Gênesis 50
1 Então se lançou José sobre o rosto de seu pai, e chorou sobre ele, e o beijou.
Joseph [May he add] fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
2 E mandou José a seus servos médicos que embalsamassem a seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram a Israel.
Joseph [May he add] enjoined his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel [God prevails].
3 E cumpriam-lhe quarenta dias, porque assim cumpriam os dias dos embalsamados, e choraram-no os egípcios setenta dias.
Forty days were fulfilled for him, for that is how many the days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] wept for him for 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:
When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph [May he add] spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found chen ·grace· in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
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.
‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan [Humbled].” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
6 E Faraó disse: Vai, e sepulta a teu pai, como ele te fez jurar.
Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you 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.
Joseph [May he add] went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery],
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.
All the house of Joseph [May he add], his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen [Drawing near].
9 E subiram também com ele carros e cavaleiros, e fez-se um esquadrão muito grande.
There went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very 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.
They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan [Descender], and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father 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.
When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled], saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery].” Therefore its name was called Abel [Vanity, Mourning] Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan [Descender].
12 Fizeram, pois, seus filhos com ele, segundo lhes havia mandado:
His sons did to him just as he enjoined 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.
for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan [Humbled], and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah [Double], which Abraham [Father of a multitude] bought with the field, for a possession of a burial site, from Ephron [Fawn-like] the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], before Mamre [Bitter, Fatness].
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.
Joseph [May he add] returned into Egypt [Abode of slavery]— he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, 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.
When Joseph [May he add]’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph [May he add] will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”
16 E enviaram a dizer a José: Teu pai mandou antes de sua morte, dizendo:
They sent a message to Joseph [May he add], saying, “Your father enjoined before he died, saying,
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.
‘You shall tell Joseph [May he add], “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph [May he add] wept when they spoke to him.
18 E vieram também seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante dele, e disseram: Eis-nos aqui por teus servos.
His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 E respondeu-lhes José: Não temais: estou eu em lugar de Deus?
Joseph [May he add] said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place 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.
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is today, to save many people alive.
21 Agora, pois, não tenhais medo; eu sustentarei a vós e a vossos filhos. Assim os consolou, e lhes falou ao coração.
Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 E esteve José no Egito, ele e a casa de seu pai; e viveu José cento dez anos.
Joseph [May he add] lived in Egypt [Abode of slavery], he, and his father’s house. Joseph [May he add] lived one hundred 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.
Joseph [May he add] saw Ephraim [Fruit]’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh [Causing to forget], were born on Joseph [May he add]’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.
Joseph [May he add] said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter].”
25 E fez jurar José aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Deus certamente vos visitará, e fareis levar daqui meus ossos.
Joseph [May he add] took an oath of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
26 E morreu José da idade de cento e dez anos; e embalsamaram-no, e foi posto num caixão no Egito.
So Joseph [May he add] died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt [Abode of slavery].
