ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 50

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και επεσεν ο Ιωσηφ επι το προσωπον του πατρος αυτου και εκλαυσεν επ' αυτον και εφιλησεν αυτον.	1 Joseph threw himself on his father's face and wept over him as he kissed him.
2 Και προσεταξεν ο Ιωσηφ τους δουλους αυτου τους ιατρους να βαλσαμωσωσι τον πατερα αυτου? και εβαλσαμωσαν οι ιατροι τον Ισραηλ.	2 Then he ordered the physicians in his service to embalm his father. When they embalmed Israel,
3 Και συνεπληρωθησαν δι' αυτον τεσσαρακοντα ημεραι? διοτι ουτω συμπληρουνται αι ημεραι της βαλσαμωσεως? και επενθησαν αυτον οι Αιγυπτιοι εβδομηκοντα ημερας.	3 they spent forty days at it, for that is the full period of embalming; and the Egyptians mourned him for seventy days.
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,	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.
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.	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?"
6 Και ειπεν ο Φαραω, Αναβηθι και θαψον τον πατερα σου καθως σε ωρκισε.	6 Pharaoh replied, "Go and bury your father, as he made you promise on oath."
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	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,
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.	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.
9 Και συνανεβησαν μετ' αυτου και αμαξαι και ιππεις? ωστε εγεινε συνοδια μεγαλη σφοδρα?	9 Chariots, too, and charioteers went up with him; it was a very large retinue.
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.	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.
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.	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.
12 Και εκαμον εις αυτον οι υιοι αυτου καθως παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους?	12 Thus Jacob's sons did for him as he had instructed them.
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.	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.
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.	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.
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.	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!"
16 Και εμηνυσαν προς τον Ιωσηφ, λεγοντες, Ο πατηρ σου προσεταξε, πριν αποθανη, λεγων,	16 So they approached Joseph and said: "Before your father died, he gave us these instructions:
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.	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.
18 Υπηγαν δε και οι αδελφοι αυτου και πεσοντες εμπροσθεν αυτου, ειπον, Ιδου, ημεις ειμεθα δουλοι σου.	18 Then his brothers proceeded to fling themselves down before him and said, "Let us be your slaves!"
19 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιωσηφ, Μη φοβεισθε? μηπως αντι Θεου ειμαι εγω;	19 But Joseph replied to them: "Have no fear. Can I take the place of God?
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?	20 Even though you meant harm to me, God meant it for good, to achieve his present end, the survival of many people.
21 τωρα λοιπον μη φοβεισθε? εγω θελω θρεψει εσας και τας οικογενειας σας. Και παρηγορησεν αυτους και ελαλησε κατα την καρδιαν αυτων.	21 Therefore have no fear. I will provide for you and for your children." By thus speaking kindly to them, he reassured them.
22 Και κατωκησεν ο Ιωσηφ εν Αιγυπτω, αυτος και ο οικος του πατρος αυτου? και εζησεν ο Ιωσηφ εκατον δεκα ετη.	22 Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived a hundred and ten years.
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.	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.
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.	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."
25 Και ωρκισεν ο Ιωσηφ τους υιους Ισραηλ, λεγων, Ο Θεος βεβαιως θελει σας επισκεφθη και θελετε αναβιβασει τα οστα μου εντευθεν.	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."
26 Και ετελευτησεν ο Ιωσηφ εν ηλικια ετων εκατον δεκα? και εβαλσαμωσαν αυτον? και ετεθη εις θηκην εν τη Αιγυπτω.	26 Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. He was embalmed and laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
