1 Mosebok 50
1 Då föll Joseph in på sins faders ansigte, och gret, och kysste honom.
Joseph [May he add] fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
2 Och Joseph befallte sina tjenare läkarena, att de skulle smörja hans fader: Och läkarena smorde Israel;
Joseph [May he add] enjoined his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel [God prevails].
3 Tilldess fyratio dagar voro förgångne; ty så länge varade smörjedagarna. Och de Egyptier begreto honom i sjutio dagar.
Forty days were fulfilled for him, for that is how many the days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] wept for him for seventy days.
4 Då nu sörjedagarne ute voro, talade Joseph med Pharaos gårdsfolk, och sade: Hafver jag funnit nåd för eder, så taler med Pharao, och säger:
When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph [May he add] spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found chen ·grace· in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 Min fader hafver tagit en ed af mig, och sagt: Si, jag dör; begraf mig i mine graf, som jag hafver grafvit mig i Canaans lande. Så vill jag nu fara upp och begrafva min fader, och komma igen.
‘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 [Humbled].” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
6 Pharao sade: Far dit upp, och begraf din fader, som du honom svorit hafver.
Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”
7 Så for Joseph upp till att begrafva sin fader: Oh med honom foro alle Pharaos tjenare, de äldste af hans folk, och alle de äldste i Egypti lande;
Joseph [May he add] 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 [Abode of slavery],
8 Dertill allt Josephs folk, och hans bröder, och hans faders folk; allena deras barn, får och fä lefde de i det landet Gosen.
All the house of Joseph [May he add], his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen [Drawing near].
9 Och foro desslikes upp med honom vagnar och resenärer, och var en ganska stor skare.
There went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.
10 Då de nu kommo in på den planen Atad, som ligger in emot Jordan, då höllo de en ganska stor och bitter dödklagan; och han sörjde öfver sin fader i sju dagar.
They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan [Descender], and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.
11 Och då folket i landet, de Cananeer, sågo det sörjandet på den planen Atad, sade de: De Egyptier sörja der fast. Deraf kallar man det rummet de Egyptiers sorg; hvilket ligger in emot Jordan.
When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled], saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery].” Therefore its name was called Abel [Vanity, Mourning] Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan [Descender].
12 Och hans barn gjorde som han dem befallt hade.
His sons did to him just as he enjoined them,
13 Och förde honom i Canaans land, och begrofvo honom i den dubbelkulone af åkren, som Abraham med åkrenom köpt hade till arfgrift af Ephron Hetheen, tvärt emot Mamre.
for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan [Humbled], and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah [Double], which Abraham [Father of a multitude] bought with the field, for a possession of a burial site, from Ephron [Fawn-like] the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], before Mamre [Bitter, Fatness].
14 Så for Joseph åter in i Egypten med sina bröder, och med allom dem, som voro farne upp med honom till att begrafva hans fader; när de hade begrafvit honom.
Joseph [May he add] returned into Egypt [Abode of slavery]— he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 Men Josephs bröder fruktade sig, då deras fader var död, och sade: Kanske, att Joseph är oss gramse, och måtte vedergälla oss det onda vi honom gjort hafve.
When Joseph [May he add]’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph [May he add] will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”
16 Derföre läto de säga honom: Din fader gaf befallning för sin död, och sade:
They sent a message to Joseph [May he add], saying, “Your father enjoined before he died, saying,
17 Så skolen I säga till Joseph: Käre, förlåt dina bröder deras missgerning och synd, att de så illa hafva gjort emot dig. Käre, förlåt oss nu, som ärom dins faders Guds tjenare, denna missgerning. Men Joseph gret, då de sådant talade med honom.
‘You shall tell Joseph [May he add], “Now please forgive the rebellious breach of relationship of your brothers, and their habitual sin ·missing the mark·, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the rebellious breach of relationship of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph [May he add] wept when they spoke to him.
18 Och hans bröder gingo till, och föllo ned för honom, och sade: Si, vi äre dine tjenare.
His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 Joseph sade till dem: Frukter eder icke, ty jag är under Gudi.
Joseph [May he add] said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
20 I tänkten ondt öfver mig, men Gud hafver vändt det till godo, att han gjorde som för ögon är, till att frälsa mycket folk.
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is today, to save many people alive.
21 Så frukter eder nu intet, jag vill försörja eder och edro barn. Och han stärkte dem, och talade vänliga med dem.
Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 Så bodde Joseph i Egypten med sins faders huse, och lefde hundrade och tio år.
Joseph [May he add] lived in Egypt [Abode of slavery], he, and his father’s house. Joseph [May he add] lived one hundred ten years.
23 Och såg Ephraims barn till tredje led: Föddes också barn på Josephs sköte, utaf Machirs barnom, hvilken Manasse son var.
Joseph [May he add] saw Ephraim [Fruit]’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh [Causing to forget], were born on Joseph [May he add]’s knees.
24 Och Joseph sade till sina bröder: Jag dör, och Gud varder eder sökandes, och förandes utaf detta landet, in uti det landet, som han hafver svorit Abraham, Isaac och Jacob.
Joseph [May he add] 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 [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter].”
25 Derföre tog han en ed af Israels barnom, och sade: När Gud varder eder sökandes, så förer min ben hädan.
Joseph [May he add] took an oath of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
26 Så dödde Joseph, då han var hundrade och tio år gammal. Och de smorde honom, och lade honom uti ena kisto i Egypten.
So Joseph [May he add] died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt [Abode of slavery].
