Pirmā Mozus 50
1 Tad Jāzeps krita uz sava tēva vaigu un raudāja pār viņu un to skūpstīja.
Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
2 Un Jāzeps pavēlēja saviem kalpiem, tiem dziedniekiem, ka tie svaidītu viņa tēvu ar balzamu, un tie dziednieki svaidīja Israēli.
Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
3 Un tā pagāja četrdesmit dienas, jo tik daudz dienas pie svaidīšanas aiziet, un ēģiptieši viņu apraudāja septiņdesmit dienas.
So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
4 Kad nu viņa raudu dienas bija pagājušas, tad Jāzeps runāja uz Faraona namu un sacīja: ja es esmu atradis žēlastību jūsu acīs, tad runājiet jel priekš Faraona ausīm un sakāt:
When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
5 Mans tēvs man ir licis zvērēt sacīdams: redzi, es mirstu; manā kapā, ko es sev esmu racis Kanaāna zemē, tur tev būs mani aprakt. Un nu vēli man jel noiet, ka es savu tēvu aproku, tad es atkal nākšu atpakaļ.
‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
6 Un Faraons sacīja: ej un aproc savu tēvu, tā kā viņš tev ir licis zvērēt.
After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
7 Tad Jāzeps aizgāja savu tēvu aprakt, un viņam gāja līdz visi Faraona kalpi, viņa nama vecaji un visi Ēģiptes zemes vecaji,
So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
8 Un viss Jāzepa nams un viņa brāļi un viņa tēva nams, tikai savus bērniņus un savus sīkos lopus un savus lielos lopus tie atstāja Gošenes zemē.
His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
9 Un viņam gāja līdz rati un jātnieki, un bija varen liels pulks.
Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
10 Kad tie nu nāca pie Atad klona, kas ir viņpus Jardānes, tad tie tur žēlojās lielās grūtās žēlabās, un viņš savam tēvam darīja septiņas raudu dienas.
They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
11 Kad tās zemes ļaudis, tie Kanaānieši, redzēja tās žēlabas pie Atad klona, tad tie sacīja: ēģiptiešiem tur ir grūtas žēlabas, tāpēc tās vietas vārdu nosauca ēģiptiešu žēlabas, kas viņpus Jardānes.
When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
12 Un viņa dēli viņam darīja, kā viņš tiem bija pavēlējis.
Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
13 Jo viņa dēli to veda uz Kanaāna zemi un to apraka Makpelas tīruma alā, ko Ābrahāms ar to tīrumu bija pircis sev par dzimts kapa vietu no Efrona, tā Hetieša, pret Mamri.
They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
14 Un Jāzeps griezās atpakaļ uz Ēģipti, viņš un viņa brāļi un visi, kas ar viņu bija gājuši, viņa tēvu aprakt, pēc tam kad viņš savu tēvu bija paglabājis.
After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
15 Bet Jāzepa brāļi bijās, kad viņu tēvs bija miris un sacīja: kad tik Jāzeps mūs neienīdēs un mums neatmaksās visu to ļaunumu, ko mēs viņam esam darījuši.
After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
16 Tad tie lika Jāzepam sacīt: tavs tēvs pavēlēja, pirms tas mira, un sacīja:
So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
17 Tā jums būs sacīt Jāzepam: piedod lūdzams savu brāļu noziegumu un viņu grēku, jo tie tev ļaunu darījuši, bet nu piedod lūdzams to noziegumu sava tēva Dieva kalpotājiem. Un Jāzeps raudāja, kad tie tā uz viņu runāja.
‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
18 Tad viņa brāļi paši nāca un metās priekš viņa zemē un sacīja: redzi, mēs esam tavi kalpi.
Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
19 Un Jāzeps uz tiem sacīja: nebīstaties! Vai tad es esmu Dieva vietā?
But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
20 Jūs gan esat ļaunu pret mani domājuši, bet Dievs to par labu ir nodomājis, gribēdams, tā kā šodien redzams, uzturēt daudz ļaudis pie dzīvības.
As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
21 Un nu nebīstaties, - es uzturēšu jūs un jūsu bērniņus. Un viņš tos iepriecināja un ar tiem laipnīgi runāja.
So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
22 Un Jāzeps dzīvoja Ēģiptē, viņš un viņa tēva nams; un Jāzeps dzīvoja simts un desmit gadus.
Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
23 Un Jāzeps redzēja no Efraīma bērnus līdz trešam augumam, un Mahira, Manasus dēla, bērni piedzima Jāzepa klēpī.
He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
24 Un Jāzeps sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: es mirstu, bet Dievs jūs meklēt piemeklēs un jūs izvedīs no šīs zemes uz to zemi, ko viņš Ābrahāmam, Īzakam un Jēkabam zvērējis.
One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25 Un Jāzeps Israēla dēliem lika zvērēt sacīdams: Dievs jūs meklēt piemeklēs, tad jums manus kaulus būs aizvest no šejienes.
Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
26 Un Jāzeps nomira simts un desmit gadus vecs, un tie viņu svaidīja ar balzamu un ielika šķirstā Ēģiptes zemē.
So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
