Genesis 50

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Joseph, realizing this, fell upon his father’s face, weeping and kissing him.	1 Και επεσεν ο Ιωσηφ επι το προσωπον του πατρος αυτου και εκλαυσεν επ' αυτον και εφιλησεν αυτον.
2 And he instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.	2 Και προσεταξεν ο Ιωσηφ τους δουλους αυτου τους ιατρους να βαλσαμωσωσι τον πατερα αυτου? και εβαλσαμωσαν οι ιατροι τον Ισραηλ.
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.	3 Και συνεπληρωθησαν δι' αυτον τεσσαρακοντα ημεραι? διοτι ουτω συμπληρουνται αι ημεραι της βαλσαμωσεως? και επενθησαν αυτον οι Αιγυπτιοι εβδομηκοντα ημερας.
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.	4 Αφου δε παρηλθον αι ημεραι του πενθους αυτου, ελαλησεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τον οικον του Φαραω, λεγων, Εαν τωρα ευρηκα χαριν ενωπιον σας, λαλησατε, παρακαλω, εις τα ωτα του Φαραω, λεγοντες,
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.”	5 Ο πατηρ μου με ωρκισε, λεγων, Ιδου, εγω αποθνησκω? εις το μνημειον μου, το οποιον εσκαψα εις εμαυτον εν γη Χανααν, εκει θελεις με θαψει? τωρα λοιπον ας αναβω, παρακαλω, και ας θαψω τον πατερα μου? και θελω επιστρεψει.
6 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just as he made you swear.”	6 Και ειπεν ο Φαραω, Αναβηθι και θαψον τον πατερα σου καθως σε ωρκισε.
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,	7 Και ανεβη ο Ιωσηφ δια να θαψη τον πατερα αυτου? και συνανεβησαν μετ' αυτου παντες οι δουλοι του Φαραω, οι πρεσβυτεροι του οικου αυτου, και παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι της γης Αιγυπτου
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.	8 και πας ο οικος του Ιωσηφ και οι αδελφοι αυτου και ο οικος του πατρος αυτου? μονον τας οικογενειας αυτων και τα ποιμνια αυτων και τας αγελας αυτων αφηκαν εν τη γη Γεσεν.
9 Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.	9 Και συνανεβησαν μετ' αυτου και αμαξαι και ιππεις? ωστε εγεινε συνοδια μεγαλη σφοδρα?
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.	10 και ηλθον εις το αλωνιον του Αταδ το περαν του Ιορδανου? και εκει εθρηνησαν θρηνον μεγαν και δυνατον σφοδρα? και εκαμεν ο Ιωσηφ δια τον πατερα αυτου πενθος επτα ημερας.
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.”	11 Και ιδοντες οι κατοικοι του τοπου, οι Χαναναιοι, το πενθος εν τω αλωνιω του Αταδ, ειπον, Πενθος μεγα ειναι τουτο εις τους Αιγυπτιους? δια τουτο ωνομασθη το ονομα αυτου Αβελ-μισραιμ, το οποιον ειναι περαν του Ιορδανου.
12 And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed them.	12 Και εκαμον εις αυτον οι υιοι αυτου καθως παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους?
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.	13 και μετακομισαντες αυτον οι υιοι αυτου εις γην Χανααν, εθαψαν αυτον εν τω σπηλαιω του αγρου Μαχπελαχ, το οποιον ο Αβρααμ ηγορασε μετα του αγρου δια κτημα μνημειου παρα του Εφρων του Χετταιου κατεναντι της Μαμβρη.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brothers and all those of his company, having buried his father.	14 Και αφου ο Ιωσηφ εθαψε τον πατερα αυτου, επεστρεψεν εις Αιγυπτον αυτος και οι αδελφοι αυτου και παντες οι συναναβαντες μετ' αυτου δια να θαψωσι τον πατερα αυτου.
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.”	15 Και ιδοντες οι αδελφοι του Ιωσηφ οτι απεθανεν ο πατηρ αυτων, ειπον, Ισως ο Ιωσηφ θελει μνησικακησει εις ημας και θελει μας ανταποδωσει αυστηρως παντα τα κακα οσα επραξαμεν εις αυτον.
16 So they sent a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed us before he died,	16 Και εμηνυσαν προς τον Ιωσηφ, λεγοντες, Ο πατηρ σου προσεταξε, πριν αποθανη, λεγων,
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.	17 Ουτω θελετε ειπει προς τον Ιωσηφ? Συγχωρησον, παρακαλω, την αδικιαν των αδελφων σου και την αμαρτιαν αυτων? διοτι επραξαν κακον εις σε? τωρα λοιπον συγχωρησον, παρακαλουμεν, την αδικιαν των δουλων του Θεου του πατρος σου. Και εκλαυσεν ο Ιωσηφ οτε ελαλησαν προς αυτον.
18 And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”	18 Υπηγαν δε και οι αδελφοι αυτου και πεσοντες εμπροσθεν αυτου, ειπον, Ιδου, ημεις ειμεθα δουλοι σου.
19 And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will of God?	19 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιωσηφ, Μη φοβεισθε? μηπως αντι Θεου ειμαι εγω;
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.	20 σεις μεν εβουλευθητε κακον εναντιον μου? ο δε Θεος εβουλευθη να μεταστρεψη τουτο εις καλον, δια να γεινη καθως την σημερον, ωστε να σωση την ζωην πολλου λαου?
21 Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.	21 τωρα λοιπον μη φοβεισθε? εγω θελω θρεψει εσας και τας οικογενειας σας. Και παρηγορησεν αυτους και ελαλησε κατα την καρδιαν αυτων.
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.	22 Και κατωκησεν ο Ιωσηφ εν Αιγυπτω, αυτος και ο οικος του πατρος αυτου? και εζησεν ο Ιωσηφ εκατον δεκα ετη.
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.”	23 Και ειδεν ο Ιωσηφ τεκνα του Εφραιμ, εως τριτης γενεας? και τα παιδια του Μαχειρ, υιου του Μανασση, επι των γονατων του Ιωσηφ εγεννηθησαν.
24 And when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”	24 Και ειπεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τους αδελφους αυτου, Εγω αποθνησκω? ο δε Θεος θελει βεβαιως σας επισκεφθη και θελει σας αναβιβασει εκ της γης ταυτης εις την γην, την οποιαν ωμοσε προς τον Αβρααμ, προς τον Ισαακ και προς τον Ιακωβ.
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.	25 Και ωρκισεν ο Ιωσηφ τους υιους Ισραηλ, λεγων, Ο Θεος βεβαιως θελει σας επισκεφθη και θελετε αναβιβασει τα οστα μου εντευθεν.
	26 Και ετελευτησεν ο Ιωσηφ εν ηλικια ετων εκατον δεκα? και εβαλσαμωσαν αυτον? και ετεθη εις θηκην εν τη Αιγυπτω.
