Genesis 46
1 So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
E partiu Israel com tudo quanto tinha, e veio a Berseba, e sacrificou sacrifícios ao Deus de seu pai Isaac.
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
E falou Deus a Israel em visões da noite, e disse: Jacob, Jacob! E ele disse: Eis-me aqui.
3 God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
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 go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
E descerei contigo ao Egito, e certamente te farei tornar a subir, e José porá a sua mão sobre os teus olhos.
5 Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
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 So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
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 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
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.
8 (Here is/I will now give you) a list of the names of the members of Jacob’s family who went with him to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son; Reuben’s sons Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; Simeon and his sons Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul, who was the son of a Canaan people-group woman; Levi and his sons Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; Judah and his sons, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (his other sons, Er, and Onan, had died in Canaan); Perez and his two sons Hezron and Hamul; Issachar and his sons Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron; Zebulon and his sons Sered, Elon, and Jahleel; (Those were the sons of Jacob and Leah, and their daughter Dinah, who were born in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia: There were 33 of them, altogether.) They had Gad and his sons Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli; Asher and his sons Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah; and their sister Serah; Beriah’s sons Heber and Malkiel; (Those were the children and grandchildren of Jacob and Zilpah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah: There were 16 of them, altogether.) Joseph and Benjamin, the sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel; (Ephraim and Manasseh were Joseph’s two sons. [They did not go down to Egypt] because they were already in Egypt. They were sons of Asenath, the daughter of On, who was the priest in the temple in On [city].) Benjamin and his sons Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard; (Those were the sons and grandsons of Rachel and Jacob: There were 14 people altogether.) Dan and his son Hushim; Naphtali and his sons Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. (Those were the sons and grandsons of Jacob and Bilhah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel: There were seven people altogether.)
E estes são os nomes dos filhos de Israel, que vieram ao Egito, Jacob e seus filhos: Ruben, o primogênito de Jacob,
E os filhos de Ruben: Hanoch, e palu, e Hezron, e Carmi.
E os filhos de Simeão: Jemuel, e Jamin, e Ohad, e Jachin, e Zohar, e Shaul, filho de uma mulher Cananeia.
E os filhos de Levi: Gerson, Kohath, e Merari.
E os filhos de Judá: Er, e Onan, e Sela, e Perez, e Serah; Er e Onan, porém, morreram na terra de Canaan; e os filhos de Perez foram Hezron e Hamul.
E os filhos de Issacar: Tola, e Puah, e Iob, e Simron.
E os filhos de Zebulon: Sered, e Elon, e Jahleel.
Estes são os filhos de Leah, que pariu a Jacob em Paddan-aram, com Dinah, sua filha: todas as almas de seus filhos e de suas filhas foram trinta e três.
E os filhos de Gad: Ziphion, e Haggi, Shuni, e Ezbon, Eri, e Arodi, e Areli.
E os filhos de Asher: Imnah, e Ischva, e Ischvi, e Beria, e Serah, a irmã deles: e os filhos de Beria: Eber e Malchiel.
Estes são os filhos de Zilpah, que Labão deu à sua filha Leah; e pariu a Jacob estas dezeseis almas.
Os filhos de Rachel, mulher de Jacob: José e Benjamin.
E nasceram a José na terra do Egito Manasseh e Ephraim, que lhe pariu Asenath, filha de Potiphera, sacerdote de On.
E os filhos de Benjamin: Belah, Becher, e Asbel, Gera, e, Naaman, Echi e Rosh, Muppim, e Huppim, e Ard.
Estes são os filhos de Rachel, que nasceram a Jacob, ao todo quatorze almas.
E os filhos de Dan: Husim.
E os filhos de Naphtali: Jahzeel, e Guni, e Jezer, e Shilem.
Estes são os filhos de Bilha, que Labão deu à sua filha Rachel; e pariu estes a Jacob; todas as almas foram sete.
26 Altogether there were 66 people who were Jacob’s descendants who went to Egypt with him. That number does not include his sons’ wives.
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 Including Jacob and Joseph and Joseph’s two sons who were born in Egypt, there were 70 members of Jacob’s family when they were all there in Egypt.
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 Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
E enviou a Judá diante da sua face a José, para o encaminhar a Gosen; e chegaram à terra de Gosen.
29 Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
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 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
E Israel disse a José: Morra eu agora, pois já tenho visto o teu rosto, que ainda vives.
31 Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all 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 The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
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 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
Quando pois acontecer que faraó vos chamar, e disser: Qual é vosso negócio?
34 answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
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.
