اَلتَّكْوِينُ 50
| فَوَقَعَ يُوسُفُ عَلَى وَجْهِ أَبِيهِ وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَبَّلَهُ. | ١ 1 |
Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
| وَأَمَرَ يُوسُفُ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلْأَطِبَّاءَ أَنْ يُحَنِّطُوا أَبَاهُ. فَحَنَّطَ ٱلْأَطِبَّاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢ 2 |
Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.
| وَكَمُلَ لَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا تَكْمُلُ أَيَّامُ ٱلْمُحَنَّطِينَ. وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ سَبْعِينَ يَوْمًا. | ٣ 3 |
Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for 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 for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favour in your eyes, please speak in the ears of 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, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «ٱصْعَدْ وَٱدْفِنْ أَبَاكَ كَمَا ٱسْتَحْلَفَكَ». | ٦ 6 |
Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like 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; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,
| وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا أَوْلَادَهُمْ وَغَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ. | ٨ 8 |
all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
| وَصَعِدَ مَعَهُ مَرْكَبَاتٌ وَفُرْسَانٌ، فَكَانَ ٱلْجَيْشُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا. | ٩ 9 |
Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.
| فَأَتَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ ٱلَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَنَاحُوا هُنَاكَ نَوْحًا عَظِيمًا وَشَدِيدًا جِدًّا، وَصَنَعَ لِأَبِيهِ مَنَاحَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.
| 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 grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
| وَفَعَلَ لَهُ بَنُوهُ هَكَذَا كَمَا أَوْصَاهُمْ: | ١٢ 12 |
His sons did to him just as he commanded 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 |
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, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يُوسُفُ إِلَى مِصْرَ هُوَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُ لِدَفْنِ أَبِيهِ بَعْدَ مَا دَفَنَ أَبَاهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried 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, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”
| فَأَوَصَوْا إِلَى يُوسُفَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَبُوكَ أَوْصَى قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ قَائِلًا: | ١٦ 16 |
They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded 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 |
‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of 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 fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. لِأَنَّهُ هَلْ أَنَا مَكَانَ ٱللهِ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for 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 evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
| فَٱلْآنَ لَا تَخَافُوا. أَنَا أَعُولُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادَكُمْ». فَعَزَّاهُمْ وَطَيَّبَ قُلُوبَهُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
| وَسَكَنَ يُوسُفُ فِي مِصْرَ هُوَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ، وَعَاشَ يُوسُفُ مِئَةً وَعَشَرَ سِنِينَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred and 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. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.
| 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 dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
| وَٱسْتَحْلَفَ يُوسُفُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «ٱللهُ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ فَتُصْعِدُونَ عِظَامِي مِنْ هُنَا». | ٢٥ 25 |
Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall 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, being one hundred and ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
