Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
1Καὶ ἐπιπεσὼν Ἰωσὴφ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτόν.
2And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
2Καὶ προσέταξεν Ἰωσὴφ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἐνταφιασταῖς, ἐνταφιάσαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνεταφίασαν οἱ ἐνταφιασταὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
3And 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.
3Καὶ ἐπλήρωσαν αὐτοῦ τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας· οὕτω γὰρ καταριθμοῦνται αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς ταφῆς· καὶ ἐπένθησεν αὐτὸν Αἴγυπτος ἑβδομήκοντα ἡμέρας.
4And 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,
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,
5My 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.
5ὁ πατήρ μου ὥρκισέ με, λέγων, ἐν τῷ μνημείῳ, ᾧ ὤρυξα ἐμαυτῷ ἐν γῇ Χαναὰν, ἐκεῖ με θάψεις· νῦν οὖν ἀναβὰς· θάψω τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ἐπανελεύσομαι·
6And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
6Καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, ἀνάβηθι, θάψον τὸν πατέρα σου, καθάπερ ὥρκισέ σε.
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,
7Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωσὴφ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνανέβησαν μετʼ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ παῖδες Φαραὼ, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῆς γῆς Αἰγύπτου,
8And 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.
8καὶ πᾶσα ἡ πανοικία Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ οἰκία ἡ πατρικὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ συγγένεια αὐτοῦ· καὶ τὰ πρόβατα, καὶ τοὺς βόας ὑπελίποντο ἐν γῇ Γεσέμ.
9And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
9Καὶ συνανέβησαν μετʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς, καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ παρεμβολὴ μεγάλη σφόδρα.
10And 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.
10Καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς ἅλωνα Ἀτὰδ, 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 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 Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
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.
12And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
12Καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ.
13For 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.
13Καὶ ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Χαναάν· καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν, ὃ ἐκτήσατο Ἁβραὰμ τὸ σπήλαιον ἐν κτήσει μνημείου παρὰ Ἐφρὼν τοῦ Χετταίου, κατέναντι Μαμβρή.
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.
14Καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν Ἰωσὴφ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ συναναβάντες θάψαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ.
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.
15Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ἰωσὴφ, ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν, εἶπαν, μή ποτε μνησικακήσῃ ἡμῖν Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ ἀνταπόδομα ἀνταποδῷ ἡμῖν πάντα τὰ κακὰ, ἃ ἐνεδειξάμεθα εἰς αὐτὸν.
16And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
16Καὶ παραγενόμενοι πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ εἶπαν, ὁ πατήρ σου ὥρκισε πρὸ τοῦ τελευτῆσαι αὐτὸν, λέγων,
17So 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.
17οὕτως εἴπατε Ἰωσήφ· ἄφες αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀδικίαν καὶ 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 also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
18Καὶ ἐλθόντες πρὸς αὐτὸν εἶπαν, οἵδε ἡμεῖς σοὶ οἰκέται.
19And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
19Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰωσὴφ, μὴ φοβεῖσθε, τοῦ γὰρ Θεοῦ εἰμι ἐγώ.
20But 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.
20Ὑμεῖς ἐβουλεύσασθε κατʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς πονηρὰ, ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς ἀγαθὰ, ὅπως ἂν γενηθῇ ὡς σήμερον, καὶ τραφῇ λαὸς πολύς.
21Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
21Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, μὴ φοβεῖσθε· ἐγὼ διαθρέψω ὑμᾶς, καὶ τὰς οἰκίας ὑμῶν· καὶ παρεκάλεσεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῶν εἰς τὴν καρδίαν.
22¶ And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
22Καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἰωσὴφ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ πανοικία τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔζησεν Ἰωσὴφ ἔτη ἑκατὸν δέκα.
23And 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.
23Καὶ εἶδεν Ἰωσὴφ Ἐφραὶμ παιδία, ἕως τρίτης γενεᾶς· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Μαχεὶρ τοῦ υἱοῦ Μανασσῆ ἐτέχθησαν ἐπὶ μηρῶν Ἰωσήφ.
24And 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.
24Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσὴφ 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, Ἁβραὰμ, Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Ἰακώβ.
25And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
25Καὶ ὥρκισεν Ἰωσὴφ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ ᾗ ἐπισκέψηται ὁ Θεὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ συνανοίσετε τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ἐντεῦθεν μεθʼ ὑμῶν.
26So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
26Καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν Ἰωσὴφ ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν δέκα· καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔθηκαν ἐν τῇ σορῷ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ.
