1 Мојсијева 50
1 Тада Јосиф паде на лице оцу свом, и плака над њим целујући га.
Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
2 И заповеди Јосиф слугама својим лекарима да мирисима помажу оца његовог; и лекари помазаше мирисима Израиља.
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.
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 А кад прођоше жалосни дани, рече Јосиф домашњима Фараоновим говорећи: Ако сам нашао милост пред вама, говорите Фараону и реците:
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 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, “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 А Фараон му рече: Иди, погреби оца свог како те је заклео.
Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you 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.
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 И сав дом Јосифов и браћа његова и дом оца његовог; само децу своју и овце своје и говеда своја оставише у земљи гесемској.
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 А пође с њим кола и коњаника толико да беше војска врло велика.
Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. 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.
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 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.
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 И учинише му синови његови како им беше заповедио.
His sons did to him just 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, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near 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.
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 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.
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 Зато поручише Јосифу: Отац твој заповеди на самрти и рече:
They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded 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.
‘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 После дођоше и браћа његова и падоше пред њим и рекоше: Ево смо слуге твоје.
His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 А Јосиф им рече: Не бојте се, зар сам ја место Бога?
Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, 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.
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
21 Не бојте се дакле; ја ћу хранити вас и вашу децу. Тако их утеши и ослободи.
Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 Тако живљаше Јосиф у Мисиру с домом оца свог, и поживе сто и десет година.
Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
23 И виде Јосиф синове Јефремове до трећег колена; и синови Махира сина Манасијиног родише се и одрастоше на коленима Јосифовим.
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 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.
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 И закле Јосиф синове Израиљеве и рече: Заиста ће вас походити Бог; а ви онда однесите кости моје одавде.
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 Потом умре Јосиф, а беше му сто и десет година; и помазавши га мирисима метнуше га у ковчег у Мисиру.
So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
