Genesis 50
1 And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.
Dengan sangat sedih, Yusuf memeluk ayahnya dan mencium wajahnya sambil menangis.
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.
Lalu Yusuf memberi perintah agar jenazah ayahnya diawetkan dengan wangi-wangian dari getah pohon. Perintah itu dikerjakan oleh orang-orang Mesir yang ahli dalam pengawetan jenazah.
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.
Waktu yang diperlukan untuk mengerjakannya adalah empat puluh hari. Orang-orang Mesir berkabung untuk Yakub selama tujuh puluh hari.
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:
Setelah masa berkabung selesai, Yusuf berkata kepada para pegawai istana, “Kalau kalian bersedia membantu saya, tolong sampaikan pesan ini kepada raja,
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.
‘Sebelum ayah meninggal, dia meminta saya bersumpah untuk menguburkannya di makam yang sudah dia siapkan di negeri Kanaan. Mohon izinkan saya pergi ke sana untuk menguburnya. Setelah itu saya akan kembali.’”
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.
Jawab raja, “Ya, tepatilah janjimu kepadanya. Pergilah menguburkan ayahmu.”
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,
Maka Yusuf pergi menguburkan ayahnya. Semua pejabat kerajaan, tua-tua istana, dan para pejabat senior negeri Mesir juga ikut bersama dia.
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.
Seluruh anggota keluarga Yusuf, saudara-saudaranya, dan segenap keluarga besar Yakub pergi bersamanya. Hanya anak-anak kecil dan kawanan ternak mereka yang tetap di Gosyen.
9 And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.
Selain itu, ada juga pasukan berkereta dan berkuda yang ikut, sehingga rombongan itu menjadi sangat besar.
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.
Sesudah mereka tiba di tempat pengirikan milik Atad yang terletak di seberang sungai Yordan, acara perkabungan selama tujuh hari dimulai. Acara itu diiringi dengan tangisan dan ratapan.
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.
Ketika orang-orang Kanaan melihat acara perkabungan dan penguburan itu, mereka berkata, “Betapa dalamnya dukacita orang-orang Mesir itu!” Maka sejak saat itu, tempat tersebut dinamai Tempat Orang Mesir Berkabung.
12 So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:
Anak-anak Yakub pun melaksanakan pesan terakhir ayah mereka.
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.
Jenazah Yakub dibawa dan dikuburkan di gua yang ada di Makpela, dekat Hebron di Kanaan. Gua itu berada di ladang yang sudah dibeli Abraham dari Efron, orang Het. Abraham membelinya untuk dijadikan tempat peristirahatan terakhir keluarga mereka.
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.
Sesudah menguburkan Yakub, kembalilah Yusuf beserta saudara-saudaranya dan seluruh rombongan itu ke Mesir.
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.
Kini, setelah ayah mereka tiada, kakak-kakak Yusuf merasa takut terhadapnya. Kata mereka, “Bagaimana kalau Yusuf masih menyimpan dendam atas semua perbuatan jahat yang dulu kita lakukan kepadanya?”
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,
Maka mereka sepakat untuk mengirim permohonan kepada Yusuf, yang isinya, “Sebelum ayah meninggal,
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.
dia memberi pesan untuk disampaikan kepadamu, katanya, ‘Maafkanlah semua perbuatan jahat yang pernah dilakukan saudara-saudaramu terhadapmu.’ Jadi kami, kakakmu— yang sama seperti engkau juga menyembah Allah yang disembah ayah kita— memohon agar engkau bersedia memaafkan kami.” Maka menangislah Yusuf ketika menerima pesan itu.
18 Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.
Saudara-saudaranya datang dan bersujud di hadapan Yusuf untuk memohon belas kasihan sambil berkata, “Kami ini adalah hambamu.”
19 And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?
Jawab Yusuf kepada mereka, “Jangan takut! Aku tidak berhak untuk menghakimi kalian karena aku bukan Allah.
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.
Dulu, kalian memang merencanakan hal yang jahat terhadapku. Tetapi sesungguhnya Allah memiliki rencana yang baik dalam kejadian itu, supaya banyak orang dapat diselamatkan, seperti yang sudah terjadi.
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.
Tidak ada yang perlu kalian takuti. Aku akan mencukupi kebutuhan kalian dan anak-anak kalian.” Demikianlah Yusuf menenangkan hati mereka.
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.
Yusuf dan saudara-saudaranya bersama keluarga mereka tetap tinggal di Mesir. Yusuf meninggal pada usia 110 tahun.
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.
Sebelum meninggal, Yusuf sempat melihat anak dan cucu Efraim, juga cicitnya dari Makir, anak Manasye. Mereka diangkat oleh Yusuf sebagai anak dan menerima warisan darinya.
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.
Yusuf berkata kepada saudara-saudaranya, “Kematianku sudah dekat, tetapi Allah akan menyertai kalian dan memimpin kalian keluar dari Mesir untuk kembali ke tanah yang sudah dijanjikan-Nya kepada Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub.
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.
“Jadi, aku mohon agar kalian bersumpah bahwa ketika Allah membawa kalian keluar dari Mesir untuk kembali ke Kanaan, kalian harus membawa tulang-tulangku untuk dikuburkan di sana.”
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.
Yusuf meninggal pada usia 110 tahun. Lalu jenazahnya diawetkan dan disimpan di Mesir dalam peti.
