1 Mosebog 50
1 Da faldt Josef over sin Faders Ansigt og græd over ham og kyssede ham.
And Joseph falls on his father’s face, and weeps over him, and kisses him;
2 Og Josef befalede sine Tjenere, Lægerne, at balsamere hans Fader; saa balsamerede Lægerne Israel.
and Joseph commands his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm Israel;
3 Og fyrretyve Dage medgik hertil; thi saa mange Dage medgaa til Balsameringen; og Ægypterne begræd ham halvfjerdsindstyve Dage.
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 Og der Grædedagene over ham vare forbi, da talede Josef til Faraos Hus og sagde: Kære, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for eders Øjne, da taler, kære, for Faraos Øren og siger:
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 Min Fader tog en Ed af mig og sagde: Se, jeg dør; i min Grav, som jeg lod mig grave i Kanaans Land, der skal du begrave mig; og nu, kære, vil jeg drage op og begrave min Fader, og jeg vil komme igen.
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 Og Farao sagde: Drag op og begrav din Fader, saaledes som han tog Ed af dig.
and Pharaoh says, “Go up and bury your father, as he caused you to swear.”
7 Og Josef drog op for at begrave sin Fader, og alle Faraos Tjenere fore op med ham, de ældste af hans Hus, og alle de ældste af Ægyptens Land,
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 og Josefs ganske Hus og hans Brødre og hans Faders Hus, kun deres smaa Børn og deres Faar og deres Øksne lode de blive i Gosen Land.
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 Og baade Vogne og Ryttere droge op med ham, og det var en meget stor Hær.
and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.
10 Der de kom til den Lade Atad, som ligger paa hin Side Jordan, da holdt de der en stor og saare svar Klage, og han lod holde Sorrig for sin Fader syv Dage.
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 Og Kananiten, som boede i Landet, saa den Sorrig ved den Lade Atad, og de sagde: Denne er en svar Sorrig for Ægypterne; derfor kaldte man det Steds Navn: Ægypternes Sorrig, som er paa hin Side Jordan.
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 Og hans Sønner gjorde saaledes med ham, som han havde befalet dem.
And his sons do to him so as he commanded them,
13 Og hans Sønner førte ham til Kanaans Land og begrove ham i Hulen paa den Ager Makpela, den Ager, som Abraham havde købt til Begravelses Ejendom af Efron den Hethiter, tvært over for Mamre.
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 Og Josef kom igen til Ægypten, han og hans Brødre og alle de, som vare dragne op med ham til at begrave hans Fader, efter at han havde begravet sin Fader.
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 Der Josefs Brødre saa, at deres Fader var død, da sagde de: Maaske Josef hader os, saa han visselig vil betale os igen alt det onde, som vi have gjort imod ham.
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 Og de beskikkede nogen at tale til Josef, sigende: Din Fader befalede, før han døde og sagde:
And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, saying,
17 Saa skulle I sige til Josef: Kære, forlad dog dine Brødre deres Overtrædelse og deres Synd, at de gjorde ilde imod dig; kære, saa forlad nu din Faders Guds Tjenere deres Overtrædelse; da græd Josef, der de talede til ham.
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 Og hans Brødre gik ogsaa selv hen og faldt ned for hans Ansigt og sagde: Se, vi ere dine Tjenere!
And his brothers also go and fall before him, and say, “Behold, we [are] to you for servants.”
19 Og Josef sagde til dem: Frygter ikke; thi monne jeg være i Guds Sted?
And Joseph says to them, “Do not fear, for [am] I in the place of God?
20 Og I tænkte ondt imod mig; Gud tænkte at vende det til det gode, for at gøre, hvad der sker paa denne Dag, at holde meget Folk ved Live.
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 Saa frygter nu ikke, jeg vil opholde eder og eders smaa Børn; saa trøstede han dem og talede kærlig med dem.
and now, do not fear: I nourish you and your infants”; and he comforts them, and speaks to their heart.
22 Saa boede Josef i Ægypten, han og hans Faders Hus, og Josef levede hundrede og ti Aar.
And Joseph dwells in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph lives one hundred and ten years,
23 Og Josef saa Efraims Sønner i tredje Led; desligeste Makirs, Manasse Søns, Sønner bleve fødte paa Josefs Knæ.
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 Og Josef sagde til sine Brødre: Jeg dør, og Gud skal visselig besøge eder og føre eder op af dette Land, til det Land, som han har tilsvoret Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
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 Og Josef tog en Ed af Israels Børn og sagde: Gud skal visselig besøge eder, og I skulle føre mine Ben op herfra.
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 Saa døde Josef hundrede og ti Aar gammel; og de balsamerede ham, og man lagde ham i Kiste i Ægypten.
And Joseph dies, a son of one hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.
