Genesis 50
1 Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
Wtedy Józef przypadł do twarzy swego ojca i płakał nad nim, i całował go.
2 Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
Potem Józef rozkazał swoim sługom, lekarzom, aby zabalsamowali jego ojca. I lekarze zabalsamowali Izraela.
3 So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
I minęło czterdzieści dni, bo tyle trwa balsamowanie. Egipcjanie opłakiwali go przez siedemdziesiąt dni.
4 When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
Po upływie dni żałoby Józef powiedział do domowników faraona: Jeśli znalazłem teraz łaskę w waszych oczach, powiedzcie, proszę, do uszu faraona:
5 ‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
Mój ojciec zobowiązał mnie przysięgą i powiedział: Oto ja umieram. Pogrzebiesz mnie w moim grobie, który sobie wykopałem w ziemi Kanaan. Teraz, proszę, pozwól mi pojechać i pogrzebać mego ojca, a potem wrócę.
6 After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
Faraon powiedział: Jedź i pogrzeb twego ojca, jak cię zobowiązał przysięgą.
7 So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
Józef pojechał więc, aby pogrzebać swego ojca. Jechali też z nim wszyscy słudzy faraona, także starsi jego domu i wszyscy starsi ziemi Egiptu;
8 His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
I cały dom Józefa, jego bracia i dom jego ojca. Tylko swoje dzieci, swoje owce i swoje woły zostawili w ziemi Goszen.
9 Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
Wyruszyły też z nimi wozy i wyruszyli jeźdźcy. A orszak był bardzo wielki.
10 They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
I przyjechali aż do klepiska Atad, które jest za Jordanem, i tam opłakiwali go wielkim i bardzo głębokim lamentem. Józef przez siedem dni obchodził żałobę po swym ojcu.
11 When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
A gdy obywatele ziemi Kanaan zobaczyli tę żałobę na klepisku Atad, mówili: To ciężka żałoba Egipcjan. Dlatego nazwano to miejsce Ebel-Misraim; leży ono za Jordanem.
12 Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
Jego synowie uczynili więc z nim tak, jak im rozkazał.
13 They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
Jego synowie zawieźli go do ziemi Kanaan i pogrzebali go w jaskini na polu Makpela naprzeciwko Mamre, którą kupił Abraham wraz z polem od Efrona Chetyty jako grób na własność.
14 After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
Po pogrzebie swego ojca Józef wrócił do Egiptu wraz ze swymi braćmi i ze wszystkimi, którzy pojechali z nim na pogrzeb jego ojca.
15 After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
A bracia Józefa, widząc, że ich ojciec umarł, mówili: Może Józef będzie nas nienawidził i odpłaci nam sowicie za to wszystko zło, które mu uczyniliśmy.
16 So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
Kazali więc powiedzieć do Józefa: Twój ojciec, zanim umarł, nakazał:
17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
Tak powiedzcie Józefowi: Proszę, wybacz teraz przestępstwo twoich braci i ich grzech, że wyrządzili ci zło. Proszę, wybacz teraz występek sługom Boga twego ojca. I Józef płakał, gdy to mówili do niego.
18 Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
I jego bracia podeszli, i upadli przed nim, mówiąc: Oto jesteśmy twoimi sługami.
19 But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
Józef powiedział do nich: Nie bójcie się. Czyż ja jestem na miejscu Boga?
20 As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
Obmyśliliście zło przeciwko mnie, ale Bóg obrócił to w dobro, żeby sprawić to, co się dziś dzieje, aby zachować tak wielki lud.
21 So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
Teraz więc nie bójcie się. Ja będę żywić was i wasze dzieci. I tak ich pocieszał, i serdecznie z nimi rozmawiał.
22 Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
I Józef mieszkał w Egipcie, on sam i dom jego ojca. A Józef żył sto dziesięć lat.
23 He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
Józef oglądał synów Efraima aż do trzeciego pokolenia. Także synowie Makira, syna Manassesa, wychowali się na kolanach Józefa.
24 One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Potem Józef powiedział do swoich braci: Ja umrę, ale Bóg na pewno was nawiedzi i wyprowadzi z tej ziemi do ziemi, którą przysiągł Abrahamowi, Izaakowi i Jakubowi.
25 Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
Józef zobowiązał więc przysięgą synów Izraela i powiedział: Bóg na pewno was nawiedzi, a wtedy zabierzcie stąd moje kości.
26 So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
I Józef umarł, mając sto dziesięć lat. Zabalsamowano go i złożono do trumny w Egipcie.
