1Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
1Tedaj se skloni Jožef na obličje očeta svojega, in jokal je nad njim in ga poljubljal.
2Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.
2In ukaže Jožef hlapcem svojim, zdravnikom, da naj z dišavami mazilijo njegovega očeta. In zdravniki so pomazilili z dišavami 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.
3In dopolnilo se mu je štirideset dni: v toliko namreč dneh se dovrši maziljenje z dišavami. In jokali so za njim Egipčani sedemdeset dni.
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,
4Ko so pa bili potekli dnevi jokanja za njim, ogovori Jožef dvor Faraonov, rekoč: Če sem res milost našel v vaših očeh, govorite, prosim, pred Faraonom tole:
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.’”
5Oče moj me je zavezal s prisego in rekel: Glej, skoraj umrem; v grobu mojem, ki sem si ga izkopal v deželi Kanaanski, tam me pokoplji. Zdaj torej dovoli, da grem gori in pokopljem očeta svojega, in potem se vrnem.
6Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”
6In reče Faraon: Idi gori in pokoplji očeta svojega, kakor te je zaprisegel.
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,
7Šel je torej Jožef gori pokopat očeta svojega, in ž njim so šli vsi služabniki Faraonovi, starejšine hiše njegove in vsi starejšine dežele Egiptovske,
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.
8tudi vsa hiša Jožefova in bratje njegovi in očeta njegovega rodbina; samo otročiče svoje in črede svoje in goveda svoja so pustili v deželi Gosenski.
9There went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.
9Šli so ž njim gori tudi vozovi in konjiki, tako da je bil izprevod silno velik.
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.
10Ko so pa prišli do Gumna divjih rož, ki je onkraj Jordana, so jokali tam z jokom velikim in silno hudim: napravil je namreč očetu svojemu žalovanje sedem dni.
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.
11Ko so torej videli tiste pokrajine prebivalci, Kanaanci, žalovanje na Gumnu divjih rož, so rekli: To je hudo žalovanje Egipčanov. Zato se je imenovalo ime tistega kraja Abel mizraim [T. j. žalovanje Egipčanov.], ki je onkraj Jordana.
12His sons did to him just as he commanded them,
12Storili so mu tedaj sinovi njegovi natanko, kakor jim je bil zapovedal,
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.
13in nesli so ga sinovi njegovi v deželo Kanaansko in so ga pokopali na njivi Makpeli v jami, ki jo je bil Abraham kupil ž njivo vred v groba posest od Efrona Hetejca, Mamri nasproti.
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.
14In ko je pokopal očeta svojega, se vrne Jožef v Egipt, on in bratje njegovi in vsi, kar jih je šlo ž njim pokopavat očeta njegovega.
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.”
15Ko so pa videli bratje njegovi, da je umrl njih oče, so govorili: Morda nas bo sovražil Jožef in nam dočista povrnil vse hudo, kar smo mu storili.
16They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,
16Zato pošljejo k Jožefu in reko: Oče tvoj je zapovedal pred smrtjo, veleč:
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.
17Tako recite Jožefu: Ah, odpusti, prosim, prestopek bratov svojih in njih greh, da so ti hudo storili. Odpusti torej zdaj, prosimo, prestopek hlapcem Boga očeta svojega. Jožef pa se je jokal, ko so oni govoril ž njim.
18His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
18Nato pristopijo tudi bratje njegovi ter padejo pred obličje njegovo in reko: Glej, tvoji smo hlapci!
19Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
19Jožef pa jim reče: Ne bojte se; kajti sem li jaz na mestu Božjem?
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.
20Vi ste res hudo nameravali zoper mene, a Bog je obrnil v dobro, da je storil, kakor je danes, in ohranil v življenju mnogo ljudstva.
21Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
21Sedaj torej se ne bojte: jaz bom živil vas in otroke vaše. Tako jih je tolažil in govoril, da jim je seglo v srce.
22Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
22In prebival je Jožef v Egiptu, on in hiša njegovega očeta; in živel je Jožef sto in deset let.
23Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.
23In videl je Jožef Efraimove otroke do tretjega rodu; tudi sinovi Mahirja, sina Manasejevega, so se rodili Jožefu na kolenih.
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.”
24In Jožef reče bratom svojim: Skoraj umrem, Bog pa vas gotovo obišče in dá, da pojdete gori iz te dežele v deželo, ki jo je s prisego obljubil Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu.
25Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
25In Jožef zapriseže sinove Izraelove, rekoč: Gotovo vas obišče Bog, odnesite potem kosti moje odtod.Nato umre Jožef, star sto in deset let; in ko so ga pomazilili z dišavami, je bil položen v rakev v Egiptu.
26So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
26Nato umre Jožef, star sto in deset let; in ko so ga pomazilili z dišavami, je bil položen v rakev v Egiptu.
