Gênesis 41
|
| Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile; | Passados dois anos inteiros, Faraó sonhou que estava em pé junto ao rio Nilo; |
| And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass. | e eis que subiam do rio sete vacas, formosas à vista e gordas de carne, e pastavam no carriçal. |
| And after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows. | Após elas subiam do rio outras sete vacas, feias à vista e magras de carne; e paravam junto às outras vacas à beira do Nilo. |
| And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep. | E as vacas feias à vista e magras de carne devoravam as sete formosas à vista e gordas. Então Faraó acordou. |
| But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem. | Depois dormiu e tornou a sonhar; e eis que brotavam dum mesmo pé sete espigas cheias e boas. |
| And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind. | Após elas brotavam sete espigas miúdas e queimadas do vento oriental; |
| And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream. | e as espigas miúdas devoravam as sete espigas grandes e cheias. Então Faraó acordou, e eis que era um sonho. |
| And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it. | Pela manhã o seu espírito estava perturbado; pelo que mandou chamar todos os adivinhadores do Egito, e todos os seus sábios; e Faraó contou-lhes os seus sonhos, mas não havia quem lhos interpretasse. |
| Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now; | Então falou o copeiro-mor a Faraó, dizendo: Dos meus pecados me lembro hoje: |
| Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker; | Estando faraó mui indignado contra os seus servos, e pondo-me sob prisão na casa do captão da guarda, a mim e ao padeiro-mor. |
| And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense. | Então sonhamos um sonho na mesma noite, eu e ele, cada um conforme a interpretação do seu sonho sonhamos. |
| And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them. | Ora, estava ali conosco um mancebo hbreu, servo do capitão da guarda, ao qual contamos os nossos sonhos, e ele no-los interpretou, a cada um conforme o seu sonho. |
| And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging. | E como ele nos interpretou, assim mesmo foi feito: a mim me fez tornar ao meu estado, e a ele fez enforcar. |
| Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh. | Então enviou Faraó, e chamou a José, e o fizeram sair logo da cova; e barbeou-se e mudou os seus vestidos, e veio a Faraó. |
| And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you. | E Faraó disse a José: Eu sonhei um sonho, e ninguém há que o interprete; mas de ri ouvi dizer que quando ouves um sonho o interpretas. |
| Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh. | E respondeu José a Faraó, dizendo: Isso não está em mim; Deus dará resposta de paz a Faraó. |
| Then Pharaoh said, In my dream I was by the side of the Nile: | Então disse Faraó a José: Eis que em meu sonho estava em pé na praia do rio, |
| And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass; | E eis que subiam do rio sete vacas gordas de carne e formosas à vista, e pastavam no prado. |
| Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt; | E eis que outras sete vacas subiam após estas, muito feias à vista, e magras de carne; não tenho visto outras taus, quanto à fealdade, em toda a terra do Egito |
| And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first; | E as vacas magras e feias comiam as primeiras sete vacas gordas; |
| And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep. | E entravam em suas entranhas, mas não se conhecia que houvessem entrado em suas entranhas; porque o seu parecer era feio como no principio. Então acordei. |
| And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem: | Depois vi em meu sonho, e eis que dum mesmo pé subiam sete espigas cheias e boas; |
| And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them: | E eis que sete espigas secas, miúdas e queimadas do vento oriental brotavam após elas. |
| And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it. | E as sete espigas miudas devoravam as sete espigas boas. E eu disse-o aos magos, mas ninguém houve que mo interpretasse. |
| Then Joseph said, These two dreams have the same sense: God has made clear to Pharaoh what he is about to do. | Então disse José a Faraó: O sonho de Faraó é um só; o que Deus há de fazer, notificou-o a Faraó. |
| The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense. | As sete vacas formosas são sete anos; as sete espigas formosas também são sete anos; o sonho é um só. |
| The seven thin and poor-looking cows who came up after them are seven years; and the seven heads of grain, dry and wasted by the east wind, are seven years when there will be no food. | E as sete vacas magras e feias à vista, que subiam depois delas, são sete anos, como as sete espigas miúdas e queimadas do vento oriental; serão sete anos de fome. |
| As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do. | Esta é a palavra que tenho dito a Faraó; o que Deus há de fazer, mostrou-o a Faraó. |
| Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt; | E eis que vêm sete anos, e haverá grande fartura em toda a terra do Egito |
| And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years; | E depois deles levantar-se-ão sete anos de fome, e toda aquela fartura será esquecida na terra do Egito, e a fome consumirá a terra: |
