Gênesis 45
1 Então José não se podia conter diante de todos os que estavam com elle; e clamou: Fazei sair de mim a todo o varão; e ninguem ficou com elle, quando José se deu a conhecer a seus irmãos.
Joseph couldn't control his emotions any longer while all his attendants were there, so he shouted out, “Everybody leave me!” So there was nobody else there when Joseph revealed who he was to his brothers.
2 E levantou a sua voz com chôro, de maneira que os egypcios o ouviam, e a casa de Pharaó o ouviu.
But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
3 E disse José a seus irmãos: Eu sou José: vive ainda meu pae? E seus irmãos não lhe poderam responder, porque estavam pasmados diante da sua face
“I'm Joseph!” he announced to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” They couldn't answer him as they were so surprised to see him face to face.
4 E disse José a seus irmãos: Peço-vos, chegae-vos a mim. E chegaram-se; então disse elle: Eu sou José, vosso irmão, a quem vendestes para o Egypto.
“Please come closer to me,” he told his brothers. They came over to him. “I'm your brother Joseph who you sold into slavery in Egypt.
5 Agora, pois, não vos entristeçaes, nem vos peze aos vossos olhos por me haverdes vendido para cá; porque para conservação da vida, Deus me enviou diante da vossa face
But don't be worried or get angry with yourselves that you sold me to be a slave here, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to save lives.
6 Porque já houve dois annos de fome no meio da terra, e ainda restam cinco annos em que não haverá lavoura nem sega.
The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
7 Pelo que Deus me enviou diante da vossa face, para que ficasseis um resto na terra, e para guardar-vos em vida por uma grande livração.
God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
8 Assim não fostes vós que me enviastes para cá, senão Deus, que me tem posto por pae de Pharaó, e por senhor de toda a sua casa, e como regente em toda a terra do Egypto.
So it wasn't you who sent me here, but God. He was the one who made me Pharaoh's chief advisor in charge of all his affairs, and ruler of the whole country of Egypt.
9 Apressae-vos, e subi a meu pae, e dizei-lhe: Assim tem dito o teu filho José: Deus me tem posto por senhor em toda a terra do Egypto; desce a mim, e não te demores;
Now hurry! Go back to my father and tell him, ‘This message comes from your son Joseph: God has made me the ruler of the whole of Egypt. Come to me now; don't wait.
10 E habitarás na terra de Gosen, e estarás perto de mim, tu e os teus filhos, e os filhos dos teus filhos, e as tuas ovelhas, e as tuas vaccas, e tudo o que tens.
You'll live in the land of Goshen so you can be close to me with your children and grandchildren, and with your flocks and herds and everything that belongs to you.
11 E ali te sustentarei, porque ainda haverá cinco annos de fome, para que não pereças de pobreza, tu e tua casa, e tudo o que tens.
I'll make sure you have food, because there are still five more years of famine to come. Otherwise you and your family and your animals are going to starve.’”
12 E eis que vossos olhos o vêem, e os olhos de meu irmão Benjamin, que é minha bocca que vos falla.
Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
13 E fazei saber a meu pae toda a minha gloria no Egypto, e tudo o que tendes visto, e apressae-vos a fazer descer meu pae para cá.
Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
14 E lançou-se ao pescoço de Benjamin seu irmão, e chorou; e Benjamin chorou tambem ao seu pescoço.
He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
15 E beijou a todos os seus irmãos, e chorou sobre elles; e depois seus irmãos fallaram com elle.
He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
16 E a fama ouviu-se na casa de Pharaó, dizendo: Os irmãos de José são vindos; e pareceu bem aos olhos de Pharaó, e aos olhos de seus servos.
Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
17 E disse Pharaó a José: Dize a teus irmãos: Fazei isto, carregae as vossas bestas e parti, tornae á terra de Canaan,
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you are to do: Load your donkeys with grain and go back to the country of Canaan.
18 E tornae a vosso pae, e a vossas familias, e vinde a mim; e eu vos farei o melhor da terra do Egypto, e comereis a gordura da terra.
Then bring your father and your families and return here to me. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you shall eat the best food the country has to offer.’
19 A ti pois é ordenado; fazei isto, tomae vós da terra do Egypto carros para vossos meninos, para vossas mulheres, e para vosso pae, e vinde.
Tell them to do this as well, ‘Take some wagons from Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring them and your father here.
20 E não vos peze coisa alguma das vossas alfaias; porque o melhor de toda a terra do Egypto será vosso.
Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
21 E os filhos de Israel fizeram assim. E José deu-lhes carros, conforme o mandado de Pharaó; tambem lhes deu comida para o caminho.
So that's what the sons of Israel did. Joseph provided them with wagons, as Pharaoh had ordered. He also gave them supplies for their journey.
22 A todos lhes deu, a cada um, mudas de vestidos; mas a Benjamin deu trezentas peças de prata, e cinco mudas de vestidos.
He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
23 E a seu pae enviou similhantemente dez jumentos carregados do melhor do Egypto, e dez jumentos carregados de trigo, e pão, e comida para seu pae, para o caminho.
Joseph also sent to his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best things from Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread and supplies needed for his father's journey.
24 E despediu os seus irmãos, e partiram; e disse-lhes: Não contendaes pelo caminho.
Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
25 E subiram do Egypto, e vieram á terra de Canaan, a Jacob seu pae.
So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
26 Então lhe annunciaram, dizendo: José ainda vive, e elle tambem é regente em toda a terra do Egypto. E o seu coração desmaiou-se, porque não os acreditava.
“Joseph's still alive!” they told him. “It's true, and he's the ruler of the whole country of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he just couldn't believe it!
27 Porém, havendo-lhe elles contado todas as palavras de José, que elle lhes fallára, e vendo elle os carros que José enviara para leval-o, reviveu o espirito de Jacob seu pae
But when they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to take him to Egypt, Jacob came back to his senses.
28 E disse Israel: Basta; ainda vive meu filho José; eu irei, e o verei antes que morra.
Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to go and see him before I die.”
