Genesis 50
1 And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.
Jožef je padel na očetov obraz, jokal na njem in ga poljubil.
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.
Jožef je zapovedal svojim služabnikom zdravnikom, naj balzamirajo njegovega očeta in zdravniki so balzamirali 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.
Štirideset dni je bilo izpolnjeno zanj, kajti tako so izpolnjeni dnevi tistih, ki so balzamirani in Egipčani so žalovali za njim sedemdeset dni.
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:
Ko so dnevi njegovega žalovanja minili, je Jožef govoril faraonovi hiši, rekoč: »Če sem torej našel milost v vaših očeh, govorite, prosim vas, na faraonova ušesa, rekoč:
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 oče me je zaprisegel, rekoč: ›Glej, jaz umrem. V mojem grobu, ki sem si ga izkopal v kánaanski deželi, tam me boš pokopal.‹ Zato me torej pusti iti gor, prosim te in pokopljem svojega očeta in bom ponovno prišel.‹«
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.
Faraon je rekel: »Pojdi gor in pokoplji svojega očeta, kakor te je zaprisegel.«
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,
Jožef je odšel gor, da pokoplje svojega očeta in z njim so odšli gor vsi faraonovi služabniki, starešine njegove hiše, vse starešine egiptovske dežele,
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.
vsa Jožefova hiša, njegovi bratje in hiša njegovega očeta. Samo svoje malčke, svoje trope in svoje črede so pustili v gošenski deželi.
9 And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.
Z njim so odšli gor tako bojni vozovi kakor konjeniki in to je bila zelo velika skupina.
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.
Prišli so k mlatišču Atádu, ki je onstran Jordana in tam so žalovali z velikim in zelo bolečim objokovanjem in za svojega očeta je pripravil sedemdnevno žalovanje.
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.
Ko so prebivalci dežele, Kánaanci, videli žalovanje na Atádovih tleh, so rekli: »To objokovanje je Egipčanom boleče.« Torej je bilo ime le-tega imenovano Abél Micrájim, ki je onkraj Jordana.
12 So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:
Njegovi sinovi so mu storili glede na to, kakor jim je zapovedal,
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.
kajti njegovi sinovi so ga odnesli v kánaansko deželo in ga pokopali v votlini polja Mahpéle, ki ga je Abraham kupil s poljem za grobno posest od Hetejca Efróna, pred Mamrejem.
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.
Potem ko je pokopal svojega očeta, se je Jožef vrnil v Egipt, on in njegovi bratje in vsi, ki so z njim odšli gor, da pokopljejo njegovega očeta.
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.
Ko so Jožefovi bratje videli, da je bil njihov oče mrtev, so rekli: »Jožef nas bo morda sovražil in nam bo zagotovo poplačal vse zlo, ki smo mu ga storili.«
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,
K Jožefu so poslali poslanca, rekoč: »Tvoj oče je dal zapoved, preden je umrl, rekoč:
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.
›Tako boste rekli Jožefu: ›Odpusti, prosim te sedaj, prekršek svojih bratov in njihov greh, kajti storili so ti zlo in sedaj, prosimo te, odpusti prekršek služabnikom Boga svojega očeta.‹« In Jožef je jokal, ko so mu govorili.
18 Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.
Tudi njegovi bratje so padli dol pred njegovim obličjem in rekli: »Glej, mi smo tvoji služabniki.«
19 And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?
Jožef jim je rekel: »Ne bojte se, kajti ali sem jaz na mestu 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.
Toda kar se tiče vas, ste zoper mene mislili zlo, toda Bog je to preobrnil v dobro, da izvrši, kakor je to današnji dan, da veliko ljudi reši živih.
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.
Zdaj se torej ne bojte, hranil bom vas in vaše malčke.« Potolažil jih je in prijazno govoril z njimi.
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.
Jožef je prebival v Egiptu, on in hiša njegovega očeta in Jožef je živel sto deset let.
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.
Jožef je videl Efrájimove otroke tretjega rodu. Tudi otroci Mahírja, Manásejevega sina, so bili vzgojeni na Jožefovih kolenih.
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.
Jožef je rekel svojim bratom: »Jaz umiram, Gospod pa vas bo zagotovo obiskal in vas privedel ven iz te dežele, v deželo, ki jo je prisegel Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu.«
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.
Jožef je Izraelove otroke zaprisegel, rekoč: »Bog vas bo zagotovo obiskal in vi boste moje kosti odnesli od tod.«
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.
Tako je Jožef umrl, star sto deset let in balzamirali so ga in položen je bil v krsto v Egiptu.
