Genesis 50
New International Version
50 Joseph threw himself on his father and wept over him and kissed him.(A) 2 Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So the physicians embalmed him,(B) 3 taking a full forty days, for that was the time required for embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.(C)
4 When the days of mourning(D) had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court,(E) “If I have found favor in your eyes,(F) speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, 5 ‘My father made me swear an oath(G) and said, “I am about to die;(H) bury me in the tomb I dug for myself(I) in the land of Canaan.”(J) Now let me go up and bury my father;(K) then I will return.’”
6 Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials(L) accompanied him—the dignitaries of his court(M) and all the dignitaries of Egypt— 8 besides all the members of Joseph’s household and his brothers and those belonging to his father’s household.(N) Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen.(O) 9 Chariots(P) and horsemen[a] also went up with him. It was a very large company.
10 When they reached the threshing floor(Q) of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly;(R) and there Joseph observed a seven-day period(S) of mourning(T) for his father.(U) 11 When the Canaanites(V) who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning.”(W) That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.[b]
12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them:(X) 13 They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah,(Y) near Mamre,(Z) which Abraham had bought along with the field(AA) as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite.(AB) 14 After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.(AC)
Joseph Reassures His Brothers
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge(AD) against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”(AE) 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions(AF) before he died: 17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins(AG) and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’(AH) Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.(AI)” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.(AJ)
18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him.(AK) “We are your slaves,”(AL) they said.
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?(AM) 20 You intended to harm me,(AN) but God intended(AO) it for good(AP) to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.(AQ) 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.(AR)” And he reassured them and spoke kindly(AS) to them.
The Death of Joseph
22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived a hundred and ten years(AT) 23 and saw the third generation(AU) of Ephraim’s(AV) children.(AW) Also the children of Makir(AX) son of Manasseh(AY) were placed at birth on Joseph’s knees.[c](AZ)
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die.(BA) But God will surely come to your aid(BB) and take you up out of this land to the land(BC) he promised on oath to Abraham,(BD) Isaac(BE) and Jacob.”(BF) 25 And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath(BG) and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones(BH) up from this place.”(BI)
26 So Joseph died(BJ) at the age of a hundred and ten.(BK) And after they embalmed him,(BL) he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.

Burial of Jacob
50 Then Joseph (A)fell on his father’s face and (B)wept over him, and kissed him. 2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to (C)embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel. 3 Forty days were required for him, for such are the days required for those who are embalmed; and the Egyptians (D)mourned[a] for him seventy days.
4 Now when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to (E)the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the hearing of Pharaoh, saying, 5 (F)‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying; in my grave (G)which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come back.’ ”
6 And Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
7 So 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 as well as all 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. 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen, and it was a very great gathering.
10 Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and they (H)mourned there with a great and very solemn lamentation. (I)He observed seven days of mourning for his father. 11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a deep mourning of the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called [b]Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 So his sons did for him just as he had commanded them. 13 For (J)his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre, which Abraham (K)bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as property for a burial place. 14 And after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all who went up with him to bury his father.
Joseph Reassures His Brothers
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, (L)they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may [c]actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.” 16 So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, 17 ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; (M)for they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of (N)the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 Then his brothers also went and (O)fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 Joseph said to them, (P)“Do not be afraid, (Q)for am I in the place of God? 20 (R)But as for you, you meant evil against me; but (S)God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. 21 Now therefore, do not be afraid; (T)I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke [d]kindly to them.
Death of Joseph(U)
22 So Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father’s household. And Joseph lived one hundred and ten years. 23 Joseph saw Ephraim’s children (V)to the third generation. (W)The children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, (X)were also brought up on Joseph’s knees.
