Genesis 50

فَوَقَعَ يُوسُفُ عَلَى وَجْهِ أَبِيهِ وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَبَّلَهُ.

And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

وَأَمَرَ يُوسُفُ عَبِيدَهُ الأَطِبَّاءَ أَنْ يُحَنِّطُوا أَبَاهُ. فَحَنَّطَ الأَطِبَّاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

وَكَمُلَ لَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا، لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا تَكْمُلُ أَيَّامُ الْمُحَنَّطِينَ. وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ سَبْعِينَ يَوْمًا.

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.

وَبَعْدَ مَا مَضَتْ أَيَّامُ بُكَائِهِ كَلَّمَ يُوسُفُ بَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلاً: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عُيُونِكُمْ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي مَسَامِعِ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلِينَ:

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,

أَبِي اسْتَحْلَفَنِي قَائِلاً: هَا أَنَا أَمُوتُ. فِي قَبْرِيَ الَّذِي حَفَرْتُ لِنَفْسِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ هُنَاكَ تَدْفِنُنِي، فَالآنَ أَصْعَدُ لأَدْفِنَ أَبِي وَأَرْجِعُ».

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.

فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «اصْعَدْ وَادْفِنْ أَبَاكَ كَمَا اسْتَحْلَفَكَ».

And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

فَصَعِدَ يُوسُفُ لِيَدْفِنَ أَبَاهُ، وَصَعِدَ مَعَهُ جَمِيعُ عَبِيدِ فِرْعَوْنَ، شُيُوخُ بَيْتِهِ وَجَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ،

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,

وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا أَوْلاَدَهُمْ وَغَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ.

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.

وَصَعِدَ مَعَهُ مَرْكَبَاتٌ وَفُرْسَانٌ، فَكَانَ الْجَيْشُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا.

And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

فَأَتَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ الَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ وَنَاحُوا هُنَاكَ نَوْحًا عَظِيمًا وَشَدِيدًا جِدًّا، وَصَنَعَ لأَبِيهِ مَنَاحَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

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.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَهْلُ الْبِلاَدِ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ الْمَنَاحَةَ فِي بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ قَالُوا: «هذِهِ مَنَاحَةٌ ثَقِيلَةٌ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ». لِذلِكَ دُعِيَ اسْمُهُ «آبَلَ مِصْرَايِمَ». الَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

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.

وَفَعَلَ لَهُ بَنُوهُ هكَذَا كَمَا أَوْصَاهُمْ:

And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

حَمَلَهُ بَنُوهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ حَقْلِ الْمَكْفِيلَةِ، الَّتِي اشْتَرَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَعَ الْحَقْلِ مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ مِنْ عِفْرُونَ الْحِثِّيِ أَمَامَ مَمْرَا.

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.

ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يُوسُفُ إِلَى مِصْرَ هُوَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُ لِدَفْنِ أَبِيهِ بَعْدَ مَا دَفَنَ أَبَاهُ.

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.

وَلَمَّا رَأَى إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ، قَالُوا: «لَعَلَّ يُوسُفَ يَضْطَهِدُنَا وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعَ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي صَنَعْنَا بِهِ».

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.

فَأَوَصَوْا إِلَى يُوسُفَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَبُوكَ أَوْصَى قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

هكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِيُوسُفَ: آهِ! اصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ إِخْوَتِكَ وَخَطِيَّتِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ صَنَعُوا بِكَ شَرًّا. فَالآنَ اصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ عَبِيدِ إِلهِ أَبِيكَ». فَبَكَى يُوسُفُ حِينَ كَلَّمُوهُ.

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.

وَأَتَى إِخْوَتُهُ أَيْضًا وَوَقَعُوا أَمَامَهُ وَقَالُوا: «هَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدُكَ».

And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ: «لاَ تَخَافُوا. لأَنَّهُ هَلْ أَنَا مَكَانَ اللهِ؟

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

أَنْتُمْ قَصَدْتُمْ لِي شَرًّا، أَمَّا اللهُ فَقَصَدَ بِهِ خَيْرًا، لِكَيْ يَفْعَلَ كَمَا الْيَوْمَ، لِيُحْيِيَ شَعْبًا كَثِيرًا.

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.

فَالآنَ لاَ تَخَافُوا. أَنَا أَعُولُكُمْ وَأَوْلاَدَكُمْ». فَعَزَّاهُمْ وَطَيَّبَ قُلُوبَهُمْ.

Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

وَسَكَنَ يُوسُفُ فِي مِصْرَ هُوَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ، وَعَاشَ يُوسُفُ مِئَةً وَعَشَرَ سِنِينَ.

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

وَرَأَى يُوسُفُ لأَفْرَايِمَ أَوْلاَدَ الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ. وَأَوْلاَدُ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى أَيْضًا وُلِدُوا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْ يُوسُفَ.

And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.

وَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لإِخْوَتِهِ: «أَنَا أَمُوتُ، وَلكِنَّ اللهَ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ وَيُصْعِدُكُمْ مِنْ هذِهِ الأَرْضِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ».

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.

وَاسْتَحْلَفَ يُوسُفُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «اللهُ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ فَتُصْعِدُونَ عِظَامِي مِنْ هُنَا».

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.

ثُمَّ مَاتَ يُوسُفُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مِئَةٍ وَعَشَرِ سِنِينَ، فَحَنَّطُوهُ وَوُضِعَ فِي تَابُوتٍ فِي مِصْرَ.

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
