Gênesis 50

1 Então se lançou José sobre o rosto de seu pai, e chorou sobre ele, e o beijou.

And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

2 E mandou José a seus servos médicos que embalsamassem a seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram a Israel.

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 E cumpriam-lhe quarenta dias, porque assim cumpriam os dias dos embalsamados, e choraram-no os egípcios setenta dias.

And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming: and the Egyptians wept for him threescore and ten 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 when the days of weeping for him 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 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, 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 Faraó disse: Vai, e sepulta a teu pai, como ele te fez jurar.

And Pharaoh said, 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.

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 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 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 também com ele carros e cavaleiros, e fez-se um esquadrão muito grande.

And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and 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.

And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and sore lamentation: and he made a mourning 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.

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 Fizeram, pois, seus filhos com ele, segundo lhes havia mandado:

And his sons did unto him according as he 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.

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 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, he, and his brethren, 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.

And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

16 E enviaram a dizer a José: Teu pai mandou antes de sua morte, dizendo:

And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command 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.

So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

18 E vieram também seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante dele, 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 respondeu-lhes José: Não temais: estou eu em lugar de Deus?

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: 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.

And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much 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 fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

22 E esteve José no Egito, ele e a casa de seu pai; e viveu José cento dez anos.

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 Efraim até a terceira geração: também os filhos de Maquir, filho de Manassés, foram criados 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 born upon 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.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

25 E fez jurar José aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Deus certamente vos visitará, e fareis levar daqui meus ossos.

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 idade de cento e dez anos; e embalsamaram-no, e foi posto num caixão no Egito.

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
