Gênesis 37
1 E Jacob habitou na terra das peregrinações de seu pae, na terra de Canaan.
Jacob [Supplanter] lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan [Humbled].
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.
This is the history of the generations of Jacob [Supplanter]. Joseph [May he add], being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah [Bashful] and Zilpah [Frailty], his father’s wives. Joseph [May he add] brought an 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 [God prevails] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Joseph [May he add] more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made 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.
His brothers saw that their father 'ahav ·affectionately loved· him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.
5 Sonhou tambem José um sonho, que contou a seus irmãos: por isso o aborreciam ainda mais.
Joseph [May he add] dreamed 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 sh'ma ·hear obey· 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 behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, 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.
His brothers said to him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all 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.
He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, 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?
He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?”
11 Seus irmãos pois o invejavam; seu pae porém guardava este negocio no seu coração.
His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
12 E seus irmãos foram apascentar o rebanho de seu pae, junto de Sichem.
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.
Israel [God prevails] said to Joseph [May he add], “Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” 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.
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your 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?
A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. 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 feeding 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 sh'ma ·heard obeyed· them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” Joseph [May he add] 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.
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!
They said to one 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’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ 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.
Reuben [See, a son!] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it, and delivered him out of their hand, 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 [See, a son!] 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 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.
When Joseph [May he add] came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph [May he add] 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 threw him into the pit. 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.
They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites [Pays attention God] was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt [Abode of slavery].
26 Então Judah disse aos seus irmãos: Que proveito haverá que matemos a nosso irmão, e escondamos a sua morte?
Judah [Praised] 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 [Pays attention God], and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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.
Midianites [Descendants of Strife] who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph [May he add] out of the pit, and sold Joseph [May he add] to the Ishmaelites [Pays attention God] for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph [May he add] into Egypt [Abode of slavery].
29 Tornando pois Ruben á cova, eis que José não estava na cova; então rasgou os seus vestidos,
Reuben [See, a son!] returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph [May he add] 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?
He teshuvah ·completely returned· to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
31 Então tomaram a tunica de José, e mataram um cabrito, e tingiram a tunica no sangue,
They took Joseph [May he add]’s coat, and killed a male 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.
They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your 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.
He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph [May he add] 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.
Jacob [Supplanter] tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on 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. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol ·Place of the dead· to my son mourning.” His father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 E os midianitas venderam-o no Egypto a Potifar, eunucho de Pharaó, capitão da guarda.
The Midianites [Descendants of Strife] sold him into Egypt [Abode of slavery] to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
