SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 فوقع يوسف على وجه ابيه وبكى عليه وقبّله.	1 At this Joseph threw himself on his father's face, covering it with tears and kisses.
2 وامر يوسف عبيده الاطباء ان يحنطوا اباه. فحنط الاطباء اسرائيل.	2 Then Joseph ordered the doctors in his service to embalm his father. The doctors embalmed Israel,
3 وكمل له اربعون يوما. لانه هكذا تكمل ايام المحنطين وبكى عليه المصريون سبعين يوما.	3 and it took them forty days, for embalming takes forty days to complete. The Egyptians mourned himfor 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 When the period of mourning for him was over, Joseph said to Pharaoh's household, 'If you have anyaffection for me, see that this message reaches Pharaoh's ears,
5 ابي استحلفني قائلا ها انا اموت. في قبري الذي حفرت لنفسي في ارض كنعان هناك تدفنني. فالآن أصعد لادفن ابي وارجع.	5 "My father put me under oath, saying: I am about to die. In the tomb which I dug for myself in Canaan, that is where you are to bury me. So may I have leave to go up and bury my father, and then come back?" '
6 فقال فرعون اصعد وادفن اباك كما استحلفك	6 Pharaoh replied, 'Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.'
7 فصعد يوسف ليدفن اباه. وصعد معه جميع عبيد فرعون شيوخ بيته وجميع شيوخ ارض مصر	7 Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went all Pharaoh's officials, the dignitaries of hispalace and al the dignitaries of Egypt,
8 وكل بيت يوسف واخوته وبيت ابيه. غير انهم تركوا اولادهم وغنمهم وبقرهم في ارض جاسان.	8 as wel as all Joseph's family, his brothers and his father's family. The only people they left behind inGoshen were those unfit to travel, and their flocks and cattle.
9 وصعد معه مركبات وفرسان. فكان الجيش كثيرا جدا.	9 Chariots and horsemen went up with him too; it was a very large retinue.
10 فأتوا الى بيدر أطاد الذي في عبر الاردن وناحوا هناك نوحا عظيما وشديدا جدا. وصنع لابيه مناحة سبعة ايام.	10 On arriving at Goren-ha-Atad, which is across the Jordan, they there held a long and solemnlamentation, and Joseph observed seven days' mourning for his father.
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 When the Canaanites, the local inhabitants, witnessed the mourning at Goren-ha-Atad, they said,'This is a solemn act of mourning by the Egyptians,' which is why the place was given the name Abel-Mizraim-itis across the Jordan.
12 وفعل له بنوه هكذا كما اوصاهم.	12 His sons did what he had ordered them to do for him.
13 حمله بنوه الى ارض كنعان ودفنوه في مغارة حقل المكفيلة التي اشتراها ابراهيم مع الحقل ملك قبر من عفرون الحثي امام ممرا	13 His sons carried him to Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field at Machpelah, facing Mamre,which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site of his own.
14 ثم رجع يوسف الى مصر هو واخوته وجميع الذين صعدوا معه لدفن ابيه بعدما دفن اباه.	14 Then Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all those who had come up with him to bury hisfather.
15 ولما رأى اخوة يوسف ان اباهم قد مات قالوا لعل يوسف يضطهدنا ويرد علينا جميع الشر الذي صنعنا به.	15 Seeing that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers said, 'What if Joseph intends to treat us asenemies and pay us back for al the wrong we did him?'
16 فاوصوا الى يوسف قائلين ابوك اوصى قبل موته قائلا.	16 So they sent this message to Joseph: 'Before your father died, he gave us this order:
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 "You are to say to Joseph: Now please forgive the crime and faults of your brothers and al thewrong they did you." So now please forgive the crime of the servants of your father's God.' Joseph wept at themessage they sent to him.
18 وأتى اخوته ايضا ووقعوا امامه وقالوا ها نحن عبيدك.	18 Then his brothers went to him themselves and, throwing themselves at his feet, said, 'Take us asyour slaves!'
19 فقال لهم يوسف لا تخافوا. لانه هل انا مكان الله.	19 But Joseph replied, 'Do not be afraid; is it for me to put myself in God's place?
20 انتم قصدتم لي شرا. اما الله فقصد به خيرا لكي يفعل كما اليوم. ليحيي شعبا كثيرا.	20 The evil you planned to do me has by God's design been turned to good, to bring about the presentresult: the survival of a numerous people.
21 فالآن لا تخافوا. انا اعولكم واولادكم. فعزّاهم وطيب قلوبهم	21 So there is no need to be afraid; I shall provide for you and your dependants.' In this way hereassured them by speaking affectionately to them.
22 وسكن يوسف في مصر هو وبيت ابيه. وعاش يوسف مئة وعشر سنين.	22 So Joseph stayed in Egypt with his father's family; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
23 ورأى يوسف لافرايم اولاد الجيل الثالث. واولاد ماكير بن منسّى ايضا ولدوا على ركبتيّ يوسف.	23 Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim's line, as also the children of Machir son of Manasseh,who were born on Joseph's lap.
24 وقال يوسف لاخوته انا اموت. ولكن الله سيفتقدكم ويصعدكم من هذه الارض الى الارض التي حلف لابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب.	24 At length Joseph said to his brothers, 'I am about to die; but God wil be sure to remember you kindlyand take you out of this country to the country which he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.'
25 واستحلف يوسف بني اسرائيل قائلا الله سيفتقدكم. فتصعدون عظامي من هنا.	25 And Joseph put Israel's sons on oath, saying, 'When God remembers you with kindness, be sure totake my bones away from here.'
26 ثم مات يوسف وهو ابن مئة وعشر سنين. فحنطوه ووضع في تابوت في مصر	26 Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten; he was embalmed and laid in a coffin in Egypt.
