Genesis 41
1 After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
E aconteceu que, ao fim de dois annos inteiros, Pharaó sonhou, e eis que estava em pé junto ao rio,
2 when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
E eis que subiam do rio sete vaccas, formosas á vista e gordas de carne, e pastavam no prado.
3 After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.
E eis que subiam do rio após ellas outras sete vaccas, feias á vista e magras de carne; e paravam junto ás outras vaccas na praia do rio.
4 And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
E as vaccas feias á vista, e magras de carne, comiam as sete vaccas formosas á vista e gordas. Então acordou Pharaó.
5 but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
Depois dormiu, e sonhou outra vez, e eis que brotavam d'uma cana sete espigas cheias e boas,
6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
E eis que sete espigas miudas, e queimadas do vento oriental, brotavam após ellas.
7 And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
E as espigas miudas devoravam as sete espigas grandes e cheias. Então acordou Pharaó, e eis que era um sonho.
8 In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
E aconteceu que pela manhã o seu espirito perturbou-se, e enviou e chamou todos os adivinhadores do Egypto, e todos os seus sabios; e Pharaó contou-lhes os seus sonhos, mas ninguem havia que os interpretasse a Pharaó.
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.
Então fallou o copeiro-mór a Pharaó, dizendo: Dos meus peccados me lembro hoje:
10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.
Estando Pharaó mui indignado contra os seus servos, e pondo-me em guarda na casa do capitão da guarda, a mim e ao padeiro-mór,
11 One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
Então sonhámos um sonho na mesma noite, eu e elle, cada um conforme a interpretação do seu sonho sonhámos.
12 Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.
E estava ali comnosco um mancebo hebreu, servo do capitão da guarda, e contámos-lh'os, e interpretou-nos os nossos sonhos, a cada um os interpretou conforme o seu sonho.
13 And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”
E como elle nos interpretou, assim mesmo foi feito: a mim me fez tornar ao meu estado, e a elle fez enforcar.
14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the dungeon. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.
Então enviou Pharaó, e chamou a José, e o fizeram sair logo da cova; e barbeou-se e mudou os seus vestidos, e veiu a Pharaó.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
E Pharaó disse a José: Eu sonhei um sonho, e ninguem ha que o interprete; mas de ti ouvi dizer que quando ouves um sonho o interpretas.
16 “I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”
E respondeu José a Pharaó, dizendo: Sem mim é isso: Deus responderá paz a Pharaó.
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
Então disse Pharaó a José: Eis que em meu sonho estava eu em pé na praia do rio
18 when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
E eis que subiam do rio sete vaccas gordas de carne e formosas á vista, e pastavam no prado.
19 After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
E eis que outras sete vaccas subiam após estas, muito feias á vista, e magras de carne; não tenho visto outras taes, emquanto á fealdade, em toda a terra do Egypto.
20 Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
E as vaccas magras e feias comiam os primeiras sete vaccas gordas;
21 When they had devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as ugly as it had been before. Then I awoke.
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.
22 In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
Depois vi em meu sonho, e eis que d'uma cana subiam sete espigas cheias e boas;
23 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
E eis que sete espigas seccas, miudas e queimadas do vento oriental, brotavam após ellas.
24 And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.”
E as sete espigas miudas devoravam as sete espigas boas. E eu disse-o aos magos, mas ninguem houve que m'o interpretasse.
25 At this, Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Então disse José a Pharaó: O sonho de Pharaó é um só; o que Deus ha de fazer, notificou a Pharaó.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.
As sete vaccas formosas são sete annos; as sete espigas formosas tambem são sete annos: o sonho é um só
27 Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.
E as sete vaccas feias á vista e magras, que subiam depois d'ellas, são sete annos; e as sete espigas miudas e queimadas do vento oriental, serão sete annos de fome.
28 It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Esta é a palavra que tenho dito a Pharaó; o que Deus ha de fazer, mostrou-o a Pharaó.
29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
E eis que veem sete annos, e haverá grande fartura em toda a terra do Egypto.
30 but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will devastate the land.
E depois d'elles levantar-se-hão sete annos de fome, e toda aquella fartura será esquecida na terra do Egypto, e a fome consumirá a terra;
31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.
