Бытие 50

1 И припад Иосиф на лице отца своего, плакася (горько) о нем и облобыза его:

And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father’s face weeping and kissing him.

2 и повеле Иосиф рабом своим погребателем погребсти отца своего. И погребоша погребателие Израиля.

And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.

3 И исполнишася ему четыредесять дний: тако бо исчисляются дние погребения: и плакася его Египет седмьдесят дний.

And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.

4 Егда же преидоша дние плача, глагола Иосиф ко вельможам фараоновым, глаголя: аще обретох благодать пред вами, рцыте о мне во ушы фараону, глаголюще:

And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:

5 отец мой закля мя прежде скончания (своего), глаголя: во гробе, егоже ископах себе в земли Ханаани, тамо мя погреби: ныне убо возшед погребу отца моего и возвращуся. И рекоша фараону по словеси Иосифову.

For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.

6 И рече фараон ко Иосифу: взыди, погреби отца твоего, якоже закля тя.

And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.

7 И взыде Иосиф погребсти отца своего. И совзыдоша с ним вси раби фараони и старейшины дому его, и вси старейшины земли Египетския,

So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao’s house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 и весь дом Иосифов и братия его, и весь дом отца его и сродницы его: овцы же и волы оставиша в земли Гесем.

And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.

9 И совзыдоша с ним и колесницы и конницы, и бысть полк велик зело.

He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company.

10 И приидоша на Гумно Атадово, еже есть об он пол Иордана, и рыдаша его рыданием велиим и крепким зело: и сотвори плачь отцу своему седмь дний.

And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full seven days.

11 И видеша жителие земли Ханаанския плачь на Гумне Атадове и реша: плачь велик сей есть Египтяном. Сего ради наречеся имя месту тому плачь Египетск, еже есть об он пол Иордана.

And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.

12 И сотвориша ему тако сынове его, якоже заповеда им.

So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.

13 И взяша его сынове его в землю Ханааню и погребоша его в пещере Сугубей, юже стяжа Авраам пещеру в стяжание гроба от Ефрона Хеттеанина, прямо Мамврии.

And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the field for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.

14 И возвратися Иосиф во Египет, сам и братия его и вси совозшедшии погребсти отца его.

And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.

15 Видевше же братия Иосифовы, яко умре отец их, реша: да не когда воспомянет злобу нашу Иосиф и воздаянием воздаст нам за вся злая, яже показахом ему.

Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.

16 И пришедше ко Иосифу рекоша: отец твой закля прежде кончины своея, глаголя:

And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,

17 тако рцыте Иосифу: остави им неправду и грех их, яко лукавая тебе показаша: и ныне приими неправду рабов Бога отца твоего. И плакася Иосиф, глаголющим им к нему.

That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.

18 И пришедше к нему рекоша: се, мы тебе раби.

And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.

19 И рече к ним Иосиф: не бойтеся, Божий бо есмь аз:

And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?

20 вы совещасте на мя злая, Бог же совеща о мне благая, дабы было якоже днесь, и препиталися бы людие мнози.

You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.

21 И рече им: не бойтеся, аз препитаю вас и домы вашя. И утеши их, и глагола им по сердцу их.

Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.

22 И вселися Иосиф во Египте сам и братия его и весь дом отца его: и поживе Иосиф лет сто десять.

And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father’s house: and lived a hundred and ten years.

23 И виде Иосиф Ефремли дети до третияго рода: и сынове Махира сына Манассиина родишася при бедрех Иосифовых.

And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasses were born on Joseph’s knees.

24 И рече Иосиф братии своей, глаголя: аз умираю, посещением же посетит вас Бог и изведет вас от земли сея в землю, о нейже клятся Бог отцем нашым Аврааму, Исааку и Иакову.

After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25 И закля Иосиф сыны Израилевы, глаголя: в посещении, имже посетит вас Бог, совознесите и кости моя отсюду с вами.

And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of this place:

26 И скончася Иосиф сый лет ста десяти: и погребоша его, и положиша в раце во Египте.

And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
