1 Mojzes 50
1 Jožef je padel na očetov obraz, jokal na njem in ga poljubil.
Then Joseph was so distressed that he collapsed on the face of his father, and he wept over him, and he kissed him.
2 Jožef je zapovedal svojim služabnikom zdravnikom, naj balzamirajo njegovega očeta in zdravniki so balzamirali Izraela.
Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 Štirideset dni je bilo izpolnjeno zanj, kajti tako so izpolnjeni dnevi tistih, ki so balzamirani in Egipčani so žalovali za njim sedemdeset dni.
They took forty days, for that was the full time for embalming. The Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
4 Ko so dnevi njegovega žalovanja minili, je Jožef govoril faraonovi hiši, rekoč: »Če sem torej našel milost v vaših očeh, govorite, prosim vas, na faraonova ušesa, rekoč:
When the days of weeping were over, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak to Pharaoh, saying,
5 ›Moj oče me je zaprisegel, rekoč: ›Glej, jaz umrem. V mojem grobu, ki sem si ga izkopal v kánaanski deželi, tam me boš pokopal.‹ Zato me torej pusti iti gor, prosim te in pokopljem svojega očeta in bom ponovno prišel.‹«
'My father made me swear, saying, “See, I am about to die. Bury me in my tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. There you will bury me.” Now let me go up and bury my father, and then I will return.'”
6 Faraon je rekel: »Pojdi gor in pokoplji svojega očeta, kakor te je zaprisegel.«
Pharaoh answered, “Go and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
7 Jožef je odšel gor, da pokoplje svojega očeta in z njim so odšli gor vsi faraonovi služabniki, starešine njegove hiše, vse starešine egiptovske dežele,
Joseph went up to bury his father. All the officials of Pharaoh went with him—the elders of his household, all the senior officials of the land of Egypt,
8 vsa Jožefova hiša, njegovi bratje in hiša njegovega očeta. Samo svoje malčke, svoje trope in svoje črede so pustili v gošenski deželi.
with all Joseph's household and his brothers, and his father's household. But their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen.
9 Z njim so odšli gor tako bojni vozovi kakor konjeniki in to je bila zelo velika skupina.
Chariots and horsemen also went with him. It was a very large group of people.
10 Prišli so k mlatišču Atádu, ki je onstran Jordana in tam so žalovali z velikim in zelo bolečim objokovanjem in za svojega očeta je pripravil sedemdnevno žalovanje.
When they came to the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned with very great and grievous sorrow. There Joseph made a seven-day mourning for his father.
11 Ko so prebivalci dežele, Kánaanci, videli žalovanje na Atádovih tleh, so rekli: »To objokovanje je Egipčanom boleče.« Torej je bilo ime le-tega imenovano Abél Micrájim, ki je onkraj Jordana.
When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a very sad occasion for the Egyptians.” That is why the place was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 Njegovi sinovi so mu storili glede na to, kakor jim je zapovedal,
So his sons did for Jacob just as he had instructed them.
13 kajti njegovi sinovi so ga odnesli v kánaansko deželo in ga pokopali v votlini polja Mahpéle, ki ga je Abraham kupil s poljem za grobno posest od Hetejca Efróna, pred Mamrejem.
His sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. Abraham had bought the cave with the field for a burial place. He had bought it from Ephron the Hittite.
14 Potem ko je pokopal svojega očeta, se je Jožef vrnil v Egipt, on in njegovi bratje in vsi, ki so z njim odšli gor, da pokopljejo njegovega očeta.
After he had buried his father, Joseph returned into Egypt, he, along with his brothers, and all who had accompanied him to bury his father.
15 Ko so Jožefovi bratje videli, da je bil njihov oče mrtev, so rekli: »Jožef nas bo morda sovražil in nam bo zagotovo poplačal vse zlo, ki smo mu ga storili.«
When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds on to anger against us and wants to repay us in full for all the evil we did to him?”
16 K Jožefu so poslali poslanca, rekoč: »Tvoj oče je dal zapoved, preden je umrl, rekoč:
So they commanded the presence of Joseph, saying, “Your father gave instructions before he died, saying,
17 ›Tako boste rekli Jožefu: ›Odpusti, prosim te sedaj, prekršek svojih bratov in njihov greh, kajti storili so ti zlo in sedaj, prosimo te, odpusti prekršek služabnikom Boga svojega očeta.‹« In Jožef je jokal, ko so mu govorili.
'Tell Joseph this, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin when they did evil to you.”' Now please forgive the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 Tudi njegovi bratje so padli dol pred njegovim obličjem in rekli: »Glej, mi smo tvoji služabniki.«
His brothers also went and lay facedown before him. They said, “See, we are your servants.”
19 Jožef jim je rekel: »Ne bojte se, kajti ali sem jaz na mestu Boga?
But Joseph answered them, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
20 Toda kar se tiče vas, ste zoper mene mislili zlo, toda Bog je to preobrnil v dobro, da izvrši, kakor je to današnji dan, da veliko ljudi reši živih.
As for you, you meant to harm me, but God meant it for good, to preserve the lives of many people, as you see today.
21 Zdaj se torej ne bojte, hranil bom vas in vaše malčke.« Potolažil jih je in prijazno govoril z njimi.
So now do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.” He comforted them in this way and spoke kindly to their hearts.
22 Jožef je prebival v Egiptu, on in hiša njegovega očeta in Jožef je živel sto deset let.
Joseph lived in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived one hundred ten years.
23 Jožef je videl Efrájimove otroke tretjega rodu. Tudi otroci Mahírja, Manásejevega sina, so bili vzgojeni na Jožefovih kolenih.
Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. He also saw the children of Machir son of Manasseh, who were placed on the knees of Joseph.
24 Jožef je rekel svojim bratom: »Jaz umiram, Gospod pa vas bo zagotovo obiskal in vas privedel ven iz te dežele, v deželo, ki jo je prisegel Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu.«
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die; but God will surely come to you and lead you up out of this land to the land which he swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
25 Jožef je Izraelove otroke zaprisegel, rekoč: »Bog vas bo zagotovo obiskal in vi boste moje kosti odnesli od tod.«
Then Joseph made the people of Israel swear an oath. He said, “God will surely come to you. At that time you must carry up my bones from here.”
26 Tako je Jožef umrl, star sto deset let in balzamirali so ga in položen je bil v krsto v Egiptu.
So Joseph died, 110 years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
