1 ث ُمَّ انحَنَى يُوسُفُ فَوْقَ أبِيهِ، وَبَكَى عَلَيهِ، وَقَبَّلَهُ.

And Joseph falleth on his father's face, and weepeth over him, and kisseth him;

2 و َأمَرَ يُوسُفُ أطِبّاءَهُ الخاصِّينَ بِأنْ يُحَنِّطُوا أباهُ. فَحَنَّطَ الأطِبّاءُ إسْرائِيلَ.

and Joseph commandeth his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm Israel;

3 و َأمضُوا أيّامَ التَّحنِيطِ الأرْبَعِينَ. وَبَكَى عَلَيهِ المِصْرِيُّونَ سَبْعِينَ يَوماً.

and they fulfil for him forty days, for so they fulfil the days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians weep for him seventy days.

4 و َلَمّا انتَهَتْ فَتْرَةُ الحِدادِ، تَحَدَّثَ يُوسُفُ إلَى بَيتِ فِرعَوْنَ وَقالَ: «إنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَنِي وَرَضِيتُمْ عَنِّي حَقّاً، فَتَكَلَّمُوا مَعَ فِرعَوْنَ وَقُولُوا لَهُ

And the days of his weeping pass away, and Joseph speaketh unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, `If, I pray you, I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

5 إ نَّ أبِي اسْتَحلَفَنِي وَقالَ لِي: ‹ها أنا أحتَضِرُ. فادْفِنِّي فِي القَبْرِ الَّذِي حَفَرْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي فِي أرْضِ كَنْعانَ.› فَأرجُو الآنَ أنْ تَسْمَحَ لِي بِأنْ أذْهَبَ وَأدفِنَ أبِي، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سَأعُودُ.»

My father caused me to swear, saying, Lo, I am dying; in my burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of Canaan, there dost thou bury me; and now, let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and return;'

6 ف َقالَ لَهُ فِرعَوْنُ: «اذْهَبْ وَادفِنْ أباكَ كَما اسْتَحلَفَكَ.»

and Pharaoh saith, `Go up and bury thy father, as he caused thee to swear.'

7 ف َذَهَبَ يُوسُفُ لِيَدفِنَ أباهُ. وَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ كُلُّ وُزَراءِ فِرعَوْنَ وَشُيُوخِ بَيتِهِ وَكُلُّ وُجَهاءِ أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

And Joseph goeth up to bury his father, and go up with him do all the servants of Pharaoh, elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 و َذَهَبَ أيضاً كُلُّ بَيتِ يُوسُفَ وَإخوَتِهِ وَبُيُوتِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَترُكُوا خَلْفَهُمْ فِي أرْضِ جاسانَ إلّا أطفالَهُمْ وَغَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ.

and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father; only their infants, and their flock, and their herd, have they left in the land of Goshen;

9 و َخَرَجَتْ عَرَباتٌ وَفُرْسانٌ أيضاً مَعَهُ. فَكانَ جُمهُوراً عَظِيماً جِدّاً.

and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.

10 و َوَصَلُوا إلَى بَيدَرِ أطادَ عَلَى الضِّفَّةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ لِنَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ. وَهُناكَ بَكُوا عَلَى يَعقُوبَ بُكاءً عالِياً مُرّاً. وَعَمِلَ يُوسُفُ هُناكَ مَناحَةً لِسَبْعَةِ أيّامٍ.

And they come unto the threshing-floor of Atad, which beyond the Jordan, and they lament there, a lamentation great and very grievous; and he maketh for his father a mourning seven days,

11 و َرَأى سُكّانُ تِلْكَ المِنطَقَةِ مِنَ الكَنْعانِيِّينَ المَناحَةَ المُقامَةَ عَلَى بَيدَرِ أطادَ. فَقالُوا: «المِصْرِيُّونَ يَنُوحُونَ بِمَرارَةٍ.» فَسَمُّوا ذَلِكَ المَكانَ آبِلَ مِصْرايِمَ، وَهُوَ شَرْقُ نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ.

and the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, see the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad, and say, `A grievous mourning this to the Egyptians;' therefore hath called its name `The mourning of the Egyptians,' which beyond the Jordan.

12 و َهَكَذا فَعَلَ أولادُ يَعقُوبَ كَما أوصاهُمْ.

And his sons do to him so as he commanded them,

13 إ ذْ حَمَلُوهُ إلَى أرْضِ كَنْعانَ. ثُمَّ دَفَنُوهُ فِي الحَقلِ الَّذِيِ فِي حَقلِ المَكفِيلَةِ قُرْبَ مَمْرا. وَهُوَ الحَقلُ الَّذِي اشْتَراهُ إبْراهِيمُ مِنْ عِفْرُونَ الحِثِّيِّ لِيَكُونَ مَقْبَرَةً.

and his sons bear him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of Mamre.

