< Genesis 50 >
1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
Então se lançou José sobre o rosto de seu pai, e chorou sobre ele, e o beijou.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
E mandou José a seus servos médicos que embalsamassem a seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram a Israel.
3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; (for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed: ) and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
E cumpriam-lhe quarenta dias, porque assim cumpriam os dias dos embalsamados, e choraram-no os egípcios setenta dias.
4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, 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 swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come 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 thy father, according as he made thee swear.
E Faraó disse: Vai, e sepulta a teu pai, como ele te fez jurar.
7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, 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 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: 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 with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
E subiram também com ele carros e cavaleiros, e fez-se um esquadrão muito grande.
10 And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is] beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
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 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This [is] a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which [is] beyond 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 And his sons did to him according 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, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
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 And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried 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 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will perhaps hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which 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 And they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,
E enviaram a dizer a José: Teu pai mandou antes de sua morte, dizendo:
17 So shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy 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 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face: and they said, Behold, we [are] thy servants.
E vieram também seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante dele, e disseram: Eis-nos aqui por teus servos.
19 And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for [am] I in the place of God?
E respondeu-lhes José: Não temais: estou eu em lugar de Deus?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save many people alive.
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 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted 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 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
E esteve José no Egito, ele e a casa de seu pai; e viveu José cento dez anos.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third [generation]: the children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
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 brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land, to the land which he swore 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 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
E fez jurar José aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Deus certamente vos visitará, e fareis levar daqui meus ossos.
26 So Joseph died, [being] a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put 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.
