Genesis 50
1 And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.
Josip se baci na oca, suzama mu oblije lice, izljubi ga.
2 Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —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 And they fulfilled for him forty days, for so, are they wont to fulfil the days of the embalmed, —and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
Trebalo je četrdeset dana: toliko, naime, traje balzamiranje. Sedamdeset su ga dana Egipćani oplakivali.
4 And, when the days of weeping for him were passed, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh saying, —If I pray you, I have found favour in your eyes, speak ye I pray you in the ears of Pharaoh saying:
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 saying, —Lo! I, am about to die, —in my grave which I digged for myself in the land of Canaan, there, shalt thou bury me. Now, therefore, let me go up, I pray thee and bury my father, and 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 And Pharaoh said, —Go up., and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
Faraon odgovori: “Otiđi gore i sahrani svoga oca kako si mu se zakleo.”
7 So Joseph went up. to bury his father, —and there went up with him all the servants of Pharaoh the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land 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 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father, —only their little ones and their flocks and their herds, left they. in the land of Goshen.
sva Josipova obitelj, njegova braća i očeva porodica. Jedino su u gošenskom kraju ostala njihova djeca, njihove ovce i goveda.
9 And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,
S njim su išla i kola i konjanici: bila je to vrlo duga povorka.
10 And they came in, as far as the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, which is beyond the Jordan, then wailed they there—an exceeding great and grievous wailing, —and he made for his father a mourning, of seven days.
Stigavši u Goren Haatad, s onu stranu Jordana, održaše ondje veliko i svečano naricanje. Josip održa sedmodnevnu žalost za ocem.
11 And when the dwellers in the land—the Canaanites—saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, they said, —A grievous mourning, this! for the Egyptians. For this cause, was the name thereof called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond 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 And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;
Jakovljevi sinovi učine kako im je naredio otac:
13 so his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, —which Abraham bought—with the field—for a possession of a buryingplace from Ephron the Hittite over against Mamre.
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 Then Joseph returned to Egypt he and his brethren and all who had been up with him to bury his father, —after he had buried his father.
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 Now when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said—Oh! if Joseph should lie in wait for us, —and should return, to us, all the evil wherewith we requited 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 in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died saying:
Stoga poruče Josipu ovako: “Pred svoju smrt tvoj je otac naredio:
17 Thus, shall ye say to Joseph—Ah now! do forgive we pray thee the transgression of thy brethren and their sin in that with evil, they requited thee. Now, therefore grant forgiveness we pray thee, for the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father! And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
'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 went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.
Tada sama njegova braća dođu k njemu, bace se preda nj te mu reknu: “Evo nas k tebi da budemo tvoji robovi!”
19 And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.
Josip im odvrati: “Ne bojte se! TÓa zar sam ja namjesto Boga!
20 Ye, indeed, planned against me, evil, —God, planned it, for good, for the sake of doing, as at this day, to save alive much people.
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 Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.
Zato se ne bojte! Ja ću se brinuti za vas i za vašu djecu.” Tako ih je smirio ljubeznim riječima.
22 And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Josip ostane u Egiptu zajedno s rodom svojim i očevim. Poživje Josip stotinu i deset godina.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.
Tako je Josip gledao Efrajimovu djecu do trećeg koljena; a rađala se djeca i Makiru, Manašeovu sinu, na Josipovim koljenima.
24 Then said Joseph unto his brethren, I, am about to die, —but God will surely concern, himself for you, so will he take you up out of this land, into the land which he sware to Abraham to Isaac and to 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 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear saying, —God will, surely concern, himself for you, So shall ye carry up my bones, from hence.
Tada Josip zakune Izraelove sinove: “Bog će se vas doista sjetiti, i tada ponesite moje kosti odavde!”
26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
Josip umrije kad mu bijaše sto i deset godina; balzamiraše ga i u Egiptu položiše u lijes.
