Postanak 50
1 Tada Josif pade na lice ocu svojemu, i plaka nad njim cjelujuæi ga.
And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.
2 I zapovjedi Josif slugama svojim ljekarima da mirisima pomažu oca njegova; i ljekari pomazaše mirisima Izrailja.
Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —so the physicians 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 for him forty days, for so, are they wont to fulfil the days of the embalmed, —and the Egyptians wept 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 weeping for him were passed, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh saying, —If I pray you, I have found favour in your eyes, speak ye I pray you in the ears of Pharaoh 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, made me swear saying, —Lo! I, am about to die, —in my grave which I digged for myself in the land of Canaan, there, shalt thou bury me. Now, therefore, let me go up, I pray thee and bury my father, and return.
6 A Faraon mu reèe: idi, pogrebi oca svojega kako te je zakleo.
And Pharaoh said, —Go up., and bury thy father according as he made thee 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 there went up with him all the servants of Pharaoh 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 house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father, —only their little ones and their flocks and their herds, left they. in the land of Goshen.
9 A poðe s njim i kola i konjika toliko da bješe vojska vrlo velika.
And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,
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 in, as far as the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, which is beyond the Jordan, then wailed they there—an exceeding great and grievous wailing, —and he made for his father a mourning, of 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 when the dwellers in the land—the Canaanites—saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, they said, —A grievous mourning, this! for the Egyptians. For this cause, was the name thereof called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 I uèiniše mu sinovi njegovi kako im bješe zapovjedio.
And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;
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 to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, —which Abraham bought—with the field—for a possession of a buryingplace from Ephron the Hittite over against Mamre.
14 I pogrebavši oca svojega vrati se Josif u Misir i braæa njegova i svi koji bijahu izašli s njim da pogrebu oca njegova.
Then Joseph returned to Egypt he and his brethren and all who had been up with him to bury his father, —after he had buried 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.
Now when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said—Oh! if Joseph should lie in wait for us, —and should return, to us, all the evil wherewith we requited him!
16 Zato poruèiše Josifu: otac tvoj zapovjedi na smrti i reèe:
So they sent in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died 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, shall ye say to Joseph—Ah now! do forgive we pray thee the transgression of thy brethren and their sin in that with evil, they requited thee. Now, therefore grant forgiveness we pray thee, for the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father! And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
18 Poslije doðoše i braæa njegova i padoše pred njim i rekoše: evo smo sluge tvoje.
Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.
19 A Josif im reèe: ne bojte se, zar sam ja mjesto Boga?
And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.
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.
Ye, indeed, planned against me, evil, —God, planned it, for good, for the sake of doing, as at this day, to save alive much people.
21 Ne bojte se dakle; ja æu hraniti vas i vašu djecu. Tako ih utješi i oslobodi.
Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.
22 Tako življaše Josif u Misiru s domom oca svojega, i poživje sto i deset godina.
And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —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 Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.
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.
Then said Joseph unto his brethren, I, am about to die, —but God will surely concern, himself for you, so will he take you up out of this land, into the land which he sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.
25 I zakle Josif sinove Izrailjeve i reèe: zaista æe vas pohoditi Bog; a vi onda odnesite kosti moje odavde.
Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear saying, —God will, surely concern, himself for you, So shall ye carry up my bones, from hence.
26 Potom umrije Josif, a bješe mu sto i deset godina; i pomazavši ga mirisima metnuše ga u kovèeg u Misiru.
So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
