Postanak 50
1 Tada Josif pade na lice ocu svojemu, i plaka nad njim cjelujuæi ga.
Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
2 I zapovjedi Josif slugama svojim ljekarima da mirisima pomažu oca njegova; i ljekari pomazaše mirisima Izrailja.
Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and 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.
Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for seventy days.
4 A kad proðoše žalosni dani, reèe Josif domašnjima Faraonovijem govoreæi: ako sam našao milost pred vama, govorite Faraonu i recite:
When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak 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, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
6 A Faraon mu reèe: idi, pogrebi oca svojega kako te je zakleo.
Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you 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,
Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, 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.
all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 A poðe s njim i kola i konjika toliko da bješe vojska vrlo velika.
Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It 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.
They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned 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.
When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 I uèiniše mu sinovi njegovi kako im bješe zapovjedio.
His sons did to him just as he 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.
for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near 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.
Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went 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.
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”
16 Zato poruèiše Josifu: otac tvoj zapovjedi na smrti i reèe:
They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded 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.
‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 Poslije doðoše i braæa njegova i padoše pred njim i rekoše: evo smo sluge tvoje.
His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 A Josif im reèe: ne bojte se, zar sam ja mjesto Boga?
Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
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.
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
21 Ne bojte se dakle; ja æu hraniti vas i vašu djecu. Tako ih utješi i oslobodi.
Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 Tako življaše Josif u Misiru s domom oca svojega, i poživje sto i deset godina.
Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
23 I vidje Josif sinove Jefremove do treæega koljena; i sinovi Mahira sina Manasijina rodiše se i odrastoše na koljenima Josifovijem.
Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on 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.
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore 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.
Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
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 one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
