Genesis 50

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 José atirou-se então sobre o rosto de seu pai e o beijou chorando.	1 Joseph, realizing this, 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 instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.
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 orders, forty days passed. For this was the method of embalming dead bodies. And Egypt wept for him for 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 when the time for mourning was fulfilled, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharaoh: “If I have found favor in your sight, speak to the ears of Pharaoh.
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, saying: ‘See, I am dying. You shall bury me in my sepulcher which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Therefore, I shall go up and bury my father, and then return.”
6 O faraó respondeu: "Vai sepultar teu pai como ele te fez jurar".	6 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just as he made you 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 as he went up, all the elders of the house of Pharaoh went with him, along with every patriarch in 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 brothers, except their little ones and flocks and also the herds, which they left behind in the land of Goshen.
9 Carros e cavaleiros acompanhavam-no, de sorte que a caravana era muito grande.	9 Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.
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 arrived at the threshing place of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan. There they spent seven full days celebrating the funeral rites with a great and vehement lamentation.
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 the land of Canaan had seen this, they said, “This is a great Lamentation for the Egyptians.” And for this reason, the name of that place was called, “The Lamentation of Egypt.”
12 Os filhos de Jacó fizeram, pois, o que ele lhes tinha ordenado.	12 And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed 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 Canaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial, opposite Mamre.
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 brothers and all those of his company, having 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 that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that we did to him.”
16 Mandaram, pois, dizer-lhe: "Antes de morrer, teu pai recomendou-nos	16 So they sent a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed 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 these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
18 Seus irmãos vieram jogar-se aos seus pés, dizendo: "Somos teus escravos!"	18 And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
19 José disse-lhes: "Não temais: posso eu pôr-me no lugar de Deus?	19 And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to 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 devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
21 Não temais, pois: eu vos sustentarei a vós e a vossos filhos". Estas palavras, que lhes foram direito ao coração, reconfortaram-nos.	21 Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
22 José habitou no Egito, e também a família de seu pai. Viveu cento e dez anos.	22 And he lived in Egypt with all his father’s house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years. And he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto 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 these things happened, he said to his brothers: “God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into 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 when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”
25 E José fez que os filhos de Israel jurassem: "Quando Deus vos visitar, disse ele, levareis daqui os meus ossos".	25 he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
26 José morreu com a idade de cento e dez anos. Foi embalsamado e depositado num sarcófago no Egito.