24 And Joseph said to his brethren, “I am dying; but (Y)God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land (Z)of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25 Then (AA)Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely [e]visit you, and (AB)you shall carry up my (AC)bones from here.” 26 So Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

安葬雅各
50 約瑟伏在父親身上痛哭，親吻他， 2 然後吩咐醫生用香料保存父親的遺體。醫生遵命而行， 3 按照常例花了四十天處理屍體。埃及人為他哀悼七十天。
4 哀悼的日子完了，約瑟對法老宮中的人說：「如果你們恩待我， 5 請告訴法老，我父親死前要我起誓把他葬在迦南他自己預備好的墳地。請准許我到迦南去安葬我父親，我辦完喪事就回來。」 6 法老說：「去按照你的誓言埋葬你父親吧。」 7 於是，約瑟啟程去埋葬他的父親，隨行的有法老所有的臣僕和埃及所有的達官貴人， 8 以及約瑟全家、他的眾弟兄和雅各的家眷，只有他們的孩子和牛羊仍然留在歌珊。 9 隨行的還有大隊車輛和兵馬，人數眾多。 10 他們來到約旦河附近的亞達麥場，在那裡痛哭哀悼。約瑟為父親守喪七天。 11 迦南人看見他們在亞達麥場痛哭，就說：「埃及人在痛哭哀悼。」因此，約旦河附近的那個地方叫亞伯·麥西[a]。 12 以色列的兒子們遵照父親的遺言， 13 把父親的遺體帶回迦南，安葬在幔利附近、麥比拉田間的洞裡。洞和田地都是亞伯拉罕向赫人以弗崙買來作墳地的。 14 葬禮之後，約瑟就跟眾弟兄和一切隨行的人返回埃及。
上帝的美好旨意
15 約瑟的哥哥們見父親死了，就說：「約瑟會不會懷恨在心，因我們以前惡待他而報復我們呢？」 16 於是，他們派人去對約瑟說：「你父親臨終時交待這樣的話給你， 17 『從前你哥哥們惡待你，求你饒恕他們的罪惡和過犯。』我們是你父親的上帝的僕人，求你饒恕我們的罪惡。」約瑟聽見這些話，就哭了。 18 約瑟的哥哥們來見他，俯伏在他面前，說：「我們是你的奴僕。」 19 約瑟對他們說：「你們不要害怕，我豈能代替上帝？ 20 從前你們是要加害於我，但上帝有祂的美意，祂藉此保全許多人的性命，正如今日的光景。 21 因此，你們不要害怕，我會照顧你們和你們的兒女。」約瑟好言好語地寬慰他們。
約瑟去世
22 約瑟和他父親全家住在埃及。約瑟享年一百一十歲。 23 他看到了以法蓮的孫子，也曾把瑪拿西的兒子瑪吉的孩子抱在膝上。 24 一天，約瑟對他的弟兄們說：「我快要死了，但上帝必看顧你們，帶你們離開這裡，回到祂起誓應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的地方。」 25 約瑟要以色列的子孫發誓把他的骸骨帶回迦南，又說：「上帝必看顧你們。」 26 約瑟享年一百一十歲。他們把他的遺體用香料保存好，放在棺材裡，停放在埃及。

50 Entonces José se echó sobre la cara de su padre, lloró sobre él y lo besó. 2 José mandó a sus servidores, los médicos, que embalsamaran a su padre, y los médicos embalsamaron a Israel. 3 Cumplieron con él cuarenta días, tiempo que duraba el proceso de embalsamamiento, y los egipcios guardaron luto por él setenta días. 4 Y pasados los días de su duelo, José habló a los de la casa del faraón diciendo:
—Si he hallado gracia ante sus ojos, por favor, hagan llegar a oídos del faraón lo siguiente: 5 “Mi padre me hizo jurar diciendo: ‘He aquí, que yo voy a morir; en el sepulcro que cavé para mí en la tierra de Canaán, allí me sepultarás’. Permite, pues, que suba yo ahora, sepulte a mi padre y regrese”.
6 El faraón le respondió:
—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 servidores del faraón, los dignatarios de su corte y todos los dignatarios de la tierra de Egipto, 8 toda la familia de José, sus hermanos y la familia de su padre. Solamente dejaron en la tierra de Gosén a sus niños, sus ovejas y sus vacas. 9 Subieron también con él carros y gente de a caballo, formando un numeroso cortejo.
10 Llegaron hasta la era de Atad, que estaba al otro lado del Jordán, y allí tuvieron una lamentación grande y muy fuerte. José hizo duelo por su padre durante siete días.
11 Al ver los habitantes de la tierra, los cananeos, el duelo en la era de Atad, dijeron: “¡Grande es este duelo de los egipcios!”. Por eso fue llamado Abel-mizraim[a] el nombre de ese lugar, que está al otro lado del Jordán.
12 Hicieron, pues, sus hijos con él, según les había mandado Jacob. 13 Sus hijos lo llevaron a la tierra de Canaán y lo sepultaron en la cueva del campo de Macpela, frente a Mamre, la cual, junto con el campo, Abraham había comprado a Efrón el heteo, como una propiedad para sepultura.
José consuela a sus hermanos
14 Después que había sepultado a su padre, José volvió a Egipto junto con sus hermanos y todos los que fueron con él para sepultar a su padre. 15 Y viendo los hermanos de José que su padre había muerto, dijeron:
—Quizás José nos tenga rencor y nos devuelva todo el mal que le ocasionamos.
16 Y enviaron a decir a José:
—Tu padre nos mandó antes de su muerte que te dijéramos: 17 “Así dirán a José: ‘Por favor, perdona la maldad de tus hermanos y su pecado, porque te trataron mal’ ”. Por eso, te rogamos que perdones la maldad de los siervos del Dios de tu padre.
