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

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

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

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

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.

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

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,

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,

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.’”

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.

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

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

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,

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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