Gênesis 41
1 E aconteceu que, ao fim de dois annos inteiros, Pharaó sonhou, e eis que estava em pé junto ao rio,
After two years, Pharaoh saw a dream. He thought himself to be standing above a river,
2 E eis que subiam do rio sete vaccas, formosas á vista e gordas de carne, e pastavam no prado.
from which ascended seven cows, exceedingly beautiful and stout. And they pastured in marshy places.
3 E eis que subiam do rio após ellas outras sete vaccas, feias á vista e magras de carne; e paravam junto ás outras vaccas na praia do rio.
Likewise, another seven emerged from the river, filthy and thoroughly emaciated. And they pastured on the same bank of the river, in green places.
4 E as vaccas feias á vista, e magras de carne, comiam as sete vaccas formosas á vista e gordas. Então acordou Pharaó.
And they devoured those whose appearance and condition of body was so wonderful. Pharaoh, having been awakened,
5 Depois dormiu, e sonhou outra vez, e eis que brotavam d'uma cana sete espigas cheias e boas,
slept again, and he saw another dream. Seven ears of grain sprung up on one stalk, full and well-formed.
6 E eis que sete espigas miudas, e queimadas do vento oriental, brotavam após ellas.
Likewise, other ears of grain, of the same number, rose up, thin and struck with blight,
7 E as espigas miudas devoravam as sete espigas grandes e cheias. Então acordou Pharaó, e eis que era um sonho.
devouring all the beauty of the first. Pharaoh, when he awakened after his rest,
8 E aconteceu que pela manhã o seu espirito perturbou-se, e enviou e chamou todos os adivinhadores do Egypto, e todos os seus sabios; e Pharaó contou-lhes os seus sonhos, mas ninguem havia que os interpretasse a Pharaó.
and when morning arrived, being terrified with fear, sent to all the interpreters of Egypt and to all of the wise men. And when they were summoned, he explained to them his dream; but there was no one who could interpret it.
9 Então fallou o copeiro-mór a Pharaó, dizendo: Dos meus peccados me lembro hoje:
Then at last the chief cupbearer, remembering, said, “I confess my sin.
10 Estando Pharaó mui indignado contra os seus servos, e pondo-me em guarda na casa do capitão da guarda, a mim e ao padeiro-mór,
The king, being angry with his servants, ordered me and the chief miller of grain to be forced into the prison of the leader of the military.
11 Então sonhámos um sonho na mesma noite, eu e elle, cada um conforme a interpretação do seu sonho sonhámos.
There, in one night, both of us saw a dream presaging the future.
12 E estava ali comnosco um mancebo hebreu, servo do capitão da guarda, e contámos-lh'os, e interpretou-nos os nossos sonhos, a cada um os interpretou conforme o seu sonho.
In that place, there was a Hebrew, a servant of the same commander of the military, to whom we explained our dreams.
13 E como elle nos interpretou, assim mesmo foi feito: a mim me fez tornar ao meu estado, e a elle fez enforcar.
Whatever we heard was proven afterwards by the event of the matter. For I was restored to my office, and he was suspended on a cross.”
14 Então enviou Pharaó, e chamou a José, e o fizeram sair logo da cova; e barbeou-se e mudou os seus vestidos, e veiu a Pharaó.
Immediately, by the king’s authority, Joseph was led out of prison, and they shaved him. And changing his apparel, they presented him to him.
15 E Pharaó disse a José: Eu sonhei um sonho, e ninguem ha que o interprete; mas de ti ouvi dizer que quando ouves um sonho o interpretas.
And he said to him, “I have seen dreams, and there is no one who can unfold them. I have heard that you are very wise at interpreting these.”
16 E respondeu José a Pharaó, dizendo: Sem mim é isso: Deus responderá paz a Pharaó.
Joseph responded, “Apart from me, God will respond favorably to Pharaoh.”
17 Então disse Pharaó a José: Eis que em meu sonho estava eu em pé na praia do rio
Therefore, Pharaoh explained what he had seen: “I thought myself to be standing on the bank of a river,
18 E eis que subiam do rio sete vaccas gordas de carne e formosas á vista, e pastavam no prado.
and seven cows climbed up from the river, exceedingly beautiful and full of flesh. And they grazed in a pasture of a marshy greenery.
19 E eis que outras sete vaccas subiam após estas, muito feias á vista, e magras de carne; não tenho visto outras taes, emquanto á fealdade, em toda a terra do Egypto.
