Genesis 50
1 Then Joseph was so distressed that he collapsed on the face of his father, and he wept over him, and he 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 They took forty days, for that was the full time for embalming. The Egyptians wept for him 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 of weeping were over, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak to 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 swear, saying, “See, I am about to die. Bury me in my tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. There you will bury me.” Now let me go up and bury my father, and then I will return.'”
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 Pharaoh answered, “Go and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
Lalu berkatalah Firaun: "Pergilah ke sana dan kuburkanlah ayahmu itu, seperti yang telah disuruhnya engkau bersumpah."
7 Joseph went up to bury his father. All the officials of Pharaoh went with him—the elders of his household, all the senior officials 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 with all Joseph's household and his brothers, and his father's household. But their children, their flocks, and their herds were 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 Chariots and horsemen also went with him. It was a very large group of people.
Baik kereta maupun orang-orang berkuda turut pergi ke sana bersama-sama dengan dia, sehingga iring-iringan itu sangat besar.
10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned with very great and grievous sorrow. There Joseph made a seven-day 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 in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a very sad occasion for the Egyptians.” That is why the place was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond 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 for Jacob just as he had instructed them.
Anak-anak Yakub melakukan kepadanya, seperti yang dipesankannya kepada mereka.
13 His sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. Abraham had bought the cave with the field for a burial place. He had bought it from Ephron the Hittite.
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 After he had buried his father, Joseph returned into Egypt, he, along with his brothers, and all who had accompanied 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, “What if Joseph holds on to anger against us and wants to repay us in full for all the evil 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 commanded the presence of Joseph, saying, “Your father gave instructions before he died, saying,
Sebab itu mereka menyuruh menyampaikan pesan ini kepada Yusuf: "Sebelum ayahmu mati, ia telah berpesan:
17 'Tell Joseph this, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin when they did evil to you.”' Now please forgive the servants of the God of your father.” 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 His brothers also went and lay facedown before him. They said, “See, we are your servants.”
Juga saudara-saudaranya datang sendiri dan sujud di depannya serta berkata: "Kami datang untuk menjadi budakmu."
19 But Joseph answered them, “Do not be afraid. 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 to harm me, but God meant it for good, to preserve the lives of many people, as you see today.
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 now do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.” He comforted them in this way and spoke kindly to their hearts.
Jadi janganlah takut, aku akan menanggung makanmu dan makan anak-anakmu juga." Demikianlah ia menghiburkan mereka dan menenangkan hati mereka dengan perkataannya.
22 Joseph lived in Egypt, together with his father's family. He 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 children to the third generation. He also saw the children of Machir son of Manasseh, who were placed on the knees of Joseph.
Jadi Yusuf sempat melihat anak cucu Efraim sampai keturunan yang ketiga; juga anak-anak Makhir, anak Manasye, lahir di pangkuan Yusuf.
24 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die; but God will surely come to you and lead you up out of this land to the land which he swore to give 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 people of Israel swear an oath. He said, “God will surely come to you. At that time 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, 110 years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
Kemudian matilah Yusuf, berumur seratus sepuluh tahun. Mayatnya dirempah-rempahi, dan ditaruh dalam peti mati di Mesir.
