¹فوقع يوسف على وجه ابيه وبكى عليه وقبّله.

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

²وامر يوسف عبيده الاطباء ان يحنطوا اباه. فحنط الاطباء اسرائيل.

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

³وكمل له اربعون يوما. لانه هكذا تكمل ايام المحنطين وبكى عليه المصريون سبعين يوما.

³And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

⁴وبعدما مضت ايام بكائه كلم يوسف بيت فرعون قائلا ان كنت قد وجدت نعمة في عيونكم فتكلموا في مسامع فرعون قائلين.

⁴And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

⁵ابي استحلفني قائلا ها انا اموت. في قبري الذي حفرت لنفسي في ارض كنعان هناك تدفنني. فالآن أصعد لادفن ابي وارجع.

⁵My father made me swear, saying, Behold, I die; in my grave which I have dug myself in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. And now, let me go up, I pray thee, that I may bury my father; and I will come again.

⁶فقال فرعون اصعد وادفن اباك كما استحلفك

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

⁷فصعد يوسف ليدفن اباه. وصعد معه جميع عبيد فرعون شيوخ بيته وجميع شيوخ ارض مصر

⁷And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the bondmen of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

⁸وكل بيت يوسف واخوته وبيت ابيه. غير انهم تركوا اولادهم وغنمهم وبقرهم في ارض جاسان.

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.

⁹وصعد معه مركبات وفرسان. فكان الجيش كثيرا جدا.

⁹And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and the camp was very great.

¹⁰فأتوا الى بيدر أطاد الذي في عبر الاردن وناحوا هناك نوحا عظيما وشديدا جدا. وصنع لابيه مناحة سبعة ايام.

¹⁰And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan; and there they lamented with a great and very grievous lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father of seven days.

¹¹فلما رأى اهل البلاد الكنعانيون المناحة في بيدر أطاد قالوا هذه مناحة ثقيلة للمصريين. لذلك دعي اسمه آبل مصرايم. الذي في عبر الاردن.

¹¹And the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing-floor of Atad, and they said, This is a grievous mourning of the Egyptians. Therefore the name of it was called Abel-Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

¹²وفعل له بنوه هكذا كما اوصاهم.

¹²And his sons did to him according as he had commanded them;

¹³حمله بنوه الى ارض كنعان ودفنوه في مغارة حقل المكفيلة التي اشتراها ابراهيم مع الحقل ملك قبر من عفرون الحثي امام ممرا

¹³and his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah which Abraham had bought along with the field, for a possession of a sepulchre, of Ephron the Hittite, opposite to Mamre.

¹⁴ثم رجع يوسف الى مصر هو واخوته وجميع الذين صعدوا معه لدفن ابيه بعدما دفن اباه.

¹⁴And, after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all that had gone up with him to bury his father.

¹⁵ولما رأى اخوة يوسف ان اباهم قد مات قالوا لعل يوسف يضطهدنا ويرد علينا جميع الشر الذي صنعنا به.

¹⁵And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, If now Joseph should be hostile to us, and should indeed requite us all the evil that we did to him!

¹⁶فاوصوا الى يوسف قائلين ابوك اوصى قبل موته قائلا.

¹⁶And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,

¹⁷هكذا تقولون ليوسف آه اصفح عن ذنب اخوتك وخطيتهم فانهم صنعوا بك شرا. فالآن اصفح عن ذنب عبيد اله ابيك. فبكى يوسف حين كلموه.

¹⁷Thus shall ye speak to Joseph: Oh forgive, I pray thee, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin! for they did evil to thee. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

¹⁸وأتى اخوته ايضا ووقعوا امامه وقالوا ها نحن عبيدك.

¹⁸And his brethren also went and fell down before his face, and said, Behold, we are thy bondmen.

¹⁹فقال لهم يوسف لا تخافوا. لانه هل انا مكان الله.

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

²⁰انتم قصدتم لي شرا. اما الله فقصد به خيرا لكي يفعل كما اليوم. ليحيي شعبا كثيرا.

²⁰Ye indeed meant evil against me: God meant it for good, in order that he might do as [it is] this day, to save a great people alive.

²¹فالآن لا تخافوا. انا اعولكم واولادكم. فعزّاهم وطيب قلوبهم

²¹And now, fear not: I will maintain you and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke consolingly to them.

²²وسكن يوسف في مصر هو وبيت ابيه. وعاش يوسف مئة وعشر سنين.

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

²³ورأى يوسف لافرايم اولاد الجيل الثالث. واولاد ماكير بن منسّى ايضا ولدوا على ركبتيّ يوسف.

²³And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third [generation]; the sons also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born on Joseph's knees.

²⁴وقال يوسف لاخوته انا اموت. ولكن الله سيفتقدكم ويصعدكم من هذه الارض الى الارض التي حلف لابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب.

²⁴And Joseph said to his brethren, I die; and God will certainly visit you, and bring you up out of this land, into the land that he swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

²⁵واستحلف يوسف بني اسرائيل قائلا الله سيفتقدكم. فتصعدون عظامي من هنا.

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

²⁶ثم مات يوسف وهو ابن مئة وعشر سنين. فحنطوه ووضع في تابوت في مصر

²⁶And Joseph died, a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him; and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
