| 1 فَوَقَعَ يُوسُفُ عَلَى وَجْهِ أَبِيهِ وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَبَّلَهُ. | 1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. |
|
| 2 وَأَمَرَ يُوسُفُ عَبِيدَهُ الأَطِبَّاءَ أَنْ يُحَنِّطُوا أَبَاهُ. فَحَنَّطَ الأَطِبَّاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | 2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. |
|
| 3 وَكَمُلَ لَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا، لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا تَكْمُلُ أَيَّامُ الْمُحَنَّطِينَ. وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ سَبْعِينَ يَوْمًا. | 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 وَبَعْدَ مَا مَضَتْ أَيَّامُ بُكَائِهِ كَلَّمَ يُوسُفُ بَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلاً: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عُيُونِكُمْ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي مَسَامِعِ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلِينَ: | 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 أَبِي اسْتَحْلَفَنِي قَائِلاً: هَا أَنَا أَمُوتُ. فِي قَبْرِيَ الَّذِي حَفَرْتُ لِنَفْسِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ هُنَاكَ تَدْفِنُنِي، فَالآنَ أَصْعَدُ لأَدْفِنَ أَبِي وَأَرْجِعُ». | 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 فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «اصْعَدْ وَادْفِنْ أَبَاكَ كَمَا اسْتَحْلَفَكَ». | 6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear. |
|
| 7 فَصَعِدَ يُوسُفُ لِيَدْفِنَ أَبَاهُ، وَصَعِدَ مَعَهُ جَمِيعُ عَبِيدِ فِرْعَوْنَ، شُيُوخُ بَيْتِهِ وَجَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، | 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 وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا أَوْلاَدَهُمْ وَغَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ. | 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 وَصَعِدَ مَعَهُ مَرْكَبَاتٌ وَفُرْسَانٌ، فَكَانَ الْجَيْشُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا. | 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. |
|
| 10 فَأَتَوْا إِلَى بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ الَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ وَنَاحُوا هُنَاكَ نَوْحًا عَظِيمًا وَشَدِيدًا جِدًّا، وَصَنَعَ لأَبِيهِ مَنَاحَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | 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 فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَهْلُ الْبِلاَدِ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ الْمَنَاحَةَ فِي بَيْدَرِ أَطَادَ قَالُوا: «هذِهِ مَنَاحَةٌ ثَقِيلَةٌ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ». لِذلِكَ دُعِيَ اسْمُهُ «آبَلَ مِصْرَايِمَ». الَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ. | 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 وَفَعَلَ لَهُ بَنُوهُ هكَذَا كَمَا أَوْصَاهُمْ: | 12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them: |
|
| 13 حَمَلَهُ بَنُوهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ حَقْلِ الْمَكْفِيلَةِ، الَّتِي اشْتَرَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَعَ الْحَقْلِ مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ مِنْ عِفْرُونَ الْحِثِّيِ أَمَامَ مَمْرَا. | 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 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يُوسُفُ إِلَى مِصْرَ هُوَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُ لِدَفْنِ أَبِيهِ بَعْدَ مَا دَفَنَ أَبَاهُ. | 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. |
|
يوسف يطمئن إخوته | |
| 15 وَلَمَّا رَأَى إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ، قَالُوا: «لَعَلَّ يُوسُفَ يَضْطَهِدُنَا وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعَ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي صَنَعْنَا بِهِ». | 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 فَأَوَصَوْا إِلَى يُوسُفَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَبُوكَ أَوْصَى قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ قَائِلاً: | 16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, |
|
| 17 هكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِيُوسُفَ: آهِ! اصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ إِخْوَتِكَ وَخَطِيَّتِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ صَنَعُوا بِكَ شَرًّا. فَالآنَ اصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ عَبِيدِ إِلهِ أَبِيكَ». فَبَكَى يُوسُفُ حِينَ كَلَّمُوهُ. | 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 وَأَتَى إِخْوَتُهُ أَيْضًا وَوَقَعُوا أَمَامَهُ وَقَالُوا: «هَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدُكَ». | 18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. |
|
| 19 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ: «لاَ تَخَافُوا. لأَنَّهُ هَلْ أَنَا مَكَانَ اللهِ؟ | 19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? |
|
| 20 أَنْتُمْ قَصَدْتُمْ لِي شَرًّا، أَمَّا اللهُ فَقَصَدَ بِهِ خَيْرًا، لِكَيْ يَفْعَلَ كَمَا الْيَوْمَ، لِيُحْيِيَ شَعْبًا كَثِيرًا. | 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 فَالآنَ لاَ تَخَافُوا. أَنَا أَعُولُكُمْ وَأَوْلاَدَكُمْ». فَعَزَّاهُمْ وَطَيَّبَ قُلُوبَهُمْ. | 21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them. |
|
موت يوسف | |
| 22 وَسَكَنَ يُوسُفُ فِي مِصْرَ هُوَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ، وَعَاشَ يُوسُفُ مِئَةً وَعَشَرَ سِنِينَ. | 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. |
|
| 23 وَرَأَى يُوسُفُ لأَفْرَايِمَ أَوْلاَدَ الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ. وَأَوْلاَدُ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى أَيْضًا وُلِدُوا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْ يُوسُفَ. | 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 وَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لإِخْوَتِهِ: «أَنَا أَمُوتُ، وَلكِنَّ اللهَ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ وَيُصْعِدُكُمْ مِنْ هذِهِ الأَرْضِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ». | 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 وَاسْتَحْلَفَ يُوسُفُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «اللهُ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ فَتُصْعِدُونَ عِظَامِي مِنْ هُنَا». | 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 ثُمَّ مَاتَ يُوسُفُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مِئَةٍ وَعَشَرِ سِنِينَ، فَحَنَّطُوهُ وَوُضِعَ فِي تَابُوتٍ فِي مِصْرَ. | 26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. |
