Genesis 50
1 And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.
Då föll Joseph in på sins faders ansigte, och gret, och kysste honom.
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.
Och Joseph befallte sina tjenare läkarena, att de skulle smörja hans fader: Och läkarena smorde Israel;
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.
Tilldess fyratio dagar voro förgångne; ty så länge varade smörjedagarna. Och de Egyptier begreto honom i sjutio dagar.
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:
Då nu sörjedagarne ute voro, talade Joseph med Pharaos gårdsfolk, och sade: Hafver jag funnit nåd för eder, så taler med Pharao, och säger:
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.
Min fader hafver tagit en ed af mig, och sagt: Si, jag dör; begraf mig i mine graf, som jag hafver grafvit mig i Canaans lande. Så vill jag nu fara upp och begrafva min fader, och komma igen.
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.
Pharao sade: Far dit upp, och begraf din fader, som du honom svorit hafver.
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,
Så for Joseph upp till att begrafva sin fader: Oh med honom foro alle Pharaos tjenare, de äldste af hans folk, och alle de äldste i Egypti lande;
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.
Dertill allt Josephs folk, och hans bröder, och hans faders folk; allena deras barn, får och fä lefde de i det landet Gosen.
9 And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.
Och foro desslikes upp med honom vagnar och resenärer, och var en ganska stor skare.
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.
Då de nu kommo in på den planen Atad, som ligger in emot Jordan, då höllo de en ganska stor och bitter dödklagan; och han sörjde öfver sin fader i sju dagar.
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.
Och då folket i landet, de Cananeer, sågo det sörjandet på den planen Atad, sade de: De Egyptier sörja der fast. Deraf kallar man det rummet de Egyptiers sorg; hvilket ligger in emot Jordan.
12 So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:
Och hans barn gjorde som han dem befallt hade.
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.
Och förde honom i Canaans land, och begrofvo honom i den dubbelkulone af åkren, som Abraham med åkrenom köpt hade till arfgrift af Ephron Hetheen, tvärt emot Mamre.
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.
Så for Joseph åter in i Egypten med sina bröder, och med allom dem, som voro farne upp med honom till att begrafva hans fader; när de hade begrafvit honom.
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.
Men Josephs bröder fruktade sig, då deras fader var död, och sade: Kanske, att Joseph är oss gramse, och måtte vedergälla oss det onda vi honom gjort hafve.
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,
Derföre läto de säga honom: Din fader gaf befallning för sin död, och sade:
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.
Så skolen I säga till Joseph: Käre, förlåt dina bröder deras missgerning och synd, att de så illa hafva gjort emot dig. Käre, förlåt oss nu, som ärom dins faders Guds tjenare, denna missgerning. Men Joseph gret, då de sådant talade med honom.
18 Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.
Och hans bröder gingo till, och föllo ned för honom, och sade: Si, vi äre dine tjenare.
19 And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?
Joseph sade till dem: Frukter eder icke, ty jag är under Gudi.
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.
I tänkten ondt öfver mig, men Gud hafver vändt det till godo, att han gjorde som för ögon är, till att frälsa mycket folk.
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.
Så frukter eder nu intet, jag vill försörja eder och edro barn. Och han stärkte dem, och talade vänliga med dem.
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.
Så bodde Joseph i Egypten med sins faders huse, och lefde hundrade och tio år.
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.
Och såg Ephraims barn till tredje led: Föddes också barn på Josephs sköte, utaf Machirs barnom, hvilken Manasse son var.
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.
Och Joseph sade till sina bröder: Jag dör, och Gud varder eder sökandes, och förandes utaf detta landet, in uti det landet, som han hafver svorit Abraham, Isaac och Jacob.
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.
Derföre tog han en ed af Israels barnom, och sade: När Gud varder eder sökandes, så förer min ben hädan.
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.
Så dödde Joseph, då han var hundrade och tio år gammal. Och de smorde honom, och lade honom uti ena kisto i Egypten.
