Gênesis 37
1 E Jacob habitou na terra das peregrinações de seu pae, na terra de Canaan.
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, 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, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about 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 children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
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.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 Sonhou tambem José um sonho, que contou a seus irmãos: por isso o aborreciam ainda mais.
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 E disse-lhes: Ouvi, peço-vos, este sonho, que tenho sonhado:
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
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.
And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down 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.
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
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 had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down 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?
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 Seus irmãos pois o invejavam; seu pae porém guardava este negocio no seu coração.
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 E seus irmãos foram apascentar o rebanho de seu pae, junto de Sichem.
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near 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, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
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.
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from 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 man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 E elle disse: Procuro meus irmãos; dize-me, peço-te, onde elles apascentam.
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
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.
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So 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.
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 E disseram um ao outro: Eis lá vem o sonhador-mór!
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
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, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
21 E ouvindo-o Ruben, livrou-o das suas mãos, e disse: Não lhe tiremos a vida.
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's 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.
Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, 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.
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 E tomaram-o, e lançaram-o na cova; porém a cova estava vasia, não havia agua n'ella.
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now 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.
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 Então Judah disse aos seus irmãos: Que proveito haverá que matemos a nosso irmão, e escondamos a sua morte?
Then 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's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
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.
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 Tornando pois Ruben á cova, eis que José não estava na cova; então rasgou os seus vestidos,
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 E tornou a seus irmãos, e disse: O moço não apparece; e eu aonde irei?
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 Então tomaram a tunica de José, e mataram um cabrito, e tingiram a tunica no sangue,
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe 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 long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe 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 recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 Então Jacob rasgou os seus vestidos, e poz sacco sobre os seus lombos, e lamentou a seu filho muitos dias.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, 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)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, 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.
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
