Gênesis 45
1 Então José não se podia conter diante de todos os que estavam com ele; e clamou: Fazei sair de mim a todo o varão; e ninguém ficou com ele, quando José se deu a conhecer a seus irmãos.
Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
2 E levantou a sua voz com choro, de maneira que os egípcios o ouviam, e a casa de faraó o ouviu.
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
3 E disse José a seus irmãos: Eu sou José: vive ainda meu pai? E seus irmãos não lhe puderam responder, porque estavam pasmados diante da sua face
And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
4 E disse José a seus irmãos: Peço-vos, chegai-vos a mim. E chegaram-se; então disse ele: Eu sou José, vosso irmão, a quem vendestes para o Egito.
And he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 Agora, pois, não vos entristeçais, nem vos pese aos vossos olhos por me haverdes vendido para cá; porque para conservação da vida, Deus me enviou diante da vossa face
Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
6 Porque já houve dois anos de fome no meio da terra, e ainda restam cinco anos em que não haverá lavoura nem sega.
For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor 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.
And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
8 Assim não fostes vós que me enviastes para cá, senão Deus, que me tem posto por pai de faraó, e por senhor de toda a sua casa, e como regente em toda a terra do Egito.
I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 Apressai-vos, e subi a meu pai, e dizei-lhe: Assim tem dito o teu filho José: Deus me tem posto por senhor em toda a terra do Egito; desce a mim, e não te demores;
Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
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 vacas, e tudo o que tens.
and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
11 E ali te sustentarei, porque ainda haverá cinco anos de fome, para que não pereças de pobreza, tu e tua casa, e tudo o que tens.
And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
12 E eis que vossos olhos o veem, e os olhos de meu irmão Benjamin, que é minha boca que vos fala.
Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
13 E fazei saber a meu pai toda a minha glória no Egito, e tudo o que tendes visto, e apressai-vos a fazer descer meu pai para cá.
You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
14 E lançou-se ao pescoço de Benjamin seu irmão, e chorou; e Benjamin chorou também ao seu pescoço.
And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
15 E beijou a todos os seus irmãos, e chorou sobre eles; e depois seus irmãos falaram com ele.
And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
16 E a fama ouviu-se na casa de faraó, dizendo: Os irmãos de José são vindos; e pareceu bem aos olhos de faraó, e aos olhos de seus servos.
And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
17 E disse faraó a José: Dize a teus irmãos: Fazei isto, carregaei as vossas bestas e parti, tornai à terra de Canaan,
And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
18 E tornai a vosso pai, e a vossas famílias, e vinde a mim; e eu vos farei o melhor da terra do Egito, e comereis a gordura da terra.
and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.’”
19 A ti pois é ordenado; fazei isto, tomai vós da terra do Egito carros para vossos meninos, para vossas mulheres, e para vosso pai, e vinde.
“And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
20 E não vos pese coisa alguma das vossas alfaias; porque o melhor de toda a terra do Egito será vosso.
You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’”
21 E os filhos de Israel fizeram assim. E José deu-lhes carros, conforme o mandado de faraó; também lhes deu comida para o caminho.
And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the 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.
Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
23 E a seu pai enviou semelhantemente dez jumentos carregados do melhor do Egito, e dez jumentos carregados de trigo, e pão, e comida para seu pai, para o caminho.
And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
24 E despediu os seus irmãos, e partiram; e disse-lhes: Não contendais pelo caminho.
Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
25 E subiram do Egito, e vieram à terra de Canaan, a Jacob seu pai.
And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
26 Então lhe anunciaram, dizendo: José ainda vive, e ele também é regente em toda a terra do Egito. E o seu coração desmaiou-se, porque não os acreditava.
And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.
27 Porém, havendo-lhe eles contado todas as palavras de José, que ele lhes falara, e vendo ele os carros que José enviara para leva-lo, reviveu o espírito de Jacob seu pai
To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,
28 E disse Israel: Basta; ainda vive meu filho José; eu irei, e o verei antes que morra.
and he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
