Génesis 50

Sepultura de Jacob
50 José se echó sobre el rostro de su padre, lloró sobre él y lo besó. 2 José ordenó a sus siervos médicos que embalsamaran a su padre, y los médicos embalsamaron a Israel(A). 3 Se requerían[a] cuarenta días para ello[b], porque este es el tiempo requerido para el embalsamamiento[c]. Y los egipcios lo lloraron setenta días(B).
4 Cuando pasaron los días de luto[d] por él, José habló a la casa de Faraón: «Si he hallado ahora gracia ante los ojos de ustedes, les ruego que hablen a[e] Faraón, diciendo: 5 “Mi padre me hizo jurar(C), diciendo: ‘Yo voy a morir. En el sepulcro que cavé para mí en la tierra de Canaán, allí me sepultarás(D)’. Ahora pues, le ruego que me permita ir a sepultar a mi padre, y luego volveré”». 6 Y Faraón dijo: «Sube y sepulta a tu padre como él te hizo jurar».
7 Entonces José subió a sepultar a su padre, y con él subieron todos los siervos de Faraón, los ancianos de su casa y todos los ancianos de la tierra de Egipto, 8 y toda la casa de José, y sus hermanos, y la casa de su padre. Solo dejaron a sus pequeños, sus ovejas y sus vacas en la tierra de Gosén. 9 Subieron también con él carros y jinetes; y era un cortejo[f] muy grande.
10 Cuando llegaron hasta la era de Atad[g], que está al otro lado del Jordán, allí hicieron duelo con una grande y dolorosa[h] lamentación(E). Y José guardó[i] siete días de duelo por su padre. 11 Cuando los habitantes de la tierra, los cananeos, vieron el duelo de la era de Atad[j], dijeron: «Este es un duelo doloroso[k] de los egipcios». Por eso llamaron al lugar Abel Mizrayim[l], el cual está al otro lado del Jordán.
12 Sus hijos, pues, hicieron con él tal como les había mandado. 13 Pues sus hijos lo llevaron a la tierra de Canaán, y lo sepultaron en la cueva del campo de Macpela, frente a Mamre, la cual Abraham había comprado de Efrón el hitita, junto con el campo como heredad de una sepultura(F). 14 Después de sepultar a su padre, José regresó a Egipto, él y sus hermanos, y todos los que habían subido con él para sepultar a su padre.
Muerte de José
15 Al ver los hermanos de José que su padre había muerto, dijeron: «Quizá José guarde rencor contra nosotros, y de cierto nos devuelva todo el mal que le hicimos(G)». 16 Entonces enviaron[m] un mensaje a José, diciendo: «Tu padre mandó a decir antes de morir: 17 “Así dirán a José: ‘Te ruego que perdones la maldad de tus hermanos y su pecado, porque ellos te trataron mal’”. Y ahora, te rogamos que perdones la maldad de los siervos del Dios de tu padre». Y José lloró cuando le hablaron.
18 Entonces sus hermanos vinieron también y se postraron delante de él(H), y dijeron: «Ahora somos tus siervos». 19 Pero José les dijo: «No teman, ¿acaso estoy yo en lugar de Dios? 20 Ustedes pensaron hacerme mal, pero Dios lo cambió en bien para que sucediera como vemos hoy, y se preservara la vida de mucha gente(I). 21 Ahora pues, no teman. Yo proveeré para ustedes y para sus hijos[n](J)». Y los consoló y les habló cariñosamente[o].
22 José se quedó en Egipto, él y la casa de su padre; y José vivió 110 años. 23 José vio la tercera generación de los hijos de Efraín; también los hijos de Maquir, hijo de Manasés, nacieron sobre las rodillas de José(K).
24 Y José dijo a sus hermanos: «Yo voy a morir, pero Dios ciertamente cuidará de ustedes[p] y los hará subir de esta tierra a la tierra que Él prometió en juramento[q](L) a Abraham(M), a Isaac(N) y a Jacob(O)». 25 Luego José hizo jurar a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: «Dios ciertamente los cuidará[r], y ustedes se llevarán mis huesos de aquí(P)».
26 Y murió José a la edad de 110 años. Lo embalsamaron(Q) y lo pusieron en un ataúd en Egipto.

