فَوَقَعَ يُوسُفُ عَلَى وَجْهِ أَبِيهِ وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَبَّلَهُ. ١ 1
Then Joseph was so distressed that he collapsed on the face of his father, and he wept over him, and he kissed him.
وَأَمَرَ يُوسُفُ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلْأَطِبَّاءَ أَنْ يُحَنِّطُوا أَبَاهُ. فَحَنَّطَ ٱلْأَطِبَّاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢ 2
Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
وَكَمُلَ لَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا تَكْمُلُ أَيَّامُ ٱلْمُحَنَّطِينَ. وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ سَبْعِينَ يَوْمًا. ٣ 3
They took forty days, for that was the full time for embalming. The Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
وَبَعْدَ مَا مَضَتْ أَيَّامُ بُكَائِهِ كَلَّمَ يُوسُفُ بَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عُيُونِكُمْ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي مَسَامِعِ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلِينَ: ٤ 4
When the days of weeping were over, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak to Pharaoh, saying,
أَبِي ٱسْتَحْلَفَنِي قَائِلًا: هَا أَنَا أَمُوتُ. فِي قَبْرِيَ ٱلَّذِي حَفَرْتُ لِنَفْسِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ هُنَاكَ تَدْفِنُنِي، فَٱلْآنَ أَصْعَدُ لِأَدْفِنَ أَبِي وَأَرْجِعُ». ٥ 5
'My father made me swear, saying, “See, I am about to die. Bury me in my tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. There you will bury me.” Now let me go up and bury my father, and then I will return.'”
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «ٱصْعَدْ وَٱدْفِنْ أَبَاكَ كَمَا ٱسْتَحْلَفَكَ». ٦ 6
Pharaoh answered, “Go and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
فَصَعِدَ يُوسُفُ لِيَدْفِنَ أَبَاهُ، وَصَعِدَ مَعَهُ جَمِيعُ عَبِيدِ فِرْعَوْنَ، شُيُوخُ بَيْتِهِ وَجَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، ٧ 7
Joseph went up to bury his father. All the officials of Pharaoh went with him—the elders of his household, all the senior officials of the land of Egypt,
وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا أَوْلَادَهُمْ وَغَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ. ٨ 8
with all Joseph's household and his brothers, and his father's household. But their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen.
وَصَعِدَ مَعَهُ مَرْكَبَاتٌ وَفُرْسَانٌ، فَكَانَ ٱلْجَيْشُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا. ٩ 9
Chariots and horsemen also went with him. It was a very large group of people.
فَأَتَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ ٱلَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَنَاحُوا هُنَاكَ نَوْحًا عَظِيمًا وَشَدِيدًا جِدًّا، وَصَنَعَ لِأَبِيهِ مَنَاحَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ١٠ 10
When they came to the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned with very great and grievous sorrow. There Joseph made a seven-day mourning for his father.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَهْلُ ٱلْبِلَادِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ ٱلْمَنَاحَةَ فِي بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ قَالُوا: «هَذِهِ مَنَاحَةٌ ثَقِيلَةٌ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «آبَلَ مِصْرَايِمَ». ٱلَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. ١١ 11
When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a very sad occasion for the Egyptians.” That is why the place was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
وَفَعَلَ لَهُ بَنُوهُ هَكَذَا كَمَا أَوْصَاهُمْ: ١٢ 12
So his sons did for Jacob just as he had instructed them.
حَمَلَهُ بَنُوهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ حَقْلِ ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ، ٱلَّتِي ٱشْتَرَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَعَ ٱلْحَقْلِ مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ مِنْ عِفْرُونَ ٱلْحِثِّيِ أَمَامَ مَمْرَا. ١٣ 13
His sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. Abraham had bought the cave with the field for a burial place. He had bought it from Ephron the Hittite.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يُوسُفُ إِلَى مِصْرَ هُوَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُ لِدَفْنِ أَبِيهِ بَعْدَ مَا دَفَنَ أَبَاهُ. ١٤ 14
After he had buried his father, Joseph returned into Egypt, he, along with his brothers, and all who had accompanied him to bury his father.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ، قَالُوا: «لَعَلَّ يُوسُفَ يَضْطَهِدُنَا وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْنَا بِهِ». ١٥ 15
When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds on to anger against us and wants to repay us in full for all the evil we did to him?”
فَأَوَصَوْا إِلَى يُوسُفَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَبُوكَ أَوْصَى قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ قَائِلًا: ١٦ 16
So they commanded the presence of Joseph, saying, “Your father gave instructions before he died, saying,
هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِيُوسُفَ: آهِ! ٱصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ إِخْوَتِكَ وَخَطِيَّتِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ صَنَعُوا بِكَ شَرًّا. فَٱلْآنَ ٱصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ عَبِيدِ إِلَهِ أَبِيكَ». فَبَكَى يُوسُفُ حِينَ كَلَّمُوهُ. ١٧ 17
'Tell Joseph this, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin when they did evil to you.”' Now please forgive the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
وَأَتَى إِخْوَتُهُ أَيْضًا وَوَقَعُوا أَمَامَهُ وَقَالُوا: «هَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدُكَ». ١٨ 18
His brothers also went and lay facedown before him. They said, “See, we are your servants.”
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. لِأَنَّهُ هَلْ أَنَا مَكَانَ ٱللهِ؟ ١٩ 19
But Joseph answered them, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
أَنْتُمْ قَصَدْتُمْ لِي شَرًّا، أَمَّا ٱللهُ فَقَصَدَ بِهِ خَيْرًا، لِكَيْ يَفْعَلَ كَمَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِيُحْيِيَ شَعْبًا كَثِيرًا. ٢٠ 20
As for you, you meant to harm me, but God meant it for good, to preserve the lives of many people, as you see today.
فَٱلْآنَ لَا تَخَافُوا. أَنَا أَعُولُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادَكُمْ». فَعَزَّاهُمْ وَطَيَّبَ قُلُوبَهُمْ. ٢١ 21
So now do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.” He comforted them in this way and spoke kindly to their hearts.
وَسَكَنَ يُوسُفُ فِي مِصْرَ هُوَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ، وَعَاشَ يُوسُفُ مِئَةً وَعَشَرَ سِنِينَ. ٢٢ 22
Joseph lived in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived one hundred ten years.
وَرَأَى يُوسُفُ لِأَفْرَايِمَ أَوْلَادَ ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ. وَأَوْلَادُ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى أَيْضًا وُلِدُوا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْ يُوسُفَ. ٢٣ 23
Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. He also saw the children of Machir son of Manasseh, who were placed on the knees of Joseph.
وَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «أَنَا أَمُوتُ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ وَيُصْعِدُكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ». ٢٤ 24
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die; but God will surely come to you and lead you up out of this land to the land which he swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
وَٱسْتَحْلَفَ يُوسُفُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «ٱللهُ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ فَتُصْعِدُونَ عِظَامِي مِنْ هُنَا». ٢٥ 25
Then Joseph made the people of Israel swear an oath. He said, “God will surely come to you. At that time you must carry up my bones from here.”
ثُمَّ مَاتَ يُوسُفُ وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ مِئَةٍ وَعَشَرِ سِنِينَ، فَحَنَّطُوهُ وَوُضِعَ فِي تَابُوتٍ فِي مِصْرَ. ٢٦ 26
So Joseph died, 110 years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
