1 Mojžišova 50
1 Tedy padl Jozef na tvář otce svého, a plakal nad ním, líbaje ho.
Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
2 A poručil služebníkům svým lékařům, aby vonnými věcmi pomazali otce jeho. I pomazali lékaři vonnými věcmi Izraele.
Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
3 A vyplnilo se při něm čtyřidceti dní; (nebo tak vyplňují se dnové těch, kteříž mazáni bývají vonnými věcmi). I plakali ho Egyptští za sedmdesáte dní.
So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
4 Když pak dnové pláče toho pominuli, mluvil Jozef k domu Faraonovu, řka: Jestliže jsem nyní nalezl milost před očima vašima, mluvte, prosím, v uši Faraonovy, a rcete:
When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
5 Otec můj přísahou mne zavázal, řka: Aj, já umírám; v hrobě mém, kterýž jsem sobě vykopal v zemi Kananejské, tam mne pochovej. Nyní tedy, prosím, nechť vstoupím a pochovám otce svého, a navrátím se zase.
‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
6 I řekl Farao: Vstup a pochovej otce svého tak, jakž tě přísahou zavázal.
After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
7 Tedy vstoupil Jozef, aby pochoval otce svého, a vstoupili s ním všickni služebníci Faraonovi, starší domu jeho a všickni starší země Egyptské,
So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
8 Všecken také dům Jozefův, a všickni bratří jeho i dům otce jeho; toliko dětí svých, ovec a volů nechali v zemi Gesen.
His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
9 Vstoupili s ním také i vozové a jezdci, a bylo vojsko to veliké velmi.
Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
10 I přišli až k místu Atád, kteréž jest při brodu Jordánském, a kvílili tam kvílením velikým a velmi žalostným; i držel tu zámutek po otci svém za dnů sedm.
They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
11 Vidouce pak obyvatelé země té, totiž Kananejští, zámutek na místě tom Atád, řekli: Těžký to mají zámutek Egyptští. Protož nazváno jest jméno jeho Abel Mizraim, a to jest při brodu Jordánském.
When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
12 Učinili tedy s ním synové jeho tak, jakž jim byl poručil.
Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
13 A donesše ho do země Kananejské, pochovali ho v jeskyni na poli Machpelah, kterouž byl koupil Abraham s tím polem k dědičnému pohřbu od Efrona Hetejského, naproti Mamre.
They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
14 A když pochoval Jozef otce svého, navrátil se do Egypta s bratřími svými a se všemi, kteříž byli vstoupili s ním, aby pochovali otce jeho.
After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
15 Vidouce pak bratří Jozefovi, že umřel otec jejich, řekli: Snad v nenávisti nás míti bude Jozef, a vrchovatě nahradí nám všecko zlé, kteréž jsme jemu činili.
After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
16 Protož vzkázali Jozefovi, řkouce: Otec tvůj ještě před smrtí svou přikázal, řka:
So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
17 Takto díte Jozefovi: Prosím, odpusť již bratřím svým přestoupení a hřích jejich; nebo zle učinili tobě. Protož již odpusť, prosím, přestoupení služebníkům Boha, jehož ctil otec tvůj. I rozplakal se Jozef, když k němu mluvili.
‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
18 Přistoupili potom také bratří jeho, a padše před ním, řekli: Aj, my jsme služebníci tvoji.
Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
19 Jimž odpověděl Jozef: Nebojte se; nebo zdaliž jsem já vám za Boha?
But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
20 Vy zajisté skládali jste proti mně zlé; ale Bůh obrátil to v dobré, aby učinil to, což vidíte nyní, a při životu zachoval lid mnohý.
As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
21 Protož nebojte se již; já chovati vás budu i děti vaše. A tak těšil je, a mluvil k srdci jejich.
So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
22 Bydlil pak Jozef v Egyptě, on i dům otce jeho, a živ byl Jozef sto a deset let.
Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
23 A viděl Jozef syny Efraimovy až do třetího pokolení; ano i synové Machira, syna Manassesova, vychováni jsou u Jozefa.
He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
24 Mluvil potom Jozef bratřím svým: Já tudíž umru; Bůh pak jistotně navštíví vás, a vyvede vás z země této do země, kterouž přisáhl Abrahamovi, Izákovi a Jákobovi.
One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25 Protož přísahou zavázal Jozef syny Izraelovy, řka: Když navštíví vás Bůh, vynestež kosti mé odsud.
Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
26 I umřel Jozef, když byl ve stu a v desíti letech; a pomazán jsa vonnými věcmi, vložen jest do truhly v Egyptě.
So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
