”

8Mas ele recusou, e disse à mulher do seu senhor: “Eis que o meu senhor não sabe o que está comigo na casa, e ele colocou tudo o que tem em minhas mãos.

9Ninguém é maior nesta casa do que eu, e ele não me negou nada, a não ser você, porque você é a mulher dele. Como, então, eu poderia cometer essa grande maldade e pecar contra Deus?”

10Embora ela falasse com José dia após dia, ele não a ouvia para se deitar com ela, nem para estar com ela.

11Por esse tempo, ele entrou na casa para fazer o seu trabalho, e nenhum dos homens da casa estava lá dentro.

12Ela o agarrou pela sua veste, dizendo: “Deite-se comigo!”

13Quando ela viu que ele havia deixado a sua veste na mão dela, e fugido para fora,

14ela chamou os homens de sua casa, e lhes falou, dizendo: “Vejam, ele nos trouxe um hebreu para zombar de nós. Ele veio até mim para se deitar comigo, e eu gritei em alta voz.

15Quando ele ouviu que eu levantei a minha voz e gritei, ele deixou a sua veste ao meu lado, e fugiu para fora.”

16Ela guardou a veste dele ao seu lado, até que o senhor dele voltasse para casa.

17Ela lhe falou de acordo com estas palavras, dizendo: “O servo hebreu, que você nos trouxe, veio até mim para zombar de mim,

18e quando eu levantei a minha voz e gritei, ele deixou a sua veste ao meu lado, e fugiu para fora.”

19Quando o seu senhor ouviu as palavras de sua mulher, que ela lhe falou, dizendo: “Foi isso que o seu servo me fez”, a sua ira se acendeu.

20O senhor de José o pegou, e o lançou na prisão, o lugar onde os prisioneiros do rei ficavam presos, e ele ficou ali sob custódia.

21Mas o SENHOR estava com José, e lhe demonstrou bondade, e lhe concedeu favor aos olhos do carcereiro.

22O carcereiro entregou nas mãos de José todos os prisioneiros que estavam na prisão. Tudo o que era feito ali, era ele o responsável.

23O carcereiro não se preocupava com nada do que estava nas mãos de José, porque o SENHOR estava com ele; e tudo o que ele fazia, o SENHOR fazia prosperar.

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.

2Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh 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, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.
