LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και επιπεσων ιωσηφ επι το προσωπον του πατρος αυτου εκλαυσεν επ' αυτον και εφιλησεν αυτον	1 Joseph, realizing this, fell upon his father’s face, weeping and kissing him.
2 και προσεταξεν ιωσηφ τοις παισιν αυτου τοις ενταφιασταις ενταφιασαι τον πατερα αυτου και ενεταφιασαν οι ενταφιασται τον ισραηλ	2 And he instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.
3 και επληρωσαν αυτου τεσσαρακοντα ημερας ουτως γαρ καταριθμουνται αι ημεραι της ταφης και επενθησεν αυτον αιγυπτος εβδομηκοντα ημερας	3 And while they were fulfilling his orders, forty days passed. For this was the method of embalming dead bodies. And Egypt wept for him for 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 time for mourning was fulfilled, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharaoh: “If I have found favor in your sight, speak to the ears of Pharaoh.
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 For my father made me swear, saying: ‘See, I am dying. You shall bury me in my sepulcher which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Therefore, I shall go up and bury my father, and then return.”
6 και ειπεν φαραω αναβηθι θαψον τον πατερα σου καθαπερ ωρκισεν σε	6 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just 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 as he went up, all the elders of the house of Pharaoh went with him, along with every patriarch in 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 and the house of Joseph with his brothers, except their little ones and flocks and also the herds, which they left behind in the land of Goshen.
9 και συνανεβησαν μετ' αυτου και αρματα και ιππεις και εγενετο η παρεμβολη μεγαλη σφοδρα	9 Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.
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 And they arrived at the threshing place of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan. There they spent seven full days celebrating the funeral rites with a great and vehement lamentation.
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 And when the inhabitants of the land of Canaan had seen this, they said, “This is a great Lamentation for the Egyptians.” And for this reason, the name of that place was called, “The Lamentation of Egypt.”
12 και εποιησαν αυτω ουτως οι υιοι αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον εκει	12 And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed 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 And carrying him into the land of Canaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial, opposite Mamre.
14 και απεστρεψεν ιωσηφ εις αιγυπτον αυτος και οι αδελφοι αυτου και οι συναναβαντες θαψαι τον πατερα αυτου	14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brothers and all those of his company, having buried 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 Now that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that 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 him, saying: “Your father instructed us 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 that we should say these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
18 και ελθοντες προς αυτον ειπαν οιδε ημεις σοι οικεται	18 And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
19 και ειπεν αυτοις ιωσηφ μη φοβεισθε του γαρ θεου ειμι εγω	19 And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will 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 You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
21 και ειπεν αυτοις μη φοβεισθε εγω διαθρεψω υμας και τας οικιας υμων και παρεκαλεσεν αυτους και ελαλησεν αυτων εις την καρδιαν	21 Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
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 And he lived in Egypt with all his father’s house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years. And he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto Joseph’s knees.
23 και ειδεν ιωσηφ εφραιμ παιδια εως τριτης γενεας και υιοι μαχιρ του υιου μανασση ετεχθησαν επι μηρων ιωσηφ	23 After these things happened, he said to his brothers: “God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
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 when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”
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 he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
26 και ετελευτησεν ιωσηφ ετων εκατον δεκα και εθαψαν αυτον και εθηκαν εν τη σορω εν αιγυπτω .
