Gênesis 50
1 Então José se lançou sobre o rosto de seu pae; e chorou sobre elle, e o beijou.
Joseph, realizing this, fell upon his father’s face, weeping and kissing him.
2 E José ordenou aos seus servos, os medicos, que embalsamassem a seu pae: e os medicos embalsamaram a Israel.
And he instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.
3 E cumpriram-se-lhe quarenta dias; porque assim se cumprem os dias d'aquelles que se embalsamam: e os egypcios o choraram setenta dias.
And while they were fulfilling his orders, forty days passed. For this was the method of embalming dead bodies. And Egypt wept for him for seventy days.
4 Passados pois os dias de seu choro, fallou José á casa de Pharaó, dizendo: Se agora tenho achado graça aos vossos olhos, rogo-vos que falleis aos ouvidos de Pharaó, dizendo:
And when the time for mourning was fulfilled, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharaoh: “If I have found favor in your sight, speak to the ears of Pharaoh.
5 Meu pae me fez jurar, dizendo: Eis que eu morro: em meu sepulchro, que cavei para mim na terra de Canaan, ali me sepultarás. Agora pois, te peço, que eu suba, para que sepulte a meu pae; então voltarei.
For my father made me swear, saying: ‘See, I am dying. You shall bury me in my sepulcher which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Therefore, I shall go up and bury my father, and then return.”
6 E Pharaó disse: Sobe, e sepulta a teu pae como elle te fez jurar.
And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just as he made you swear.”
7 E José subiu para sepultar a seu pae: e subiram com elle todos os servos de Pharaó, os anciãos da sua casa, e todos os anciãos da terra do Egypto,
So as he went up, all the elders of the house of Pharaoh went with him, along with every patriarch in the land of Egypt,
8 Como tambem toda a casa de José, e seus irmãos, e a casa de seu pae: sómente deixaram na terra de Gosen os seus meninos e as suas ovelhas, e as suas vaccas.
and the house of Joseph with his brothers, except their little ones and flocks and also the herds, which they left behind in the land of Goshen.
9 E subiram tambem com elle, tanto carros como gente a cavallo; e o concurso foi grandissimo.
Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.
10 Chegando elles pois á planicie do espinhal, que está além do Jordão, fizeram um grande e gravissimo pranto; e fez a seu pae um grande pranto por sete dias.
And they arrived at the threshing place of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan. There they spent seven full days celebrating the funeral rites with a great and vehement lamentation.
11 E vendo os moradores da terra, os cananeos, o luto na planicie do espinhal, disseram: É este o pranto grande dos egypcios. Por isso chamou-se o seu nome Abelmizraim, que está além do Jordão.
And when the inhabitants of the land of Canaan had seen this, they said, “This is a great Lamentation for the Egyptians.” And for this reason, the name of that place was called, “The Lamentation of Egypt.”
12 E fizeram-lhe os seus filhos assim como elle lhes ordenara,
And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed them.
13 Pois os seus filhos o levaram á terra de Canaan, e o sepultaram na cova do campo de Machpela, que Abrahão tinha comprado com o campo, por herança de sepultura, d'Ephron, o hetheo, em frente de Mamre.
And carrying him into the land of Canaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial, opposite Mamre.
14 Depois tornou-se José para o Egypto, elle e seus irmãos, e todos os que com elle subiram a sepultar seu pae, depois de haver sepultado seu pae.
And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brothers and all those of his company, having buried his father.
15 Vendo então os irmãos de José que seu pae já estava morto, disseram: Porventura nos aborrecerá José, e nos pagará certamente todo o mal que lhe fizemos.
Now that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that we did to him.”
16 Portanto enviaram a José, dizendo: Teu pae mandou, antes da sua morte, dizendo:
So they sent a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed us before he died,
17 Assim direis a José: Perdoa, rogo-te, a transgressão de teus irmãos, e o seu peccado, porque te fizeram mal: agora pois rogamos-te que perdoes a transgressão dos servos do Deus de teu pae. E José chorou quando elles lhe fallavam.
that we should say these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
18 Depois vieram tambem seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante d'elle, e disseram: Eis-nos aqui por teus servos.
And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
19 E José lhes disse: Não temaes, porque porventura estou eu em logar de Deus?
And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will of God?
20 Vós bem intentastes mal contra mim, porém Deus o intentou para bem, para fazer como está n'este dia, para conservar em vida a um povo grande:
You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
21 Agora pois não temaes: eu vos sustentarei a vós e a vossos meninos. Assim os consolou, e fallou segundo o coração d'elles.
Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
22 José pois habitou no Egypto, elle e a casa de seu pae: e viveu José cento e dez annos,
And he lived in Egypt with all his father’s house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years.
23 E viu José os filhos de Ephraim, da terceira geração: tambem os filhos de Machir, filho de Manasseh, nasceram sobre os joelhos de José.
And he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto Joseph’s knees.
24 E disse José a seus irmãos: Eu morro; mas Deus certamente vos visitará, e vos fará subir d'esta terra á terra que jurou a Abrahão, a Isaac e a Jacob
After these things happened, he said to his brothers: “God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25 E José fez jurar os filhos de Israel, dizendo: Certamente vos visitará Deus, e fareis transportar os meus ossos d'aqui.
And when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”
26 E morreu José da edade de cento e dez annos; e o embalsamaram, e o pozeram n'um caixão no Egypto.
he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
