< Gênesis 50 >

1 Então José se lançou sobre o rosto de seu pae; e chorou sobre elle, e o beijou.
And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 E José ordenou aos seus servos, os medicos, que embalsamassem a seu pae: e os medicos embalsamaram a Israel.
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and 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.
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten 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 days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
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, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
6 E Pharaó disse: Sobe, e sepulta a teu pae como elle te fez jurar.
And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee 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,
And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of 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 all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 E subiram tambem com elle, tanto carros como gente a cavallo; e o concurso foi grandissimo.
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
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 came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
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, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel–mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
12 E fizeram-lhe os seus filhos assim como elle lhes ordenara,
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded 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.
For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before 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, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had 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.
And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
16 Portanto enviaram a José, dizendo: Teu pae mandou, antes da sua morte, dizendo:
And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
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.
So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
18 Depois vieram tambem seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante d'elle, e disseram: Eis-nos aqui por teus servos.
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
19 E José lhes disse: Não temaes, porque porventura estou eu em logar de Deus?
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place 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:
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
21 Agora pois não temaes: eu vos sustentarei a vós e a vossos meninos. Assim os consolou, e fallou segundo o coração d'elles.
Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
22 José pois habitou no Egypto, elle e a casa de seu pae: e viveu José cento e dez annos,
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an 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 Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon 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
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
25 E José fez jurar os filhos de Israel, dizendo: Certamente vos visitará Deus, e fareis transportar os meus ossos d'aqui.
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
26 E morreu José da edade de cento e dez annos; e o embalsamaram, e o pozeram n'um caixão no Egypto.
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
