Genesis 50
1 And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.
Quod cernens Ioseph, ruit super faciem patris flens et deosculans eum.
2 Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —so the physicians embalmed Israel.
Præcepitque servis suis medicis ut aromatibus condirent patrem.
3 And they fulfilled for him forty days, for so, are they wont to fulfil the days of the embalmed, —and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
Quibus iussa explentibus, transierunt quadraginta dies: iste quippe mos erat cadaverum conditorum. flevitque eum Ægyptus septuaginta diebus.
4 And, when the days of weeping for him were passed, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh saying, —If I pray you, I have found favour in your eyes, speak ye I pray you in the ears of Pharaoh saying:
Et expleto planctus tempore, locutus est Ioseph ad familiam Pharaonis: Si inveni gratiam in conspectu vestro, loquimini in auribus Pharaonis:
5 My father, made me swear saying, —Lo! I, am about to die, —in my grave which I digged for myself in the land of Canaan, there, shalt thou bury me. Now, therefore, let me go up, I pray thee and bury my father, and return.
eo quod pater meus adiuraverit me, dicens: En morior, in sepulchro meo quod fodi mihi in terra Chanaan, sepelies me. Ascendam igitur, et sepeliam patrem meum, ac revertar.
6 And Pharaoh said, —Go up., and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
Dixitque ei Pharao: Ascende et sepeli patrem tuum sicut adiuratus es.
7 So Joseph went up. to bury his father, —and there went up with him all the servants of Pharaoh the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt;
Quo ascendente, ierunt cum eo omnes senes domus Pharaonis, cunctique maiores natu Terræ Ægypti:
8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father, —only their little ones and their flocks and their herds, left they. in the land of Goshen.
domus Ioseph cum fratribus suis, absque parvulis et gregibus, atque armentis quæ dereliquerant in Terra Gessen.
9 And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,
Habuit quoque in comitatu currus et equites: et facta est turba non modica.
10 And they came in, as far as the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, which is beyond the Jordan, then wailed they there—an exceeding great and grievous wailing, —and he made for his father a mourning, of seven days.
Veneruntque ad Aream Atad, quæ sita est trans Iordanem: ubi celebrantes exequias planctu magno atque vehementi, impleverunt septem dies.
11 And when the dwellers in the land—the Canaanites—saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, they said, —A grievous mourning, this! for the Egyptians. For this cause, was the name thereof called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
Quod cum vidissent habitatores Terræ Chanaan, dixerunt: Planctus magnus est iste Ægyptiis. Et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius, Planctus Ægypti.
12 And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;
Fecerunt ergo filii Iacob sicut præceperat eis:
13 so his sons carried him to 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 from Ephron the Hittite over against Mamre.
Et portantes eum in Terram Chanaan, sepelierunt eum in spelunca duplici, quam emerat Abraham cum agro in possessionem sepulchri ab Ephron Hethæo contra faciem Mambre.
14 Then Joseph returned to Egypt he and his brethren and all who had been up with him to bury his father, —after he had buried his father.
Reversusque est Ioseph in Ægyptum cum fratribus suis, et omni comitatu, sepulto patre.
15 Now when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said—Oh! if Joseph should lie in wait for us, —and should return, to us, all the evil wherewith we requited him!
Quo mortuo, timentes fratres eius, et mutuo colloquentes: Ne forte memor sit iniuriæ quam passus est, et reddat nobis omne malum quod fecimus,
16 So they sent in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died saying:
mandaverunt ei dicentes: Pater tuus præcepit nobis antequam moreretur,
17 Thus, shall ye say to Joseph—Ah now! do forgive we pray thee the transgression of thy brethren and their sin in that with evil, they requited thee. Now, therefore grant forgiveness we pray thee, for the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father! And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
ut hæc tibi verbis illius diceremus: Obsecro ut obliviscaris sceleris fratrum tuorum, et peccati atque malitiæ quam exercuerunt in te: nos quoque oramus ut servis Dei patris tui dimittas iniquitatem hanc. Quibus auditis flevit Ioseph.
18 Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.
Veneruntque ad eum fratres sui: et proni adorantes in terram dixerunt: Servi tui sumus.
19 And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.
Quibus ille respondit: Nolite timere: num Dei possumus resistere voluntati?
20 Ye, indeed, planned against me, evil, —God, planned it, for good, for the sake of doing, as at this day, to save alive much people.
Vos cogitastis de me malum: sed Deus vertit illud in bonum, ut exaltaret me, sicut in præsentiarum cernitis, et salvos faceret multos populos.
21 Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.
Nolite timere: ego pascam vos et parvulos vestros. consolatusque est eos, et blande ac leniter est locutus.
22 And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Et habitavit in Ægypto cum omni domo patris sui: vixitque centum decem annis.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.
Et vidit Ephraim filios usque ad tertiam generationem. Filii quoque Machir filii Manasse nati sunt in genibus Ioseph.
24 Then said Joseph unto his brethren, I, am about to die, —but God will surely concern, himself for you, so will he take you up out of this land, into the land which he sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.
Quibus transactis, locutus est fratribus suis: Post mortem meam Deus visitabit vos, et ascendere vos faciet de terra ista ad terram quam iuravit Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear saying, —God will, surely concern, himself for you, So shall ye carry up my bones, from hence.
Cumque adiurasset eos atque dixisset: Deus visitabit vos: asportate ossa mea vobiscum de loco isto:
26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
mortuus est, expletis centum decem vitæ suæ annis. Et conditus aromatibus, repositus est in loculo in Ægypto.
