| 1 και επιπεσων ιωσηφ επι το προσωπον του πατρος αυτου εκλαυσεν επ' αυτον και εφιλησεν αυτον | 1 Then Joseph fell on his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him. |
| 2 και προσεταξεν ιωσηφ τοις παισιν αυτου τοις ενταφιασταις ενταφιασαι τον πατερα αυτου και ενεταφιασαν οι ενταφιασται τον ισραηλ | 2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel; |
| 3 και επληρωσαν αυτου τεσσαρακοντα ημερας ουτως γαρ καταριθμουνται αι ημεραι της ταφης και επενθησεν αυτον αιγυπτος εβδομηκοντα ημερας | 3 forty days were required for it, for so many are required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days. |
| 4 επειδη δε παρηλθον αι ημεραι του πενθους ελαλησεν ιωσηφ προς τους δυναστας φαραω λεγων ει ευρον χαριν εναντιον υμων λαλησατε περι εμου εις τα ωτα φαραω λεγοντες | 4 And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, |
| 5 ο πατηρ μου ωρκισεν με λεγων εν τω μνημειω ω ωρυξα εμαυτω εν γη χανααν εκει με θαψεις νυν ουν αναβας θαψω τον πατερα μου και επανελευσομαι | 5 My father made me swear, saying, 'I am about to die: in my tomb which I hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me.' Now therefore let me go up, I pray you, and bury my father; then I will return." |
| 6 και ειπεν φαραω αναβηθι θαψον τον πατερα σου καθαπερ ωρκισεν σε | 6 And Pharaoh answered, "Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear." |
| 7 και ανεβη ιωσηφ θαψαι τον πατερα αυτου και συνανεβησαν μετ' αυτου παντες οι παιδες φαραω και οι πρεσβυτεροι του οικου αυτου και παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι της γης αιγυπτου | 7 So Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, |
| 8 και πασα η πανοικια ιωσηφ και οι αδελφοι αυτου και πασα η οικια η πατρικη αυτου και την συγγενειαν και τα προβατα και τους βοας υπελιποντο εν γη γεσεμ | 8 as well as all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household; only their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen. |
| 9 και συνανεβησαν μετ' αυτου και αρματα και ιππεις και εγενετο η παρεμβολη μεγαλη σφοδρα | 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; it was a very great company. |
| 10 και παρεγενοντο εφ' αλωνα αταδ ο εστιν περαν του ιορδανου και εκοψαντο αυτον κοπετον μεγαν και ισχυρον σφοδρα και εποιησεν το πενθος τω πατρι αυτου επτα ημερας | 10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and sorrowful lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days. |
| 11 και ειδον οι κατοικοι της γης χανααν το πενθος εν αλωνι αταδ και ειπαν πενθος μεγα τουτο εστιν τοις αιγυπτιοις δια τουτο εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου πενθος αιγυπτου ο εστιν περαν του ιορδανου | 11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians." Therefore the place was named Abel-mizraim; it is beyond the Jordan. |
| 12 και εποιησαν αυτω ουτως οι υιοι αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον εκει | 12 Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them; |
| 13 και ανελαβον αυτον οι υιοι αυτου εις γην χανααν και εθαψαν αυτον εις το σπηλαιον το διπλουν ο εκτησατο αβρααμ το σπηλαιον εν κτησει μνημειου παρα εφρων του χετταιου κατεναντι μαμβρη | 13 for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field at Mach-pelah, to the east of Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite, to possess as a burying place. |
| 14 και απεστρεψεν ιωσηφ εις αιγυπτον αυτος και οι αδελφοι αυτου και οι συναναβαντες θαψαι τον πατερα αυτου | 14 After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father. |
| 15 ιδοντες δε οι αδελφοι ιωσηφ οτι τεθνηκεν ο πατηρ αυτων ειπαν μηποτε μνησικακηση ημιν ιωσηφ και ανταποδομα ανταποδω ημιν παντα τα κακα α ενεδειξαμεθα αυτω | 15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil which we did to him." |
| 16 και παρεγενοντο προς ιωσηφ λεγοντες ο πατηρ σου ωρκισεν προ του τελευτησαι αυτον λεγων | 16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, |
| 17 ουτως ειπατε ιωσηφ αφες αυτοις την αδικιαν και την αμαρτιαν αυτων οτι πονηρα σοι ενεδειξαντο και νυν δεξαι την αδικιαν των θεραποντων του θεου του πατρος σου και εκλαυσεν ιωσηφ λαλουντων αυτων προς αυτον | 17 'Say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray you, the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.' And now, we pray you, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." Joseph wept when they spoke to him. |
| 18 και ελθοντες προς αυτον ειπαν οιδε ημεις σοι οικεται | 18 His brothers also came and fell down before him, and said, "Behold, we are your servants." |
| 19 και ειπεν αυτοις ιωσηφ μη φοβεισθε του γαρ θεου ειμι εγω | 19 But Joseph said to them, "Fear not, for am I in the place of God? |
| 20 υμεις εβουλευσασθε κατ' εμου εις πονηρα ο δε θεος εβουλευσατο περι εμου εις αγαθα οπως αν γενηθη ως σημερον ινα διατραφη λαος πολυς | 20 As for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. |
| 21 και ειπεν αυτοις μη φοβεισθε εγω διαθρεψω υμας και τας οικιας υμων και παρεκαλεσεν αυτους και ελαλησεν αυτων εις την καρδιαν | 21 So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones." Thus he reassured them and comforted them. |
| 22 και κατωκησεν ιωσηφ εν αιγυπτω αυτος και οι αδελφοι αυτου και πασα η πανοικια του πατρος αυτου και εζησεν ιωσηφ ετη εκατον δεκα | 22 So Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. |
| 23 και ειδεν ιωσηφ εφραιμ παιδια εως τριτης γενεας και υιοι μαχιρ του υιου μανασση ετεχθησαν επι μηρων ιωσηφ | 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph's knees. |
| 24 και ειπεν ιωσηφ τοις αδελφοις αυτου λεγων εγω αποθνησκω επισκοπη δε επισκεψεται υμας ο θεος και αναξει υμας εκ της γης ταυτης εις την γην ην ωμοσεν ο θεος τοις πατρασιν ημων αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ | 24 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die; but God will visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob." |
| 25 και ωρκισεν ιωσηφ τους υιους ισραηλ λεγων εν τη επισκοπη η επισκεψεται υμας ο θεος και συνανοισετε τα οστα μου εντευθεν μεθ' υμων | 25 Then Joseph took an oath of the sons of Israel, saying, "God will visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here." |
| 26 και ετελευτησεν ιωσηφ ετων εκατον δεκα και εθαψαν αυτον και εθηκαν εν τη σορω εν αιγυπτω . | 26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. |
