Genesis 47
1 Joseph chose five of his [older] brothers to go with him to talk to the king. He introduced his [older] brothers to the king, and then he said, “My father and my [older] brothers [and younger brother] have come from the Canaan region. They have brought all their sheep and goats and cattle and everything else that they own, and they are living now in Goshen region.”
Então veiu José, e annunciou a Pharaó, e disse: Meu pae, e os meus irmãos, e as suas ovelhas, e as suas vaccas, com tudo o que teem, são vindos da terra de Canaan, e eis que estão na terra de Gosen
E tomou uma parte de seus irmãos, a saber cinco varões, e os poz diante de Pharaó.
3 The king asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” They replied, “We are shepherds, just as our ancestors were.”
Então disse Pharaó a seus irmãos: Qual é vosso negocio? E elles disseram a Pharaó: Teus servos são pastores de ovelhas, tanto nós como nossos paes.
4 They also said to him, “We have come here to live for a while in this land, because the famine is very severe in Canaan, and our animals have no (pasture/grass to eat) there. So now, please let us live in the Goshen region.”
Disseram mais a Pharaó: Viemos para peregrinar n'esta terra; porque não ha pasto para as ovelhas de teus servos, porquanto a fome é grave na terra de Canaan; agora pois rogamos-te que teus servos habitem na terra de Gosen.
5 The king said to Joseph, “I am happy that your father and your [older] brothers [and younger brother] have come to you.
Então fallou Pharaó a José, dizendo: Teu pae e teus irmãos vieram a ti:
6 They can live wherever you want in the whole country of Egypt. Give your father and your brothers the best part of the land. They can live in Goshen. And if you know that any of them have any special ability to work with livestock, have them be in charge of my own livestock, too.”
A terra do Egypto está diante da tua face, no melhor da terra faze habitar teu pae e teus irmãos; habitem na terra de Gosen: e se sabes que entre elles ha homens valentes, os porás por maioraes do gado, sobre o que eu tenho.
7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob [into the palace] and introduced him to the king. Jacob asked God to bless the king.
E trouxe José a Jacob, seu pae, e o poz diante de Pharaó; e Jacob abençoou a Pharaó.
8 Then the king asked Jacob, “How old are you?”
E Pharaó disse a Jacob: Quantos são os dias dos annos da tua vida?
9 Jacob replied, “I have been traveling around for 130 years. I have not lived as long as my ancestors, but my life has been full of troubles.”
E Jacob disse a Pharaó: Os dias dos annos das minhas peregrinações são cento e trinta annos; poucos e maus foram os dias dos annos da minha vida, e não chegaram aos dias dos annos da vida de meus paes nos dias das suas peregrinações.
10 Then Jacob again [asked God to] bless the king, and left him.
E Jacob abençoou a Pharaó, e saiu de diante da face de Pharaó.
11 [That is how Joseph enabled his father and older] brothers [and younger brother] to start living in Egypt. As the king had commanded, he gave them property in the best part of the land, in [Goshen, which is now called] Rameses.
E José fez habitar a seu pae e seus irmãos, e deu-lhes possessão na terra do Egypto, no melhor da terra, na terra de Rameses, como Pharaó ordenara.
12 Joseph also provided food for all his father’s family. The amounts that he gave them were according to how many children each of them had.
E José sustentou de pão a seu pae, e seus irmãos, e toda a casa de seu pae, segundo os seus meninos.
13 There were no crops growing in the whole region, because the famine was very severe. The people of Egypt and Canaan [MTY] became weak because they did not have enough food to eat.
E não havia pão em toda a terra, porque a fome era mui grave; de maneira que a terra do Egypto e a terra de Canaan desfalleciam por causa da fome.
14 Joseph collected all the money that the people in Egypt and Canaan paid for the grain they were buying from him, and he brought the money to the king’s palace.
Então José recolheu todo o dinheiro que se achou na terra do Egypto, e na terra de Canaan, pelo trigo que compravam: e José trouxe o dinheiro á casa de Pharaó.
15 When the people of Egypt and Canaan had spent all their money for grain, they all kept coming to Joseph and saying, “Please give us some food! If you do not give us grain, we will die [RHQ]! We have used all our money to buy food, and we have no money left!”
Acabando-se pois o dinheiro da terra do Egypto, e da terra de Canaan, vieram todos os egypcios a José, dizendo: Dá-nos pão; porque morreremos em tua presença? porquanto o dinheiro nos falta.
16 Joseph replied, “Since your money is all gone, bring me your livestock. If you do that, I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”
E José disse: Dae o vosso gado, e eu vol-o darei por vosso gado, se falta o dinheiro.
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph. He gave them food in exchange for their horses, their sheep and goats, their cattle, and their donkeys.
