Gênesis 37
1 E Jacob habitou na terra das peregrinações de seu pae, na terra de Canaan.
And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
2 Estas são as gerações de Jacob. Sendo José de dezesete annos, apascentava as ovelhas com seus irmãos, e estava este mancebo com os filhos de Bilhah, e com os filhos de Zilpah, mulheres de seu pae; e José trazia uma má fama d'elles a seu pae.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph brought the evil report of them to their father.
3 E Israel amava a José mais do que a todos os seus filhos, porque era filho da sua velhice; e fez-lhe uma tunica de varias côres.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made for him a coat of many colors.
4 Vendo pois seus irmãos que seu pae o amava mais do que a todos os seus irmãos, aborreceram-o, e não podiam fallar com elle pacificamente.
And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers. And they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
5 Sonhou tambem José um sonho, que contou a seus irmãos: por isso o aborreciam ainda mais.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him yet the more.
6 E disse-lhes: Ouvi, peço-vos, este sonho, que tenho sonhado:
And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
7 Eis que estavamos atando mólhos no meio do campo, e eis que o meu mólho se levantava, e tambem ficava em pé, e eis que os vossos mólhos o rodeavam, e se inclinavam ao meu mólho.
For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright. And, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8 Então lhe disseram seus irmãos: Tu pois devéras reinarás sobre nós? Por isso tanto mais o aborreciam por seus sonhos e por suas palavras.
And his brothers said to him, Shall thou indeed reign over us? Or shall thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9 E sonhou ainda outro sonho, e o contou a seus irmãos, e disse: Eis que ainda sonhei um sonho; e eis que o sol, e a lua, e onze estrellas se inclinavam a mim.
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers. And said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream again. And, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10 E contando-o a seu pae e a seus irmãos, reprehendeu-o seu pae, e disse-lhe: Que sonho é este que sonhaste? porventura viremos, eu e tua mãe, e teus irmãos, para inclinar-nos a ti em terra?
And he told it to his father, and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou have dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11 Seus irmãos pois o invejavam; seu pae porém guardava este negocio no seu coração.
And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
12 E seus irmãos foram apascentar o rebanho de seu pae, junto de Sichem.
And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
13 Disse pois Israel a José: Não apascentam os teus irmãos junto de Sichem? vem, e enviar-te-hei a elles. E elle lhe disse: Eis-me aqui.
And Israel said to Joseph, Are not thy brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here I am.
14 E elle lhe disse: Ora vae-te, vê como estão teus irmãos, e como está o rebanho, e traze-me resposta. Assim o enviou do valle de Hebron, e veiu a Sichem.
And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy brothers, and well with the flock, and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 E achou-o um varão, porque eis que andava errado pelo campo, e perguntou-lhe o varão, dizendo: Que procuras?
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, What do thou seek?
16 E elle disse: Procuro meus irmãos; dize-me, peço-te, onde elles apascentam.
And he said, I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding.
17 E disse aquelle varão: Foram-se d'aqui; porque ouvi-lhes dizer: Vamos a Dothan. José pois seguiu atraz de seus irmãos, e achou-os em Dothan.
And the man said, They are departed from here, for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 E viram-o de longe, e, antes que chegasse a elles, conspiraram contra elle, para o matarem.
And they saw him afar off. And before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 E disseram um ao outro: Eis lá vem o sonhador-mór!
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
20 Vinde pois agora, e matemel-o, e lancemol-o n'uma d'estas covas, e diremos: Uma besta fera o comeu; e veremos que será dos seus sonhos.
Come now therefore, and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits. And we will say, An evil beast has devoured him. And we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21 E ouvindo-o Ruben, livrou-o das suas mãos, e disse: Não lhe tiremos a vida.
And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
22 Tambem lhes disse Ruben: Não derrameis sangue; lançae-o n'esta cova, que está no deserto, e não lanceis mãos n'elle; para livral-o das suas mãos, e para tornal-o a seu pae.
And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood. Cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him, that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
23 E aconteceu que, chegando José a seus irmãos, tiraram a José a sua tunica, a tunica de varias côres, que trazia.
And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him,
24 E tomaram-o, e lançaram-o na cova; porém a cova estava vasia, não havia agua n'ella.
and they took him, and cast him into the pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 Depois assentaram-se a comer pão; e levantaram os seus olhos, e olharam, e eis que uma companhia de ishmaelitas vinha de Gilead; e seus camelos traziam especiarias, e balsamo, e myrrha, e iam leval-os ao Egypto.
And they sat down to eat bread. And they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 Então Judah disse aos seus irmãos: Que proveito haverá que matemos a nosso irmão, e escondamos a sua morte?
And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Vinde, e vendamol-o a estes ishmaelitas, e não seja nossa mão sobre elle; porque elle é nosso irmão, nossa carne. E seus irmãos obedeceram.
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.
28 Passando pois os mercadores midianitas, tiraram, e alçaram a José da cova, e venderam José por vinte moedas de prata aos ishmaelitas, os quaes levaram José ao Egypto.
And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen, and they drew and lifted Joseph up out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Tornando pois Ruben á cova, eis que José não estava na cova; então rasgou os seus vestidos,
And Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes,
30 E tornou a seus irmãos, e disse: O moço não apparece; e eu aonde irei?
and he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not, and I, where shall I go?
31 Então tomaram a tunica de José, e mataram um cabrito, e tingiram a tunica no sangue,
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
32 E enviaram a tunica de varias côres, e fizeram leval-a a seu pae, e disseram: Temos achado esta tunica; conhece agora se esta será ou não a tunica de teu filho.
And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, We have found this. Know now whether it is thy son's coat or not.
33 E conheceu-a, e disse: É a tunica de meu filho; uma besta fera o comeu; certamente é despedaçado José.
And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat. An evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
34 Então Jacob rasgou os seus vestidos, e poz sacco sobre os seus lombos, e lamentou a seu filho muitos dias.
And Jacob tore his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 E levantaram-se todos os seus filhos e todas as suas filhas, para o consolarem; recusou porém ser consolado, e disse: Porquanto com chôro hei de descer ao meu filho até á sepultura. Assim o chorou seu pae (Sheol h7585)
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 E os midianitas venderam-o no Egypto a Potifar, eunucho de Pharaó, capitão da guarda.
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
