Genesis 50
1 And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.
Josip se baci na oca, suzama mu oblije lice, izljubi ga.
2 And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.
Poslije toga Josip naredi liječnicima koji su se nalazili u njegovoj službi da mu oca balzamiraju, i oni balzamiraše Izraela.
3 And the forty days needed for making the body ready went by: and there was weeping for him among the Egyptians for seventy days.
Trebalo je četrdeset dana: toliko, naime, traje balzamiranje. Sedamdeset su ga dana Egipćani oplakivali.
4 And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:
A kad je prošlo vrijeme oplakivanja, Josip reče onima u dvoru faraonovu: “Učinite mi milost i prenesite faraonu ovo:
5 My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.
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.”
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.
Faraon odgovori: “Otiđi gore i sahrani svoga oca kako si mu se zakleo.”
7 So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,
Tako Josip ode da sahrani oca. S njim su pošli i svi faraonovi službenici - odličnici njegova dvora i svi dostojanstvenici egipatske zemlje;
8 And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.
sva Josipova obitelj, njegova braća i očeva porodica. Jedino su u gošenskom kraju ostala njihova djeca, njihove ovce i goveda.
9 And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.
S njim su išla i kola i konjanici: bila je to vrlo duga povorka.
10 And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.
Stigavši u Goren Haatad, s onu stranu Jordana, održaše ondje veliko i svečano naricanje. Josip održa sedmodnevnu žalost za ocem.
11 And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.
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.
12 So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:
Jakovljevi sinovi učine kako im je naredio otac:
13 For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre.
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.
14 And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.
Pošto je sahranio svoga oca, Josip se vrati u Egipat - on, njegova braća i svi koji su s njim išli da mu oca pokopaju.
15 Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.
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?”
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,
Stoga poruče Josipu ovako: “Pred svoju smrt tvoj je otac naredio:
17 You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.
'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.
18 Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.
Tada sama njegova braća dođu k njemu, bace se preda nj te mu reknu: “Evo nas k tebi da budemo tvoji robovi!”
19 And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?
Josip im odvrati: “Ne bojte se! TÓa zar sam ja namjesto Boga!
20 As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.
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.
21 So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.
Zato se ne bojte! Ja ću se brinuti za vas i za vašu djecu.” Tako ih je smirio ljubeznim riječima.
22 Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten.
Josip ostane u Egiptu zajedno s rodom svojim i očevim. Poživje Josip stotinu i deset godina.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.
Tako je Josip gledao Efrajimovu djecu do trećeg koljena; a rađala se djeca i Makiru, Manašeovu sinu, na Josipovim koljenima.
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.
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.”
25 Then Joseph made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly give effect to his word, and you are to take my bones away from here.
Tada Josip zakune Izraelove sinove: “Bog će se vas doista sjetiti, i tada ponesite moje kosti odavde!”
26 So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.
Josip umrije kad mu bijaše sto i deset godina; balzamiraše ga i u Egiptu položiše u lijes.
