< 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 out of the land of Canaan; and behold, 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 From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
E tomou uma parte de seus irmãos, a saber cinco varões, e os poz diante de Pharaó.
3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” 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 They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell 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 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 The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell 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 Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set 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 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
E Pharaó disse a Jacob: Quantos são os dias dos annos da tua vida?
9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”
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 Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
E Jacob abençoou a Pharaó, e saiu de diante da face de Pharaó.
11 Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession 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 Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.
E José sustentou de pão a seu pae, e seus irmãos, e toda a casa de seu pae, segundo os seus meninos.
13 There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason 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 the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
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 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 bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”
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 Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
E José disse: Dae o vosso gado, e eu vol-o darei por vosso gado, se falta o dinheiro.
17 They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread 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 ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but 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 for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be 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, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and 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 As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even 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 didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t 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, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow 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 It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for 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 They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
E disseram: A vida nos tens dado; achemos graça nos olhos de meu senhor, e seremos servos de Pharaó.
26 Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t 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 Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
Assim habitou Israel na terra do Egypto, na terra de Gosen, e n'ella tomaram possessão, e fructificaram, e multiplicaram-se muito.
28 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 The time came near that Israel must die, and he called 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 don’t 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 sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
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 Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
E disse elle: Jura-me. E elle jurou-lhe; e Israel inclinou-se sobre a cabeceira da cama.
