< Бытие 50 >
1 И припад Иосиф на лице отца своего, плакася (горько) о нем и облобыза его:
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 и повеле Иосиф рабом своим погребателем погребсти отца своего. И погребоша погребателие Израиля.
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 И исполнишася ему четыредесять дний: тако бо исчисляются дние погребения: и плакася его Египет седмьдесят дний.
And they fulfilled for him forty days: for so they fulfill the days of those that are embalmed; and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
4 Егда же преидоша дние плача, глагола Иосиф ко вельможам фараоновым, глаголя: аще обретох благодать пред вами, рцыте о мне во ушы фараону, глаголюще:
And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke 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 отец мой закля мя прежде скончания (своего), глаголя: во гробе, егоже ископах себе в земли Ханаани, тамо мя погреби: ныне убо возшед погребу отца моего и возвращуся. И рекоша фараону по словеси Иосифову.
My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die; in my grave, which I have dug for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me: now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and I will bury my father, and return again.
6 И рече фараон ко Иосифу: взыди, погреби отца твоего, якоже закля тя.
And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, as he hath made thee swear.
7 И взыде Иосиф погребсти отца своего. И совзыдоша с ним вси раби фараони и старейшины дому его, и вси старейшины земли Египетския,
And 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 и весь дом Иосифов и братия его, и весь дом отца его и сродницы его: овцы же и волы оставиша в земли Гесем.
And all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father's house; only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left behind in the land of Goshen.
9 И совзыдоша с ним и колесницы и конницы, и бысть полк велик зело.
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and the encampment was very great.
10 И приидоша на Гумно Атадово, еже есть об он пол Иордана, и рыдаша его рыданием велиим и крепким зело: и сотвори плачь отцу своему седмь дний.
And they came to the thrashing-floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and they held there a great and very sore lamentation; and he made for his father a mourning of seven days.
11 И видеша жителие земли Ханаанския плачь на Гумне Атадове и реша: плачь велик сей есть Египтяном. Сего ради наречеся имя месту тому плачь Египетск, еже есть об он пол Иордана.
And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the thrashing-floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians; wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizrayim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 И сотвориша ему тако сынове его, якоже заповеда им.
And his sons did unto him according as he had commanded them;
13 И взяша его сынове его в землю Ханааню и погребоша его в пещере Сугубей, юже стяжа Авраам пещеру в стяжание гроба от Ефрона Хеттеанина, прямо Мамврии.
And his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which field Abraham bought for a possession, as a burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
14 И возвратися Иосиф во Египет, сам и братия его и вси совозшедшии погребсти отца его.
And Joseph returned unto Egypt, he, and his brothers, and all that were gone up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 Видевше же братия Иосифовы, яко умре отец их, реша: да не когда воспомянет злобу нашу Иосиф и воздаянием воздаст нам за вся злая, яже показахом ему.
And when Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, Peradventure Joseph may now hate us: and then he would certainly requite us all the evil which we have done unto him.
16 И пришедше ко Иосифу рекоша: отец твой закля прежде кончины своея, глаголя:
And they sent word unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before his death, saying,
17 тако рцыте Иосифу: остави им неправду и грех их, яко лукавая тебе показаша: и ныне приими неправду рабов Бога отца твоего. И плакася Иосиф, глаголющим им к нему.
So shall ye say unto Joseph, O forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy brothers, and their sin; for evil have they done unto thee: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father; and Joseph wept when they spoke unto him.
18 И пришедше к нему рекоша: се, мы тебе раби.
And his brothers also went and fell down before him; and they said, Behold, we will be thy servants.
19 И рече к ним Иосиф: не бойтеся, Божий бо есмь аз:
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not; for am I in the place of God?
20 вы совещасте на мя злая, Бог же совеща о мне благая, дабы было якоже днесь, и препиталися бы людие мнози.
But as for you, though ye thought evil against me, God meant it unto good; in order to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save alive a numerous people.
21 И рече им: не бойтеся, аз препитаю вас и домы вашя. И утеши их, и глагола им по сердцу их.
Now therefore fear ye not, I will support you, and your little ones; and he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto them.
22 И вселися Иосиф во Египте сам и братия его и весь дом отца его: и поживе Иосиф лет сто десять.
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house; and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.
23 И виде Иосиф Ефремли дети до третияго рода: и сынове Махира сына Манассиина родишася при бедрех Иосифовых.
And Joseph saw of Ephraim children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Menasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
24 И рече Иосиф братии своей, глаголя: аз умираю, посещением же посетит вас Бог и изведет вас от земли сея в землю, о нейже клятся Бог отцем нашым Аврааму, Исааку и Иакову.
And Joseph said unto his brothers, I shall die; but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which he hath sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
25 И закля Иосиф сыны Израилевы, глаголя: в посещении, имже посетит вас Бог, совознесите и кости моя отсюду с вами.
And Joseph caused the children of Israel to swear, saying, God will surely visit you, and then shall ye carry up my bones from here.
26 И скончася Иосиф сый лет ста десяти: и погребоша его, и положиша в раце во Египте.
So Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