| And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter. | e não será conhecida a abundância na terra, por causa daquela fome que seguirá; porquanto será gravíssima. |
| And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about. | Ora, se o sonho foi duplicado a Faraó, é porque esta coisa é determinada por Deus, e ele brevemente a fará. |
| And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority over the land of Egypt. | Portanto, proveja-se agora Faraó de um homem entendido e sábio, e o ponha sobre a terra do Egito. |
| Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years. | Faça isto Faraó: nomeie administradores sobre a terra, que tomem a quinta parte dos produtos da terra do Egito nos sete anos de fartura; |
| And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it. | e ajuntem eles todo o mantimento destes bons anos que vêm, e amontoem trigo debaixo da mão de Faraó, para mantimento nas cidades e o guardem; |
| And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food. | assim será o mantimento para provimento da terra, para os sete anos de fome, que haverá na terra do Egito; para que a terra não pereça de fome. |
| And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants. | Esse parecer foi bom aos olhos de Faraó, e aos olhos de todos os seus servos. |
| Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God? | Perguntou, pois, Faraó a seus servos: Poderíamos achar um homem como este, em quem haja o espírito de Deus? |
| And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Seeing that God has made all this clear to you, there is no other man of such wisdom and good sense as you: | Depois disse Faraó a José: Porquanto Deus te fez saber tudo isto, ninguém há tão entendido e sábio como tu. |
| You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you. | Tu estarás sobre a minha casa, e por tua voz se governará todo o meu povo; somente no trono eu serei maior que tu. |
| And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt. | Disse mais Faraó a José: Vê, eu te hei posto sobre toda a terra do Egito. |
| Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round his neck; | E Faraó tirou da mão o seu anel-sinete e pô-lo na mão de José, vestiu-o de traje de linho fino, e lhe pôs ao pescoço um colar de ouro. |
| And he made him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. | Ademais, fê-lo subir ao seu segundo carro, e clamavam diante dele: Ajoelhai-vos. Assim Faraó o constituiu sobre toda a terra do Egito. |
| Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt. | Ainda disse Faraó a José: Eu sou Faraó; sem ti, pois, ninguém levantará a mão ou o pé em toda a terra do Egito. |
| And Pharaoh gave Joseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, the priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph went through all the land of Egypt. | Faraó chamou a José Zafnate-Paneã, e deu-lhe por mulher Asenate, filha de Potífera, sacerdote de Om. Depois saiu José por toda a terra do Egito. |
| Now Joseph was thirty years old when he came before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before the face of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt. | Ora, José era da idade de trinta anos, quando se apresentou a Faraó, rei do Egito. E saiu José da presença de Faraó e passou por toda a terra do Egito. |
| Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses. | Durante os sete anos de fartura a terra produziu a mancheias; |
| And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town. | e José ajuntou todo o mantimento dos sete anos, que houve na terra do Egito, e o guardou nas cidades; o mantimento do campo que estava ao redor de cada cidade, guardou-o dentro da mesma. |
| So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured. | Assim José ajuntou muitíssimo trigo, como a areia do mar, até que cessou de contar; porque não se podia mais contá-lo. |
| And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth. | Antes que viesse o ano da fome, nasceram a José dois filhos, que lhe deu Asenate, filha de Potífera, sacerdote de Om. |
| And to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house. | E chamou José ao primogênito Manassés; porque disse: Deus me fez esquecer de todo o meu trabalho, e de toda a casa de meu pai. |
| And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow. | Ao segundo chamou Efraim; porque disse: Deus me fez crescer na terra da minha aflição. |
| And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end. | Acabaram-se, então, os sete anos de fartura que houve na terra do Egito; |
| Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread. | e começaram a vir os sete anos de fome, como José tinha dito; e havia fome em todas as terras; porém, em toda a terra do Egito havia pão. |
| And when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it. | Depois toda a terra do Egito teve fome, e o povo clamou a Faraó por pão; e Faraó disse a todos os egípcios: Ide a José; o que ele vos disser, fazei. |
| And everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt. | De modo que, havendo fome sobre toda a terra, abriu José todos os depósitos, e vendia aos egípcios; porque a fome prevaleceu na terra do Egito. |
| And all lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great over all the earth. | Também de todas as terras vinham ao Egito, para comprarem de José; porquanto a fome prevaleceu em todas as terras. |