And behold, there followed after these, another seven cows, with such deformity and emaciation as I had never seen in the land of Egypt.
20 E as vaccas magras e feias comiam os primeiras sete vaccas gordas;
These devoured and consumed the first,
21 E entravam em suas entranhas, mas não se conhecia que houvessem entrado em suas entranhas: porque o seu parecer era feio como no principio. Então acordei.
giving no indication of being full. But they remained in the same state of emaciation and squalor. Awakening, but being weighed down into sleep again,
22 Depois vi em meu sonho, e eis que d'uma cana subiam sete espigas cheias e boas;
I saw a dream. Seven ears of grain sprang up on one stalk, full and very beautiful.
23 E eis que sete espigas seccas, miudas e queimadas do vento oriental, brotavam após ellas.
Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk.
24 E as sete espigas miudas devoravam as sete espigas boas. E eu disse-o aos magos, mas ninguem houve que m'o interpretasse.
And they devoured the beauty of the first. I explained this dream to the interpreters, and there is no one who can unfold it.”
25 Então disse José a Pharaó: O sonho de Pharaó é um só; o que Deus ha de fazer, notificou a Pharaó.
Joseph responded: “The dream of the king is one. What God will do, he has revealed to Pharaoh.
26 As sete vaccas formosas são sete annos; as sete espigas formosas tambem são sete annos: o sonho é um só
The seven beautiful cows, and the seven full ears of grain, are seven years of abundance. And so the force of the dreams is understood to be the same.
27 E as sete vaccas feias á vista e magras, que subiam depois d'ellas, são sete annos; e as sete espigas miudas e queimadas do vento oriental, serão sete annos de fome.
Likewise, the seven thin and emaciated cows, which ascended after them, and the seven thin ears of grain, which were struck with the burning wind, are seven approaching years of famine.
28 Esta é a palavra que tenho dito a Pharaó; o que Deus ha de fazer, mostrou-o a Pharaó.
These will be fulfilled in this order.
29 E eis que veem sete annos, e haverá grande fartura em toda a terra do Egypto.
Behold, there will arrive seven years of great fertility throughout the entire land of Egypt.
30 E depois d'elles levantar-se-hão sete annos de fome, e toda aquella fartura será esquecida na terra do Egypto, e a fome consumirá a terra;
After this, there will follow another seven years, of such great barrenness that all the former abundance will be delivered into oblivion. For the famine will consume all the land,
31 E não será conhecida a abundancia na terra, por causa d'aquella fome que haverá depois; porquanto será gravissima.
and the greatness of this destitution will cause the greatness of the abundance to be lost.
32 E que o sonho foi duplicado duas vezes a Pharaó, é porquanto esta coisa é determinada de Deus, e Deus se apressa a fazel-a.
Now, as to what you saw the second time, it is a dream pertaining to the same thing. It is an indication of its firmness, because the word of God shall be done, and it shall be completed swiftly.
33 Portanto Pharaó se proveja agora d'um varão entendido e sabio, e o ponha sobre a terra do Egypto:
Now therefore, let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and place him over the land of Egypt,
34 Faça isso Pharaó, e ponha governadores sobre a terra, e tome a quinta parte da terra do Egypto nos sete annos de fartura,
so that he may appoint overseers throughout all the regions. And let a fifth part of the fruits, throughout the seven fertile years
35 E ajuntem toda a comida d'estes bons annos, que veem, e amontoem o trigo debaixo da mão de Pharaó, para mantimento nas cidades, e o guardem;
that now have already begun to occur, be gathered into storehouses. And let all the grain be stored away, under the power of Pharaoh, and let it be kept in the cities.
36 Assim será o mantimento para provimento da terra, para os sete annos de fome, que haverá na terra do Egypto; para que a terra não pereça de fome.
And let it be prepared for the future famine of seven years, which will oppress Egypt, and then the land will not be consumed by destitution.”
37 E esta palavra foi boa aos olhos de Pharaó, e aos olhos de todos os seus servos.
The counsel pleased Pharaoh and all his ministers.
38 E disse Pharaó a seus servos: Achariamos um varão como este, em quem haja o espirito de Deus?
And he said to them, “Would we be able to find another such man, who is full of the Spirit of God?”
39 Depois disse Pharaó a José: Pois que Deus te fez saber tudo isto, ninguem ha tão entendido e sabio como tu
Therefore, he said to Joseph: “Because God has revealed to you all that you have said, would I be able to find anyone wiser and as much like you?
