Postanak 50

1 Tada Josif pade na lice ocu svojemu, i plaka nad njim cjelujuæi ga.

And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

2 I zapovjedi Josif slugama svojim ljekarima da mirisima pomažu oca njegova; i ljekari pomazaše mirisima Izrailja.

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 I navrši mu se èetrdeset dana, jer toliko dana treba onijem koje pomažu mirisima; i plakaše za njim Misirci sedamdeset dana.

And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming: and the Egyptians wept for him threescore and ten days.

4 A kad proðoše žalosni dani, reèe Josif domašnjima Faraonovijem govoreæi: ako sam našao milost pred vama, govorite Faraonu i recite:

And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

5 Otac me je moj zakleo govoreæi: evo, ja æu skoro umrijeti; u grobu mojem, koji iskopah u zemlji Hananskoj, ondje me pogrebi. Pa sada da idem da pogrebem oca svojega, a poslije æu opet doæi.

My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

6 A Faraon mu reèe: idi, pogrebi oca svojega kako te je zakleo.

And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

7 I otide Josif da pogrebe oca svojega; i s njim poðoše sve sluge Faraonove, starješine od doma njegova i sve starješine od zemlje Misirske,

And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 I sav dom Josifov i braæa njegova i dom oca njegova; samo djecu svoju i ovce svoje i goveda svoja ostaviše u zemlji Gesemskoj.

and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

9 A poðe s njim i kola i konjika toliko da bješe vojska vrlo velika.

And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

10 A kad doðoše na gumno Atadovo, koje je s onu stranu Jordana, plakaše ondje mnogo i vrlo tužno; i Josif uèini žalost za ocem svojim za sedam dana.

And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

11 A ljudi iz one zemlje, Hananejci, kad vidješe plaè na gumnu Atadovu, rekoše: u velikoj su žalosti Misirci. Zato prozvaše ono mjesto s onu stranu Jordana žalost Misirska.

And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

12 I uèiniše mu sinovi njegovi kako im bješe zapovjedio.

And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

13 Odnesoše ga sinovi njegovi u zemlju Hanansku, i pogreboše ga u peæini na njivi Makpelskoj, koju kupi Avram da ima svoj grob u Efrona Hetejina prema Mamriji.

for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

14 I pogrebavši oca svojega vrati se Josif u Misir i braæa njegova i svi koji bijahu izašli s njim da pogrebu oca njegova.

And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 A braæa Josifova videæi gdje im otac umrije, rekoše: može biti da se Josif srdi na nas, pa æe nam se osvetiti za sve zlo što mu uèinismo.

And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

16 Zato poruèiše Josifu: otac tvoj zapovjedi na smrti i reèe:

And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

17 Ovako kažite Josifu: molim te, oprosti braæi svojoj bezakonje i grijeh, što ti pakostiše; sada oprosti bezakonje slugama Boga oca tvojega. A Josif zaplaka se kad mu to rekoše.

So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

18 Poslije doðoše i braæa njegova i padoše pred njim i rekoše: evo smo sluge tvoje.

And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

19 A Josif im reèe: ne bojte se, zar sam ja mjesto Boga?

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

20 Vi ste mislili zlo po me, ali je Bog mislio dobro, da uèini što se danas zbiva, da se saèuva u životu mnogi narod.

And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

21 Ne bojte se dakle; ja æu hraniti vas i vašu djecu. Tako ih utješi i oslobodi.

Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

22 Tako življaše Josif u Misiru s domom oca svojega, i poživje sto i deset godina.

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

23 I vidje Josif sinove Jefremove do treæega koljena; i sinovi Mahira sina Manasijina rodiše se i odrastoše na koljenima Josifovijem.

And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph’s knees.

24 I reèe Josif braæi svojoj: ja æu skoro umrijeti; ali æe vas zacijelo Bog pohoditi, i izvešæe vas iz ove zemlje u zemlju za koju se zakleo Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

25 I zakle Josif sinove Izrailjeve i reèe: zaista æe vas pohoditi Bog; a vi onda odnesite kosti moje odavde.

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

26 Potom umrije Josif, a bješe mu sto i deset godina; i pomazavši ga mirisima metnuše ga u kovèeg u Misiru.

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
