Kejadian 50

1 Yusuf merebahkan dirinya pada ayahnya sambil menangis dan mencium wajahnya.

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

2 Lalu Yusuf memerintahkan tukang pengawet mayat untuk merempah-rempahi jenazah Yakub.

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

3 Pekerjaan itu memakan waktu empat puluh hari, yaitu waktu yang biasanya diperlukan untuk merempah-rempahi mayat. Orang Mesir berkabung bagi Yakub, tujuh puluh hari lamanya.

And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.

4 Setelah habis masa berkabung, berkatalah Yusuf kepada pegawai-pegawai raja, "Sampaikanlah pesan ini kepada raja,

And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke 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 'Waktu ayah hamba sudah dekat ajalnya, disuruhnya hamba berjanji kepadanya, bahwa hamba akan menguburkan dia di dalam kuburan yang telah disiapkannya di tanah Kanaan. Sebab itu, izinkanlah hamba pergi untuk menguburkan ayah hamba. Setelah itu hamba akan kembali.'"

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

6 Lalu berkatalah raja, "Pergilah menguburkan ayahmu seperti yang telah kaujanjikan kepadanya."

And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear.

7 Lalu pergilah Yusuf untuk menguburkan ayahnya. Semua pegawai raja, para tua-tua istana dan semua pembesar Mesir, pergi bersama-sama dengan Yusuf.

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 Keluarganya, saudara-saudaranya, dan sanak saudaranya yang lain pergi juga. Hanya anak-anak kecil dan ternak mereka ditinggalkan di daerah Gosyen.

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 Pasukan yang berkereta dan berkuda juga ikut, sehingga iring-iringan itu panjang sekali.

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

10 Ketika mereka sampai di tempat orang memukul gandum di Goren-Haatad, di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan, mereka meratap dengan sedih dan suara nyaring. Yusuf mengadakan upacara berkabung, tujuh hari lamanya.

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

11 Ketika penduduk Kanaan melihat perkabungan di Goren-Haatad itu, berkatalah mereka, "Alangkah pilunya upacara perkabungan orang Mesir itu!" Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamakan Abel-Mizraim.

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 Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

12 Demikianlah anak-anak Yakub melakukan apa yang dipesankan Yakub kepada mereka.

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

13 Mereka mengangkut jenazahnya ke Kanaan dan menguburkannya dalam gua Makhpela, di sebelah timur Mamre, di ladang yang telah dibeli oleh Abraham dari Efron orang Het itu, untuk dijadikan pekuburan.

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 Setelah Yusuf menguburkan ayahnya, ia kembali ke Mesir bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudaranya dan semua orang yang mengikuti dia untuk penguburan ayahnya itu.

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 Setelah ayah mereka meninggal, abang-abang Yusuf berkata, "Bagaimana seandainya Yusuf dendam dan mau membalas kejahatan kita dahulu?"

And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will possibly hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

16 Sebab itu mereka mengirim pesan ini kepada Yusuf, "Sebelum ayah kita meninggal,

And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Your father did command before he died, saying,

17 ia menyuruh kami mengatakan kepadamu begini, 'Ampunilah kesalahan yang dahulu dilakukan abang-abangmu terhadapmu.' Jadi, sebagai hamba-hamba Allah yang dipuja ayah kita, kami mohon, ampunilah kesalahan yang telah kami lakukan." Yusuf menangis pada waktu menerima pesan itu.

So shall all of you say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray you now, the trespass of your brethren, and their sin; for they did unto you evil: and now, we pray you, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke unto him.

18 Lalu saudara-saudaranya itu sendiri datang dan sujud di hadapannya serta berkata, "Kami ini hambamu."

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

19 Tetapi Yusuf berkata kepada mereka, "Jangan takut; sebab saya tidak bisa bertindak sebagai Allah.

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

20 Kalian telah bermupakat untuk berbuat jahat kepada saya, tetapi Allah mengubah kejahatan itu menjadi kebaikan, supaya dengan yang terjadi dahulu itu banyak orang yang hidup sekarang dapat diselamatkan.

But as for you, all of you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

21 Jangan khawatir. Saya akan mencukupi kebutuhan kalian dan anak-anak kalian." Demikianlah ia menentramkan hati mereka dengan kata-kata yang ramah, sehingga mereka terharu.

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

22 Yusuf tetap tinggal di Mesir dengan sanak saudaranya; ia hidup sampai berumur seratus sepuluh tahun.

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

23 Ia masih sempat melihat anak cucu Efraim. Ia sempat juga mengasuh anak-anak Makhir, yaitu cucu Manasye, sebagai anaknya sendiri.

And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.

24 Katanya kepada saudara-saudaranya, "Ajal saya sudah dekat, tetapi Allah pasti akan memelihara kalian dan memimpin kalian keluar dari negeri ini, ke negeri yang telah dijanjikan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub."

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

25 Lalu Yusuf menyuruh semua sanak saudaranya bersumpah, katanya, "Berjanjilah kepada saya, bahwa apabila Allah memimpin kalian ke negeri itu, kalian akan membawa juga jenazah saya."

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

26 Kemudian meninggallah Yusuf di Mesir pada usia seratus sepuluh tahun. Mereka merempah-rempahi jenazahnya dan menaruhnya dalam peti mati.

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