Genesis 45
1 Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
Não podia já José se conter diante de todos os que estavam ao seu lado, e clamou: Fazei sair de minha presença a todos. E não ficou ninguém com ele, ao dar-se a conhecer José a seus irmãos.
2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
Então se deu a chorar por voz em grito; e ouviram os egípcios, e ouviu também a casa de Faraó.
3 And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
E disse José a seus irmãos: Eu sou José: vive ainda meu pai? E seus irmãos não puderam lhe responder, porque estavam perturbados diante dele.
4 And he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Então disse José a seus irmãos: Achegai-vos agora a mim. E eles se achegaram. E ele disse: Eu sou José vosso irmão o que vendestes para o Egito.
5 Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
Agora, pois, não vos entristeçais, nem vos pese de haver me vendido aqui; que para preservação de vida me enviou Deus diante de vós:
6 For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.
Que já houve dois anos de fome em meio da terra, e ainda restam cinco anos em que nem haverá arada nem colheita.
7 And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
E Deus me enviou adiante de vós, para que vós restásseis na terra, e para vos dar vida por meio de grande salvamento.
8 I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
Assim, pois, não me enviastes vós aqui, mas sim Deus, que me pôs por pai de Faraó, e por senhor de toda sua casa, e por governador de toda a terra do Egito.
9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
Apressai-vos, ide a meu pai e dizei-lhe: Assim diz teu filho José: Deus me pôs por senhor de todo Egito; vem a mim, não te detenhas:
10 and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
E habitarás na terra de Gósen, e estarás perto de mim, tu e teus filhos, e os filhos de teus filhos, teus gados e tuas vacas, e tudo o que tens.
11 And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
E ali te alimentarei, pois ainda restam cinco anos de fome, para que não pereças de pobreza tu e tua casa, e tudo o que tens:
12 Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
E eis que, vossos olhos veem, e os olhos de meu irmão Benjamim, que meu boca vos fala.
13 You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
Fareis pois saber a meu pai toda minha glória no Egito, e tudo o que vistes: e apressai-vos, e trazei a meu pai aqui.
14 And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
E lançou-se sobre o pescoço de Benjamim seu irmão, e chorou; e também Benjamim chorou sobre seu pescoço.
15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
E beijou a todos os seus irmãos, e chorou sobre eles: e depois seus irmãos falaram com ele.
16 And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
E ouviu-se a notícia na casa de Faraó, dizendo: Os irmãos de José vieram. E pareceu bem aos olhos de Faraó e de seus servos.
17 And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
E disse Faraó a José: Dize a teus irmãos: Fazei isto: carregai vossos animais, e ide, voltai à terra de Canaã;
18 and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.’”
E tomai a vosso pai e vossas famílias, e vinde a mim, que eu vos darei o bom da terra do Egito e comereis a gordura da terra.
19 “And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
E tu manda: Fazei isto: tomai para vós da terra do Egito carros para vossos filhos e vossas mulheres; e tomai a vosso pai, e vinde.
20 You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’”
E não se vos dê nada de vossos pertences, porque o bem da terra do Egito será vosso.
21 And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the journey.
E fizeram-no assim os filhos de Israel: e deu-lhes José carros conforme a ordem de Faraó, e deu alimentos para o caminho.
22 Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
A cada um de todos eles deu mudas de roupas, e a Benjamim deu trezentas peças de prata, e cinco mudas de roupas.
23 And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
E a seu pai enviou isto: dez asnos carregados do melhor do Egito, e dez asnas carregadas de trigo, e pão e comida, para seu pai no caminho.
24 Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
E despediu a seus irmãos, e foram-se. E ele lhes disse: Não brigais pelo caminho.
25 And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
E subiram do Egito, e chegaram à terra de Canaã a Jacó seu pai.
26 And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.
E deram-lhe as novas, dizendo: José vive ainda; e ele é senhor toda a terra do Egito. E seu coração se desmaiou; pois não cria neles.
27 To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,
E eles lhe contaram todas as palavras de José, que ele lhes havia falado; e vendo ele os carros que José enviava para levá-lo, o espírito de Jacó seu pai reviveu.
28 and he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Então disse Israel: Basta; José meu filho vive ainda: irei, e lhe verei antes que eu morra.
