Genesis 50
1 Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him.
Da faldt Josef over sin Faders Ansigt og græd over ham og kyssede ham.
2 And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel.
Og Josef befalede sine Tjenere, Lægerne, at balsamere hans Fader; saa balsamerede Lægerne Israel.
3 So fourtie dayes were accomplished (for so long did the dayes of them that were enbaumed last) and the Egyptians bewayled him seuentie dayes.
Og fyrretyve Dage medgik hertil; thi saa mange Dage medgaa til Balsameringen; og Ægypterne begræd ham halvfjerdsindstyve Dage.
4 And when the dayes of his mourning were past, Ioseph spake to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If I haue nowe found fauour in your eyes, speake, I pray you, in the eares of Pharaoh, and say,
Og der Grædedagene over ham vare forbi, da talede Josef til Faraos Hus og sagde: Kære, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for eders Øjne, da taler, kære, for Faraos Øren og siger:
5 My father made me sweare, saying, Loe, I die, bury me in my graue, which I haue made me in the land of Canaan: now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I wil come againe.
Min Fader tog en Ed af mig og sagde: Se, jeg dør; i min Grav, som jeg lod mig grave i Kanaans Land, der skal du begrave mig; og nu, kære, vil jeg drage op og begrave min Fader, og jeg vil komme igen.
6 Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare.
Og Farao sagde: Drag op og begrav din Fader, saaledes som han tog Ed af dig.
7 So Ioseph went vp to bury his father, and with him went all the seruants of Pharaoh, both the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
Og Josef drog op for at begrave sin Fader, og alle Faraos Tjenere fore op med ham, de ældste af hans Hus, og alle de ældste af Ægyptens Land,
8 Likewise all the house of Ioseph, and his brethren, and his fathers house: onely their children, and their sheepe, and their cattell left they in the land of Goshen.
og Josefs ganske Hus og hans Brødre og hans Faders Hus, kun deres smaa Børn og deres Faar og deres Øksne lode de blive i Gosen Land.
9 And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company.
Og baade Vogne og Ryttere droge op med ham, og det var en meget stor Hær.
10 And they came to Goren Atad, which is beyond Iorden, and there they made a great and exceeding sore lamentation: and he mourned for his father seuen dayes.
Der de kom til den Lade Atad, som ligger paa hin Side Jordan, da holdt de der en stor og saare svar Klage, og han lod holde Sorrig for sin Fader syv Dage.
11 And when the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande sawe the mourning in Goren Atad, they sayde, This is a great mourning vnto the Egyptians: wherefore the name thereof was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond Iorden.
Og Kananiten, som boede i Landet, saa den Sorrig ved den Lade Atad, og de sagde: Denne er en svar Sorrig for Ægypterne; derfor kaldte man det Steds Navn: Ægypternes Sorrig, som er paa hin Side Jordan.
12 So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them:
Og hans Sønner gjorde saaledes med ham, som han havde befalet dem.
13 For his sonnes caried him into the lande of Canaan, and buried him in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah, which caue Abraham bought with the fielde, to be a place to bury in, of Ephron the Hittite besides Mamre.
Og hans Sønner førte ham til Kanaans Land og begrove ham i Hulen paa den Ager Makpela, den Ager, som Abraham havde købt til Begravelses Ejendom af Efron den Hethiter, tvært over for Mamre.
14 Then Ioseph returned into Egypt, he and his brethren, and al that went vp with him to bury his father, after that he had buried his father.
Og Josef kom igen til Ægypten, han og hans Brødre og alle de, som vare dragne op med ham til at begrave hans Fader, efter at han havde begravet sin Fader.
15 And when Iosephs brethren saw that their father was dead, they sayde, It may be that Ioseph will hate vs, and will pay vs againe all the euill, which we did vnto him.
Der Josefs Brødre saa, at deres Fader var død, da sagde de: Maaske Josef hader os, saa han visselig vil betale os igen alt det onde, som vi have gjort imod ham.
16 Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
Og de beskikkede nogen at tale til Josef, sigende: Din Fader befalede, før han døde og sagde:
17 Thus shall ye say vnto Ioseph, Forgiue now, I pray thee, the trespasse of thy brethren, and their sinne: for they rewarded thee euil. And nowe, we pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of the seruants of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wept, when they spake vnto him.
Saa skulle I sige til Josef: Kære, forlad dog dine Brødre deres Overtrædelse og deres Synd, at de gjorde ilde imod dig; kære, saa forlad nu din Faders Guds Tjenere deres Overtrædelse; da græd Josef, der de talede til ham.
18 Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants.
Og hans Brødre gik ogsaa selv hen og faldt ned for hans Ansigt og sagde: Se, vi ere dine Tjenere!
19 To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God?
Og Josef sagde til dem: Frygter ikke; thi monne jeg være i Guds Sted?
20 When ye thought euill against mee, God disposed it to good, that he might bring to passe, as it is this day, and saue much people aliue.
Og I tænkte ondt imod mig; Gud tænkte at vende det til det gode, for at gøre, hvad der sker paa denne Dag, at holde meget Folk ved Live.
21 Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them.
Saa frygter nu ikke, jeg vil opholde eder og eders smaa Børn; saa trøstede han dem og talede kærlig med dem.
22 So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere.
Saa boede Josef i Ægypten, han og hans Faders Hus, og Josef levede hundrede og ti Aar.
23 And Ioseph saw Ephraims children, euen vnto the third generation: also the sonnes of Machir the sonne of Manasseh were brought vp on Iosephs knees.
Og Josef saa Efraims Sønner i tredje Led; desligeste Makirs, Manasse Søns, Sønner bleve fødte paa Josefs Knæ.
24 And Ioseph sayd vnto his brethren, I am ready to dye, and God will surely visite you, and bring you out of this land, vnto ye land which hee sware vnto Abraham, vnto Izhak, and vnto Iaakob.
Og Josef sagde til sine Brødre: Jeg dør, og Gud skal visselig besøge eder og føre eder op af dette Land, til det Land, som han har tilsvoret Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
25 And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence.
Og Josef tog en Ed af Israels Børn og sagde: Gud skal visselig besøge eder, og I skulle føre mine Ben op herfra.
26 So Ioseph died, when he was an hundreth and ten yere olde: and they enbaumed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.
Saa døde Josef hundrede og ti Aar gammel; og de balsamerede ham, og man lagde ham i Kiste i Ægypten.
