< 1 Мојсијева 50 >
1 Тада Јосиф паде на лице оцу свом, и плака над њим целујући га.
AND Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 И заповеди Јосиф слугама својим лекарима да мирисима помажу оца његовог; и лекари помазаше мирисима Израиља.
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 И наврши му се четрдесет дана, јер толико дана треба оним које помажу мирисима; и плакаше за њим Мисирци седамдесет дана.
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
4 А кад прођоше жалосни дани, рече Јосиф домашњима Фараоновим говорећи: Ако сам нашао милост пред вама, говорите Фараону и реците:
And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 Отац ме је мој заклео говорећи: Ево, ја ћу скоро умрети; у гробу мом, који ископах у земљи хананској, онде ме погреби. Па сада да идем да погребем оца свог, а после ћу опет доћи.
My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
6 А Фараон му рече: Иди, погреби оца свог како те је заклео.
And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
7 И отиде Јосиф да погребе оца свог; и с њим пођоше све слуге Фараонове, старешине од дома његовог и све старешине од земље мисирске.
And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 И сав дом Јосифов и браћа његова и дом оца његовог; само децу своју и овце своје и говеда своја оставише у земљи гесемској.
And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 А пође с њим кола и коњаника толико да беше војска врло велика.
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
10 А кад дођоше на гумно Атадово, које је с оне стране Јордана, плакаше онде много и врло тужно; и Јосиф учини жалост за оцем својим за седам дана.
And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 А људи из оне земље, Хананејци, кад видеше плач на гумну Атадовом, рекоше: У великој су жалости Мисирци. Зато прозваше оно место с оне стране Јордана Жалост мисирска.
And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
12 И учинише му синови његови како им беше заповедио.
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
13 Однесоше га синови његови у земљу хананску, и погребоше га у пећини на њиви макпелској, коју купи Аврам да има свој гроб у Ефрона Хетејина према Мамрији.
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 for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
14 И погребавши оца свог врати се Јосиф у Мисир и браћа његова и сви који беху изашли с њим да погребу оца његовог.
And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 А браћа Јосифова видећи где им отац умре, рекоше: Може бити да се Јосиф срди на нас, па ће нам се осветити за све зло што му учинисмо.
And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
16 Зато поручише Јосифу: Отац твој заповеди на самрти и рече:
And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
17 Овако кажите Јосифу: Молим те, опрости браћи својој безакоње и грех, што ти пакостише; сада опрости безакоње слугама Бога оца твог. А Јосиф заплака се кад му то рекоше.
So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
18 После дођоше и браћа његова и падоше пред њим и рекоше: Ево смо слуге твоје.
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
19 А Јосиф им рече: Не бојте се, зар сам ја место Бога?
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
20 Ви сте мислили зло по ме, али је Бог мислио добро, да учини шта се данас збива, да се сачува у животу многи народ.
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
21 Не бојте се дакле; ја ћу хранити вас и вашу децу. Тако их утеши и ослободи.
Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
22 Тако живљаше Јосиф у Мисиру с домом оца свог, и поживе сто и десет година.
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
23 И виде Јосиф синове Јефремове до трећег колена; и синови Махира сина Манасијиног родише се и одрастоше на коленима Јосифовим.
And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees.
24 И рече Јосиф браћи својој: Ја ћу скоро умрети; али ће вас зацело Бог походити, и извешће вас из ове земље у земљу за коју се заклео Авраму, Исаку и Јакову.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
25 И закле Јосиф синове Израиљеве и рече: Заиста ће вас походити Бог; а ви онда однесите кости моје одавде.
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
26 Потом умре Јосиф, а беше му сто и десет година; и помазавши га мирисима метнуше га у ковчег у Мисиру.
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