Então trouxeram o seu gado a José: e José deu-lhes pão em troca de cavallos, e do gado das ovelhas, e do gado das vaccas e dos jumentos; e os sustentou de pão aquelle anno por todo o seu gado
18 The next year they came to him again and said, “We cannot hide this from you: We have no more money, and now our livestock belongs to you. We have only our bodies and our land to give to you. We have nothing else left.
E acabado aquelle anno, vieram a elle no segundo anno, e disseram-lhe: Não occultaremos ao meu senhor que o dinheiro é acabado, e meu senhor possue os animaes, e nenhuma outra coisa nos ficou diante da face de meu senhor, senão o nosso corpo e a nossa terra;
19 (If you do not give us some food, we will die!/Do you want to watch us die?) [RHQ] If you do not give us seeds, our fields will become useless [IDM]. Buy us and our land in exchange for food. Then we will be the king’s slaves, and he will own the land. Give us seeds that we can plant and grow food, in order that we will not die, and in order that our land will not become like a desert.”
Porque morreremos diante dos teus olhos, tanto nós como a nossa terra? compra-nos a nós e á nossa terra por pão, e nós e a nossa terra seremos servos de Pharaó, e dá semente para que vivamos, e não morramos, e a terra não se desole.
20 So Joseph bought all the farms in Egypt for the king. The people of Egypt each sold their land to him because the famine was very severe, [and they had no other way to get money to buy food]. So all the farms became the king’s farms.
Assim José comprou toda a terra do Egypto para Pharaó, porque os egypcios venderam cada um o seu campo, porquanto a fome prevaleceu sobre elles: e a terra ficou sendo de Pharaó.
21 As a result, Joseph caused all the people from one border of the country to the other to become the king’s slaves.
E, quanto ao povo, fel-o passar ás cidades, desde uma extremidade da terra do Egypto até á outra extremidade.
22 But he did not buy the priests’ land, because they received food from the king regularly, so the food that the king gave them was enough for them. That is the reason they did not sell their land to him.
Somente a terra dos sacerdotes não a comprou, porquanto os sacerdotes tinham porção de Pharaó, e elles comiam a sua porção que Pharaó lhes tinha dado; por isso não venderam a sua terra.
23 Joseph said to the people [who sold themselves and their land to him], “Listen to me! Today I have bought you and your land for the king. So here are seeds for you so that you can plant them in the ground.
Então disse José ao povo: Eis que hoje tenho comprado a vós e a vossa terra para Pharaó; eis ahi tendes semente para vós, para que semeeis a terra.
24 But when you harvest the crop, you must give one-fifth of the crop to the king. The rest of the crop you can keep, to be seed to plant in the fields, and to be food for you and your children and for everyone else in your household to eat.”
Ha de ser, porém, que das colheitas dareis o quinto a Pharaó, e as quatro partes serão vossas, para semente do campo, e para o vosso mantimento, e dos que estão nas vossas casas, e para que comam vossos meninos.
25 They replied, “You have saved our lives! We want you to be pleased with us. And we will be the king’s slaves.”
E disseram: A vida nos tens dado; achemos graça nos olhos de meu senhor, e seremos servos de Pharaó.
26 So Joseph made a law about all the land in Egypt, stating that one-fifth of the crops that are harvested belongs to the king. That law still exists. Only the land that belonged to the priests did not become the king’s land.
José pois poz isto por estatuto até ao dia de hoje, sobre a terra do Egypto, que Pharaó tirasse o quinto: só a terra dos sacerdotes não ficou sendo de Pharaó.
27 Jacob and his family started to live in Egypt, in the Goshen region. They acquired property there. Many children were born to them there. As a result, their population increased greatly.
Assim habitou Israel na terra do Egypto, na terra de Gosen, e n'ella tomaram possessão, e fructificaram, e multiplicaram-se muito.
28 Jacob lived in Egypt 17 years. Altogether he lived 147 years.
E Jacob viveu na terra do Egypto dezesete annos: de sorte que os dias de Jacob, os annos da sua vida, foram cento e quarenta e sete annos.
29 When it was almost time for him to die, he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have pleased you, make a solemn promise that you will be kind to me and faithfully do what I am now asking you: When I die, do not bury me here in Egypt.
Chegando-se pois o tempo da morte d'Israel, chamou a José seu filho, e disse-lhe: Se agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, rogo-te que ponhas a tua mão debaixo da minha côxa, e usa commigo de beneficencia e verdade; rogo-te que me não enterres no Egypto.
30 Instead, take my body out of Egypt, and bury it in Canaan where my ancestors are buried.” Joseph replied, “I will do that.”
Mas que eu jaza com os meus paes; por isso me levarás do Egypto, e me sepultarás na sepultura d'elles. E elle disse: Farei conforme a tua palavra.
31 Jacob said, “(Swear/Solemnly promise) to me that you will do it!” So Joseph swore to do it. Then Jacob turned over in bed, bowed his head, and worshiped God.
E disse elle: Jura-me. E elle jurou-lhe; e Israel inclinou-se sobre a cabeceira da cama.
