Genesis 50

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Then Joseph fell on his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.	1 ܘܢܦ̣ܠ ܝܘܣܦ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ. ܘܒܟ̣ܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܢܫܩܗ.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel;	2 ܘܦܩ̇ܕ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܐ̈ܣܘܬܐ ܠܡܚܢܛ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ. ܘܚܢܛܘܗܝ ܐܣ̈ܘܬܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ.
3 forty days were required for it, for so many are required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.	3 ܘܡܠܝܘ ܠܗ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ. ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܫܠܡܝܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܚ̈ܢܝܛܐ. ܘܒܟܐܘܗܝ ܡܨܪ̈ܝܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ.
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,	4 ܘܥܒܪܘ ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܒܟܬܗ. ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܦܪܥܘܢ. ܐܢ ܐܫ̇ܟܚܬ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ. ܐܡܪܘ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܥܘܢ.
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."	5 ܐܒܝ ܐܘܡܝܢܝ ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܠܝ . ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܐ̇ܬ ܐܢܐ. ܒܩܒܪܝ ܕܙܒ̇ܢܬ ܠܝ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ ܬܡ̇ܢ ܬܩܒܪܢܝ. ܗܫܐ ܐܣܩ ܐܩܒܘܪ ܠܐܒܝ ܘܐܗܦܘܟ.
6 And Pharaoh answered, "Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear."	6 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܦܪܥܘܢ . ܣܩ ܘܩܒܘܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܘܡܝܟ.
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,	7 ܘܣܠ̣ܩ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܡܩܒܪ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ. ܘܣܠܩܘ ܥܡܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܦܪܥܘܢ ܘܣܒ̈ܐ ܕܒܝܬܗ. ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܣ̈ܒܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ.
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.	8 ܘܟܠܗ ܒܝܬ ܝܘܣܦ. ܘܐܚ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܣܠܩܘ ܥܡܗ . ܒܠܚܘܕ ܝܩܪܬܗܘܢ ܘܥܢܗܘܢ ܘܬܘܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܫܒܩܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܓܫܢ.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; it was a very great company.	9 ܘܣܠܩܘ ܥܡܗ ܐܦ ܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܘܦܪ̈ܫܐ . ܘܗܘܬ ܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܕܥܫܝܢܐ ܛܒ.
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.	10 ܘܐܬܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܕܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܛܪ ܕܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ. ܘܐܪܩܕܘ ܬܡ̇ܢ ܡܪܩܘܕܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܥܫܝܢܬܐ. ܘܥܒ̣ܕ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܒܝܬ ܒ̈ܟܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ.
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.	11 ܘܚܙܘ ܝ̈ܬܒܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܟܢܥܢ̈ܝܐ ܠܐܒܠܐ ܒܐܕܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܛܪ. ܘܐܡܪܘ ܐܒܠܐ ܗܘ ܪܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܡܨܪ̈ܝܐ. ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܩܪܘ ܫܡܗ ܐܒܠ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܕܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ.
12 Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them;	12 ܘܥܒ̣ܕܘ ܠܗ ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩ̇ܕ ܐܢܘܢ.
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.	13 ܘܫܩܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ. ܘܩܒܪܘܗܝ ܒܡܥܪܬܐ ܕܒܚܩܠܐ ܐܥܝܦܬܐ. ܕܙܒ̣ܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܚܩܠܐ ܠܝܘܪܬܢܐ ܕܩܒܪܐ. ܡܢ ܥܦܪܘܢ ܚܬܝܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܡܡܪܐ.
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.	14 ܘܗ̣ܦܟ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܗ̣ܘ ܘܐ̈ܚܘܗܝ. ܘܟܠ ܕܣܠܩܘ ܥܡܗ ܠܡܩܒܪ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ. ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܩܒ̣ܪ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ.
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."	15 ܚܙܘ ܐܚ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܣܦ ܕܡܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ . ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܗܪܢ ܝܘܣܦ. ܘܕܠܡܐ ܢܦܪܥܢ ܟܘܠܗ̇ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܢ ܠܗ.
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died,	16 ܘܦܩܕܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܘܣܦ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ. ܐܒܘܟ ܦܩ̇ܕ ܩܕܡ ܡܘܬܗ ܘܐܡ̣ܪ.
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.	17 ܗܟܢܐ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܝܘܣܦ. ܒܒܥܘ ܫܒܘܩ ܣܟܠܘܬܐ ܠܐܚ̈ܝܟ. ܘܠܚ̈ܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܕܥܒ̣ܕܘ ܠܟ ܒܝܫܬܐ. ܘܗܫܐ ܫܒܘܩ ܣܟܠܘܬܐ ܕܥܒ̈ܕܝ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܘܟ. ܘܒܟ̣ܐ ܝܘܣܦ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ.
18 His brothers also came and fell down before him, and said, "Behold, we are your servants."	18 ܘܐܙܠܘ ܐܦ ܐ̈ܚܘܗܝ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ. ܘܐܡܪܘ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܠܟ ܥܒ̈ܕܐ.
19 But Joseph said to them, "Fear not, for am I in the place of God?	19 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܣܦ. ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ. ܡܛܠ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܐ.
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.	20 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܬ̇ܚܫܒܬܘܢ ܥܠܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ. ܘܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܚܫܒܗ̇ ܠܛܒܬܐ . ܕܢܥܒܕ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܢܚ̣ܐ ܥܡܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ.
21 So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones." Thus he reassured them and comforted them.	21 ܘܗܫܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ. ܐܢܐ ܐܬܪܣܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܝܩܪܬܟܘܢ. ܘܒܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܠ̣ܐ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ.
22 So Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.	22 ܘܝܬ̣ܒ ܝܘܣܦ ܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܗ̣ܘ ܘܟܠܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ. ܘܚ̣ܝܐ ܝܘܣܦ ܡܐܐ ܘܥܣܪ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ.
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.	23 ܘܚ̣ܙܐ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܐܦܪܝܡ ܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܬܠܝܬ̈ܝܐ. ܐܦ ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܡܟܝܪ ܒܪ ܡܢܫܐ. ܐܬܝܠܕܘ ܥܠ ܒܘܪ̈ܟܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܣܦ.
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."	24 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܐ̈ܚܘܗܝ. ܐܢܐ ܡܐܬ ܐܢܐ. ܘܐܠܗܐ ܡܬܕܟܪܘ ܡܬܕܟܪ ܠܟܘܢ. ܘܡ̇ܣܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܕܐ. ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܡ̣ܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܠܐܝܣܚܩ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ.
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."	25 ܘܐܘܡܝ ܝܘܣܦ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ . ܡܬܕܟܪܘ ܡܬܕܟܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ. ܐܣܩܘ ܓܪ̈ܡܝ ܡܟܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ.
26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.	26 ܘܡܝܬ ܝܘܣܦ ܒܪ ܡܐܐ ܘܥܣܪ̈ ܫܢܝ̈ܢ. ܘܚܢܛܘܗܝ ܘܣܡܘܗܝ ܒܕܘܦܢܐ ܒܡܨܪܝܢ.
