< Genesis 50 >

1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
فَأَلْقَى يُوسُفُ بِنَفْسِهِ عَلَى جُثْمَانِ أَبِيهِ، وَبَكَى وَقَبَّلَهُ.١
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel.
ثُمَّ أَمَرَ يُوسُفُ عَبِيدَهُ الأَطِبَّاءَ أَنْ يُحَنِّطُوا أَبَاهُ.٢
3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
وَقَدِ اسْتَغْرَقَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً، وَهِيَ الأَيَّامُ الْمَطْلُوبَةُ لاسْتِكْمَالِ التَّحْنِيطِ. وَبَكَى الْمِصْرِيُّونَ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ يَوْماً.٣
4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
وَبَعْدَمَا انْقَضَتْ أَيَّامُ النُّوَاحِ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ يُوسُفُ لأَهْلِ بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكُمْ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي مَسَامِعِ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلِينَ:٤
5 My father made me swear, saying, Behold, I die; in my grave which I have dug myself in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. And now, let me go up, I pray thee, that I may bury my father; and I will come again.
لَقَدِ اسْتَحْلَفَنِي أَبِي وَقَالَ: أَنَا مُشْرِفٌ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، فَادْفِنِّي فِي الْقَبْرِ الَّذِي حَفَرْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، فَاسْمَحْ لِيَ الآنَ بِأَنْ أَمْضِيَ لأَدْفِنَ أَبِي ثُمَّ أَعُودَ».٥
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «امْضِ وَادْفِنْ أَبَاكَ كَمَا اسْتَحْلَفَكَ».٦
7 And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the bondmen of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
فَانْطَلَقَ يُوسُفُ لِيَدْفِنَ أَبَاهُ، وَرَافَقَتْهُ حَاشِيَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ مِنْ أَعْيَانِ بَيْتِهِ وَوُجَهَاءِ مِصْرَ،٧
8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house; only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
وَكَذَلِكَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ وَإخْوَتُهُ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. وَلَمْ يُخَلِّفُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ سِوَى صِغَارِهِمْ وَغَنَمِهِمْ وَقُطْعَانِهِمْ.٨
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and the camp was very great.
وَصَاحَبَتْهُ أَيْضاً مَرْكَبَاتٌ وَفُرْسَانٌ، فَكَانُوا مَوْكِباً عَظِيماً.٩
10 And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan; and there they lamented with a great and very grievous lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father of seven days.
وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ أَقَامَ يُوسُفُ لأَبِيهِ مَنَاحَةً عَظِيمَةً مَرِيرَةً نَاحُوا فِيهَا عَلَيْهِ طَوَالَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ١٠
11 And the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing-floor of Atad, and they said, This is a grievous mourning of the Egyptians. Therefore the name of it was called Abel-Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ السَّاكِنُونَ هُنَاكَ الْمَنَاحَةَ فِي بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ قَالُوا: «هَذِهِ مَنَاحَةٌ هَائِلَةٌ لِلْمَصْرِيِّينَ». وَسَمُّوا الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ «آبِلَ مِصْرَايِمَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: مَنَاحَةُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ).١١
12 And his sons did to him according as he had commanded them;
وَنَفَّذَ أَبْنَاءُ يَعْقُوبَ وَصِيَّةَ أَبِيهِمْ،١٢
13 and his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah which Abraham had bought along with the field, for a possession of a sepulchre, of Ephron the Hittite, opposite to Mamre.
فَنَقَلُوهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ حَقْلِ الْمَكْفِيلَةِ مُقَابِلَ مَمْرَا الَّتِي اشْتَرَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَعَ الْحَقْلِ مِنْ عِفْرُونَ الْحِثِّيِّ لِتَكُونَ مَدْفَناً خَاصّاً.١٣
14 And, after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all that had gone up with him to bury his father.
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ دَفَنَ يُوسُفُ أَبَاهُ، رَجَعَ هُوَ وَإخْوَتُهُ وَسَائِرُ الَّذِينَ رَافَقُوهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ.١٤
15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, If now Joseph should be hostile to us, and should indeed requite us all the evil that we did to him!
وَلَمَا رَأى إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالُوا: «لَعَلَّ يُوسُفَ الآنَ يَشْرَعُ فِي اضْطِهَادِنَا وَيَنْتَقِمُ مِنَّا لإِسَاءَتِنَا إِلَيْهِ؟»١٥
16 And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,
فَبَعَثُوا إِلَيْهِ رَسُولاً قَائِلِينَ: «لَقَدْ أَوْصَى أَبُوكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَقَالَ:١٦
17 Thus shall ye speak to Joseph: Oh forgive, I pray thee, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin! for they did evil to thee. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِيُوسُفَ: اغْفِرْ لإِخْوَتِكَ ذَنْبَهُمْ وَخَطِيئَتَهُمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَسَاءُوا إِلَيْكَ. فَالآنَ اصْفَحْ عَنْ إِثْمِ عَبِيدِ إِلَهِ أَبِيكَ». فَلَمَّا بَلَغَتْهُ رِسَالَتُهُمْ بَكَى يُوسُفُ.١٧
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face, and said, Behold, we are thy bondmen.
وَجَاءَ إِخْوَتُهُ أَيْضاً وَانْطَرَحُوا أَمَامَهُ وَقَالُوا: «هَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدُكَ».١٨
19 And Joseph said to them, Fear not: am I then in the place of God?
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا تَخَافُوا: هَلْ أَنَا أَقُومُ مَقَامَ اللهِ؟١٩
20 Ye indeed meant evil against me: God meant it for good, in order that he might do as [it is] this day, to save a great people alive.
أَنْتُمْ نَوَيْتُمْ لِي شَرّاً، وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ قَصَدَ بِالشَّرِّ خَيْراً، لِيُنْجِزَ مَا تَمَّ الْيَوْمَ، لإِحْيَاءِ شَعْبٍ كَثِيرٍ.٢٠
21 And now, fear not: I will maintain you and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke consolingly to them.
لِذَلِكَ لَا تَخَافُوا، فَأَنَا أَعُولُكُمْ أَنْتُمْ وَأَوْلادَكُمْ». فَطَمْأَنَهُمْ وَهَدَّأَ رَوْعَهُمْ.٢١
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
وَأَقَامَ يُوسُفُ فِي مِصْرَ هُوَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. وَعَاشَ يُوسُفُ مِئَةً وَعَشْرَ سِنِينَ،٢٢
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third [generation]; the sons also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born on Joseph's knees.
حَتَّى شَهِدَ الجِيلَ الثَّالِثَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْلادَ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى الَّذِينَ احْتَضَنَهُمْ عِنْدَ وِلادَتِهِمْ.٢٣
24 And Joseph said to his brethren, I die; and God will certainly visit you, and bring you up out of this land, into the land that he swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لإِخْوَتِهِ: «أَنَا مُوْشِكٌ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَيَرُدُّكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدَ بِها بِقَسَمٍ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ».٢٤
25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will certainly visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones hence.
وَاسْتَحْلَفَ يُوسُفُ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّ اللهَ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ فَانْقُلُوا عِظَامِي مِنْ هُنَا».٢٥
26 And Joseph died, a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him; and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ يُوسُفُ وَقَدْ بَلَغَ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَةً وَعَشْرَ سِنِينَ. فَحَنَّطُوهُ وَوَضَعُوهُ فِي تَابُوتٍ فِي مِصْرَ.٢٦
