Genesis 50
1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him.
Quod cernens Ioseph, ruit super faciem patris flens et deosculans eum.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the embalmers to embalm his father; and the embalmers embalmed Israel.
Praecepitque servis suis medicis ut aromatibus condirent patrem.
3 And they fulfilled forty days for him, for so are the days of embalming numbered; and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
Quibus iussa explentibus, transierunt quadraginta dies: iste quippe mos erat cadaverum conditorum. flevitque eum Aegyptus septuaginta diebus.
4 And when the days of mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the princes of Pharao, saying, If I have found favour in your sight, speak concerning me in the ears of Pharao, saying,
Et expleto planctus tempore, locutus est Ioseph ad familiam Pharaonis: Si inveni gratiam in conspectu vestro, loquimini in auribus Pharaonis:
5 My father adjured me, saying, In the sepulchre which I dug for myself in the land of Chanaan, there you shall bury me; now then I will go up and bury my father, and return again.
eo quod pater meus adiuraverit me, dicens: En morior, in sepulchro meo quod fodi mihi in terra Chanaan, sepelies me. Ascendam igitur, et sepeliam patrem meum, ac revertar.
6 And Pharao said to Joseph, Go up, bury your father, as he constrained you to swear.
Dixitque ei Pharao: Ascende et sepeli patrem tuum sicut adiuratus es.
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father; and all the servants of Pharao went up with him, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
Quo ascendente, ierunt cum eo omnes senes domus Pharaonis, cunctique maiores natu Terrae Aegypti:
8 And all the household of Joseph, and his brethren, and all the house of his father, and his kindred; and they left behind the sheep and the oxen in the land of Gesem.
domus Ioseph cum fratribus suis, absque parvulis et gregibus, atque armentis quae dereliquerunt in Terra Gessen.
9 And there went up with him also chariots and horsemen; and there was a very great company.
Habuit quoque in comitatu currus et equites: et facta est turba non modica.
10 And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan; and they bewailed him with a great and very sore lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
Veneruntque ad Aream Arad, quae sita est trans Iordanem: ubi celebrantes exequias planctu magno atque vehementi, impleverunt septem dies.
11 And the inhabitants of the land of Chanaan saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, and said, This is a great mourning to the Egyptians; therefore he called its name, The mourning of Egypt, which is beyond Jordan.
Quod cum vidissent habitatores Terrae Chanaan, dixerunt: Planctus magnus est iste Aegyptiis. Et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius, Planctus Aegypti.
12 And thus his sons did to him.
Fecerunt ergo filii Iacob sicut praeceperat eis:
13 So his sons carried him up into the land of Chanaan, and buried him in the double cave, which cave Abraam bought for possession of a burying place, of Ephrom the Chettite, before Mambre.
Et portantes eum in Terram Chanaan, sepelierunt eum in spelunca duplici, quam emerat Abraham cum agro in possessionem sepulchri ab Ephron Hethaeo contra faciem Mambre.
14 And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and those that had gone up with him to bury his father.
Reversusque est Ioseph in Aegyptum cum fratribus suis, et omni comitatu, sepulto patre.
15 And when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, [Let us take heed], lest at any time Joseph remember evil against us, and recompense to us all the evils which we have done against him.
Quo mortuo, timentes fratres eius, et mutuo colloquentes: Ne forte memor sit iniuriae quam passus est, et reddat nobis omne malum quod fecimus,
16 And they came to Joseph, and said, Your father adjured [us] before his death, saying,
mandaverunt ei dicentes: Pater tuus praecepit nobis antequam moreretur,
17 Thus say you to Joseph, Forgive them their injustice and their sin, forasmuch as they have done you evil; and now pardon the injustice of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept while they spoke to him.
ut haec tibi verbis illius diceremus: Obsecro ut obliviscaris sceleris fratrum tuorum, et peccati atque malitiae quam exercuerunt in te: nos quoque oramus ut servo Dei patri tuo dimittas iniquitatem hanc. Quibus auditis flevit Ioseph.
18 And they came to him and said, We, these [persons], are your servants.
Veneruntque ad eum fratres sui: et proni adorantes in terram dixerunt: Servi tui sumus.
19 And Joseph said to them, Fear not, for I am God's.
Quibus ille respondit: Nolite timere: num Dei possumus resistere voluntati?
20 You took counsel against me for evil, but God took counsel for me for good, that [the matter] might be as [it is] today, and much people might be fed.
Vos cogitastis de me malum: sed Deus vertit illud in bonum, ut exaltaret me, sicut in praesentiarum cernitis, et salvos faceret multos populos.
21 And he said to them, Fear not, I will maintain you, and your families: and he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
Nolite timere: ego pascam vos et parvulos vestros. consolatusque est eos, et blande ac leniter est locutus.
22 And Joseph lived in Egypt, he and his brethren, and all the family of his father; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Et habitavit in Aegypto cum omni domo patris sui: vixitque centum decem annis.
23 And Joseph saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation; and the sons of Machir the son of Manasse were borne on the sides of Joseph.
Et vidit Ephraim filios usque ad tertiam generationem. Filii quoque Machir filii Manasse nati sunt in genibus Ioseph.
24 And Joseph spoke to his brethren, saying, I die, and God will surely visit you, and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers, Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob.
Quibus transactis, locutus est fratribus suis: Post mortem meam Deus visitabit vos, et ascendere vos faciet de terra ista ad terram quam iuravit Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.
25 And Joseph adjured the sons of Israel, saying, At the visitation with which God shall visit you, then you shall carry up my bones hence with you.
Cumque adiurasset eos atque dixisset: Deus visitabit vos: asportate ossa mea vobiscum de loco isto:
26 And Joseph died, aged an hundred and ten years; and they prepared his corpse, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
mortuus est, expletis centum decem vitae suae annis. Et conditus aromatibus, repositus est in loculo in Aegypto.
