Genesis 50
1 Joseph, realizing this, fell upon his father’s face, weeping and kissing him.
Josip se baci na oca, suzama mu oblije lice, izljubi ga.
2 And he instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.
Poslije toga Josip naredi liječnicima koji su se nalazili u njegovoj službi da mu oca balzamiraju, i oni balzamiraše Izraela.
3 And while they were fulfilling his orders, forty days passed. For this was the method of embalming dead bodies. And Egypt wept for him for seventy days.
Trebalo je četrdeset dana: toliko, naime, traje balzamiranje. Sedamdeset su ga dana Egipćani oplakivali.
4 And when the time for mourning was fulfilled, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharaoh: “If I have found favor in your sight, speak to the ears of Pharaoh.
A kad je prošlo vrijeme oplakivanja, Josip reče onima u dvoru faraonovu: “Učinite mi milost i prenesite faraonu ovo:
5 For my father made me swear, saying: ‘See, I am dying. You shall bury me in my sepulcher which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Therefore, I shall go up and bury my father, and then return.”
Moj me otac zakleo govoreći: 'Kad umrem, sahrani me u grob koji sam sebi pripravio u zemlji kanaanskoj!' Dopusti mi da odem gore i sahranim oca, a onda ću se vratiti.”
6 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just as he made you swear.”
Faraon odgovori: “Otiđi gore i sahrani svoga oca kako si mu se zakleo.”
7 So as he went up, all the elders of the house of Pharaoh went with him, along with every patriarch in the land of Egypt,
Tako Josip ode da sahrani oca. S njim su pošli i svi faraonovi službenici - odličnici njegova dvora i svi dostojanstvenici egipatske zemlje;
8 and the house of Joseph with his brothers, except their little ones and flocks and also the herds, which they left behind in the land of Goshen.
sva Josipova obitelj, njegova braća i očeva porodica. Jedino su u gošenskom kraju ostala njihova djeca, njihove ovce i goveda.
9 Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.
S njim su išla i kola i konjanici: bila je to vrlo duga povorka.
10 And they arrived at the threshing place of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan. There they spent seven full days celebrating the funeral rites with a great and vehement lamentation.
Stigavši u Goren Haatad, s onu stranu Jordana, održaše ondje veliko i svečano naricanje. Josip održa sedmodnevnu žalost za ocem.
11 And when the inhabitants of the land of Canaan had seen this, they said, “This is a great Lamentation for the Egyptians.” And for this reason, the name of that place was called, “The Lamentation of Egypt.”
Kad su stanovnici te zemlje, Kanaanci, vidjeli tugovanje u Goren Haatadu, rekoše: “To ti je svečano naricanje Egipćana!” Zato nazovu to mjesto Abel-Misrajim. Nalazi se s onu stranu Jordana.
12 And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed them.
Jakovljevi sinovi učine kako im je naredio otac:
13 And carrying him into the land of Canaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial, opposite Mamre.
odnesu ga u zemlju kanaansku te ga sahrane u spilji na polju Makpeli kod Mamre, polju što ga je Abraham kupio od Hetita Efrona za sahranjivanje.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brothers and all those of his company, having buried his father.
Pošto je sahranio svoga oca, Josip se vrati u Egipat - on, njegova braća i svi koji su s njim išli da mu oca pokopaju.
15 Now that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that we did to him.”
Kad su Josipova braća vidjela da im je otac umro, rekoše: “Što ako je Josip na nas ljut i pokuša uzvratiti nam za sve zlo koje smo mi njemu nanijeli?”
16 So they sent a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed us before he died,
Stoga poruče Josipu ovako: “Pred svoju smrt tvoj je otac naredio:
17 that we should say these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
'Ovako recite Josipu: Oprosti braći svojoj zlo i grijeh što su onako okrutno prema tebi postupili.' Oprosti, dakle, uvredu slugama Boga svoga oca!” Na te riječi Josip brizne u plač.
18 And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
Tada sama njegova braća dođu k njemu, bace se preda nj te mu reknu: “Evo nas k tebi da budemo tvoji robovi!”
19 And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will of God?
Josip im odvrati: “Ne bojte se! TÓa zar sam ja namjesto Boga!
20 You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
Osim toga, iako ste vi namjeravali da meni naudite, Bog je bio ono okrenuo na dobro: da učini što se danas zbiva - da spasi život velikom narodu.
21 Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
Zato se ne bojte! Ja ću se brinuti za vas i za vašu djecu.” Tako ih je smirio ljubeznim riječima.
22 And he lived in Egypt with all his father’s house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years.
Josip ostane u Egiptu zajedno s rodom svojim i očevim. Poživje Josip stotinu i deset godina.
23 And he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto Joseph’s knees.
Tako je Josip gledao Efrajimovu djecu do trećeg koljena; a rađala se djeca i Makiru, Manašeovu sinu, na Josipovim koljenima.
24 After these things happened, he said to his brothers: “God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Napokon reče Josip svojoj braći: “Ja ću, evo, naskoro umrijeti. Ali će se Bog, zacijelo, sjetiti vas i odvesti vas iz ove zemlje u zemlju što ju je pod zakletvom obećao Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu.”
25 And when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”
Tada Josip zakune Izraelove sinove: “Bog će se vas doista sjetiti, i tada ponesite moje kosti odavde!”
26 he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
Josip umrije kad mu bijaše sto i deset godina; balzamiraše ga i u Egiptu položiše u lijes.
