Genesis 45
1 Joseph was not able to control his feelings any longer. He did not want to cry in front of his servants, so he said to them loudly, “All of you go outside!” After they went outside, there was no one else there with Joseph when he told his brothers who he was.
Então José não se podia conter diante de todos os que estavam com elle; e clamou: Fazei sair de mim a todo o varão; e ninguem ficou com elle, quando José se deu a conhecer a seus irmãos.
2 He cried so loudly that the people of Egypt who were outside heard it, and even the people in the king’s palace heard it.
E levantou a sua voz com chôro, de maneira que os egypcios o ouviam, e a casa de Pharaó o ouviu.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is our father still alive?” But his brothers were not able to reply, because they were frightened because of what he said.
E disse José a seus irmãos: Eu sou José: vive ainda meu pae? E seus irmãos não lhe poderam responder, porque estavam pasmados diante da sua face
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me!” When they came closer, he said, “I am your brother Joseph! I am the one you sold to traders who brought me here to Egypt!
E disse José a seus irmãos: Peço-vos, chegae-vos a mim. E chegaram-se; então disse elle: Eu sou José, vosso irmão, a quem vendestes para o Egypto.
5 But now, do not be distressed, and do not be angry with yourselves for having sold me to people who brought me here, because it was to save you from dying [because of the famine] that God sent me here ahead of you.
Agora, pois, não vos entristeçaes, nem vos peze aos vossos olhos por me haverdes vendido para cá; porque para conservação da vida, Deus me enviou diante da vossa face
6 There has been a famine in this country for two years, and it will continue for five more years, so that no one will plow ground, and there will be no crops to harvest.
Porque já houve dois annos de fome no meio da terra, e ainda restam cinco annos em que não haverá lavoura nem sega.
7 But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
Pelo que Deus me enviou diante da vossa face, para que ficasseis um resto na terra, e para guardar-vos em vida por uma grande livração.
8 Therefore, it was not you who sent me here; it was God who sent me here! He has caused me to become like a father to the king. I am in charge of everything in his palace and the governor of everyone in Egypt!
Assim não fostes vós que me enviastes para cá, senão Deus, que me tem posto por pae de Pharaó, e por senhor de toda a sua casa, e como regente em toda a terra do Egypto.
9 Now return to my father quickly, and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has caused me to become the governor over the whole land of Egypt. Come down to me immediately!
Apressae-vos, e subi a meu pae, e dizei-lhe: Assim tem dito o teu filho José: Deus me tem posto por senhor em toda a terra do Egypto; desce a mim, e não te demores;
10 You can live in the Goshen region. You and your children and your grandchildren, your sheep and goats and cattle, and everything that you own, will be near me.
E habitarás na terra de Gosen, e estarás perto de mim, tu e os teus filhos, e os filhos dos teus filhos, e as tuas ovelhas, e as tuas vaccas, e tudo o que tens.
11 Since there will be five more years of famine, I will make sure that you have food. If you do not come here, you and your family and all of your servants will starve. [EUP]”’
E ali te sustentarei, porque ainda haverá cinco annos de fome, para que não pereças de pobreza, tu e tua casa, e tudo o que tens.
12 “Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
E eis que vossos olhos o vêem, e os olhos de meu irmão Benjamin, que é minha bocca que vos falla.
13 Go and tell my father about how greatly I am honored here in Egypt. And tell him about everything else that you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly!”
E fazei saber a meu pae toda a minha gloria no Egypto, e tudo o que tendes visto, e apressae-vos a fazer descer meu pae para cá.
14 Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
E lançou-se ao pescoço de Benjamin seu irmão, e chorou; e Benjamin chorou tambem ao seu pescoço.
15 And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
E beijou a todos os seus irmãos, e chorou sobre elles; e depois seus irmãos fallaram com elle.
16 Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
E a fama ouviu-se na casa de Pharaó, dizendo: Os irmãos de José são vindos; e pareceu bem aos olhos de Pharaó, e aos olhos de seus servos.
17 The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
E disse Pharaó a José: Dize a teus irmãos: Fazei isto, carregae as vossas bestas e parti, tornae á terra de Canaan,
18 Then bring your father and your families back here. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you will have the best food in the land to eat.’
E tornae a vosso pae, e a vossas familias, e vinde a mim; e eu vos farei o melhor da terra do Egypto, e comereis a gordura da terra.
19 “Also tell this to your brothers: ‘Take some carts from Egypt to carry your children and your wives, and get them and your father and come back here quickly.
A ti pois é ordenado; fazei isto, tomae vós da terra do Egypto carros para vossos meninos, para vossas mulheres, e para vosso pae, e vinde.
20 Do not worry about bringing your possessions, because the best things in Egypt will be yours. Because of that, you will not need to bring any of your things from Canaan.’”
E não vos peze coisa alguma das vossas alfaias; porque o melhor de toda a terra do Egypto será vosso.
21 Jacob’s sons did what the king suggested. Joseph gave them carts and food to eat along the way, as the king had ordered.
E os filhos de Israel fizeram assim. E José deu-lhes carros, conforme o mandado de Pharaó; tambem lhes deu comida para o caminho.
22 To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
A todos lhes deu, a cada um, mudas de vestidos; mas a Benjamin deu trezentas peças de prata, e cinco mudas de vestidos.
23 And this is what he sent to his father: Ten male donkeys, loaded with some of the best goods that come from Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other food for his father’s trip to Egypt.
E a seu pae enviou similhantemente dez jumentos carregados do melhor do Egypto, e dez jumentos carregados de trigo, e pão, e comida para seu pae, para o caminho.
24 Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
E despediu os seus irmãos, e partiram; e disse-lhes: Não contendaes pelo caminho.
25 So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
E subiram do Egypto, e vieram á terra de Canaan, a Jacob seu pae.
26 One of them told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is the governor over all of Egypt!” Jacob was extremely astonished; he could not believe that it was true.
Então lhe annunciaram, dizendo: José ainda vive, e elle tambem é regente em toda a terra do Egypto. E o seu coração desmaiou-se, porque não os acreditava.
27 But they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him and his family and possessions to Egypt. Then their father Jacob’s shock ended.
Porém, havendo-lhe elles contado todas as palavras de José, que elle lhes fallára, e vendo elle os carros que José enviara para leval-o, reviveu o espirito de Jacob seu pae
28 He said, “What you have said is enough to convince me! My son Joseph is still alive, and I will go and see him before I die!”
E disse Israel: Basta; ainda vive meu filho José; eu irei, e o verei antes que morra.
