1 فوقع يوسف على وجه ابيه وبكى عليه وقبّله. | 1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. |
2 وامر يوسف عبيده الاطباء ان يحنطوا اباه. فحنط الاطباء اسرائيل. | 2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. |
3 وكمل له اربعون يوما. لانه هكذا تكمل ايام المحنطين وبكى عليه المصريون سبعين يوما. | 3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten 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 when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, |
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 made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again. |
6 فقال فرعون اصعد وادفن اباك كما استحلفك | 6 And Pharaoh said, 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 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his 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 all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. |
9 وصعد معه مركبات وفرسان. فكان الجيش كثيرا جدا. | 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very 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 beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father 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 the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan. |
12 وفعل له بنوه هكذا كما اوصاهم. | 12 And his sons did unto him according as he 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 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. |
14 ثم رجع يوسف الى مصر هو واخوته وجميع الذين صعدوا معه لدفن ابيه بعدما دفن اباه. | 14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, 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 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him. |
16 فاوصوا الى يوسف قائلين ابوك اوصى قبل موته قائلا. | 16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, |
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 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. |
18 وأتى اخوته ايضا ووقعوا امامه وقالوا ها نحن عبيدك. | 18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. |
19 فقال لهم يوسف لا تخافوا. لانه هل انا مكان الله. | 19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? |
20 انتم قصدتم لي شرا. اما الله فقصد به خيرا لكي يفعل كما اليوم. ليحيي شعبا كثيرا. | 20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. |
21 فالآن لا تخافوا. انا اعولكم واولادكم. فعزّاهم وطيب قلوبهم | 21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them. |
22 وسكن يوسف في مصر هو وبيت ابيه. وعاش يوسف مئة وعشر سنين. | 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. |
23 ورأى يوسف لافرايم اولاد الجيل الثالث. واولاد ماكير بن منسّى ايضا ولدوا على ركبتيّ يوسف. | 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees. |
24 وقال يوسف لاخوته انا اموت. ولكن الله سيفتقدكم ويصعدكم من هذه الارض الى الارض التي حلف لابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب. | 24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. |
25 واستحلف يوسف بني اسرائيل قائلا الله سيفتقدكم. فتصعدون عظامي من هنا. | 25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. |
26 ثم مات يوسف وهو ابن مئة وعشر سنين. فحنطوه ووضع في تابوت في مصر | 26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. |
