Genesis 50

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Joseph threw himself on his father's face and wept over him as he kissed him.	1 και επιπεσων ιωσηφ επι το προσωπον του πατρος αυτου εκλαυσεν επ' αυτον και εφιλησεν αυτον
2 Then he ordered the physicians in his service to embalm his father. When they embalmed Israel,	2 και προσεταξεν ιωσηφ τοις παισιν αυτου τοις ενταφιασταις ενταφιασαι τον πατερα αυτου και ενεταφιασαν οι ενταφιασται τον ισραηλ
3 they spent forty days at it, for that is the full period of embalming; and the Egyptians mourned him for seventy days.	3 και επληρωσαν αυτου τεσσαρακοντα ημερας ουτως γαρ καταριθμουνται αι ημεραι της ταφης και επενθησεν αυτον αιγυπτος εβδομηκοντα ημερας
4 When that period of mourning was over, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh's courtiers. "Please do me this favor," he said, "and convey to Pharaoh this request of mine.	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
5 Since my father, at the point of death, made me promise on oath to bury him in the tomb that he had prepared for himself in the land of Canaan, may I go up there to bury my father and then come back?"	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
6 Pharaoh replied, "Go and bury your father, as he made you promise on oath."	6 και ειπεν φαραω αναβηθι θαψον τον πατερα σου καθαπερ ωρκισεν σε
7 So Joseph left to bury his father; and with him went all of Pharaoh's officials who were senior members of his court and all the other dignitaries of Egypt,	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
8 as well as Joseph's whole household, his brothers, and his father's household; only their children and their flocks and herds were left in the region of Goshen.	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
9 Chariots, too, and charioteers went up with him; it was a very large retinue.	9 και συνανεβησαν μετ' αυτου και αρματα και ιππεις και εγενετο η παρεμβολη μεγαλη σφοδρα
10 When they arrived at Goren-ha-atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they held there a very great and solemn memorial service; and Joseph observed seven days of mourning for his father.	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
11 When the Canaanites who inhabited the land saw the mourning at Goren-ha-atad, they said, "This is a solemn funeral the Egyptians are having." That is why the place was named Abel-mizraim. It is beyond the Jordan.	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
12 Thus Jacob's sons did for him as he had instructed them.	12 και εποιησαν αυτω ουτως οι υιοι αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον εκει
13 They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, facing on Mamre, the field that Abraham had bought for a burial ground from Ephron the Hittite.	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
14 After Joseph had buried his father he returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all who had gone up with him for the burial of his father.	14 και απεστρεψεν ιωσηφ εις αιγυπτον αυτος και οι αδελφοι αυτου και οι συναναβαντες θαψαι τον πατερα αυτου
15 Now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became fearful and thought, "Suppose Joseph has been nursing a grudge against us and now plans to pay us back in full for all the wrong we did him!"	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
16 So they approached Joseph and said: "Before your father died, he gave us these instructions:	16 και παρεγενοντο προς ιωσηφ λεγοντες ο πατηρ σου ωρκισεν προ του τελευτησαι αυτον λεγων
17 'You shall say to Joseph, Jacob begs you to forgive the criminal wrongdoing of your brothers, who treated you so cruelly.' Please, therefore, forgive the crime that we, the servants of your father's God, committed." When they spoke these words to him, Joseph broke into tears.	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
18 Then his brothers proceeded to fling themselves down before him and said, "Let us be your slaves!"	18 και ελθοντες προς αυτον ειπαν οιδε ημεις σοι οικεται
19 But Joseph replied to them: "Have no fear. Can I take the place of God?	19 και ειπεν αυτοις ιωσηφ μη φοβεισθε του γαρ θεου ειμι εγω
20 Even though you meant harm to me, God meant it for good, to achieve his present end, the survival of many people.	20 υμεις εβουλευσασθε κατ' εμου εις πονηρα ο δε θεος εβουλευσατο περι εμου εις αγαθα οπως αν γενηθη ως σημερον ινα διατραφη λαος πολυς
21 Therefore have no fear. I will provide for you and for your children." By thus speaking kindly to them, he reassured them.	21 και ειπεν αυτοις μη φοβεισθε εγω διαθρεψω υμας και τας οικιας υμων και παρεκαλεσεν αυτους και ελαλησεν αυτων εις την καρδιαν
22 Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived a hundred and ten years.	22 και κατωκησεν ιωσηφ εν αιγυπτω αυτος και οι αδελφοι αυτου και πασα η πανοικια του πατρος αυτου και εζησεν ιωσηφ ετη εκατον δεκα
23 He saw Ephraim's children to the third generation, and the children of Manasseh's son Machir were also born on Joseph's knees.	23 και ειδεν ιωσηφ εφραιμ παιδια εως τριτης γενεας και υιοι μαχιρ του υιου μανασση ετεχθησαν επι μηρων ιωσηφ
24 Joseph said to his brothers: "I am about to die. God will surely take care of you and lead you out of this land to the land that he promised on oath 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
25 Then, putting the sons of Israel under oath, he continued, "When God thus takes care of you, you must bring my bones up 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
26 Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. He was embalmed and 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 .
