Genesis 47

1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan. And look, they are in the land of Goshen."

Então veiu José, e annunciou a Pharaó, e disse: Meu pae, e os meus irmãos, e as suas ovelhas, e as suas vaccas, com tudo o que teem, são vindos da terra de Canaan, e eis que estão na terra de Gosen

2 And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.

E tomou uma parte de seus irmãos, a saber cinco varões, e os poz diante de Pharaó.

3 Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers."

Então disse Pharaó a seus irmãos: Qual é vosso negocio? E elles disseram a Pharaó: Teus servos são pastores de ovelhas, tanto nós como nossos paes.

4 And they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."

Disseram mais a Pharaó: Viemos para peregrinar n'esta terra; porque não ha pasto para as ovelhas de teus servos, porquanto a fome é grave na terra de Canaan; agora pois rogamos-te que teus servos habitem na terra de Gosen.

5 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you,

Então fallou Pharaó a José, dizendo: Teu pae e teus irmãos vieram a ti:

6 and the land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

A terra do Egypto está diante da tua face, no melhor da terra faze habitar teu pae e teus irmãos; habitem na terra de Gosen: e se sabes que entre elles ha homens valentes, os porás por maioraes do gado, sobre o que eu tenho.

7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob, and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

E trouxe José a Jacob, seu pae, e o poz diante de Pharaó; e Jacob abençoou a Pharaó.

8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"

E Pharaó disse a Jacob: Quantos são os dias dos annos da tua vida?

9 So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred thirty years. Few and difficult have been the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."

E Jacob disse a Pharaó: Os dias dos annos das minhas peregrinações são cento e trinta annos; poucos e maus foram os dias dos annos da minha vida, e não chegaram aos dias dos annos da vida de meus paes nos dias das suas peregrinações.

10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh's presence.

E Jacob abençoou a Pharaó, e saiu de diante da face de Pharaó.

11 Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

E José fez habitar a seu pae e seus irmãos, e deu-lhes possessão na terra do Egypto, no melhor da terra, na terra de Rameses, como Pharaó ordenara.

12 And Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, according to the number of their dependents.

E José sustentou de pão a seu pae, e seus irmãos, e toda a casa de seu pae, segundo os seus meninos.

13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan grew weak because of the famine.

E não havia pão em toda a terra, porque a fome era mui grave; de maneira que a terra do Egypto e a terra de Canaan desfalleciam por causa da fome.

14 Joseph gathered up all of the money to be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain they were purchasing. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's treasury.

Então José recolheu todo o dinheiro que se achou na terra do Egypto, e na terra de Canaan, pelo trigo que compravam: e José trouxe o dinheiro á casa de Pharaó.

15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone."

Acabando-se pois o dinheiro da terra do Egypto, e da terra de Canaan, vieram todos os egypcios a José, dizendo: Dá-nos pão; porque morreremos em tua presença? porquanto o dinheiro nos falta.

16 Then Joseph said, "Give me your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock, if your silver is gone."

E José disse: Dae o vosso gado, e eu vol-o darei por vosso gado, se falta o dinheiro.

17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock for that year.

Então trouxeram o seu gado a José: e José deu-lhes pão em troca de cavallos, e do gado das ovelhas, e do gado das vaccas e dos jumentos; e os sustentou de pão aquelle anno por todo o seu gado

18 When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that all our silver is spent and that the herds of livestock belong to my lord. There is nothing left, as my lord can see, except our bodies and our lands.

E acabado aquelle anno, vieram a elle no segundo anno, e disseram-lhe: Não occultaremos ao meu senhor que o dinheiro é acabado, e meu senhor possue os animaes, e nenhuma outra coisa nos ficou diante da face de meu senhor, senão o nosso corpo e a nossa terra;

19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land won't become desolate."

Porque morreremos diante dos teus olhos, tanto nós como a nossa terra? compra-nos a nós e á nossa terra por pão, e nós e a nossa terra seremos servos de Pharaó, e dá semente para que vivamos, e não morramos, e a terra não se desole.

20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, because every Egyptian sold his field, since the famine was severe on them. So the land became Pharaoh's.

Assim José comprou toda a terra do Egypto para Pharaó, porque os egypcios venderam cada um o seu campo, porquanto a fome prevaleceu sobre elles: e a terra ficou sendo de Pharaó.

21 And as for the people, he subjugated them as slaves from one end of the border of Egypt to the other end of it.

E, quanto ao povo, fel-o passar ás cidades, desde uma extremidade da terra do Egypto até á outra extremidade.

22 Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off their allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not have to sell their land.

Somente a terra dos sacerdotes não a comprou, porquanto os sacerdotes tinham porção de Pharaó, e elles comiam a sua porção que Pharaó lhes tinha dado; por isso não venderam a sua terra.

23 Then Joseph said to the people, "Look, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you so you can plant the seed in the land.

Então disse José ao povo: Eis que hoje tenho comprado a vós e a vossa terra para Pharaó; eis ahi tendes semente para vós, para que semeeis a terra.

24 And it will come to pass at the harvests that you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours for seed for the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and as food for your little ones."

Ha de ser, porém, que das colheitas dareis o quinto a Pharaó, e as quatro partes serão vossas, para semente do campo, e para o vosso mantimento, e dos que estão nas vossas casas, e para que comam vossos meninos.

25 Then they said, "You have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."

E disseram: A vida nos tens dado; achemos graça nos olhos de meu senhor, e seremos servos de Pharaó.

26 So Joseph made it a statute still in effect for the land of Egypt, that a fifth must go to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.

José pois poz isto por estatuto até ao dia de hoje, sobre a terra do Egypto, que Pharaó tirasse o quinto: só a terra dos sacerdotes não ficou sendo de Pharaó.

27 So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired property in it and were fertile and became numerous.

Assim habitou Israel na terra do Egypto, na terra de Gosen, e n'ella tomaram possessão, e fructificaram, e multiplicaram-se muito.

28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.

E Jacob viveu na terra do Egypto dezesete annos: de sorte que os dias de Jacob, os annos da sua vida, foram cento e quarenta e sete annos.

29 And the time approached for Israel to die, so he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

Chegando-se pois o tempo da morte d'Israel, chamou a José seu filho, e disse-lhe: Se agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, rogo-te que ponhas a tua mão debaixo da minha côxa, e usa commigo de beneficencia e verdade; rogo-te que me não enterres no Egypto.

30 but when I lie down with my fathers you must carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do what you have asked."

Mas que eu jaza com os meus paes; por isso me levarás do Egypto, e me sepultarás na sepultura d'elles. E elle disse: Farei conforme a tua palavra.

31 Then he said, "Take an oath to me," and he took an oath to him. Then Israel bowed over the top of his staff.

E disse elle: Jura-me. E elle jurou-lhe; e Israel inclinou-se sobre a cabeceira da cama.
