¹Vtedy padol Jozef na tvár svojho otca a plakal nad ním a bozkával ho.

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

²A Jozef rozkázal svojim sluhom lekárom, aby nabalzamovali jeho otca, a lekári nabalzamovali Izraela.

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

³A tak sa mu vyplnilo štyridsať dní, lebo tak sa vyplňujú dni balzamovaných. A Egypťania ho oplakávali sedemdesiat dní.

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.

⁴A keď sa pominuly dni jeho plaču, hovoril Jozef domu faraonovmu a riekol: Ak som našiel milosť vo vašich očiach, hovorte, prosím, faraonovi a povedzte,

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,

⁵že môj otec ma zaviazal prísahou povediac: Hľa, ja už zomriem. Do môjho hrobu, ktorý som si vykopal v Kananejskej zemi, tam ma pochovaj! Nech tedy teraz, prosím, odídem ta hore a pochovám svojho otca a zase sa navrátim.

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.

⁶A faraon povedal: Iď hore a pochovaj svojho otca tak, ako ťa zaviazal prísahou.

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

⁷A tak odišiel Jozef hore, aby pochoval svojho otca, a išli s ním aj všetci služobníci faraonovi, starší jeho domu a všetci starší Egyptskej zeme

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,

⁸i celý dom Jozefov i jeho bratia i dom jeho otca, len ich drobné deti a ich drobné stádo a ich hovädzí statok zanechali v zemi Gózena.

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.

⁹A išly s ním aj vozy i jazdcovia, takže to bol tábor veľmi veliký.

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

¹⁰A prišli až k humnu Atád, ktoré je za Jordánom, a nariekali tam veľkým nárekom a veľmi žalostným, a učinil svojmu otcovi smútok, ktorý trval sedem dní.

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.

¹¹A keď videli obyvatelia zeme, Kananeji, smútok na humne Atáde, riekli: Toto majú Egypťania ťažký smútok. Preto nazvali jeho meno Ábel-micraim, ktorý je za Jordánom.

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.

¹²A jeho synovia mu vykonali tak, ako im prikázal,

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

¹³totiž jeho synovia ho zaniesli do Kananejskej zeme a pochovali ho v jaskyni na poli Machpela, ktorú kúpil Abrahám i s tým poľom za vlastníctvo na pohrabište od Efrona Hetejského, naproti Mamremu.

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.

¹⁴Potom sa navrátil Jozef do Egypta, on i jeho bratia i všetci, ktorí boli odišli s ním ta hore pochovať jeho otca, keď už tedy bol pochoval svojho otca.

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.

¹⁵A keď videli bratia Jozefovi, že ich otec zomrel, povedali: Čo ak bude teraz Jozef útočiť na nás? A dozaista nám odplatí všetko to zlé, ktoré sme mu vykonali.

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!

¹⁶Preto prikázali povedať Jozefovi: Tvoj otec prikázal pred svojou smrťou a povedal:

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

¹⁷Takto poviete Jozefovi: Odpusti, prosím, prestúpenie svojim bratom a ich hriech, lebo ti učinili zlé. A tak teraz odpusti, prosím, prestúpenie služobníkov Boha tvojho otca. Vtedy sa rozplakal Jozef, keď mu tak hovorili.

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.

¹⁸A prišli aj jeho bratia a padli pred ním a vraveli: Hľa, sme tvojimi služobníkmi.

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

¹⁹Ale Jozef im povedal: Nebojte sa, lebo veď či som ja na mieste Boha?

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

²⁰Vy ste zamýšľali proti mne zlé, ale Bôh to zamýšľal obrátiť na dobré, aby učinil tak, ako je to dnes, aby zachoval mnohý ľud pri živote.

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.

²¹A tak teraz nebojte sa. Ja vás budem zaopatrovať potravou i vaše drobné deti. A tešil ich a hovoril k ich srdcu.

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

²²A tak býval Jozef v Egypte, on i dom jeho otca. A Jozef žil sto desať rokov.

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

²³A Jozef videl Efraimových synov až tretie pokolenie. I synovia Machíra, syna Manassesovho, zrodili sa na kolená Jozefove.

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.

²⁴A Jozef riekol svojim bratom: Ja už zomriem, ale Bôh vás istotne navštívi a vyvedie vás z tejto zeme hore do zeme, ktorú prísahou zasľúbil Abrahámovi, Izákovi a Jakobovi.

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.

²⁵A Jozef zaviazal synov Izraelových prísahou a riekol: Bôh vás istotne navštívi, a vtedy vynesiete moje kosti odtiaľto.

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

²⁶A Jozef zomrel, keď mu bolo sto desať rokov, a nabalzamovali ho, a bol vložený do rakvi v Egypte.

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