Genesis 50
1 Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
Joseph caiu no rosto de seu pai, chorou sobre ele, e o beijou.
2 Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
José ordenou a seus servos, os médicos, que embalsamassem seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram Israel.
3 So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
Quarenta dias foram usados para ele, pois é o número de dias que leva para embalsamar. Os egípcios choraram por Israel durante setenta dias.
4 When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
Quando os dias de choro por ele passaram, José falou ao pessoal do Faraó, dizendo: “Se agora eu encontrei favor em seus olhos, por favor fale aos ouvidos do Faraó, dizendo:
5 ‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
'Meu pai me fez jurar, dizendo: “Eis que estou morrendo”. Enterrai-me na minha sepultura que cavei para mim mesmo na terra de Canaã”. Agora, portanto, por favor, deixe-me subir e enterrar meu pai, e eu virei novamente”.
6 After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
O Faraó disse: “Sobe e enterra teu pai, como ele te fez jurar”.
7 So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
José subiu para enterrar seu pai; e com ele subiram todos os servos do Faraó, os anciãos de sua casa, todos os anciãos da terra do Egito,
8 His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
toda a casa de José, seus irmãos, e a casa de seu pai. Somente seus pequeninos, seus rebanhos e seus rebanhos, eles partiram para a terra de Gósen.
9 Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
Tanto as carruagens como os cavaleiros subiram com ele. Foi uma grande companhia.
10 They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
Eles chegaram à eira de Atad, que fica além do Jordão, e lá lamentaram com uma lamentação muito grande e severa. Ele lamentou por seu pai durante sete dias.
11 When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
Quando os habitantes da terra, os cananeus, viram o luto no chão de Atad, disseram: “Este é um luto doloroso por parte dos egípcios”. Por isso seu nome foi chamado Abel Mizraim, que está além do Jordão.
12 Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
Seus filhos lhe fizeram exatamente como ele lhes ordenou,
13 They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
pois seus filhos o levaram para a terra de Canaã, e o enterraram na caverna do campo de Macpela, que Abraão comprou com o campo, como posse para um local de sepultamento, de Efron, o hitita, perto de Mamre.
14 After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
José voltou ao Egito - ele e seus irmãos, e tudo o que subiu com ele para enterrar seu pai, depois que ele havia enterrado seu pai.
15 After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
Quando os irmãos de Joseph viram que seu pai estava morto, eles disseram: “Pode ser que Joseph nos odeie, e nos pague integralmente por todo o mal que lhe fizemos”.
16 So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
Eles enviaram uma mensagem a Joseph, dizendo: “Seu pai ordenou antes de morrer, dizendo:
17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
'Você deve dizer a Joseph: “Agora, por favor, perdoe a desobediência de seus irmãos, e o pecado deles, porque eles lhe fizeram o mal”. Agora, por favor, perdoe a desobediência dos servos do Deus de seu pai”. José chorou quando eles falaram com ele.
18 Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
Seus irmãos também foram e caíram diante de seu rosto; e eles disseram: “Eis que somos teus servos”.
19 But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
Joseph disse-lhes: “Não tenham medo, pois estou no lugar de Deus?
20 As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
Quanto a vocês, quiseram dizer mal contra mim, mas Deus o quis dizer para o bem, para salvar muitas pessoas vivas, como está acontecendo hoje.
21 So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
Agora, portanto, não tenha medo. Eu proverei para você e seus pequenos”. Ele os consolou e falou gentilmente com eles.
22 Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
Joseph viveu no Egito, ele e a casa de seu pai. José viveu cem e dez anos.
23 He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
Joseph viu os filhos de Efraim até a terceira geração. Os filhos também de Machir, o filho de Manasseh, nasceram de joelhos de José.
24 One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
José disse a seus irmãos: “Estou morrendo, mas Deus certamente vos visitará e vos fará subir desta terra para a terra que ele jurou a Abraão, a Isaac, e a Jacó”.
25 Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
José fez um juramento dos filhos de Israel, dizendo: “Deus certamente vos visitará, e vós levareis meus ossos daqui para cima”.
26 So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
Então José morreu, tendo cem e dez anos de idade, e eles o embalsamaram, e foi colocado em um caixão no Egito.
