Gênesis 50
1 Então se lançou José sobre o rosto de seu pai, e chorou sobre ele, e o beijou.
And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father’s face weeping and kissing him.
2 E mandou José a seus servos médicos que embalsamassem a seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram a Israel.
And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
3 E cumpriam-lhe quarenta dias, porque assim cumpriam os dias dos embalsamados, e choraram-no os egípcios setenta dias.
And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
4 E passados os dias de seu luto, falou José aos da casa de Faraó, dizendo: Se achei agora favor em vossos olhos, vos rogo que faleis aos ouvidos de Faraó, dizendo:
And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
5 Meu pai me fez jurar dizendo: Eis que eu morro; em meu sepulcro que eu cavei para mim na terra de Canaã, ali me sepultarás; rogo, pois, que vá eu agora, e sepultarei a meu pai, e voltarei.
For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
6 E Faraó disse: Vai, e sepulta a teu pai, como ele te fez jurar.
And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
7 Então José subiu a sepultar a seu pai; e subiram com ele todos os servos de Faraó, os anciãos de sua casa, e todos os anciãos da terra do Egito.
So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao’s house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 E toda a casa de José, e seus irmãos, e a casa de seu pai: somente deixaram na terra de Gósen seus filhos, e suas ovelhas e suas vacas.
And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
9 E subiram também com ele carros e cavaleiros, e fez-se um esquadrão muito grande.
He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company.
10 E chegaram até a eira de Atade, que está à outra parte do Jordão, e lamentaram ali com grande e muito grave lamentação: e José fez a seu pai luto por sete dias.
And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full seven days.
11 E vendo os moradores da terra, os cananeus, o pranto na eira de Atade, disseram: Pranto grande é este dos egípcios: por isso foi chamado seu nome Abel-Mizraim, que está à outra parte do Jordão.
And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
12 Fizeram, pois, seus filhos com ele, segundo lhes havia mandado:
So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
13 Pois seus filhos o levaram à terra de Canaã, e o sepultaram na caverna do campo de Macpela, a que havia comprado Abraão com o mesmo campo, para herança de sepultura, de Efrom o heteu, diante de Manre.
And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the field for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
14 E voltou José ao Egito, ele e seus irmãos, e todos os que subiram com ele a sepultar a seu pai, depois que o sepultou.
And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
15 E vendo os irmãos de José que seu pai era morto, disseram: Talvez José nos odeie, e nos retribua de todo o mal que lhe fizemos.
Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.
16 E enviaram a dizer a José: Teu pai mandou antes de sua morte, dizendo:
And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
17 Assim direis a José: Rogo-te que perdoes agora a maldade de teus irmãos e seu pecado, porque mal te trataram: portanto agora te rogamos que perdoes a maldade dos servos do Deus de teu pai. E José chorou enquanto falavam.
That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.
18 E vieram também seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante dele, e disseram: Eis-nos aqui por teus servos.
And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
19 E respondeu-lhes José: Não temais: estou eu em lugar de Deus?
And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
20 Vós pensastes mal sobre mim, mas Deus o encaminhou para o bem, para fazer o que vemos hoje, para manter em vida muito povo.
You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.
21 Agora, pois, não tenhais medo; eu sustentarei a vós e a vossos filhos. Assim os consolou, e lhes falou ao coração.
Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
22 E esteve José no Egito, ele e a casa de seu pai; e viveu José cento dez anos.
And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father’s house: and lived a hundred and ten years.
23 E viu José os filhos de Efraim até a terceira geração: também os filhos de Maquir, filho de Manassés, foram criados sobre os joelhos de José.
And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasses were born on Joseph’s knees.
24 E José disse a seus irmãos: Eu me morro; mas Deus certamente vos visitará, e vos fará subir desta terra à terra que jurou a Abraão, a Isaque, e a Jacó.
After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 E fez jurar José aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Deus certamente vos visitará, e fareis levar daqui meus ossos.
And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of this place:
26 E morreu José da idade de cento e dez anos; e embalsamaram-no, e foi posto num caixão no Egito.
And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