José lloró mientras le hablaban. 18 Entonces lloraron[b] también sus hermanos, y postrándose delante de él le dijeron:
—Aquí nos tienes como siervos tuyos.
19 Pero José les respondió:
—No teman. ¿Estoy yo acaso en el lugar de Dios? 20 Ustedes pensaron hacerme mal, pero Dios lo encaminó para bien, para hacer lo que vemos hoy: mantener con vida a un pueblo numeroso. 21 Ahora pues, no tengan miedo. Yo los sustentaré a ustedes y a sus hijos.
Así los confortó y les habló al corazón.
José muere en Egipto
22 José se quedó en Egipto con la familia de su padre. José vivió ciento diez años, 23 y vio José a los hijos de Efraín hasta la tercera generación. También cuando nacieron los hijos de Maquir hijo de Manasés fueron puestos sobre las rodillas de José.
24 Luego José dijo a sus hermanos:
—Yo voy a morir, pero Dios ciertamente los visitará con su favor y los hará subir de esta tierra a la tierra que juró dar a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob.
25 Entonces José hizo jurar a los hijos de Israel, diciendo:
—Ciertamente Dios vendrá en su ayuda; entonces ustedes harán llevar de aquí mis restos.
26 José murió a la edad de ciento diez años, y lo embalsamaron y lo pusieron en un ataúd en Egipto.

50 And Yosef fell upon the face of Aviv, and wept over him, and kissed him.
2 And Yosef commanded his avadim the rofe’im (physicians) to embalm Aviv; and the rofe’im embalmed Yisroel.
3 And arba’im yom were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed; and the Mitzra’im mourned for him shivim yom (seventy days).
4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Yosef spoke unto the Bais Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found chen in your eyes, speak, now, in the oznayim of Pharaoh, saying,
5 Avi made me swear, saying, Hinei, I die; in my kever which I dug for myself in Eretz Kana’an, there shalt thou bury me. Therefore let me go up, now, and bury Avi, and I will return.
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury Avicha, according as he made thee swear.
7 And Yosef went up to bury Aviv; and with him went up all the avadim of Pharaoh, the zekenim of his Bais, and all the zekenim of Eretz Mitzrayim,
8 And kol Bais Yosef, and his achim, and Bais Aviv; only their little ones, and their tzon, and their bakar (cattle), they left in Eretz Goshen.
9 And there went up with him both merkavot and parashim; and it was a very great machaneh.
10 And they came to the goren (threshing floor) of Atad, which is beyond the Yarden, and there they mourned with a gadol and very bitter lamentation; and he made evel (mourning) for Aviv shivat yamim.
11 And when the inhabitants of HaAretz, the Kena’ani, saw the evel (mourning) in the goren Atad, they said, This is a grievous evel to the Mitzrayim; therefore the shem of it was called Evel Mitzrayim. It is beyond the Yarden.
12 And his [Ya’akov’s] banim did unto him according as he commanded them;
13 For his banim carried him into Eretz Kena’an, and buried him in the me’arah (cave) of the sadeh of Machpelah, near Mamre, the sadeh which Avraham had bought for an achuzzat kever (burial estate) and made the purchase from Ephron the Chitti.
14 And, after burying Aviv, Yosef returned into Mitzrayim, he, and his achim, and all that went up with him to bury Aviv.
15 And when the Achei Yosef (the brothers of Yosef) saw that Avihem was dead, they said, What if Yosef will hate us, and will certainly requite us all the ra’ah which we did unto him.
16 And they sent word unto Yosef, saying, Avicha did command before he died, saying,
17 So shall ye say unto Yosef, Forgive, now, the peysha of thy achim, and their chattat; for they did unto thee ra’ah; and now, forgive the peysha of the Avdei Elohei Avicha. And Yosef wept when they spoke unto him.
18 And his achim also went and fell down before him; and they said, Behold us, we are thy avadim.
19 And Yosef said unto them, Fear not; for am I in the place of Elohim?
20 But as for you, ye intended ra’ah against me; but Elohim intended it for tovah, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save Am Rav (much people) alive.
21 Now therefore fear ye not; I will provide for you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto their hearts.
22 And Yosef dwelt in Mitzrayim, he, and Bais Aviv; and Yosef lived one hundred and ten shanim.
23 And Yosef saw Ephraim’s bnei shileshim (children to the third generation); also the Bnei Machir Ben Menasheh were brought up upon the birkei Yosef (knees of Yosef).
24 And Yosef said unto his achim, I die; and Elohim will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto HaAretz which He promised by oath to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Ya’akov.
25 And Yosef made the Bnei Yisroel take an oath, saying, Elohim will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my atzmot from hence.
26 So Yosef died, being in age one hundred and ten shanim; and they embalmed him, and he was placed in an aron in Mitzrayim.