Genesis 50
English Standard Version
50 Then Joseph (A)fell on his father's face and wept over him and kissed him. 2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to (B)embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel. 3 Forty days were required for it, for that is how many are required for embalming. And the Egyptians (C)wept for him seventy days.
4 And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, (D)“If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 5 ‘My father made me swear, saying, “I am about to die: in my tomb (E)that I hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me.” Now therefore, let me please go up and bury my father. Then I will return.’” 6 And Pharaoh answered, “Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear.” 7 So Joseph went up to bury his father. With him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 8 as well as all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their children, their flocks, and their herds were left (F)in the land of Goshen. 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company. 10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, (G)they lamented there with a very great and grievous lamentation, and he (H)made a mourning for his father seven days. 11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore the place was named Abel-mizraim;[a] it is beyond the Jordan. 12 Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them, 13 for (I)his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field at Machpelah, to the east of Mamre, which Abraham (J)bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite to possess as a burying place. 14 After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.
God's Good Purposes
15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him.” 16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this command before he died: 17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of (K)the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18 His brothers also came and (L)fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19 But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for (M)am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but (N)God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people[b] should be kept alive, as they are today. 21 So do not fear; (O)I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.
The Death of Joseph
22 So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his father's house. Joseph lived 110 years. 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children (P)of the third generation. The (Q)children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were (R)counted as Joseph's own.[c] 24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but (S)God will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land (T)that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25 Then (U)Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.” 26 So Joseph died, being 110 years old. They (V)embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

創世記 50
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
約瑟歸葬其父
50 約瑟伏在他父親的面上哀哭，與他親嘴。 2 約瑟吩咐伺候他的醫生用香料薰他父親，醫生就用香料薰了以色列。 3 薰屍的常例是四十天，那四十天滿了，埃及人為他哀哭了七十天。
4 為他哀哭的日子過了，約瑟對法老家中的人說：「我若在你們眼前蒙恩，請你們報告法老說： 5 『我父親要死的時候叫我起誓說：「你要將我葬在迦南地，在我為自己所掘的墳墓裡。」現在求你讓我上去葬我父親，以後我必回來。』」 6 法老說：「你可以上去，照著你父親叫你起的誓將他葬埋。」 7 於是約瑟上去葬他父親。與他一同上去的，有法老的臣僕和法老家中的長老，並埃及國的長老； 8 還有約瑟的全家和他的弟兄們，並他父親的眷屬，只有他們的婦人孩子和羊群牛群都留在歌珊地； 9 又有車輛馬兵和他一同上去。那一幫人甚多。 10 他們到了約旦河外亞達的禾場，就在那裡大大地號啕痛哭。約瑟為他父親哀哭了七天。 11 迦南的居民見亞達禾場上的哀哭，就說：「這是埃及人一場大的哀哭。」因此那地方名叫亞伯麥西，是在約旦河東。 12 雅各的兒子們就遵著他父親所吩咐的辦了， 13 把他搬到迦南地，葬在幔利前麥比拉田間的洞裡。那洞和田是亞伯拉罕向赫人以弗崙買來為業，做墳地的。 14 約瑟葬了他父親以後，就和眾弟兄並一切同他上去葬他父親的人，都回埃及去了。
15 約瑟的哥哥們見父親死了，就說：「或者約瑟懷恨我們，照著我們從前待他一切的惡足足地報復我們。」 16 他們就打發人去見約瑟，說：「你父親未死以先吩咐說： 17 『你們要對約瑟這樣說：從前你哥哥們惡待你，求你饒恕他們的過犯和罪惡。』如今求你饒恕你父親神之僕人的過犯！」他們對約瑟說這話，約瑟就哭了。 18 他的哥哥們又來俯伏在他面前，說：「我們是你的僕人。」 19 約瑟對他們說：「不要害怕，我豈能代替神呢？ 20 從前你們的意思是要害我，但神的意思原是好的，要保全許多人的性命，成就今日的光景。 21 現在你們不要害怕，我必養活你們和你們的婦人孩子。」於是，約瑟用親愛的話安慰他們。
約瑟遺囑弟兄將其骸骨攜歸故土
22 約瑟和他父親的眷屬都住在埃及。約瑟活了一百一十歲。 23 約瑟得見以法蓮第三代的子孫，瑪拿西的孫子瑪吉的兒子也養在約瑟的膝上。 24 約瑟對他弟兄們說：「我要死了，但神必定看顧你們，領你們從這地上去，到他起誓所應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各之地。」 25 約瑟叫以色列的子孫起誓說：「神必定看顧你們，你們要把我的骸骨從這裡搬上去。」 26 約瑟死了，正一百一十歲。人用香料將他薰了，把他收殮在棺材裡，停在埃及。
Genesis 50
King James Version
50 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 And 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.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
13 For 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 buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
