¹Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.

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

²Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.

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

³Forty days were fulfilled for him, for that is how many the days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for him for seventy days.

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

⁴When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

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:

⁵‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”

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.'

⁶Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”

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

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

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

⁸all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

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

⁹There went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.

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

¹⁰They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.

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.

¹¹When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

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.

¹²His sons did to him just as he commanded them,

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

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 burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

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

¹⁴Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

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.

¹⁵When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all of the evil which we did to him.”

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?'

¹⁶They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,

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

¹⁷‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

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.

¹⁸His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

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

¹⁹Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

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

²⁰As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.

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

²¹Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

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

²²Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

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

²³Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.

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

²⁴Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

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!'

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

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

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

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