¹And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

¹Tedaj se skloni Jožef na obličje očeta svojega, in jokal je nad njim in ga poljubljal.

²And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

²In ukaže Jožef hlapcem svojim, zdravnikom, da naj z dišavami mazilijo njegovega očeta. In zdravniki so pomazilili z dišavami Izraela.

³And 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.

³In dopolnilo se mu je štirideset dni: v toliko namreč dneh se dovrši maziljenje z dišavami. In jokali so za njim Egipčani sedemdeset dni.

⁴And 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,

⁴Ko so pa bili potekli dnevi jokanja za njim, ogovori Jožef dvor Faraonov, rekoč: Če sem res milost našel v vaših očeh, govorite, prosim, pred Faraonom tole:

⁵My 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.

⁵Oče moj me je zavezal s prisego in rekel: Glej, skoraj umrem; v grobu mojem, ki sem si ga izkopal v deželi Kanaanski, tam me pokoplji. Zdaj torej dovoli, da grem gori in pokopljem očeta svojega, in potem se vrnem.

⁶And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

⁶In reče Faraon: Idi gori in pokoplji očeta svojega, kakor te je zaprisegel.

⁷And 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,

⁷Šel je torej Jožef gori pokopat očeta svojega, in ž njim so šli vsi služabniki Faraonovi, starejšine hiše njegove in vsi starejšine dežele Egiptovske,

⁸And 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.

⁸tudi vsa hiša Jožefova in bratje njegovi in očeta njegovega rodbina; samo otročiče svoje in črede svoje in goveda svoja so pustili v deželi Gosenski.

⁹And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

⁹Šli so ž njim gori tudi vozovi in konjiki, tako da je bil izprevod silno velik.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Ko so pa prišli do Gumna divjih rož, ki je onkraj Jordana, so jokali tam z jokom velikim in silno hudim: napravil je namreč očetu svojemu žalovanje sedem dni.

¹¹And 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 Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

¹¹Ko so torej videli tiste pokrajine prebivalci, Kanaanci, žalovanje na Gumnu divjih rož, so rekli: To je hudo žalovanje Egipčanov. Zato se je imenovalo ime tistega kraja Abel mizraim [T. j. žalovanje Egipčanov.], ki je onkraj Jordana.

¹²And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

¹²Storili so mu tedaj sinovi njegovi natanko, kakor jim je bil zapovedal,

¹³For 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.

¹³in nesli so ga sinovi njegovi v deželo Kanaansko in so ga pokopali na njivi Makpeli v jami, ki jo je bil Abraham kupil ž njivo vred v groba posest od Efrona Hetejca, Mamri nasproti.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴In ko je pokopal očeta svojega, se vrne Jožef v Egipt, on in bratje njegovi in vsi, kar jih je šlo ž njim pokopavat očeta njegovega.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Ko so pa videli bratje njegovi, da je umrl njih oče, so govorili: Morda nas bo sovražil Jožef in nam dočista povrnil vse hudo, kar smo mu storili.

¹⁶And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

¹⁶Zato pošljejo k Jožefu in reko: Oče tvoj je zapovedal pred smrtjo, veleč:

¹⁷So 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.

¹⁷Tako recite Jožefu: Ah, odpusti, prosim, prestopek bratov svojih in njih greh, da so ti hudo storili. Odpusti torej zdaj, prosimo, prestopek hlapcem Boga očeta svojega. Jožef pa se je jokal, ko so oni govoril ž njim.

¹⁸And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

¹⁸Nato pristopijo tudi bratje njegovi ter padejo pred obličje njegovo in reko: Glej, tvoji smo hlapci!

¹⁹And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

¹⁹Jožef pa jim reče: Ne bojte se; kajti sem li jaz na mestu Božjem?

²⁰But 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.

²⁰Vi ste res hudo nameravali zoper mene, a Bog je obrnil v dobro, da je storil, kakor je danes, in ohranil v življenju mnogo ljudstva.

²¹Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

²¹Sedaj torej se ne bojte: jaz bom živil vas in otroke vaše. Tako jih je tolažil in govoril, da jim je seglo v srce.

²²And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

²²In prebival je Jožef v Egiptu, on in hiša njegovega očeta; in živel je Jožef sto in deset let.

²³And 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.

²³In videl je Jožef Efraimove otroke do tretjega rodu; tudi sinovi Mahirja, sina Manasejevega, so se rodili Jožefu na kolenih.

²⁴And 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.

²⁴In Jožef reče bratom svojim: Skoraj umrem, Bog pa vas gotovo obišče in dá, da pojdete gori iz te dežele v deželo, ki jo je s prisego obljubil Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu.

²⁵And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

²⁵In Jožef zapriseže sinove Izraelove, rekoč: Gotovo vas obišče Bog, odnesite potem kosti moje odtod.Nato umre Jožef, star sto in deset let; in ko so ga pomazilili z dišavami, je bil položen v rakev v Egiptu.

²⁶So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

²⁶Nato umre Jožef, star sto in deset let; in ko so ga pomazilili z dišavami, je bil položen v rakev v Egiptu.
