Genesi (تكوين) 50

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 فوقع يوسف على وجه ابيه وبكى عليه وقبّله.	1 And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father's face weeping and kissing him.
2 وامر يوسف عبيده الاطباء ان يحنطوا اباه. فحنط الاطباء اسرائيل.	2 And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
3 وكمل له اربعون يوما. لانه هكذا تكمل ايام المحنطين وبكى عليه المصريون سبعين يوما.	3 And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mounted for him seventy days.
4 وبعدما مضت ايام بكائه كلم يوسف بيت فرعون قائلا ان كنت قد وجدت نعمة في عيونكم فتكلموا في مسامع فرعون قائلين.	4 And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
5 ابي استحلفني قائلا ها انا اموت. في قبري الذي حفرت لنفسي في ارض كنعان هناك تدفنني. فالآن أصعد لادفن ابي وارجع.	5 For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
6 فقال فرعون اصعد وادفن اباك كما استحلفك	6 And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
7 فصعد يوسف ليدفن اباه. وصعد معه جميع عبيد فرعون شيوخ بيته وجميع شيوخ ارض مصر	7 So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao's house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 وكل بيت يوسف واخوته وبيت ابيه. غير انهم تركوا اولادهم وغنمهم وبقرهم في ارض جاسان.	8 And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
9 وصعد معه مركبات وفرسان. فكان الجيش كثيرا جدا.	9 He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was it great company.
10 فأتوا الى بيدر أطاد الذي في عبر الاردن وناحوا هناك نوحا عظيما وشديدا جدا. وصنع لابيه مناحة سبعة ايام.	10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full seven days.
11 فلما رأى اهل البلاد الكنعانيون المناحة في بيدر أطاد قالوا هذه مناحة ثقيلة للمصريين. لذلك دعي اسمه آبل مصرايم. الذي في عبر الاردن.	11 And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
12 وفعل له بنوه هكذا كما اوصاهم.	12 So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
13 حمله بنوه الى ارض كنعان ودفنوه في مغارة حقل المكفيلة التي اشتراها ابراهيم مع الحقل ملك قبر من عفرون الحثي امام ممرا	13 And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the held for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
14 ثم رجع يوسف الى مصر هو واخوته وجميع الذين صعدوا معه لدفن ابيه بعدما دفن اباه.	14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
15 ولما رأى اخوة يوسف ان اباهم قد مات قالوا لعل يوسف يضطهدنا ويرد علينا جميع الشر الذي صنعنا به.	15 Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another : Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.
16 فاوصوا الى يوسف قائلين ابوك اوصى قبل موته قائلا.	16 And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
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.	17 That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.
18 وأتى اخوته ايضا ووقعوا امامه وقالوا ها نحن عبيدك.	18 And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
19 فقال لهم يوسف لا تخافوا. لانه هل انا مكان الله.	19 And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
20 انتم قصدتم لي شرا. اما الله فقصد به خيرا لكي يفعل كما اليوم. ليحيي شعبا كثيرا.	20 You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.
21 فالآن لا تخافوا. انا اعولكم واولادكم. فعزّاهم وطيب قلوبهم	21 Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
22 وسكن يوسف في مصر هو وبيت ابيه. وعاش يوسف مئة وعشر سنين.	22 And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father's house: and lived a hundred and ten years. And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Ma-nasses were born on Joseph's knees.
23 ورأى يوسف لافرايم اولاد الجيل الثالث. واولاد ماكير بن منسّى ايضا ولدوا على ركبتيّ يوسف.	23 After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore 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.	24 And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, Carry my bones with you out of this place:
25 واستحلف يوسف بني اسرائيل قائلا الله سيفتقدكم. فتصعدون عظامي من هنا.	25 And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
26 ثم مات يوسف وهو ابن مئة وعشر سنين. فحنطوه ووضع في تابوت في مصر
