Genesis 50

1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.

Lalu Yusuf merebahkan dirinya mendekap muka ayahnya serta menangisi dan mencium dia.

2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.

Dan Yusuf memerintahkan kepada tabib-tabib, yaitu hamba-hambanya, untuk merempah-rempahi mayat ayahnya; maka tabib-tabib itu merempah-rempahi mayat Israel.

3 Forty days were required for it, for that is how many the days it takes for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him for seventy days.

Hal itu memerlukan empat puluh hari lamanya, sebab demikianlah lamanya waktu yang diperlukan untuk merempah-rempahi, dan orang Mesir menangisi dia tujuh puluh hari lamanya.

4 When the days for mourning for him had passed, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

Setelah lewat hari-hari penangisan itu, berkatalah Yusuf kepada seisi istana Firaun: "Jika kiranya aku mendapat kasihmu, katakanlah kepada Firaun,

5 'My father made me take an oath, saying, "Look, I am dying. Bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will return again.'"

bahwa ayahku telah menyuruh aku bersumpah, katanya: Tidak lama lagi aku akan mati; dalam kuburku yang telah kugali di tanah Kanaan, di situlah kaukuburkan aku. Oleh sebab itu, izinkanlah aku pergi ke sana, supaya aku menguburkan ayahku; kemudian aku akan kembali."

6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."

Lalu berkatalah Firaun: "Pergilah ke sana dan kuburkanlah ayahmu itu, seperti yang telah disuruhnya engkau bersumpah."

7 So Joseph went up to bury his father, and all the officials of Pharaoh went up with him, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

Lalu berjalanlah Yusuf ke sana untuk menguburkan ayahnya, dan bersama-sama dengan dia berjalanlah semua pegawai Firaun, para tua-tua dari istananya, dan semua tua-tua dari tanah Mesir,

8 all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

serta seisi rumah Yusuf juga, saudara-saudaranya dan seisi rumah ayahnya; hanya anak-anaknya serta kambing domba dan lembu sapinya ditinggalkan mereka di tanah Gosyen.

9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.

Baik kereta maupun orang-orang berkuda turut pergi ke sana bersama-sama dengan dia, sehingga iring-iringan itu sangat besar.

10 Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad which is across the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very bitter lamentation. And he observed seven days of mourning for his father.

Setelah mereka sampai ke Goren-Haatad, yang di seberang sungai Yordan, maka mereka mengadakan di situ ratapan yang sangat sedih dan riuh; dan Yusuf mengadakan perkabungan tujuh hari lamanya karena ayahnya itu.

11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is across the Jordan.

Ketika penduduk negeri itu, orang-orang Kanaan, melihat perkabungan di Goren-Haatad itu, berkatalah mereka: "Inilah perkabungan orang Mesir yang amat riuh." Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai Abel-Mizraim, yang letaknya di seberang Yordan.

12 So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,

Anak-anak Yakub melakukan kepadanya, seperti yang dipesankannya kepada mereka.

13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hethite.

Anak-anaknya mengangkut dia ke tanah Kanaan, dan mereka menguburkan dia dalam gua di ladang Makhpela yang telah dibeli Abraham dari Efron, orang Het itu, untuk menjadi kuburan milik, yaitu ladang yang di sebelah timur Mamre.

14 Then after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up with him to bury his father.

Setelah ayahnya dikuburkan, pulanglah Yusuf ke Mesir, dia dan saudara-saudaranya dan semua orang yang turut pergi ke sana bersama-sama dengan dia untuk menguburkan ayahnya itu.

15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back in full for all of the evil that we did to him."

Ketika saudara-saudara Yusuf melihat, bahwa ayah mereka telah mati, berkatalah mereka: "Boleh jadi Yusuf akan mendendam kita dan membalaskan sepenuhnya kepada kita segala kejahatan yang telah kita lakukan kepadanya."

16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,

Sebab itu mereka menyuruh menyampaikan pesan ini kepada Yusuf: "Sebelum ayahmu mati, ia telah berpesan:

17 Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

Beginilah harus kamu katakan kepada Yusuf: Ampunilah kiranya kesalahan saudara-saudaramu dan dosa mereka, sebab mereka telah berbuat jahat kepadamu. Maka sekarang, ampunilah kiranya kesalahan yang dibuat hamba-hamba Allah ayahmu." Lalu menangislah Yusuf, ketika orang berkata demikian kepadanya.

18 Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."

Juga saudara-saudaranya datang sendiri dan sujud di depannya serta berkata: "Kami datang untuk menjadi budakmu."

19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

Tetapi Yusuf berkata kepada mereka: "Janganlah takut, sebab aku inikah pengganti Allah?

20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.

Memang kamu telah mereka-rekakan yang jahat terhadap aku, tetapi Allah telah mereka-rekakannya untuk kebaikan, dengan maksud melakukan seperti yang terjadi sekarang ini, yakni memelihara hidup suatu bangsa yang besar.

21 So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.

Jadi janganlah takut, aku akan menanggung makanmu dan makan anak-anakmu juga." Demikianlah ia menghiburkan mereka dan menenangkan hati mereka dengan perkataannya.

22 So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

Adapun Yusuf, ia tetap tinggal di Mesir beserta kaum keluarganya; dan Yusuf hidup seratus sepuluh tahun.

23 Joseph saw Ephraim's descendants to the third generation. The children also of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were counted as Joseph's own.

Jadi Yusuf sempat melihat anak cucu Efraim sampai keturunan yang ketiga; juga anak-anak Makhir, anak Manasye, lahir di pangkuan Yusuf.

24 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."

Berkatalah Yusuf kepada saudara-saudaranya: "Tidak lama lagi aku akan mati; tentu Allah akan memperhatikan kamu dan membawa kamu keluar dari negeri ini, ke negeri yang telah dijanjikan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub."

25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, "God will surely take care of you. Then you must carry up my bones from here."

Lalu Yusuf menyuruh anak-anak Israel bersumpah, katanya: "Tentu Allah akan memperhatikan kamu; pada waktu itu kamu harus membawa tulang-tulangku dari sini."

26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.

Kemudian matilah Yusuf, berumur seratus sepuluh tahun. Mayatnya dirempah-rempahi, dan ditaruh dalam peti mati di Mesir.
