Kejadian 50
1 Dengan sangat sedih, Yusuf memeluk ayahnya dan mencium wajahnya sambil menangis.
Then Joseph was so distressed that he collapsed on the face of his father, and he wept over him, and he kissed him.
2 Lalu Yusuf memberi perintah agar jenazah ayahnya diawetkan dengan wangi-wangian dari getah pohon. Perintah itu dikerjakan oleh orang-orang Mesir yang ahli dalam pengawetan jenazah.
Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 Waktu yang diperlukan untuk mengerjakannya adalah empat puluh hari. Orang-orang Mesir berkabung untuk Yakub selama tujuh puluh hari.
They took forty days, for that was the full time for embalming. The Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
4 Setelah masa berkabung selesai, Yusuf berkata kepada para pegawai istana, “Kalau kalian bersedia membantu saya, tolong sampaikan pesan ini kepada raja,
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,
5 ‘Sebelum ayah meninggal, dia meminta saya bersumpah untuk menguburkannya di makam yang sudah dia siapkan di negeri Kanaan. Mohon izinkan saya pergi ke sana untuk menguburnya. Setelah itu saya akan kembali.’”
'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.'”
6 Jawab raja, “Ya, tepatilah janjimu kepadanya. Pergilah menguburkan ayahmu.”
Pharaoh answered, “Go and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
7 Maka Yusuf pergi menguburkan ayahnya. Semua pejabat kerajaan, tua-tua istana, dan para pejabat senior negeri Mesir juga ikut bersama dia.
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,
8 Seluruh anggota keluarga Yusuf, saudara-saudaranya, dan segenap keluarga besar Yakub pergi bersamanya. Hanya anak-anak kecil dan kawanan ternak mereka yang tetap di Gosyen.
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.
9 Selain itu, ada juga pasukan berkereta dan berkuda yang ikut, sehingga rombongan itu menjadi sangat besar.
Chariots and horsemen also went with him. It was a very large group of people.
10 Sesudah mereka tiba di tempat pengirikan milik Atad yang terletak di seberang sungai Yordan, acara perkabungan selama tujuh hari dimulai. Acara itu diiringi dengan tangisan dan ratapan.
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.
11 Ketika orang-orang Kanaan melihat acara perkabungan dan penguburan itu, mereka berkata, “Betapa dalamnya dukacita orang-orang Mesir itu!” Maka sejak saat itu, tempat tersebut dinamai Tempat Orang Mesir Berkabung.
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.
12 Anak-anak Yakub pun melaksanakan pesan terakhir ayah mereka.
So his sons did for Jacob just as he had instructed them.
13 Jenazah Yakub dibawa dan dikuburkan di gua yang ada di Makpela, dekat Hebron di Kanaan. Gua itu berada di ladang yang sudah dibeli Abraham dari Efron, orang Het. Abraham membelinya untuk dijadikan tempat peristirahatan terakhir keluarga mereka.
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.
14 Sesudah menguburkan Yakub, kembalilah Yusuf beserta saudara-saudaranya dan seluruh rombongan itu ke Mesir.
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.
15 Kini, setelah ayah mereka tiada, kakak-kakak Yusuf merasa takut terhadapnya. Kata mereka, “Bagaimana kalau Yusuf masih menyimpan dendam atas semua perbuatan jahat yang dulu kita lakukan kepadanya?”
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?”
16 Maka mereka sepakat untuk mengirim permohonan kepada Yusuf, yang isinya, “Sebelum ayah meninggal,
So they commanded the presence of Joseph, saying, “Your father gave instructions before he died, saying,
17 dia memberi pesan untuk disampaikan kepadamu, katanya, ‘Maafkanlah semua perbuatan jahat yang pernah dilakukan saudara-saudaramu terhadapmu.’ Jadi kami, kakakmu— yang sama seperti engkau juga menyembah Allah yang disembah ayah kita— memohon agar engkau bersedia memaafkan kami.” Maka menangislah Yusuf ketika menerima pesan itu.
'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.
18 Saudara-saudaranya datang dan bersujud di hadapan Yusuf untuk memohon belas kasihan sambil berkata, “Kami ini adalah hambamu.”
His brothers also went and lay facedown before him. They said, “See, we are your servants.”
19 Jawab Yusuf kepada mereka, “Jangan takut! Aku tidak berhak untuk menghakimi kalian karena aku bukan Allah.
But Joseph answered them, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
20 Dulu, kalian memang merencanakan hal yang jahat terhadapku. Tetapi sesungguhnya Allah memiliki rencana yang baik dalam kejadian itu, supaya banyak orang dapat diselamatkan, seperti yang sudah terjadi.
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.
21 Tidak ada yang perlu kalian takuti. Aku akan mencukupi kebutuhan kalian dan anak-anak kalian.” Demikianlah Yusuf menenangkan hati mereka.
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.
22 Yusuf dan saudara-saudaranya bersama keluarga mereka tetap tinggal di Mesir. Yusuf meninggal pada usia 110 tahun.
Joseph lived in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived one hundred ten years.
23 Sebelum meninggal, Yusuf sempat melihat anak dan cucu Efraim, juga cicitnya dari Makir, anak Manasye. Mereka diangkat oleh Yusuf sebagai anak dan menerima warisan darinya.
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.
24 Yusuf berkata kepada saudara-saudaranya, “Kematianku sudah dekat, tetapi Allah akan menyertai kalian dan memimpin kalian keluar dari Mesir untuk kembali ke tanah yang sudah dijanjikan-Nya kepada Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub.
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.”
25 “Jadi, aku mohon agar kalian bersumpah bahwa ketika Allah membawa kalian keluar dari Mesir untuk kembali ke Kanaan, kalian harus membawa tulang-tulangku untuk dikuburkan di sana.”
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.”
26 Yusuf meninggal pada usia 110 tahun. Lalu jenazahnya diawetkan dan disimpan di Mesir dalam peti.
So Joseph died, 110 years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
