Genesis 50
1 Joseph went and hugged his father, weeping over him and kissing him.
Josip se baci na oca, suzama mu oblije lice, izljubi ga.
2 Then Joseph instructed the physicians who worked for him to embalm his father's body. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
Poslije toga Josip naredi liječnicima koji su se nalazili u njegovoj službi da mu oca balzamiraju, i oni balzamiraše Izraela.
3 This took a full 40 days, the normal time for the process, and the Egyptians mourned for him for 70 days.
Trebalo je četrdeset dana: toliko, naime, traje balzamiranje. Sedamdeset su ga dana Egipćani oplakivali.
4 Once the time of mourning was over, Joseph said to Pharaoh's officials, “If you'd be so kind, please speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and explain to him that
A kad je prošlo vrijeme oplakivanja, Josip reče onima u dvoru faraonovu: “Učinite mi milost i prenesite faraonu ovo:
5 my father made me swear an oath, telling me, ‘You must bury me in the tomb I've prepared for myself in Canaan. Please allow me to go and bury my father and then I'll return.’”
Moj me otac zakleo govoreći: 'Kad umrem, sahrani me u grob koji sam sebi pripravio u zemlji kanaanskoj!' Dopusti mi da odem gore i sahranim oca, a onda ću se vratiti.”
6 Pharaoh replied, “Go and bury your father as he made you swear to do.”
Faraon odgovori: “Otiđi gore i sahrani svoga oca kako si mu se zakleo.”
7 Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh's officials went with him—all Pharaoh's senior advisors and all the leaders of Egypt—
Tako Josip ode da sahrani oca. S njim su pošli i svi faraonovi službenici - odličnici njegova dvora i svi dostojanstvenici egipatske zemlje;
8 as well as Joseph's family, his brothers, and his father's family. They only left the small children and their flocks and herds back in Goshen.
sva Josipova obitelj, njegova braća i očeva porodica. Jedino su u gošenskom kraju ostala njihova djeca, njihove ovce i goveda.
9 They were accompanied by chariots and horsemen—a really large procession.
S njim su išla i kola i konjanici: bila je to vrlo duga povorka.
10 When they got to the threshing floor of Atad, on the other side of the Jordan, they wept loudly in sorrow. Joseph held a seven-day ceremony of mourning for his father there.
Stigavši u Goren Haatad, s onu stranu Jordana, održaše ondje veliko i svečano naricanje. Josip održa sedmodnevnu žalost za ocem.
11 The Canaanites who lived there watched the ceremony of mourning at the threshing floor of Atad. They said, “This is a very sad time of mourning for the Egyptians,” so they renamed the place Abel-mizraim, which is on the other side of the Jordan.
Kad su stanovnici te zemlje, Kanaanci, vidjeli tugovanje u Goren Haatadu, rekoše: “To ti je svečano naricanje Egipćana!” Zato nazovu to mjesto Abel-Misrajim. Nalazi se s onu stranu Jordana.
12 Jacob's sons did what he had instructed them to do.
Jakovljevi sinovi učine kako im je naredio otac:
13 They carried his body to Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
odnesu ga u zemlju kanaansku te ga sahrane u spilji na polju Makpeli kod Mamre, polju što ga je Abraham kupio od Hetita Efrona za sahranjivanje.
14 After they had buried their father, Joseph and his brothers returned to Egypt along with all those who had gone with them.
Pošto je sahranio svoga oca, Josip se vrati u Egipat - on, njegova braća i svi koji su s njim išli da mu oca pokopaju.
15 However, now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became worried, saying, “Maybe Joseph is holding a grudge against us, and he'll pay us back for all the bad things we did to him.”
Kad su Josipova braća vidjela da im je otac umro, rekoše: “Što ako je Josip na nas ljut i pokuša uzvratiti nam za sve zlo koje smo mi njemu nanijeli?”
16 So they sent a message to Joseph to tell him, “Before your father died, he gave this order,
Stoga poruče Josipu ovako: “Pred svoju smrt tvoj je otac naredio:
17 ‘This is what you are to tell Joseph: Forgive your brothers their sins, the bad things they did to you, treating you in such a nasty way.’ Now please forgive us our sins, we who are servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received their message, he cried.
'Ovako recite Josipu: Oprosti braći svojoj zlo i grijeh što su onako okrutno prema tebi postupili.' Oprosti, dakle, uvredu slugama Boga svoga oca!” Na te riječi Josip brizne u plač.
18 Then his brothers themselves came and fell down before Joseph and said, “We are your slaves!”
Tada sama njegova braća dođu k njemu, bace se preda nj te mu reknu: “Evo nas k tebi da budemo tvoji robovi!”
19 “You don't need to be afraid!” he told them. “I don't stand in the place of God, do I?
Josip im odvrati: “Ne bojte se! TÓa zar sam ja namjesto Boga!
20 While you planned bad things for me, God planned it for good so that in the end many lives could be saved.
Osim toga, iako ste vi namjeravali da meni naudite, Bog je bio ono okrenuo na dobro: da učini što se danas zbiva - da spasi život velikom narodu.
21 So don't worry. I'll go on taking care of you and your children.” Speaking kindly like this he calmed them down.
Zato se ne bojte! Ja ću se brinuti za vas i za vašu djecu.” Tako ih je smirio ljubeznim riječima.
22 Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's whole family. He lived to be 110,
Josip ostane u Egiptu zajedno s rodom svojim i očevim. Poživje Josip stotinu i deset godina.
23 and saw three generations of his son Ephraim, and the sons of Makir, Manasseh's son, were placed in his lap when they were born.
Tako je Josip gledao Efrajimovu djecu do trećeg koljena; a rađala se djeca i Makiru, Manašeovu sinu, na Josipovim koljenima.
24 “I'm going to die soon,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will be with you, and he will lead you out of this country to the land that he swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Napokon reče Josip svojoj braći: “Ja ću, evo, naskoro umrijeti. Ali će se Bog, zacijelo, sjetiti vas i odvesti vas iz ove zemlje u zemlju što ju je pod zakletvom obećao Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu.”
25 Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “When God comes to be with you, you must take my bones with you when you leave.”
Tada Josip zakune Izraelove sinove: “Bog će se vas doista sjetiti, i tada ponesite moje kosti odavde!”
26 Joseph died when he was 110. After his body was embalmed, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
Josip umrije kad mu bijaše sto i deset godina; balzamiraše ga i u Egiptu položiše u lijes.
