Genesis 50

1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.

quod cernens Ioseph ruit super faciem patris flens et deosculans eum

2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.

praecepitque servis suis medicis ut aromatibus condirent patrem

3 Forty days were required for it, for that is how many the days it takes for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him for seventy days.

quibus iussa explentibus transierunt quadraginta dies iste quippe mos erat cadaverum conditorum flevitque eum Aegyptus septuaginta diebus

4 When the days for mourning for him had passed, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

et expleto planctus tempore locutus est Ioseph ad familiam Pharaonis si inveni gratiam in conspectu vestro loquimini in auribus Pharaonis

5 'My father made me take an oath, saying, "Look, I am dying. Bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will return again.'"

eo quod pater meus adiuraverit me dicens en morior in sepulchro meo quod fodi mihi in terra Chanaan sepelies me ascendam igitur et sepeliam patrem meum ac revertar

6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."

dixitque ei Pharao ascende et sepeli patrem tuum sicut adiuratus es

7 So Joseph went up to bury his father, and all the officials of Pharaoh went up with him, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

quo ascendente ierunt cum eo omnes senes domus Pharaonis cunctique maiores natu terrae Aegypti

8 all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

domus Ioseph cum fratribus suis absque parvulis et gregibus atque armentis quae dereliquerant in terra Gessen

9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.

habuit quoque in comitatu currus et equites et facta est turba non modica

10 Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad which is across the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very bitter lamentation. And he observed seven days of mourning for his father.

veneruntque ad aream Atad quae sita est trans Iordanem ubi celebrantes exequias planctu magno atque vehementi impleverunt septem dies

11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is across the Jordan.

quod cum vidissent habitatores terrae Chanaan dixerunt planctus magnus est iste Aegyptiis et idcirco appellaverunt nomen loci illius Planctus Aegypti

12 So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,

fecerunt ergo filii Iacob sicut praeceperat eis

13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hethite.

et portantes eum in terram Chanaan sepelierunt in spelunca duplici quam emerat Abraham cum agro in possessionem sepulchri ab Ephron Hettheo contra faciem Mambre

14 Then after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up with him to bury his father.

reversusque est Ioseph in Aegyptum cum fratribus suis et omni comitatu sepulto patre

15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back in full for all of the evil that we did to him."

quo mortuo timentes fratres eius et mutuo conloquentes ne forte memor sit iniuriae quam passus est et reddat nobis malum omne quod fecimus

16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,

mandaverunt ei pater tuus praecepit nobis antequam moreretur

17 Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

ut haec tibi verbis illius diceremus obsecro ut obliviscaris sceleris fratrum tuorum et peccati atque malitiae quam exercuerunt in te nos quoque oramus ut servis Dei patris tui dimittas iniquitatem hanc quibus auditis flevit Ioseph

18 Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."

veneruntque ad eum fratres sui et proni in terram dixerunt servi tui sumus

19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

quibus ille respondit nolite timere num Dei possumus rennuere voluntatem

20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.

vos cogitastis de me malum et Deus vertit illud in bonum ut exaltaret me sicut inpraesentiarum cernitis et salvos faceret multos populos

21 So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.

nolite metuere ego pascam vos et parvulos vestros consolatusque est eos et blande ac leniter est locutus

22 So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

et habitavit in Aegypto cum omni domo patris sui vixitque centum decem annis

23 Joseph saw Ephraim's descendants to the third generation. The children also of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were counted as Joseph's own.

et vidit Ephraim filios usque ad tertiam generationem filii quoque Machir filii Manasse nati sunt in genibus Ioseph

24 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."

quibus transactis locutus est fratribus suis post mortem meam Deus visitabit vos et ascendere faciet de terra ista ad terram quam iuravit Abraham Isaac et Iacob

25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, "God will surely take care of you. Then you must carry up my bones from here."

cumque adiurasset eos atque dixisset Deus visitabit vos asportate vobiscum ossa mea de loco isto

26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.

mortuus est expletis centum decem vitae suae annis et conditus aromatibus repositus est in loculo in Aegypto
