Kejadian 50

1 Yusuf merebahkan dirinya pada ayahnya sambil menangis dan mencium wajahnya.

Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.

2 Lalu Yusuf memerintahkan tukang pengawet mayat untuk merempah-rempahi jenazah Yakub.

Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 Pekerjaan itu memakan waktu empat puluh hari, yaitu waktu yang biasanya diperlukan untuk merempah-rempahi mayat. Orang Mesir berkabung bagi Yakub, tujuh puluh hari lamanya.

Forty days were required for it, for that is how many the days it takes for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him for seventy days.

4 Setelah habis masa berkabung, berkatalah Yusuf kepada pegawai-pegawai raja, "Sampaikanlah pesan ini kepada raja,

When the days for mourning for him had passed, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

5 'Waktu ayah hamba sudah dekat ajalnya, disuruhnya hamba berjanji kepadanya, bahwa hamba akan menguburkan dia di dalam kuburan yang telah disiapkannya di tanah Kanaan. Sebab itu, izinkanlah hamba pergi untuk menguburkan ayah hamba. Setelah itu hamba akan kembali.'"

'My father made me take an oath, saying, "Look, I am dying. Bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will return again.'"

6 Lalu berkatalah raja, "Pergilah menguburkan ayahmu seperti yang telah kaujanjikan kepadanya."

And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."

7 Lalu pergilah Yusuf untuk menguburkan ayahnya. Semua pegawai raja, para tua-tua istana dan semua pembesar Mesir, pergi bersama-sama dengan Yusuf.

So Joseph went up to bury his father, and all the officials of Pharaoh went up with him, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 Keluarganya, saudara-saudaranya, dan sanak saudaranya yang lain pergi juga. Hanya anak-anak kecil dan ternak mereka ditinggalkan di daerah Gosyen.

all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

9 Pasukan yang berkereta dan berkuda juga ikut, sehingga iring-iringan itu panjang sekali.

And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.

10 Ketika mereka sampai di tempat orang memukul gandum di Goren-Haatad, di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan, mereka meratap dengan sedih dan suara nyaring. Yusuf mengadakan upacara berkabung, tujuh hari lamanya.

Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad which is across the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very bitter lamentation. And he observed seven days of mourning for his father.

11 Ketika penduduk Kanaan melihat perkabungan di Goren-Haatad itu, berkatalah mereka, "Alangkah pilunya upacara perkabungan orang Mesir itu!" Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamakan Abel-Mizraim.

When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is across the Jordan.

12 Demikianlah anak-anak Yakub melakukan apa yang dipesankan Yakub kepada mereka.

So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,

13 Mereka mengangkut jenazahnya ke Kanaan dan menguburkannya dalam gua Makhpela, di sebelah timur Mamre, di ladang yang telah dibeli oleh Abraham dari Efron orang Het itu, untuk dijadikan pekuburan.

for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hethite.

14 Setelah Yusuf menguburkan ayahnya, ia kembali ke Mesir bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudaranya dan semua orang yang mengikuti dia untuk penguburan ayahnya itu.

Then after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up with him to bury his father.

15 Setelah ayah mereka meninggal, abang-abang Yusuf berkata, "Bagaimana seandainya Yusuf dendam dan mau membalas kejahatan kita dahulu?"

When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back in full for all of the evil that we did to him."

16 Sebab itu mereka mengirim pesan ini kepada Yusuf, "Sebelum ayah kita meninggal,

So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,

17 ia menyuruh kami mengatakan kepadamu begini, 'Ampunilah kesalahan yang dahulu dilakukan abang-abangmu terhadapmu.' Jadi, sebagai hamba-hamba Allah yang dipuja ayah kita, kami mohon, ampunilah kesalahan yang telah kami lakukan." Yusuf menangis pada waktu menerima pesan itu.

Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

18 Lalu saudara-saudaranya itu sendiri datang dan sujud di hadapannya serta berkata, "Kami ini hambamu."

Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."

19 Tetapi Yusuf berkata kepada mereka, "Jangan takut; sebab saya tidak bisa bertindak sebagai Allah.

But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

20 Kalian telah bermupakat untuk berbuat jahat kepada saya, tetapi Allah mengubah kejahatan itu menjadi kebaikan, supaya dengan yang terjadi dahulu itu banyak orang yang hidup sekarang dapat diselamatkan.

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.

21 Jangan khawatir. Saya akan mencukupi kebutuhan kalian dan anak-anak kalian." Demikianlah ia menentramkan hati mereka dengan kata-kata yang ramah, sehingga mereka terharu.

So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.

22 Yusuf tetap tinggal di Mesir dengan sanak saudaranya; ia hidup sampai berumur seratus sepuluh tahun.

So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

23 Ia masih sempat melihat anak cucu Efraim. Ia sempat juga mengasuh anak-anak Makhir, yaitu cucu Manasye, sebagai anaknya sendiri.

Joseph saw Ephraim's descendants to the third generation. The children also of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were counted as Joseph's own.

24 Katanya kepada saudara-saudaranya, "Ajal saya sudah dekat, tetapi Allah pasti akan memelihara kalian dan memimpin kalian keluar dari negeri ini, ke negeri yang telah dijanjikan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub."

And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."

25 Lalu Yusuf menyuruh semua sanak saudaranya bersumpah, katanya, "Berjanjilah kepada saya, bahwa apabila Allah memimpin kalian ke negeri itu, kalian akan membawa juga jenazah saya."

Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, "God will surely take care of you. Then you must carry up my bones from here."

26 Kemudian meninggallah Yusuf di Mesir pada usia seratus sepuluh tahun. Mereka merempah-rempahi jenazahnya dan menaruhnya dalam peti mati.

So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
