1 Мојсијева 50

1 Тада Јосиф паде на лице оцу свом, и плака над њим целујући га.

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

2 И заповеди Јосиф слугама својим лекарима да мирисима помажу оца његовог; и лекари помазаше мирисима Израиља.

And Joseph commanded his servants the embalmers to embalm his father; and the embalmers embalmed Israel.

3 И наврши му се четрдесет дана, јер толико дана треба оним које помажу мирисима; и плакаше за њим Мисирци седамдесет дана.

And they fulfilled forty days for him, for so are the days of embalming numbered; and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.

4 А кад прођоше жалосни дани, рече Јосиф домашњима Фараоновим говорећи: Ако сам нашао милост пред вама, говорите Фараону и реците:

And when the days of mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the princes of Pharao, saying, If I have found favor in your sight, speak concerning me in the ears of Pharao, saying,

5 Отац ме је мој заклео говорећи: Ево, ја ћу скоро умрети; у гробу мом, који ископах у земљи хананској, онде ме погреби. Па сада да идем да погребем оца свог, а после ћу опет доћи.

My father adjured me, saying, In the sepulchre which I dug for myself in the land of Chanaan, there you shall bury me; now then I will go up and bury my father, and return again.

6 А Фараон му рече: Иди, погреби оца свог како те је заклео.

And Pharao said to Joseph, Go up, bury your father, as he constrained you to swear.

7 И отиде Јосиф да погребе оца свог; и с њим пођоше све слуге Фараонове, старешине од дома његовог и све старешине од земље мисирске.

So Joseph went up to bury his father; and all the servants of Pharao went up with him, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.

8 И сав дом Јосифов и браћа његова и дом оца његовог; само децу своју и овце своје и говеда своја оставише у земљи гесемској.

And all the household of Joseph, and his brethren, and all the house of his father, and his kindred; and they left behind the sheep and the oxen in the land of Gesem.

9 А пође с њим кола и коњаника толико да беше војска врло велика.

And there went up with him also chariots and horsemen; and there was a very great company.

10 А кад дођоше на гумно Атадово, које је с оне стране Јордана, плакаше онде много и врло тужно; и Јосиф учини жалост за оцем својим за седам дана.

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

11 А људи из оне земље, Хананејци, кад видеше плач на гумну Атадовом, рекоше: У великој су жалости Мисирци. Зато прозваше оно место с оне стране Јордана Жалост мисирска.

And the inhabitants of the land of Chanaan saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, and said, This is a great mourning to the Egyptians; therefore he called its name, The mourning of Egypt, which is beyond Jordan.

12 И учинише му синови његови како им беше заповедио.

And thus his sons did to him.

13 Однесоше га синови његови у земљу хананску, и погребоше га у пећини на њиви макпелској, коју купи Аврам да има свој гроб у Ефрона Хетејина према Мамрији.

So his sons carried him up into the land of Chanaan, and buried him in the double cave, which cave Abraam bought for possession of a burying place, of Ephrom the Chettite, before Mambre.

14 И погребавши оца свог врати се Јосиф у Мисир и браћа његова и сви који беху изашли с њим да погребу оца његовог.

And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and those that had gone up with him to bury his father.

15 А браћа Јосифова видећи где им отац умре, рекоше: Може бити да се Јосиф срди на нас, па ће нам се осветити за све зло што му учинисмо.

And when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, [Let us take heed], lest at any time Joseph remember evil against us, and recompense to us all the evils which we have done against him.

16 Зато поручише Јосифу: Отац твој заповеди на самрти и рече:

And they came to Joseph, and said, Your father adjured [us] before his death, saying,

17 Овако кажите Јосифу: Молим те, опрости браћи својој безакоње и грех, што ти пакостише; сада опрости безакоње слугама Бога оца твог. А Јосиф заплака се кад му то рекоше.

Thus say you to Joseph, Forgive them their injustice and their sin, forasmuch as they have done you evil; and now pardon the injustice of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept while they spoke to him.

18 После дођоше и браћа његова и падоше пред њим и рекоше: Ево смо слуге твоје.

And they came to him and said, We, these [persons], are your servants.

19 А Јосиф им рече: Не бојте се, зар сам ја место Бога?

And Joseph said to them, Fear not, for I am God's.

20 Ви сте мислили зло по ме, али је Бог мислио добро, да учини шта се данас збива, да се сачува у животу многи народ.

You took counsel against me for evil, but God took counsel for me for good, that [the matter] might be as [it is] today, and much people might be fed.

21 Не бојте се дакле; ја ћу хранити вас и вашу децу. Тако их утеши и ослободи.

And he said to them, Fear not, I will maintain you, and your families: and he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

22 Тако живљаше Јосиф у Мисиру с домом оца свог, и поживе сто и десет година.

And Joseph lived in Egypt, he and his brethren, and all the family of his father; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.

23 И виде Јосиф синове Јефремове до трећег колена; и синови Махира сина Манасијиног родише се и одрастоше на коленима Јосифовим.

And Joseph saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation; and the sons of Machir the son of Manasse were borne on the sides of Joseph.

24 И рече Јосиф браћи својој: Ја ћу скоро умрети; али ће вас зацело Бог походити, и извешће вас из ове земље у земљу за коју се заклео Авраму, Исаку и Јакову.

And Joseph spoke to his brethren, saying, I die, and God will surely visit you, and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers, Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob.

25 И закле Јосиф синове Израиљеве и рече: Заиста ће вас походити Бог; а ви онда однесите кости моје одавде.

And Joseph adjured the sons of Israel, saying, At the visitation with which God shall visit you, then you shall carry up my bones hence with you.

26 Потом умре Јосиф, а беше му сто и десет година; и помазавши га мирисима метнуше га у ковчег у Мисиру.

And Joseph died, aged an hundred and ten years; and they prepared his corpse, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
