Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelled in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
E Jacob habitou na terra das peregrinações de seu pae, na terra de Canaan.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought to his father their evil report.
Estas são as gerações de Jacob. Sendo José de dezesete annos, apascentava as ovelhas com seus irmãos, e estava este mancebo com os filhos de Bilhah, e com os filhos de Zilpah, mulheres de seu pae; e José trazia uma má fama d'elles a seu pae.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
E Israel amava a José mais do que a todos os seus filhos, porque era filho da sua velhice; e fez-lhe uma tunica de varias côres.
4 And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Vendo pois seus irmãos que seu pae o amava mais do que a todos os seus irmãos, aborreceram-o, e não podiam fallar com elle pacificamente.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brothers: and they hated him yet the more.
Sonhou tambem José um sonho, que contou a seus irmãos: por isso o aborreciam ainda mais.
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
E disse-lhes: Ouvi, peço-vos, este sonho, que tenho sonhado:
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, see, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Eis que estavamos atando mólhos no meio do campo, e eis que o meu mólho se levantava, e tambem ficava em pé, e eis que os vossos mólhos o rodeavam, e se inclinavam ao meu mólho.
8 And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? or shall you indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Então lhe disseram seus irmãos: Tu pois devéras reinarás sobre nós? Por isso tanto mais o aborreciam por seus sonhos e por suas palavras.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brothers, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
E sonhou ainda outro sonho, e o contou a seus irmãos, e disse: Eis que ainda sonhei um sonho; e eis que o sol, e a lua, e onze estrellas se inclinavam a mim.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth?
E contando-o a seu pae e a seus irmãos, reprehendeu-o seu pae, e disse-lhe: Que sonho é este que sonhaste? porventura viremos, eu e tua mãe, e teus irmãos, para inclinar-nos a ti em terra?
11 And his brothers envied him; but his father observed the saying.
Seus irmãos pois o invejavam; seu pae porém guardava este negocio no seu coração.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
E seus irmãos foram apascentar o rebanho de seu pae, junto de Sichem.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brothers feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here am I.
Disse pois Israel a José: Não apascentam os teus irmãos junto de Sichem? vem, e enviar-te-hei a elles. E elle lhe disse: Eis-me aqui.
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray you, see whether it be well with your brothers, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
E elle lhe disse: Ora vae-te, vê como estão teus irmãos, e como está o rebanho, e traze-me resposta. Assim o enviou do valle de Hebron, e veiu a Sichem.
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seek you?
E achou-o um varão, porque eis que andava errado pelo campo, e perguntou-lhe o varão, dizendo: Que procuras?
16 And he said, I seek my brothers: tell me, I pray you, where they feed their flocks.
E elle disse: Procuro meus irmãos; dize-me, peço-te, onde elles apascentam.
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
E disse aquelle varão: Foram-se d'aqui; porque ouvi-lhes dizer: Vamos a Dothan. José pois seguiu atraz de seus irmãos, e achou-os em Dothan.
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him.
E viram-o de longe, e, antes que chegasse a elles, conspiraram contra elle, para o matarem.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
E disseram um ao outro: Eis lá vem o sonhador-mór!
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast has devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Vinde pois agora, e matemel-o, e lancemol-o n'uma d'estas covas, e diremos: Uma besta fera o comeu; e veremos que será dos seus sonhos.
21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
E ouvindo-o Ruben, livrou-o das suas mãos, e disse: Não lhe tiremos a vida.
22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand on him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
Tambem lhes disse Ruben: Não derrameis sangue; lançae-o n'esta cova, que está no deserto, e não lanceis mãos n'elle; para livral-o das suas mãos, e para tornal-o a seu pae.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him;
E aconteceu que, chegando José a seus irmãos, tiraram a José a sua tunica, a tunica de varias côres, que trazia.
24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
E tomaram-o, e lançaram-o na cova; porém a cova estava vasia, não havia agua n'ella.
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Depois assentaram-se a comer pão; e levantaram os seus olhos, e olharam, e eis que uma companhia de ishmaelitas vinha de Gilead; e seus camelos traziam especiarias, e balsamo, e myrrha, e iam leval-os ao Egypto.
26 And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Então Judah disse aos seus irmãos: Que proveito haverá que matemos a nosso irmão, e escondamos a sua morte?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be on him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brothers were content.
Vinde, e vendamol-o a estes ishmaelitas, e não seja nossa mão sobre elle; porque elle é nosso irmão, nossa carne. E seus irmãos obedeceram.
28 Then there passed by Midianites merchants; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Passando pois os mercadores midianitas, tiraram, e alçaram a José da cova, e venderam José por vinte moedas de prata aos ishmaelitas, os quaes levaram José ao Egypto.
29 And Reuben returned to the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
Tornando pois Ruben á cova, eis que José não estava na cova; então rasgou os seus vestidos,
30 And he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?
E tornou a seus irmãos, e disse: O moço não apparece; e eu aonde irei?
31 And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
Então tomaram a tunica de José, e mataram um cabrito, e tingiram a tunica no sangue,
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be your son’s coat or no.
E enviaram a tunica de varias côres, e fizeram leval-a a seu pae, e disseram: Temos achado esta tunica; conhece agora se esta será ou não a tunica de teu filho.
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
E conheceu-a, e disse: É a tunica de meu filho; uma besta fera o comeu; certamente é despedaçado José.
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Então Jacob rasgou os seus vestidos, e poz sacco sobre os seus lombos, e lamentou a seu filho muitos dias.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave to my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
E levantaram-se todos os seus filhos e todas as suas filhas, para o consolarem; recusou porém ser consolado, e disse: Porquanto com chôro hei de descer ao meu filho até á sepultura. Assim o chorou seu pae (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
E os midianitas venderam-o no Egypto a Potifar, eunucho de Pharaó, capitão da guarda.
