< Postanak 50 >

1 Tada Josif pade na lice ocu svojemu, i plaka nad njim cjelujuæi ga.
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him.
2 I zapovjedi Josif slugama svojim ljekarima da mirisima pomažu oca njegova; i ljekari pomazaše mirisima Izrailja.
And Joseph commanded his servants the embalmers to embalm his father; and the embalmers embalmed Israel.
3 I navrši mu se èetrdeset dana, jer toliko dana treba onijem koje pomažu mirisima; i plakaše za njim Misirci sedamdeset dana.
And they fulfilled forty days for him, for so are the days of embalming numbered; and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
4 A kad proðoše žalosni dani, reèe Josif domašnjima Faraonovijem govoreæi: ako sam našao milost pred vama, govorite Faraonu i recite:
And when the days of mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the princes of Pharao, saying, If I have found favour in your sight, speak concerning me in the ears of Pharao, saying,
5 Otac me je moj zakleo govoreæi: evo, ja æu skoro umrijeti; u grobu mojem, koji iskopah u zemlji Hananskoj, ondje me pogrebi. Pa sada da idem da pogrebem oca svojega, a poslije æu opet doæi.
My father adjured me, saying, In the sepulchre which I dug for myself in the land of Chanaan, there you shall bury me; now then I will go up and bury my father, and return again.
6 A Faraon mu reèe: idi, pogrebi oca svojega kako te je zakleo.
And Pharao said to Joseph, Go up, bury your father, as he constrained you to swear.
7 I otide Josif da pogrebe oca svojega; i s njim poðoše sve sluge Faraonove, starješine od doma njegova i sve starješine od zemlje Misirske,
So Joseph went up to bury his father; and all the servants of Pharao went up with him, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
8 I sav dom Josifov i braæa njegova i dom oca njegova; samo djecu svoju i ovce svoje i goveda svoja ostaviše u zemlji Gesemskoj.
And all the household of Joseph, and his brethren, and all the house of his father, and his kindred; and they left behind the sheep and the oxen in the land of Gesem.
9 A poðe s njim i kola i konjika toliko da bješe vojska vrlo velika.
And there went up with him also chariots and horsemen; and there was a very great company.
10 A kad doðoše na gumno Atadovo, koje je s onu stranu Jordana, plakaše ondje mnogo i vrlo tužno; i Josif uèini žalost za ocem svojim za sedam dana.
And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan; and they bewailed him with a great and very sore lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 A ljudi iz one zemlje, Hananejci, kad vidješe plaè na gumnu Atadovu, rekoše: u velikoj su žalosti Misirci. Zato prozvaše ono mjesto s onu stranu Jordana žalost Misirska.
And the inhabitants of the land of Chanaan saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, and said, This is a great mourning to the Egyptians; therefore he called its name, The mourning of Egypt, which is beyond Jordan.
12 I uèiniše mu sinovi njegovi kako im bješe zapovjedio.
And thus his sons did to him.
13 Odnesoše ga sinovi njegovi u zemlju Hanansku, i pogreboše ga u peæini na njivi Makpelskoj, koju kupi Avram da ima svoj grob u Efrona Hetejina prema Mamriji.
So his sons carried him up into the land of Chanaan, and buried him in the double cave, which cave Abraam bought for possession of a burying place, of Ephrom the Chettite, before Mambre.
14 I pogrebavši oca svojega vrati se Josif u Misir i braæa njegova i svi koji bijahu izašli s njim da pogrebu oca njegova.
And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and those that had gone up with him to bury his father.
15 A braæa Josifova videæi gdje im otac umrije, rekoše: može biti da se Josif srdi na nas, pa æe nam se osvetiti za sve zlo što mu uèinismo.
And when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, [Let us take heed], lest at any time Joseph remember evil against us, and recompense to us all the evils which we have done against him.
16 Zato poruèiše Josifu: otac tvoj zapovjedi na smrti i reèe:
And they came to Joseph, and said, Your father adjured [us] before his death, saying,
17 Ovako kažite Josifu: molim te, oprosti braæi svojoj bezakonje i grijeh, što ti pakostiše; sada oprosti bezakonje slugama Boga oca tvojega. A Josif zaplaka se kad mu to rekoše.
Thus say you to Joseph, Forgive them their injustice and their sin, forasmuch as they have done you evil; and now pardon the injustice of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept while they spoke to him.
18 Poslije doðoše i braæa njegova i padoše pred njim i rekoše: evo smo sluge tvoje.
And they came to him and said, We, these [persons], are your servants.
19 A Josif im reèe: ne bojte se, zar sam ja mjesto Boga?
And Joseph said to them, Fear not, for I am God's.
20 Vi ste mislili zlo po me, ali je Bog mislio dobro, da uèini što se danas zbiva, da se saèuva u životu mnogi narod.
You took counsel against me for evil, but God took counsel for me for good, that [the matter] might be as [it is] today, and much people might be fed.
21 Ne bojte se dakle; ja æu hraniti vas i vašu djecu. Tako ih utješi i oslobodi.
And he said to them, Fear not, I will maintain you, and your families: and he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 Tako življaše Josif u Misiru s domom oca svojega, i poživje sto i deset godina.
And Joseph lived in Egypt, he and his brethren, and all the family of his father; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
23 I vidje Josif sinove Jefremove do treæega koljena; i sinovi Mahira sina Manasijina rodiše se i odrastoše na koljenima Josifovijem.
And Joseph saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation; and the sons of Machir the son of Manasse were borne on the sides of Joseph.
24 I reèe Josif braæi svojoj: ja æu skoro umrijeti; ali æe vas zacijelo Bog pohoditi, i izvešæe vas iz ove zemlje u zemlju za koju se zakleo Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu.
And Joseph spoke to his brethren, saying, I die, and God will surely visit you, and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers, Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 I zakle Josif sinove Izrailjeve i reèe: zaista æe vas pohoditi Bog; a vi onda odnesite kosti moje odavde.
And Joseph adjured the sons of Israel, saying, At the visitation with which God shall visit you, then you shall carry up my bones hence with you.
26 Potom umrije Josif, a bješe mu sto i deset godina; i pomazavši ga mirisima metnuše ga u kovèeg u Misiru.
And Joseph died, aged an hundred and ten years; and they prepared his corpse, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
