Postanak 50
1 Josip se baci na oca, suzama mu oblije lice, izljubi ga.
And Joseph falls on his father’s face, and weeps over him, and kisses him;
2 Poslije toga Josip naredi liječnicima koji su se nalazili u njegovoj službi da mu oca balzamiraju, i oni balzamiraše Izraela.
and Joseph commands his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm Israel;
3 Trebalo je četrdeset dana: toliko, naime, traje balzamiranje. Sedamdeset su ga dana Egipćani oplakivali.
and they fulfill for him forty days, for so they fulfill the days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians weep for him seventy days.
4 A kad je prošlo vrijeme oplakivanja, Josip reče onima u dvoru faraonovu: “Učinite mi milost i prenesite faraonu ovo:
And the days of his weeping pass away, and Joseph speaks to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 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.”
My father caused me to swear, saying, Behold, I am dying; in my burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of Canaan, there you bury me; and now, please let me go up and bury my father, then I return”;
6 Faraon odgovori: “Otiđi gore i sahrani svoga oca kako si mu se zakleo.”
and Pharaoh says, “Go up and bury your father, as he caused you to swear.”
7 Tako Josip ode da sahrani oca. S njim su pošli i svi faraonovi službenici - odličnici njegova dvora i svi dostojanstvenici egipatske zemlje;
And Joseph goes up to bury his father, and all [the] servants of Pharaoh go up with him, [the] elderly of his house, and all [the] elderly of the land of Egypt,
8 sva Josipova obitelj, njegova braća i očeva porodica. Jedino su u gošenskom kraju ostala njihova djeca, njihove ovce i goveda.
and all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and the house of his father; only their infants, and their flock, and their herd, have they left in the land of Goshen;
9 S njim su išla i kola i konjanici: bila je to vrlo duga povorka.
and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.
10 Stigavši u Goren Haatad, s onu stranu Jordana, održaše ondje veliko i svečano naricanje. Josip održa sedmodnevnu žalost za ocem.
And they come to the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is] beyond the Jordan, and they lament there, a lamentation great and very grievous; and he makes for his father a mourning seven days,
11 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.
and the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, sees the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad and says, “A grievous mourning [is] this to the Egyptians”; therefore [one] has called its name “The mourning of the Egyptians,” which [is] beyond the Jordan.
12 Jakovljevi sinovi učine kako im je naredio otac:
And his sons do to him so as he commanded them,
13 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.
and his sons carry him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of Mamre.
14 Pošto je sahranio svoga oca, Josip se vrati u Egipat - on, njegova braća i svi koji su s njim išli da mu oca pokopaju.
And Joseph turns back to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his burying his father.
15 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?”
And the brothers of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, “Perhaps Joseph hates us, and certainly returns to us all the evil which we did with him.”
16 Stoga poruče Josipu ovako: “Pred svoju smrt tvoj je otac naredio:
And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, saying,
17 '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.
Thus you say to Joseph: Ah, now, please bear with the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they have done you evil; and now, please bear with the transgression of the servants of the God of your father”; and Joseph weeps in their speaking to him.
18 Tada sama njegova braća dođu k njemu, bace se preda nj te mu reknu: “Evo nas k tebi da budemo tvoji robovi!”
And his brothers also go and fall before him, and say, “Behold, we [are] to you for servants.”
19 Josip im odvrati: “Ne bojte se! TÓa zar sam ja namjesto Boga!
And Joseph says to them, “Do not fear, for [am] I in the place of God?
20 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.
As for you, you devised evil against me, [but] God devised it for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a numerous people;
21 Zato se ne bojte! Ja ću se brinuti za vas i za vašu djecu.” Tako ih je smirio ljubeznim riječima.
and now, do not fear: I nourish you and your infants”; and he comforts them, and speaks to their heart.
22 Josip ostane u Egiptu zajedno s rodom svojim i očevim. Poživje Josip stotinu i deset godina.
And Joseph dwells in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph lives one hundred and ten years,
23 Tako je Josip gledao Efrajimovu djecu do trećeg koljena; a rađala se djeca i Makiru, Manašeovu sinu, na Josipovim koljenima.
and Joseph looks on Ephraim’s sons of a third [generation]; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.
24 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.”
And Joseph says to his brothers, “I am dying, and God certainly inspects you, and has caused you to go up from this land, to the land which He has sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
25 Tada Josip zakune Izraelove sinove: “Bog će se vas doista sjetiti, i tada ponesite moje kosti odavde!”
And Joseph causes the sons of Israel to swear, saying, “God certainly inspects you, and you have brought up my bones from this [place].”
26 Josip umrije kad mu bijaše sto i deset godina; balzamiraše ga i u Egiptu položiše u lijes.
And Joseph dies, a son of one hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.
