¹Siis Joosep langes oma isa palge vastu, nuttis tema kohal ja suudles teda.

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

²Ja Joosep käskis oma teenistuses olevaid arste tema isa palsameerida; ja arstid palsameerisid Iisraeli.

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

³Selleks kulus nelikümmend päeva, sest nii palju päevi kulub palsameerimiseks; ja egiptlased nutsid teda seitsekümmend päeva.

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.

⁴Kui tema nutupäevad olid möödunud, siis Joosep rääkis vaarao hoovkonnaga, öeldes: 'Kui ma nüüd teie silmis olen armu leidnud, siis rääkige vaarao kõrva ees ja öelge:

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,

⁵Minu isa laskis mind vanduda, öeldes: Vaata, ma suren. Mata mind mu hauda, mille ma enesele olen kaevanud Kaananimaal! Ma tahaksin nüüd minna, oma isa matta ja siis tagasi tulla.'

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.

⁶Ja vaarao ütles: 'Mine ja mata oma isa, nõnda nagu ta sind on lasknud vanduda!'

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

⁷Ja Joosep läks oma isa matma; ja temaga koos läksid kõik vaarao sulased, tema hoovkonna vanemad ja kõik Egiptusemaa vanemad,

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,

⁸ja kogu Joosepi pere ja tema vennad ja ta isa pere; ainult oma väetid lapsed ja lambad, kitsed ja veised jätsid nad Gooseni maakonda.

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.

⁹Ja temaga koos läksid niihästi vankrid kui ratsanikud, ja see oli väga suur karavan.

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

¹⁰Kui nad jõudsid Atadi rehealuse juurde, mis on teisel pool Jordanit, siis nad panid seal toime väga suure ja mõjuva leinakaebuse, ja ta pidas oma isa peiesid seitse päeva.

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.

¹¹Kui maa elanikud, kaananlased, nägid neid peiesid Atadi rehealuse juures, siis nad ütlesid: 'Need on egiptlastel suured peied.' Seepärast pandi sellele paigale nimeks Aabel-Mitsraim; see on teisel pool Jordanit.

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.

¹²Ja ta pojad tegid temaga nõnda, nagu ta neid oli käskinud:

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

¹³ta pojad viisid tema Kaananimaale ja matsid ta Makpela välja koopasse Mamre kohal, mille Aabraham koos väljaga oli ostnud pärandhauaks hett Efronilt.

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.

¹⁴Ja Joosep läks tagasi Egiptusesse, tema ja ta vennad ja kõik, kes koos temaga olid läinud ta isa matma, pärast seda kui ta oma isa oli matnud.

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.

¹⁵Kui Joosepi vennad nägid, et nende isa oli surnud, siis nad ütlesid: 'Kui Joosep meid nüüd vihkab ja tõesti tasub meile kätte kõige kurja eest, mis me temale oleme teinud?'

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!

¹⁶Ja nad käskisid Joosepile öelda: 'Su isa andis käsu, enne kui ta suri, ja ütles:

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

¹⁷Öelge Joosepile nõnda: Anna ometi andeks oma vendade üleastumine ja patt, et nad sulle on kurja teinud! Seepärast anna siis nüüd andeks oma isa Jumala sulaste üleastumine!' Ja Joosep nuttis, kui temale seda räägiti.

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.

¹⁸Siis tulid ka Joosepi vennad ise, heitsid maha ta ette ja ütlesid: 'Vaata, me jääme sulle orjadeks!'

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

¹⁹Aga Joosep vastas neile: 'Ärge kartke! Kas mina olen Jumala asemik?

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

²⁰Te mõtlesite küll mu vastu kurja, aga Jumal pööras selle heaks, et teha, mis tänapäeval ongi tehtud: hoida palju rahvast elus.

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.

²¹Ja nüüd ärge kartke, mina toidan teid ja teie väeteid lapsi!' Ja ta trööstis ning rahustas neid.

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

²²Ja Joosep jäi Egiptusesse, tema ja ta isa pere. Ja Joosep elas saja kümne aastaseks.

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

²³Ja Joosep nägi Efraimi lapsi kolm põlve; ka Manasse pojast Maakirist sündis lapsi Joosepi põlvede peale.

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.

²⁴Ja Joosep ütles oma vendadele: 'Mina suren, aga Jumal hoolitseb kindlasti teie eest ja viib teid siit maalt sellele maale, mille ta vandega on tõotanud anda Aabrahamile, Iisakile ja Jaakobile!'

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.

²⁵Ja Joosep vannutas Iisraeli poegi, öeldes: 'Kui Jumal tõesti hoolitseb teie eest, siis viige ka minu luud siit ära!'

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

²⁶Ja Joosep suri, sada kümme aastat vana, ja ta palsameeriti ja pandi kirstu Egiptuses.

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