Kejadian 50
1 Lalu Yusuf merebahkan dirinya mendekap muka ayahnya serta menangisi dan mencium dia.
Joseph went and hugged his father, weeping over him and kissing him.
2 Dan Yusuf memerintahkan kepada tabib-tabib, yaitu hamba-hambanya, untuk merempah-rempahi mayat ayahnya; maka tabib-tabib itu merempah-rempahi mayat Israel.
Then Joseph instructed the physicians who worked for him to embalm his father's body. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 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.
This took a full 40 days, the normal time for the process, and the Egyptians mourned for him for 70 days.
4 Setelah lewat hari-hari penangisan itu, berkatalah Yusuf kepada seisi istana Firaun: "Jika kiranya aku mendapat kasihmu, katakanlah kepada Firaun,
Once the time of mourning was over, Joseph said to Pharaoh's officials, “If you'd be so kind, please speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and explain to him that
5 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."
my father made me swear an oath, telling me, ‘You must bury me in the tomb I've prepared for myself in Canaan. Please allow me to go and bury my father and then I'll return.’”
6 Lalu berkatalah Firaun: "Pergilah ke sana dan kuburkanlah ayahmu itu, seperti yang telah disuruhnya engkau bersumpah."
Pharaoh replied, “Go and bury your father as he made you swear to do.”
7 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,
Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh's officials went with him—all Pharaoh's senior advisors and all the leaders of Egypt—
8 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.
as well as Joseph's family, his brothers, and his father's family. They only left the small children and their flocks and herds back in Goshen.
9 Baik kereta maupun orang-orang berkuda turut pergi ke sana bersama-sama dengan dia, sehingga iring-iringan itu sangat besar.
They were accompanied by chariots and horsemen—a really large procession.
10 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.
When they got to the threshing floor of Atad, on the other side of the Jordan, they wept loudly in sorrow. Joseph held a seven-day ceremony of mourning for his father there.
11 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.
The Canaanites who lived there watched the ceremony of mourning at the threshing floor of Atad. They said, “This is a very sad time of mourning for the Egyptians,” so they renamed the place Abel-mizraim, which is on the other side of the Jordan.
12 Anak-anak Yakub melakukan kepadanya, seperti yang dipesankannya kepada mereka.
Jacob's sons did what he had instructed them to do.
13 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.
They carried his body to Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
14 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.
After they had buried their father, Joseph and his brothers returned to Egypt along with all those who had gone with them.
15 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."
However, now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became worried, saying, “Maybe Joseph is holding a grudge against us, and he'll pay us back for all the bad things we did to him.”
16 Sebab itu mereka menyuruh menyampaikan pesan ini kepada Yusuf: "Sebelum ayahmu mati, ia telah berpesan:
So they sent a message to Joseph to tell him, “Before your father died, he gave this order,
17 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.
‘This is what you are to tell Joseph: Forgive your brothers their sins, the bad things they did to you, treating you in such a nasty way.’ Now please forgive us our sins, we who are servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received their message, he cried.
18 Juga saudara-saudaranya datang sendiri dan sujud di depannya serta berkata: "Kami datang untuk menjadi budakmu."
Then his brothers themselves came and fell down before Joseph and said, “We are your slaves!”
19 Tetapi Yusuf berkata kepada mereka: "Janganlah takut, sebab aku inikah pengganti Allah?
“You don't need to be afraid!” he told them. “I don't stand in the place of God, do I?
20 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.
While you planned bad things for me, God planned it for good so that in the end many lives could be saved.
21 Jadi janganlah takut, aku akan menanggung makanmu dan makan anak-anakmu juga." Demikianlah ia menghiburkan mereka dan menenangkan hati mereka dengan perkataannya.
So don't worry. I'll go on taking care of you and your children.” Speaking kindly like this he calmed them down.
22 Adapun Yusuf, ia tetap tinggal di Mesir beserta kaum keluarganya; dan Yusuf hidup seratus sepuluh tahun.
Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's whole family. He lived to be 110,
23 Jadi Yusuf sempat melihat anak cucu Efraim sampai keturunan yang ketiga; juga anak-anak Makhir, anak Manasye, lahir di pangkuan Yusuf.
and saw three generations of his son Ephraim, and the sons of Makir, Manasseh's son, were placed in his lap when they were born.
24 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."
“I'm going to die soon,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will be with you, and he will lead you out of this country to the land that he swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25 Lalu Yusuf menyuruh anak-anak Israel bersumpah, katanya: "Tentu Allah akan memperhatikan kamu; pada waktu itu kamu harus membawa tulang-tulangku dari sini."
Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “When God comes to be with you, you must take my bones with you when you leave.”
26 Kemudian matilah Yusuf, berumur seratus sepuluh tahun. Mayatnya dirempah-rempahi, dan ditaruh dalam peti mati di Mesir.
Joseph died when he was 110. After his body was embalmed, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
