Genesis 50

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 José atirou-se então sobre o rosto de seu pai e o beijou chorando.	1 And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father's face weeping and kissing him.
2 Ordenou depois aos médicos que o serviam, que embalsamassem seu pai; e os médicos embalsamaram Israel.	2 And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
3 Gastaram nisso quarenta dias, que é o tempo necessário ao embalsamamento. Os egípcios choraram-no durante setenta dias.	3 And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mounted for him seventy days.
4 Passado o tempo do pranto, José disse à casa do faraó: "Se achei graça aos vossos olhos, dizei de minha parte ao faraó	4 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 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".	5 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 O faraó respondeu: "Vai sepultar teu pai como ele te fez jurar".	6 And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
7 José partiu para sepultar seu pai. Todos os servos do faraó, os anciãos de sua casa e todos os anciãos do Egito,	7 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 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.	8 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 Carros e cavaleiros acompanhavam-no, de sorte que a caravana era muito grande.	9 He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was it great company.
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.	10 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 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.	11 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 Os filhos de Jacó fizeram, pois, o que ele lhes tinha ordenado.	12 So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
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.	13 And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the held for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
14 Depois do enterro, José voltou para o Egito com seus irmãos e todos os que o tinham acompanhado nos funerais de seu pai.	14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
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?"	15 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 Mandaram, pois, dizer-lhe: "Antes de morrer, teu pai recomendou-nos	16 And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
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.	17 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 Seus irmãos vieram jogar-se aos seus pés, dizendo: "Somos teus escravos!"	18 And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
19 José disse-lhes: "Não temais: posso eu pôr-me no lugar de Deus?	19 And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
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.	20 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 Não temais, pois: eu vos sustentarei a vós e a vossos filhos". Estas palavras, que lhes foram direito ao coração, reconfortaram-nos.	21 Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
22 José habitou no Egito, e também a família de seu pai. Viveu cento e dez anos.	22 And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father's house: and lived a hundred and ten years. And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Ma-nasses were born on 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.	23 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.
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".	24 And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, Carry my bones with you out of this place:
25 E José fez que os filhos de Israel jurassem: "Quando Deus vos visitar, disse ele, levareis daqui os meus ossos".	25 And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
26 José morreu com a idade de cento e dez anos. Foi embalsamado e depositado num sarcófago no Egito.