E não será conhecida a abundancia na terra, por causa d'aquella fome que haverá depois; porquanto será gravissima.
32 Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.
E que o sonho foi duplicado duas vezes a Pharaó, é porquanto esta coisa é determinada de Deus, e Deus se apressa a fazel-a.
33 Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
Portanto Pharaó se proveja agora d'um varão entendido e sabio, e o ponha sobre a terra do Egypto:
34 Let Pharaoh take action and appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
Faça isso Pharaó, e ponha governadores sobre a terra, e tome a quinta parte da terra do Egypto nos sete annos de fartura,
35 Under the authority of Pharaoh, let them collect all the excess food from these good years, that they may come and lay up the grain to be preserved as food in the cities.
E ajuntem toda a comida d'estes bons annos, que veem, e amontoem o trigo debaixo da mão de Pharaó, para mantimento nas cidades, e o guardem;
36 This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine.”
Assim será o mantimento para provimento da terra, para os sete annos de fome, que haverá na terra do Egypto; para que a terra não pereça de fome.
37 This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
E esta palavra foi boa aos olhos de Pharaó, e aos olhos de todos os seus servos.
38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”
E disse Pharaó a seus servos: Achariamos um varão como este, em quem haja o espirito de Deus?
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
Depois disse Pharaó a José: Pois que Deus te fez saber tudo isto, ninguem ha tão entendido e sabio como tu
40 You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Tu estarás sobre a minha casa, e por tua bocca se governará todo o meu povo, sómente no throno eu serei maior que tu
41 Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”
Disse mais Pharaó a José: Vês aqui te tenho posto sobre toda a terra do Egypto.
42 Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.
E tirou Pharaó o seu annel da sua mão, e o poz na mão de José, e o fez vestir de vestidos de linho fino, e poz um collar d'oiro no seu pescoço,
43 He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
E o fez subir no segundo carro que tinha, e clamavam diante d'elle: Ajoelhae; assim o poz sobre toda a terra do Egypto.
44 And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot.”
E disse Pharaó a José: Eu sou Pharaó; porém sem ti ninguem levantará a sua mão ou o seu pé em toda a terra do Egypto
45 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.
E chamou Pharaó o nome de José Zaphnath-paneah, e deu-lhe por mulher a Asenath, filha de Potiphera, sacerdote de On; e saiu José por toda a terra do Egypto.
46 Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.
E José era da edade de trinta annos quando esteve diante da face de Pharaó, rei do Egypto. E saiu José da face de Pharaó, e passou por toda a terra do Egypto.
47 During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.
E a terra produziu nos sete annos de fartura a mãos cheias.
48 During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.
E ajuntou todo o mantimento dos sete annos, que houve na terra do Egypto, e guardou o mantimento nas cidades, pondo nas cidades o mantimento do campo que estava ao redor de cada cidade.
49 So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.
Assim ajuntou José muitissimo trigo, como a areia do mar, até que cessou de contar; porquanto não havia numeração.
50 Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
E nasceram a José dois filhos (antes que viesse um anno de fome), que lhe pariu Asenath, filha de Potiphera, sacerdote de On.
51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”
E chamou José o nome do primogenito Manasseh; porque disse: Deus me fez esquecer de todo o meu trabalho, e de toda a casa de meu pae.
52 And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
E o nome do segundo chamou Ephraim; porque disse: Deus me fez crescer na terra da minha afflicção.
53 When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Então acabaram-se os sete annos de fartura que havia na terra do Egypto,
54 the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.
E começaram a vir os sete annos de fome, como José tinha dito; e havia fome em todas as terras, mas em toda a terra do Egypto havia pão.
55 When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
E tendo toda a terra do Egypto fome, clamou o povo a Pharaó por pão; e Pharaó disse a todos os egypcios: Ide a José; o que elle vos disser, fazei.
56 When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Havendo pois fome sobre toda a terra, abriu José tudo em que havia mantimento, e vendeu aos egypcios; porque a fome prevaleceu na terra de Egypto.
57 And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
E todas as terras vinham ao Egypto, para comprar de José; porquanto a fome prevaleceu em todas as terras.
