Genesis 50

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Joseph threw himself on his father's face and wept over him as he kissed him.	1 فوقع يوسف على وجه ابيه وبكى عليه وقبّله.
2 Then he ordered the physicians in his service to embalm his father. When they embalmed Israel,	2 وامر يوسف عبيده الاطباء ان يحنطوا اباه. فحنط الاطباء اسرائيل.
3 they spent forty days at it, for that is the full period of embalming; and the Egyptians mourned him for seventy days.	3 وكمل له اربعون يوما. لانه هكذا تكمل ايام المحنطين وبكى عليه المصريون سبعين يوما.
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 وبعدما مضت ايام بكائه كلم يوسف بيت فرعون قائلا ان كنت قد وجدت نعمة في عيونكم فتكلموا في مسامع فرعون قائلين.
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 ابي استحلفني قائلا ها انا اموت. في قبري الذي حفرت لنفسي في ارض كنعان هناك تدفنني. فالآن أصعد لادفن ابي وارجع.
6 Pharaoh replied, "Go and bury your father, as he made you promise on oath."	6 فقال فرعون اصعد وادفن اباك كما استحلفك
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 فصعد يوسف ليدفن اباه. وصعد معه جميع عبيد فرعون شيوخ بيته وجميع شيوخ ارض مصر
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 وكل بيت يوسف واخوته وبيت ابيه. غير انهم تركوا اولادهم وغنمهم وبقرهم في ارض جاسان.
9 Chariots, too, and charioteers went up with him; it was a very large retinue.	9 وصعد معه مركبات وفرسان. فكان الجيش كثيرا جدا.
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 فأتوا الى بيدر أطاد الذي في عبر الاردن وناحوا هناك نوحا عظيما وشديدا جدا. وصنع لابيه مناحة سبعة ايام.
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 فلما رأى اهل البلاد الكنعانيون المناحة في بيدر أطاد قالوا هذه مناحة ثقيلة للمصريين. لذلك دعي اسمه آبل مصرايم. الذي في عبر الاردن.
12 Thus Jacob's sons did for him as he had instructed them.	12 وفعل له بنوه هكذا كما اوصاهم.
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 حمله بنوه الى ارض كنعان ودفنوه في مغارة حقل المكفيلة التي اشتراها ابراهيم مع الحقل ملك قبر من عفرون الحثي امام ممرا
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 ثم رجع يوسف الى مصر هو واخوته وجميع الذين صعدوا معه لدفن ابيه بعدما دفن اباه.
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 ولما رأى اخوة يوسف ان اباهم قد مات قالوا لعل يوسف يضطهدنا ويرد علينا جميع الشر الذي صنعنا به.
16 So they approached Joseph and said: "Before your father died, he gave us these instructions:	16 فاوصوا الى يوسف قائلين ابوك اوصى قبل موته قائلا.
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 هكذا تقولون ليوسف آه اصفح عن ذنب اخوتك وخطيتهم فانهم صنعوا بك شرا. فالآن اصفح عن ذنب عبيد اله ابيك. فبكى يوسف حين كلموه.
18 Then his brothers proceeded to fling themselves down before him and said, "Let us be your slaves!"	18 وأتى اخوته ايضا ووقعوا امامه وقالوا ها نحن عبيدك.
19 But Joseph replied to them: "Have no fear. Can I take the place of God?	19 فقال لهم يوسف لا تخافوا. لانه هل انا مكان الله.
20 Even though you meant harm to me, God meant it for good, to achieve his present end, the survival of many people.	20 انتم قصدتم لي شرا. اما الله فقصد به خيرا لكي يفعل كما اليوم. ليحيي شعبا كثيرا.
21 Therefore have no fear. I will provide for you and for your children." By thus speaking kindly to them, he reassured them.	21 فالآن لا تخافوا. انا اعولكم واولادكم. فعزّاهم وطيب قلوبهم
22 Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived a hundred and ten years.	22 وسكن يوسف في مصر هو وبيت ابيه. وعاش يوسف مئة وعشر سنين.
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 ورأى يوسف لافرايم اولاد الجيل الثالث. واولاد ماكير بن منسّى ايضا ولدوا على ركبتيّ يوسف.
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 وقال يوسف لاخوته انا اموت. ولكن الله سيفتقدكم ويصعدكم من هذه الارض الى الارض التي حلف لابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب.
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 واستحلف يوسف بني اسرائيل قائلا الله سيفتقدكم. فتصعدون عظامي من هنا.
26 Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. He was embalmed and laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.	26 ثم مات يوسف وهو ابن مئة وعشر سنين. فحنطوه ووضع في تابوت في مصر
