< Genesis 46 >

1 And Israel, setting out with all that he had, arrived at the Well of the Oath. And sacrificing victims there to the God of his father Isaac,
E partiu Israel com tudo quanto tinha, e veio a Berseba, e sacrificou sacrifícios ao Deus de seu pai Isaac.
2 he heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: “Jacob, Jacob.” And he answered him, “Behold, here I am.”
E falou Deus a Israel em visões da noite, e disse: Jacob, Jacob! E ele disse: Eis-me aqui.
3 God said to him: “I am the most strong God of your father. Do not be afraid. Descend into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
E disse: Eu sou o Deus, o Deus de teu pai; não temas de descer ao Egito, porque eu te farei ali uma grande nação.
4 I will descend with you to that place, and I will lead you back from there, returning. Also, Joseph will place his hands over your eyes.
E descerei contigo ao Egito, e certamente te farei tornar a subir, e José porá a sua mão sobre os teus olhos.
5 Then Jacob rose up from the Well of the Oath. And his sons took him, with their little ones and wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry the old man,
Então levantou-se Jacob de Berseba, e os filhos de Israel levaram a seu pai Jacob, e seus meninos, e as suas mulheres, nos carros que faraó enviara para o levar.
6 along with all that he possessed in the land of Canaan. And he arrived in Egypt with all his offspring:
E tomaram o seu gado e a sua fazenda que tinham adquirido na terra de Canaan, e vieram ao Egito, Jacob e toda a sua semente com ele,
7 his sons and his grandsons, his daughters and all his progeny together.
Os seus filhos, e os filhos de seus filhos com ele, as suas filhas, e as filhas de seus filhos, e toda a sua semente levou consigo ao Egito.

Todas as almas que vieram com Jacob ao Egito, que sairam da sua coxa, sem as mulheres dos filhos de Jacob, todas foram sessenta e seis almas.
27 Now the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in the land of Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, who went into Egypt, were seventy.
E os filhos de José, que lhe nasceram no Egito, eram duas almas. Todas as almas da casa de Jacob, que vieram ao Egito, foram setenta.
28 Then he sent Judah ahead of himself, to Joseph, in order to report to him, and so that he would meet him in Goshen.
E enviou a Judá diante da sua face a José, para o encaminhar a Gosen; e chegaram à terra de Gosen.
29 And when he had arrived there, Joseph harnessed his chariot, and he went up to meet his father at the same place. And seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and, amid embraces, he wept.
Então José aprontou o seu carro, e subiu ao encontro de Israel, seu pai, a Gosen. E, mostrando-se-lhe, lançou-se ao seu pescoço, e chorou sobre o seu pescoço longo tempo.
30 And the father said to Joseph, “Now I will die happy, because I have seen your face, and I am leaving you behind alive.”
E Israel disse a José: Morra eu agora, pois já tenho visto o teu rosto, que ainda vives.
31 And he said to his brothers and to all his father’s house: “I will go up and report to Pharaoh, and I will say to him: ‘My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
Depois disse José a seus irmãos, e à casa de seu pai: Eu subirei, e anunciarei a faraó, e lhe direi: Meus irmãos, e a casa de meu pai, que estavam na terra de Canaan, vieram a mim!
32 And these honorable men are pastors of sheep, and they have the task of feeding the flock. Their cattle, and herds, and all that they were able to hold, they have brought with them.’
E os varões são pastores de ovelhas, porque são homens de gado, e trouxeram consigo as suas ovelhas, e as suas vacas, e tudo o que tem.
33 And when he will call you and will say, ‘What is your work?’
Quando pois acontecer que faraó vos chamar, e disser: Qual é vosso negócio?
34 You will respond, ‘Your servants are pastors of honor, from our infancy even to the present time, both we and our fathers.’ Now you will say this so that you may be able to live in the land of Goshen, because the Egyptians detest all pastors of sheep.”
Então direis: Teus servos foram homens de gado desde a nossa mocidade até agora, tanto nós como os nossos pais; para que habitemos na terra de Gosen; porque todo o pastor de ovelhas é abominação aos egípcios.