40 Tu estarás sobre a minha casa, e por tua bocca se governará todo o meu povo, sómente no throno eu serei maior que tu
You will be over my house, and to the authority of your mouth, all the people will show obedience. Only in one way, in the throne of the kingdom, will I go before you.”
41 Disse mais Pharaó a José: Vês aqui te tenho posto sobre toda a terra do Egypto.
And again, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have appointed you over the entire land of Egypt.”
42 E tirou Pharaó o seu annel da sua mão, e o poz na mão de José, e o fez vestir de vestidos de linho fino, e poz um collar d'oiro no seu pescoço,
And he took the ring from his own hand, and he gave it into his hand. And he clothed him with a robe of fine linen, and he placed a necklace of gold around his neck.
43 E o fez subir no segundo carro que tinha, e clamavam diante d'elle: Ajoelhae; assim o poz sobre toda a terra do Egypto.
And he caused him to ascend upon his second swift chariot, with the herald proclaiming that everyone should bend their knee before him, and that they should know that he was governor over the entire land of Egypt.
44 E disse Pharaó a José: Eu sou Pharaó; porém sem ti ninguem levantará a sua mão ou o seu pé em toda a terra do Egypto
Likewise, the king said to Joseph: “I am Pharaoh: apart from your authority, no one will move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
45 E chamou Pharaó o nome de José Zaphnath-paneah, e deu-lhe por mulher a Asenath, filha de Potiphera, sacerdote de On; e saiu José por toda a terra do Egypto.
And he changed his name and called him, in the Egyptian tongue: ‘Savior of the world.’ And he gave him as a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis. And so Joseph went out into the land of Egypt.
46 E José era da edade de trinta annos quando esteve diante da face de Pharaó, rei do Egypto. E saiu José da face de Pharaó, e passou por toda a terra do Egypto.
(Now he was thirty years old when he stood in the sight of king Pharaoh.) And he traveled throughout the regions of Egypt.
47 E a terra produziu nos sete annos de fartura a mãos cheias.
And the fertility of the seven years arrived. And when the grain fields were reduced to sheaves, these were gathered into the storehouses of Egypt.
48 E ajuntou todo o mantimento dos sete annos, que houve na terra do Egypto, e guardou o mantimento nas cidades, pondo nas cidades o mantimento do campo que estava ao redor de cada cidade.
And now all the abundance of grain was stored away in every city.
49 Assim ajuntou José muitissimo trigo, como a areia do mar, até que cessou de contar; porquanto não havia numeração.
And there was such a great abundance of wheat that it was comparable to the sands of the sea, and its bounty exceeded all measure.
50 E nasceram a José dois filhos (antes que viesse um anno de fome), que lhe pariu Asenath, filha de Potiphera, sacerdote de On.
Then, before the famine arrived, Joseph had two sons born, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore for him.
51 E chamou José o nome do primogenito Manasseh; porque disse: Deus me fez esquecer de todo o meu trabalho, e de toda a casa de meu pae.
And he called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has caused me to forget all my labors and the house of my father.”
52 E o nome do segundo chamou Ephraim; porque disse: Deus me fez crescer na terra da minha afflicção.
Likewise, he named the second Ephraim, saying, “God has caused me to increase in the land of my poverty.”
53 Então acabaram-se os sete annos de fartura que havia na terra do Egypto,
And so, when the seven years of fertility that occurred in Egypt had passed,
54 E começaram a vir os sete annos de fome, como José tinha dito; e havia fome em todas as terras, mas em toda a terra do Egypto havia pão.
the seven years of destitution, which Joseph had predicted, began to arrive. And the famine prevailed throughout the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
55 E tendo toda a terra do Egypto fome, clamou o povo a Pharaó por pão; e Pharaó disse a todos os egypcios: Ide a José; o que elle vos disser, fazei.
And being hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh, asking for provisions. And he said to them: “Go to Joseph. And do whatever he will tell you.”
56 Havendo pois fome sobre toda a terra, abriu José tudo em que havia mantimento, e vendeu aos egypcios; porque a fome prevaleceu na terra de Egypto.
Then the famine increased daily in all the land. And Joseph opened all of the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. For the famine had oppressed them also.
57 E todas as terras vinham ao Egypto, para comprar de José; porquanto a fome prevaleceu em todas as terras.
And all the provinces came to Egypt, to buy food and to temper the misfortune of their destitution.
