1And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father’s face weeping and kissing him.
1ΚΑΙ ἐπιπεσὼν Ἰωσὴφ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἔκλαυσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτόν.
2And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
2καὶ προσέταξεν Ἰωσὴφ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἐνταφιασταῖς ἐνταφιάσαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνεταφίασαν οἱ ἐνταφιασταὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
3And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
3καὶ ἐπλήρωσαν αὐτοῦ τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας· οὕτω γὰρ καταριθμοῦνται αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς ταφῆς. καὶ ἐπένθησεν αὐτὸν Αἴγυπτος ἑβδομήκοντα ἡμέρας.
4And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
4Ἐπεὶ δὲ παρῆλθον αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ πένθους, ἐλάλησεν Ἰωσὴφ πρὸς τοὺς δυνάστας Φαραὼ λέγων· εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον ὑμῶν λαλήσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς τὰ ὦτα Φαραὼ λέγοντες·
5For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
5ὁ πατήρ μου ὥρκισέ με λέγων· ἐν τῷ μνημείῳ ᾧ ὤρυξα ἐμαυτῷ ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἐκεῖ με θάψεις· νῦν οὖν ἀναβὰς θάψω τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ἐπανελεύσομαι.
6And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
6καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰωσήφ· ἀνάβηθι, θάψον τὸν πατέρα σου, καθάπερ ὥρκισέ σε.
7So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao’s house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
7καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωσὴφ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνανέβησαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ παῖδες Φαραὼ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῆς γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
8And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
8καὶ πᾶσα ἡ πανοικία Ἰωσὴφ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ οἰκία ἡ πατρικὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν συγγένειαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τοὺς βόας ὑπελίποντο ἐν γῇ Γεσέμ.
9He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company.
9καὶ συνανέβησαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς, καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ παρεμβολὴ μεγάλη σφόδρα.
10And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full seven days.
10καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς ἅλωνα Ἀτάδ, ὅ ἐστι πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ ἐκόψαντο αὐτὸν κοπετὸν μέγαν καὶ ἰσχυρὸν σφόδρα· καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πένθος τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.
11And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
11καὶ εἶδον οἱ κάτοικοι τῆς γῆς Χαναὰν τὸ πένθος ἐπὶ ἅλωνι Ἀτὰδ καὶ εἶπαν· πένθος μέγα τοῦτό ἐστι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Πένθος Αἰγύπτου, ὅ ἐστι πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
12So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
12καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ
13And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the field for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
13καὶ ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Χαναὰν καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν, ὃ ἐκτήσατο Ἁβραὰμ τὸ σπήλαιον ἐν κτήσει μνημείου παρὰ Ἐφρὼν τοῦ Χετταίου, κατέναντι Μαμβρῆ.
14And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
14καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν Ἰωσὴφ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ συναναβάντες θάψαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ.
15Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.
15Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ἰωσὴφ ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν, εἶπαν· μή ποτε μνησικακήσῃ ἡμῖν Ἰωσὴφ καὶ ἀνταπόδομα ἀνταποδῷ ἡμῖν πάντα τὰ κακά, ἃ ἐνεδειξάμεθα εἰς αὐτόν.
16And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
16καὶ παραγενόμενοι πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ εἶπαν· ὁ πατήρ σου ὥρκισε πρὸ τοῦ τελευτῆσαι αὐτὸν λέγων·
17That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.
17οὕτως εἴπατε Ἰωσήφ· ἄφες αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀδικίαν καί τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν, ὅτι πονηρά σοι ἐνεδείξαντο· καὶ νῦν δέξαι τὴν ἀδικίαν τῶν θεραπόντων τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ πατρός σου. καὶ ἔκλαυσεν Ἰωσὴφ λαλούντων αὐτῶν πρὸς αὐτόν.
18And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
18καὶ ἐλθόντες πρὸς αὐτὸν εἶπαν· οἵδε ἡμεῖς σοὶ ἱκέται.
19And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
19καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰωσήφ· μὴ φοβεῖσθε, τοῦ γὰρ Θεοῦ εἰμι ἐγώ.
20You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.
20ὑμεῖς ἐβουλεύσασθε κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ εἰς πονηρά, ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς ἀγαθά, ὅπως ἂν γενηθῇ ὡς σήμερον καὶ τραφῇ λαὸς πολύς.
21Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
21καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· μὴ φοβεῖσθε· ἐγὼ διαθρέψω ὑμᾶς καὶ τὰς οἰκίας ὑμῶν. καὶ παρεκάλεσεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῶν εἰς τὴν καρδίαν.
22And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father’s house: and lived a hundred and ten years. And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasses were born on Joseph’s knees.
22Καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἰωσὴφ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ πανοικία τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἔζησεν Ἰωσὴφ ἔτη ἑκατὸν δέκα.
23After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
23καὶ εἶδεν Ἰωσὴφ Ἐφραΐμ παιδία ἕως τρίτης γενεᾶς, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Μαχεὶρ τοῦ υἱοῦ Μανασσῆ ἐτέχθησαν ἐπὶ μηρῶν Ἰωσήφ.
24And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of this place:
24καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσήφ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ λέγων· ἐγὼ ἀποθνήσκω· ἐπισκοπῇ δὲ ἐπισκέψεται ὁ Θεὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ἀνάξει ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ταύτης εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσεν ὁ Θεὸς τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν, Ἁβραάμ, Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ.
25And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
25καὶ ὥρκισεν Ἰωσὴφ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ λέγων· ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ, ᾗ ἐπισκέψηται ὁ Θεὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ συνανοίσετε τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ἐντεῦθεν μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν.
