Genesis 50

1 And Joseph falleth on his father's face, and weepeth over him, and kisseth him;

quod cernens Ioseph ruit super faciem patris flens et deosculans eum

2 and Joseph commandeth his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm Israel;

praecepitque servis suis medicis ut aromatibus condirent patrem

3 and they fulfil for him forty days, for so they fulfil the days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians weep for him seventy days.

quibus iussa explentibus transierunt quadraginta dies iste quippe mos erat cadaverum conditorum flevitque eum Aegyptus septuaginta diebus

4 And the days of his weeping pass away, and Joseph speaketh unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, 'If, I pray you, I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of 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 caused me to swear, saying, Lo, I am dying; in my burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of Canaan, there dost thou bury me; and now, let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and 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 and Pharaoh saith, 'Go up and bury thy father, as he caused thee to swear.'

dixitque ei Pharao ascende et sepeli patrem tuum sicut adiuratus es

7 And Joseph goeth up to bury his father, and go up with him do all the servants of Pharaoh, elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

quo ascendente ierunt cum eo omnes senes domus Pharaonis cunctique maiores natu terrae Aegypti

8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father; only their infants, and their flock, and their herd, have they left in the land of Goshen;

domus Ioseph cum fratribus suis absque parvulis et gregibus atque armentis quae dereliquerant in terra Gessen

9 and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.

habuit quoque in comitatu currus et equites et facta est turba non modica

10 And they come unto the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is] beyond the Jordan, and they lament there, a lamentation great and very grievous; and he maketh for his father a mourning seven days,

veneruntque ad aream Atad quae sita est trans Iordanem ubi celebrantes exequias planctu magno atque vehementi impleverunt septem dies

11 and the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, see the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad, and say, 'A grievous mourning [is] this to the Egyptians;' therefore hath [one] called its name 'The mourning of the Egyptians,' 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 And his sons do to him so as he commanded them,

fecerunt ergo filii Iacob sicut praeceperat eis

13 and his sons bear him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of Mamre.

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 And Joseph turneth back to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his burying his father.

reversusque est Ioseph in Aegyptum cum fratribus suis et omni comitatu sepulto patre

15 And the brethren of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, 'Peradventure Joseph doth hate us, and doth certainly return to us all the evil which we did with 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 And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, 'Thy father commanded before his death, saying,

mandaverunt ei pater tuus praecepit nobis antequam moreretur

17 Thus ye do say to Joseph, I pray thee, bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for they have done thee evil; and now, bear, we pray thee, with the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father;' and Joseph weepeth in their speaking unto 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 And his brethren also go and fall before him, and say, 'Lo, we [are] to thee for servants.'

veneruntque ad eum fratres sui et proni in terram dixerunt servi tui sumus

19 And Joseph saith unto them, 'Fear not, for [am] I in the place of God?

quibus ille respondit nolite timere num Dei possumus rennuere voluntatem

20 As for you, ye devised against me evil — God devised it for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a numerous people;

vos cogitastis de me malum et Deus vertit illud in bonum ut exaltaret me sicut inpraesentiarum cernitis et salvos faceret multos populos

21 and now, fear not: I do nourish you and your infants;' and he comforteth them, and speaketh unto their heart.

nolite metuere ego pascam vos et parvulos vestros consolatusque est eos et blande ac leniter est locutus

22 And Joseph dwelleth in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph liveth a hundred and ten years,

et habitavit in Aegypto cum omni domo patris sui vixitque centum decem annis

23 and Joseph looketh on Ephraim's sons of the third [generation]; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.

et vidit Ephraim filios usque ad tertiam generationem filii quoque Machir filii Manasse nati sunt in genibus Ioseph

24 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, 'I am dying, and God doth certainly inspect you, and hath caused you to go up from this land, unto the land which He hath sworn 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 And Joseph causeth the sons of Israel to swear, saying, 'God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones from this [place].'

cumque adiurasset eos atque dixisset Deus visitabit vos asportate vobiscum ossa mea de loco isto

26 And Joseph dieth, a son of an hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.

mortuus est expletis centum decem vitae suae annis et conditus aromatibus repositus est in loculo in Aegypto
