< Genesis 41 >
1 And it came to pass after two full years that Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.
E aconteceu que, ao fim de dois annos inteiros, Pharaó sonhou, e eis que estava em pé junto ao rio,
2 And behold, there came up as it were out of the river seven cows, fair in appearance, and choice of flesh, and they fed on the sedge.
E eis que subiam do rio sete vaccas, formosas á vista e gordas de carne, e pastavam no prado.
3 And other seven cows came up after these out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, and fed by the [other] 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 seven ill-favoured and lean cows devoured the seven well-favoured and choice-fleshed cows; and Pharao awoke.
E as vaccas feias á vista, e magras de carne, comiam as sete vaccas formosas á vista e gordas. Então acordou Pharaó.
5 And he dreamed again. And, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, choice and good.
Depois dormiu, e sonhou outra vez, e eis que brotavam d'uma cana sete espigas cheias e boas,
6 And, behold, seven ears thin and blasted with the wind, grew up after them.
E eis que sete espigas miudas, e queimadas do vento oriental, brotavam após ellas.
7 And the seven thin ears and blasted with the wind devoured the seven choice and full ears; and Pharao awoke, and 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 And it was morning, and his soul was troubled; and he sent and called all the interpreters of Egypt, and all her wise men; and Pharao related to them his dream, and there was no one to interpret it to Pharao.
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 And the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharao, saying, I this day remember my fault:
Então fallou o copeiro-mór a Pharaó, dizendo: Dos meus peccados me lembro hoje:
10 Pharao was angry with his servants, and put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker.
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 And we had a dream both in one night, I and he; we saw, each according to his dream.
Então sonhámos um sonho na mesma noite, eu e elle, cada um conforme a interpretação do seu sonho sonhámos.
12 And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew servant of the captain of the guard; and we related to him [our dreams], and he interpreted [them] to us.
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 came to pass, as he interpreted them to us, so also it happened, both that I was restored to my office, and that he 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 And Pharao having sent, called Joseph; and they brought him out from the prison, and shaved him, and changed his dress, and he came to Pharao.
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 And Pharao said to Joseph, I have seen a vision, and there is no one to interpret it; but I have heard say concerning you that you did hear dreams and interpret them.
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 And Joseph answered Pharao and said, Without God an answer of safety shall not be given to Pharao.
E respondeu José a Pharaó, dizendo: Sem mim é isso: Deus responderá paz a Pharaó.
17 And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream I thought I stood by the bank of the river;
Então disse Pharaó a José: Eis que em meu sonho estava eu em pé na praia do rio
18 and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favoured and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge.
E eis que subiam do rio sete vaccas gordas de carne e formosas á vista, e pastavam no prado.
19 And behold seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil and ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such that I never saw worse 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 And the seven ill-favoured and thin cows ate up the seven first good and choice cows.
E as vaccas magras e feias comiam os primeiras sete vaccas gordas;
21 And they went into their bellies; and it was not perceptible that they had gone into their bellies, and their appearance was ill-favoured, as also at the beginning; and after I awoke I slept,
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 and saw again in my sleep, and as it were seven ears came up on one stem, full and good.
Depois vi em meu sonho, e eis que d'uma cana subiam sete espigas cheias e boas;
23 And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them.
E eis que sete espigas seccas, miudas e queimadas do vento oriental, brotavam após ellas.
24 And the seven thin and blasted ears devoured the seven fine and full ears: so I spoke to the interpreters, and there was no one to 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 And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shown to Pharao.
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 good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one.
As sete vaccas formosas são sete annos; as sete espigas formosas tambem são sete annos: o sonho é um só
27 And the seven thin kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven thin and blasted ears are seven years; there shall be 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 And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatever God intends to do, he has shown to Pharao:
Esta é a palavra que tenho dito a Pharaó; o que Deus ha de fazer, mostrou-o a Pharaó.
29 behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt.
E eis que veem sete annos, e haverá grande fartura em toda a terra do Egypto.
30 But there shall come seven years of famine after these, and they shall forget the plenty that shall be in all Egypt, and the famine shall consume 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 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine that shall be after this, for it shall be very grievous.
E não será conhecida a abundancia na terra, por causa d'aquella fome que haverá depois; porquanto será gravissima.
32 And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharao twice, [it is] because the saying which is from God shall be true, and God will hasten to accomplish it.
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 then, look out a wise and prudent 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 And let Pharao make and appoint local governors over the land; and let them take up a fifth part of all the produce of the land of Egypt for the seven years of the plenty.
Faça isso Pharaó, e ponha governadores sobre a terra, e tome a quinta parte da terra do Egypto nos sete annos de fartura,
35 And let them gather all the food of these seven good years that are coming, and let the corn be gathered under the hand of Pharao; let food be kept 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 And the stored food shall be for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be utterly destroyed by 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 And the word was pleasing in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of all his servants.
E esta palavra foi boa aos olhos de Pharaó, e aos olhos de todos os seus servos.
38 And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him?
E disse Pharaó a seus servos: Achariamos um varão como este, em quem haja o espirito de Deus?
39 And Pharao said to Joseph, Since God has showed you all these things, there is not a wiser or more prudent man than 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 over my house, and all my people shall be obedient to your word; only in the throne will I excel 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 And Pharao said to Joseph, Behold, I set you this day over all the land of Egypt.
Disse mais Pharaó a José: Vês aqui te tenho posto sobre toda a terra do Egypto.
42 And Pharao took his ring off his hand, and put it on the hand of Joseph, and put on him a robe of fine linen, and put a necklace of gold about 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 And he mounted him on the second of his chariots, and a herald made proclamation before him; and he set 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 Pharao said to Joseph, I am Pharao; without you no one shall lift up his hand on all the land of Egypt.
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 And Pharao called the name of Joseph, Psonthomphanech; and he gave him Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, to wife.
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 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharao, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharao, and went through all 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 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, [whole] handfuls [of corn].
E a terra produziu nos sete annos de fartura a mãos cheias.
48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years, in which was the plenty in the land of Egypt; and he laid up the food in the cities; the food of the fields of a city round about it he laid up in 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 And Joseph gathered very much corn as the sand of the sea, until it could not be numbered, for there was no number [of it].
Assim ajuntou José muitissimo trigo, como a areia do mar, até que cessou de contar; porquanto não havia numeração.
50 And to Joseph were born two sons, before the seven years of famine came, which Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.
E nasceram a José dois filhos (antes que viesse um anno de fome), que lhe pariu Asenath, filha de Potiphera, sacerdote de On.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn, Manasse; for God, [said he], has made me forget all my toils, and all my father's house.
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 he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation.
E o nome do segundo chamou Ephraim; porque disse: Deus me fez crescer na terra da minha afflicção.
53 And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt.
Então acabaram-se os sete annos de fartura que havia na terra do Egypto,
54 And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph said; and there was a famine in all the land; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
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 And all the land of Egypt was hungry; and the people cried to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph, and do whatever he shall tell 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 And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians.
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 all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth.
E todas as terras vinham ao Egypto, para comprar de José; porquanto a fome prevaleceu em todas as terras.
