Gênesis 50
|
And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him. | Então José se lançou sobre o rosto de seu pai, chorou sobre ele e o beijou. |
And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so. | E José ordenou a seus servos, os médicos, que embalsamassem a seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram a Israel. |
And the forty days needed for making the body ready went by: and there was weeping for him among the Egyptians for seventy days. | Cumpriram-se-lhe quarenta dias, porque assim se cumprem os dias de embalsamação; e os egípcios o choraram setenta dias. |
And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh: | Passados, pois, os dias de seu choro, disse José à casa de Faraó: Se agora tenho achado graça aos vossos olhos, rogo-vos que faleis aos ouvidos de Faraó, dizendo: |
My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again. | Meu pai me fez jurar, dizendo: Eis que eu morro; em meu sepulcro, que cavei para mim na terra de Canaã, ali me sepultarás. Agora, pois, deixa-me subir, peço-te, e sepultar meu pai; então voltarei. |
And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him. | Respondeu Faraó: Sobe, e sepulta teu pai, como ele te fez jurar. |
So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt, | Subiu, pois, José para sepultar a seu pai; e com ele subiram todos os servos de Faraó, os anciãos da sua casa, e todos os anciãos da terra do Egito, |
And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen. | como também toda a casa de José, e seus irmãos, e a casa de seu pai; somente deixaram na terra de Gósen os seus pequeninos, os seus rebanhos e o seu gado. |
And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army. | E subiram com ele tanto carros como gente a cavalo; de modo que o concurso foi mui grande. |
And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days. | Chegando eles à eira de Atade, que está além do Jordão, fizeram ali um grande e forte pranto; assim fez José por seu pai um grande pranto por sete dias. |
And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan. | Os moradores da terra, os cananeus, vendo o pranto na eira de Atade, disseram: Grande pranto é este dos egípcios; pelo que o lugar foi chamado Abel-Mizraim, o qual está além do Jordão. |
So his sons did as he had given them orders to do: | Assim os filhos de Jacó lhe fizeram como ele lhes ordenara; |
For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre. | pois o levaram para a terra de Canaã, e o sepultaram na cova do campo de Macpela, que Abraão tinha comprado com o campo, como propriedade de sepultura, a Efrom, o heteu, em frente de Manre. |
And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt. | Depois de haver sepultado seu pai, José voltou para o Egito, ele, seus irmãos, e todos os que com ele haviam subido para sepultar seu pai. |
Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him. | Vendo os irmãos de José que seu pai estava morto, disseram: Porventura José nos odiará e nos retribuirá todo o mal que lhe fizemos. |
So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying, | Então mandaram dizer a José: Teu pai, antes da sua morte, nos ordenou: |
You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping. | Assim direis a José: Perdoa a transgressão de teus irmãos, e o seu pecado, porque te fizeram mal. Agora, pois, rogamos-te que perdoes a transgressão dos servos do Deus de teu pai. E José chorou quando eles lhe falavam. |
Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants. | Depois vieram também seus irmãos, prostraram-se diante dele e disseram: Eis que nós somos teus servos. |
And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God? | Respondeu-lhes José: Não temais; acaso estou eu em lugar de Deus? |
As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today. | Vós, na verdade, intentastes o mal contra mim; Deus, porém, o intentou para o bem, para fazer o que se vê neste dia, isto é, conservar muita gente com vida. |
So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words. | Agora, pois, não temais; eu vos sustentarei, a vós e a vossos filhinhos. Assim ele os consolou, e lhes falou ao coração. |
Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten. | José, pois, habitou no Egito, ele e a casa de seu pai; e viveu cento e dez anos. |
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees. | E viu José os filhos de Efraim, da terceira geração; também os filhos de Maquir, filho de Manassés, nasceram sobre os joelhos de José. |
Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. | Depois disse José a seus irmãos: Eu morro; mas Deus certamente vos visitará, e vos fará subir desta terra para a terra que jurou a Abraão, a Isaque e a Jacó. |
Then Joseph made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly give effect to his word, and you are to take my bones away from here. | E José fez jurar os filhos de Israel, dizendo: Certamente Deus vos visitará, e fareis transportar daqui os meus ossos. |
So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt. | Assim morreu José, tendo cento e dez anos de idade; e o embalsamaram e o puseram num caixão no Egito. |
