< Genesis 50 >
1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.
Então se lançou José sobre o rosto de seu pai, e chorou sobre ele, e o beijou.
2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
E mandou José a seus servos médicos que embalsamassem a seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram a Israel.
3 Forty days were required for it, for that is how many the days it takes for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him for seventy days.
E cumpriam-lhe quarenta dias, porque assim cumpriam os dias dos embalsamados, e choraram-no os egípcios setenta dias.
4 When the days for mourning for him had passed, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
E passados os dias de seu luto, falou José aos da casa de Faraó, dizendo: Se achei agora favor em vossos olhos, vos rogo que faleis aos ouvidos de Faraó, dizendo:
5 'My father made me take an oath, saying, "Look, I am dying. Bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will return again.'"
Meu pai me fez jurar dizendo: Eis que eu morro; em meu sepulcro que eu cavei para mim na terra de Canaã, ali me sepultarás; rogo, pois, que vá eu agora, e sepultarei a meu pai, e voltarei.
6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."
E Faraó disse: Vai, e sepulta a teu pai, como ele te fez jurar.
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father, and all the officials of Pharaoh went up with him, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Então José subiu a sepultar a seu pai; e subiram com ele todos os servos de Faraó, os anciãos de sua casa, e todos os anciãos da terra do Egito.
8 all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
E toda a casa de José, e seus irmãos, e a casa de seu pai: somente deixaram na terra de Gósen seus filhos, e suas ovelhas e suas vacas.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.
E subiram também com ele carros e cavaleiros, e fez-se um esquadrão muito grande.
10 Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad which is across the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very bitter lamentation. And he observed seven days of mourning for his father.
E chegaram até a eira de Atade, que está à outra parte do Jordão, e lamentaram ali com grande e muito grave lamentação: e José fez a seu pai luto por sete dias.
11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is across the Jordan.
E vendo os moradores da terra, os cananeus, o pranto na eira de Atade, disseram: Pranto grande é este dos egípcios: por isso foi chamado seu nome Abel-Mizraim, que está à outra parte do Jordão.
12 So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,
Fizeram, pois, seus filhos com ele, segundo lhes havia mandado:
13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hethite.
Pois seus filhos o levaram à terra de Canaã, e o sepultaram na caverna do campo de Macpela, a que havia comprado Abraão com o mesmo campo, para herança de sepultura, de Efrom o heteu, diante de Manre.
14 Then after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up with him to bury his father.
E voltou José ao Egito, ele e seus irmãos, e todos os que subiram com ele a sepultar a seu pai, depois que o sepultou.
15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back in full for all of the evil that we did to him."
E vendo os irmãos de José que seu pai era morto, disseram: Talvez José nos odeie, e nos retribua de todo o mal que lhe fizemos.
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,
E enviaram a dizer a José: Teu pai mandou antes de sua morte, dizendo:
17 Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
Assim direis a José: Rogo-te que perdoes agora a maldade de teus irmãos e seu pecado, porque mal te trataram: portanto agora te rogamos que perdoes a maldade dos servos do Deus de teu pai. E José chorou enquanto falavam.
18 Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."
E vieram também seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante dele, e disseram: Eis-nos aqui por teus servos.
19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
E respondeu-lhes José: Não temais: estou eu em lugar de Deus?
20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.
Vós pensastes mal sobre mim, mas Deus o encaminhou para o bem, para fazer o que vemos hoje, para manter em vida muito povo.
21 So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
Agora, pois, não tenhais medo; eu sustentarei a vós e a vossos filhos. Assim os consolou, e lhes falou ao coração.
22 So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
E esteve José no Egito, ele e a casa de seu pai; e viveu José cento dez anos.
23 Joseph saw Ephraim's descendants to the third generation. The children also of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were counted as Joseph's own.
E viu José os filhos de Efraim até a terceira geração: também os filhos de Maquir, filho de Manassés, foram criados sobre os joelhos de José.
24 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
E José disse a seus irmãos: Eu me morro; mas Deus certamente vos visitará, e vos fará subir desta terra à terra que jurou a Abraão, a Isaque, e a Jacó.
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, "God will surely take care of you. Then you must carry up my bones from here."
E fez jurar José aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Deus certamente vos visitará, e fareis levar daqui meus ossos.
26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
E morreu José da idade de cento e dez anos; e embalsamaram-no, e foi posto num caixão no Egito.
