Gênesis 50
1 Então José se lançou sobre o rosto de seu pae; e chorou sobre elle, e o beijou.
Joseph went and hugged his father, weeping over him and kissing him.
2 E José ordenou aos seus servos, os medicos, que embalsamassem a seu pae: e os medicos embalsamaram a Israel.
Then Joseph instructed the physicians who worked for him to embalm his father's body. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
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.
This took a full 40 days, the normal time for the process, and the Egyptians mourned for him for 70 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:
Once the time of mourning was over, Joseph said to Pharaoh's officials, “If you'd be so kind, please speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and explain to him that
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.
my father made me swear an oath, telling me, ‘You must bury me in the tomb I've prepared for myself in Canaan. Please allow me to go and bury my father and then I'll return.’”
6 E Pharaó disse: Sobe, e sepulta a teu pae como elle te fez jurar.
Pharaoh replied, “Go and bury your father as he made you swear to do.”
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,
Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh's officials went with him—all Pharaoh's senior advisors and all the leaders 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.
as well as Joseph's family, his brothers, and his father's family. They only left the small children and their flocks and herds back in Goshen.
9 E subiram tambem com elle, tanto carros como gente a cavallo; e o concurso foi grandissimo.
They were accompanied by chariots and horsemen—a really large procession.
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.
When they got to the threshing floor of Atad, on the other side of the Jordan, they wept loudly in sorrow. Joseph held a seven-day ceremony of mourning for his father there.
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.
The Canaanites who lived there watched the ceremony of mourning at the threshing floor of Atad. They said, “This is a very sad time of mourning for the Egyptians,” so they renamed the place Abel-mizraim, which is on the other side of the Jordan.
12 E fizeram-lhe os seus filhos assim como elle lhes ordenara,
Jacob's sons did what he had instructed them to do.
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.
They carried his body to Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
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.
After they had buried their father, Joseph and his brothers returned to Egypt along with all those who had gone with them.
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.
However, now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became worried, saying, “Maybe Joseph is holding a grudge against us, and he'll pay us back for all the bad things we did to him.”
16 Portanto enviaram a José, dizendo: Teu pae mandou, antes da sua morte, dizendo:
So they sent a message to Joseph to tell him, “Before your father died, he gave this order,
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.
‘This is what you are to tell Joseph: Forgive your brothers their sins, the bad things they did to you, treating you in such a nasty way.’ Now please forgive us our sins, we who are servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received their message, he cried.
18 Depois vieram tambem seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante d'elle, e disseram: Eis-nos aqui por teus servos.
Then his brothers themselves came and fell down before Joseph and said, “We are your slaves!”
19 E José lhes disse: Não temaes, porque porventura estou eu em logar de Deus?
“You don't need to be afraid!” he told them. “I don't stand in the place of God, do I?
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:
While you planned bad things for me, God planned it for good so that in the end many lives could be saved.
21 Agora pois não temaes: eu vos sustentarei a vós e a vossos meninos. Assim os consolou, e fallou segundo o coração d'elles.
So don't worry. I'll go on taking care of you and your children.” Speaking kindly like this he calmed them down.
22 José pois habitou no Egypto, elle e a casa de seu pae: e viveu José cento e dez annos,
Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's whole family. He lived to be 110,
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 saw three generations of his son Ephraim, and the sons of Makir, Manasseh's son, were placed in his lap when they were born.
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
“I'm going to die soon,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will be with you, and he will lead you out of this country to the land that he swore to give 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.
Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “When God comes to be with you, you must take my bones with you when you leave.”
26 E morreu José da edade de cento e dez annos; e o embalsamaram, e o pozeram n'um caixão no Egypto.
Joseph died when he was 110. After his body was embalmed, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
