7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and said, Lie with me!

8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master takes cognizance of nothing with me: what is in the house, and all that he has, he has given into my hand.

9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he withheld anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; and how should I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

10 And it came to pass as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he hearkened not to her, to lie with her {and} to be with her,

11 that on a certain day he went into the house to do his business, and there was none of the men of the house there in the house.

12 Then she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran out.

7 E aconteceu, depois de tudo isto, que a mulher de seu senhor lançou seus olhos em José e disse-lhe: "Dorme comigo."

8 Mas ele recusou: "Meu senhor, disse-lhe ele, não me pede conta alguma do que se faz na casa, e confiou-me todos os seus bens.

9 Não há maior do que eu nesta casa; ele nada me interdisse, exceto tu, que és sua mulher. Como poderia eu cometer um tão grande crime e pecar contra Deus?"

10 Em vão se esforçava ela todos os dias, falando a José; ele não consentia em dormir com ela e unir-se a ela.

11 Certo dia, tendo ele entrado na casa para fazer seus serviços, e não se encontrando ali ninguém da casa,

12 ela segurou-o pelo manto, dizendo: "Dorme comigo!" Mas José, largando-lhe o manto nas mãos, fugiu.
