1 ULB José foi levado ao Egito. Potifar, um oficial de Faraó que era capitão da guarda e egípcio, comprou-o dos ismaelitas que o haviam levado para lá. BSB BSB: Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2 ULB Yahweh estava com José e este tornou-se próspero. José então passou a morar com seu senhor egípcio. BSB BSB: And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3 ULB Seu senhor viu que Yahweh estava com ele e que Yahweh prosperava tudo que ele fazia. BSB BSB: When his master saw that the LORD was with him and made him prosper in all he did,
4 ULB José encontrou favor diante dos olhos de seu senhor, a quem servia. Potifar o fez administrador de sua casa, e colocou sob seus cuidados tudo que possuía. BSB BSB: Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and entrusted him with everything he owned.
5 ULB Desde que o colocou como administrador de sua casa e de tudo o que possuía, Yahweh abençoou o lar do egípcio por causa de José. A benção de Yahweh estava em todas as coisas que Potifar tinha em sua casa e em seu campo. BSB BSB: From the time that he put Joseph in charge of his household and all he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household on account of him. The LORD’s blessing was on everything he owned, both in his house and in his field.
6 ULB Potifar pôs tudo sobre os cuidados de José. Ele não tinha que pensar sobre nada exceto sobre a comida que comia. José era formoso de porte e de aparência. BSB BSB: So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome,
7 ULB E aconteceu que, depois disso, a mulher de seu senhor desejou José. Ela disse: "Deita-te comigo". BSB BSB: and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
8 ULB Mas ele recusou e disse para ela: "Escuta: meu senhor não precisa se preocupar sobre o que eu faço na casa. Ele pôs tudo sob meus cuidados. BSB BSB: But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.
9 ULB Ninguém é superior a mim nesta casa. Ele não vedou nada a mim, a não ser a ti, porque tu és a mulher dele. Como poderia eu cometer este grande mal e pecar perante Deus?" BSB BSB: No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”
10 ULB Ela falou com José dia após dia, mas ele se recusava a dormir ou estar com ela. BSB BSB: Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
11 ULB Mas, certo dia, ele chegou à casa onde trabalhava e nenhum dos que ali trabalhavam estavam lá. BSB BSB: One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
12 ULB Ela o pegou pelas roupas e disse: "Deita-te comigo". Ele, porém, deixando suas roupas nas mãos dela, escapou e fugiu para fora. BSB BSB: She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
13 ULB Quando ela viu que ele tinha deixado suas roupas em suas mãos e fugiu para fora, BSB BSB: When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14 ULB chamou um dos homens da casa e disse para ele: "Vede, Potifar trouxe um hebreu para nos insultar. Ele veio para deitar-se comigo e eu gritei. BSB BSB: she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.
15 ULB Quando me escutou gritando, deixou suas roupas comigo, fugiu e foi para fora". BSB BSB: When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 ULB Ela deixou a roupa dele perto de si até que o seu senhor chegou em casa. BSB BSB: So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
17 ULB E deu para ele essa explicação: "O servo hebreu que nos trouxeste veio para me insultar. BSB BSB: Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
18 ULB Quando eu gritei, ele deixou suas roupas comigo e fugiu para fora". BSB BSB: but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
19 ULB Então, quando o seu senhor ouviu a explicação da mulher: "Foi isso o que seu servo fez comigo", Potifar ficou muito bravo. BSB BSB: When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.
20 ULB O senhor de José o pegou e o colocou na prisão, um lugar onde ficavam confinados os prisioneiros do Rei. Ele ficou na prisão. BSB BSB: So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,
21 ULB Mas Yahweh estava com José e era fiel a ele e o favoreceu aos olhos do carcereiro. BSB BSB: the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
22 ULB O carcereiro confiou os prisioneiros a José para que cuidasse deles. Qualquer coisa que acontecesse, José estava encarregado disso. BSB BSB: And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.
23 ULB O carcereiro não se preocupava com nada que estava sob seus cuidados porque Yahweh estava com José. Qualquer coisa que fizesse, Yahweh o prosperava. BSB BSB: The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