14 ث ُمَّ عادَ يُوسُفُ وَإخوَتُهُ وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ جاءُوا مَعَهُ لِدَفْنِ أبِيهِ إلَى مِصْرَ، بَعْدَ أنْ دَفَنَ أباهُ. خوفُ إخْوَةِ يُوسُفَ منه

And Joseph turneth back to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his burying his father.

15 ث ُمَّ أحَسَّ إخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ بِالخَوفِ، لِأنَّ أباهُمْ ماتَ. فَقالُوا: «رُبَّما يَحمِلُ يُوسُفُ ضَغِينَةً عَلَينا. وَرُبَّما يَجعَلُنا نَدفَعُ ثَمَنَ إساءَتِنا لَهُ.»

And the brethren of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, `Peradventure Joseph doth hate us, and doth certainly return to us all the evil which we did with him.'

16 ف َأرْسَلُوا رِسالَةً إلَى يُوسُفَ تَقُولُ: أوصانا أبوكَ بِهَذا قَبلَ مَوْتِهِ فَقالَ لَنا:

And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, `Thy father commanded before his death, saying,

17 « قُولُوا لِيُوسُفَ: لَقَدْ أساءَ إلَيكَ إخْوَتُكَ حَقّاً. لَكِنْ أرجُو أنْ تُسامِحَهُمْ عَلَى جَرِيمَتِهِمْ وَخَطِيَّتِهِمْ.» فَالآنَ أرجُو أنْ تَغْفِرَ جَرِيمَةَ خُدّامِ إلَهِ أبِيكَ. فَبَكَى يُوسُفُ بِسَبَبِ رِسالَتِهِمْ.

Thus ye do say to Joseph, I pray thee, bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for they have done thee evil; and now, bear, we pray thee, with the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father;' and Joseph weepeth in their speaking unto him.

18 و َذَهَبَ إلَيهِ إخْوَتُهُ أيضاً. وَألقَوْا بِأنفُسِهِمْ أمامَهُ وَقالُوا: «ها نَحنُ عَبِيدٌ لَكَ.»

And his brethren also go and fall before him, and say, `Lo, we to thee for servants.'

19 ل َكِنَّ يُوسُفَ قالَ لَهُمْ: «لا تَخافُوا، فَهَلْ أنا اللهُ لِأُدِينَكُمْ؟

And Joseph saith unto them, `Fear not, for I in the place of God?

20 أ نتُمْ نَوَيتُمْ بِي شَرّاً، لَكِنَّ اللهَ نَوَى بِهِ خَيراً. فَقَدْ قَصَدَ اللهُ أنْ يُحَقِّقَ النَّتائِجَ الحالِيَّةَ: أنْ يُبْقِيَ عَلَى حَياةِ كَثِيرِينَ.

As for you, ye devised against me evil -- God devised it for good, in order to do as this day, to keep alive a numerous people;

21 ف َلا تَخافُوا. وَأنا سَأعُولُكُمْ وَأعُولُ أطفالَكُمْ.» وَهَكَذا طَمْأنَهُمْ وَطَيَّبَ قُلُوبَهُمْ.

and now, fear not: I do nourish you and your infants;' and he comforteth them, and speaketh unto their heart.

22 ف َبَقِيَ يُوسُفُ وَبَيتُ أبِيهِ فِي مِصْرَ. وَعاشَ يُوسُفُ مِئَةً وَعَشْرَ سِنِينَ.

And Joseph dwelleth in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph liveth a hundred and ten years,

23 و َعاشَ يُوسُفَ لِيَرَى أبْناءَ أفْرايِمَ وَأحفادَهُ. وَنُسِبَ أبْناءُ ماكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى إلَى يُوسُفَ. موتُ يُوسُف

and Joseph looketh on Ephraim's sons of the third; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.

24 و َقالَ يُوسُفُ لإخوَتِهِ: «أنا أحتَضِرُ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ سَيَهْتَمُّ بِكُمْ وَسَيُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ هَذَهِ الأرْضِ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدَ بِها إبْراهِيمَ وَإسْحاقَ وَيَعقُوبَ.»

And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I am dying, and God doth certainly inspect you, and hath caused you to go up from this land, unto the land which He hath sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'

25 و َاسْتَحلَفَ يُوسُفُ أبْناءَ إسْرائِيلَ وَقالَ: «عِندَما يَأْتِي اللهُ إلَيكُمْ وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ، احمِلُوا عِظامِي مِنْ هُنا.»

And Joseph causeth the sons of Israel to swear, saying, `God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones from this.'

26 و َماتَ يُوسُفُ بَعْدَ أنْ عاشَ مِئَةً وَعَشَرَ سَنَواتٍ. فَحَنَّطُوهُ وَوَضَعُوهُ فِي تابُوتٍ فِي مِصْرَ.

And Joseph dieth, a son of an hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.
