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.
quod cernens Ioseph ruit super faciem patris flens et deosculans eum
2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
praecepitque servis suis medicis ut aromatibus condirent patrem
3 They took forty days, for that was the full time for embalming. The Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
quibus iussa explentibus transierunt quadraginta dies iste quippe mos erat cadaverum conditorum flevitque eum Aegyptus septuaginta diebus
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,
et expleto planctus tempore locutus est Ioseph ad familiam Pharaonis si inveni gratiam in conspectu vestro loquimini in auribus Pharaonis
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.'”
eo quod pater meus adiuraverit me dicens en morior in sepulchro meo quod fodi mihi in terra Chanaan sepelies me ascendam igitur et sepeliam patrem meum ac revertar
6 Pharaoh answered, “Go and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
dixitque ei Pharao ascende et sepeli patrem tuum sicut adiuratus es
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,
quo ascendente ierunt cum eo omnes senes domus Pharaonis cunctique maiores natu terrae Aegypti
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.
domus Ioseph cum fratribus suis absque parvulis et gregibus atque armentis quae dereliquerant in terra Gessen
9 Chariots and horsemen also went with him. It was a very large group of people.
habuit quoque in comitatu currus et equites et facta est turba non modica
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.
veneruntque ad aream Atad quae sita est trans Iordanem ubi celebrantes exequias planctu magno atque vehementi impleverunt septem dies
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.
quod cum vidissent habitatores terrae Chanaan dixerunt planctus magnus est iste Aegyptiis et idcirco appellaverunt nomen loci illius Planctus Aegypti
12 So his sons did for Jacob just as he had instructed them.
fecerunt ergo filii Iacob sicut praeceperat eis
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.
et portantes eum in terram Chanaan sepelierunt in spelunca duplici quam emerat Abraham cum agro in possessionem sepulchri ab Ephron Hettheo contra faciem Mambre
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.
reversusque est Ioseph in Aegyptum cum fratribus suis et omni comitatu sepulto patre
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?”
quo mortuo timentes fratres eius et mutuo conloquentes ne forte memor sit iniuriae quam passus est et reddat nobis malum omne quod fecimus
16 So they commanded the presence of Joseph, saying, “Your father gave instructions before he died, saying,
mandaverunt ei pater tuus praecepit nobis antequam moreretur
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.
ut haec tibi verbis illius diceremus obsecro ut obliviscaris sceleris fratrum tuorum et peccati atque malitiae quam exercuerunt in te nos quoque oramus ut servis Dei patris tui dimittas iniquitatem hanc quibus auditis flevit Ioseph
18 His brothers also went and lay facedown before him. They said, “See, we are your servants.”
veneruntque ad eum fratres sui et proni in terram dixerunt servi tui sumus
19 But Joseph answered them, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
quibus ille respondit nolite timere num Dei possumus rennuere voluntatem
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.
vos cogitastis de me malum et Deus vertit illud in bonum ut exaltaret me sicut inpraesentiarum cernitis et salvos faceret multos populos
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.
nolite metuere ego pascam vos et parvulos vestros consolatusque est eos et blande ac leniter est locutus
22 Joseph lived in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived one hundred ten years.
et habitavit in Aegypto cum omni domo patris sui vixitque centum decem annis
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.
et vidit Ephraim filios usque ad tertiam generationem filii quoque Machir filii Manasse nati sunt in genibus Ioseph
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.”
quibus transactis locutus est fratribus suis post mortem meam Deus visitabit vos et ascendere faciet de terra ista ad terram quam iuravit Abraham Isaac et Iacob
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.”
cumque adiurasset eos atque dixisset Deus visitabit vos asportate vobiscum ossa mea de loco isto
26 So Joseph died, 110 years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
mortuus est expletis centum decem vitae suae annis et conditus aromatibus repositus est in loculo in Aegypto
