KING JAMES BIBLESAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.1 José atirou-se então sobre o rosto de seu pai e o beijou chorando.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.2 Ordenou depois aos médicos que o serviam, que embalsamassem seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram Israel.
3 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.3 Gastaram nisso quarenta dias, que é o tempo necessário ao embalsamamento. Os egípcios choraram-no durante setenta dias.
4 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,4 Passado o tempo do pranto, José disse à casa do faraó: "Se achei graça aos vossos olhos, dizei de minha parte ao faraó
5 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.5 que meu pai me fez jurar-lhe: Eu vou morrer, disse-me ele; tu me enterrarás no túmulo que adquiri na terra de Canaã. Permite-me, pois, subir e enterrar meu pai; depois voltarei".
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.6 O faraó respondeu: "Vai sepultar teu pai como ele te fez jurar".
7 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,7 José partiu para sepultar seu pai. Todos os servos do faraó, os anciãos de sua casa e todos os anciãos do Egito,
8 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.8 toda a casa de José, seus irmãos e a casa de seu pai o seguiram. Deixaram na terra de Gessém somente seus filhinhos, suas ovelhas e seus bois.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.9 Carros e cavaleiros acompanhavam-no, de sorte que a caravana era muito grande.
10 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.10 Chegando à eira de Atad, além do Jordão, fizeram uma grande e solene lamentação, e José celebrou, em honra de seu pai, um pranto de sete dias.
11 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.11 Vendo esse pranto na eira de Atad, o povo daquela terra disse: "Grande pranto é esse dos egípcios!" Daí o nome de Abel-Misraim dado a esse lugar, que está situado além do Jordão.
12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:12 Os filhos de Jacó fizeram, pois, o que ele lhes tinha ordenado.
13 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.13 Levaram-no para Canaã e enterraram-no na caverna da terra de Macpela, que Abraão tinha comprado, juntamente com a propriedade de Efrom, o hiteu, defronte de Mambré, para ter a propriedade de uma sepultura.
14 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.14 Depois do enterro, José voltou para o Egito com seus irmãos e todos os que o tinham acompanhado nos funerais de seu pai.
15 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.15 Os irmãos de José, vendo que seu pai morrera, disseram entre si: "Será que José nos tomará em aversão e irá vingar-se de todo o mal que lhe fizemos?"
16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,16 Mandaram, pois, dizer-lhe: "Antes de morrer, teu pai recomendou-nos
17 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.17 que te pedíssemos perdão do crime que teus irmãos cometeram, de seu pecado, de todo o mal que te fizeram. Perdoa, pois, agora esse crime àqueles que servem o Deus de teu pai". Ouvindo isso, José chorou.
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.18 Seus irmãos vieram jogar-se aos seus pés, dizendo: "Somos teus escravos!"
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?19 José disse-lhes: "Não temais: posso eu pôr-me no lugar de Deus?
20 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.20 Vossa intenção era de fazer-me mal, mas Deus tirou daí um bem; era para fazer, como acontece hoje, com que se conservasse a vida a um grande povo.
21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.21 Não temais, pois: eu vos sustentarei a vós e a vossos filhos". Estas palavras, que lhes foram direito ao coração, reconfortaram-nos.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.22 José habitou no Egito, e também a família de seu pai. Viveu cento e dez anos.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.23 Viu os descendentes de Efraim até a terceira geração. Igualmente, os filhos de Maquir, filho de Manassés, vieram à luz sobre os joelhos de José.
24 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.24 José disse a seus irmãos: "Vou morrer; mas Deus vos visitará seguramente e vos fará subir desta terra para a terra que jurou dar a Abraão, Isaac e a Jacó".
25 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.25 E José fez que os filhos de Israel jurassem: "Quando Deus vos visitar, disse ele, levareis daqui os meus ossos".
26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.26 José morreu com a idade de cento e dez anos. Foi embalsamado e depositado num sarcófago no Egito.
