창세기 50

1요셉이 아비 얼굴에 구푸려 울며 입맞추고 2그 수종 의사에게 명하여 향 재료로 아비의 몸에 넣게 하매 의사가 이스라엘에게 그대로 하되 3사십 일이 걸렸으니 향 재료를 넣는 데는 이 날수가 걸림이며 애굽 사람들은 칠십 일 동안 그를 위하여 곡하였더라 4곡하는 기한이 지나매 요셉이 바로의 궁에 말하여 가로되 내가 너희에게 은혜를 입었으면 청컨대 바로의 귀에 고하기를 5우리 아버지가 나로 맹세하게 하여 이르되 내가 죽거든 가나안 땅에 내가 파서 둔 묘실에 나를 장사하라 하였나니 나로 올라가서 아버지를 장사하게 하소서 내가 다시 오리이다 하라 하였더니 6바로가 가로되 그가 네게 시킨 맹세대로 올라가서 네 아비를 장사하라 7요셉이 자기 아비를 장사하러 올라가니 바로의 모든 신하와 바로 궁의 장로들과 애굽 땅의 모든 장로와 8요셉의 온 집과 그 형제들과 그 아비의 집이 그와 함께 올라가고 그들의 어린 아이들과 양떼와 소떼만 고센 땅에 남겼으며 9병거와 기병이 요셉을 따라 올라가니 그 떼가 심히 컸더라 10그들이 요단 강 건너편 아닷 타작마당에 이르러 거기서 크게 호곡하고 애통하며 요셉이 아비를 위하여 칠 일 동안 애곡하였더니 11그 땅 거민 가나안 백성들이 아닷 마당의 애통을 보고 가로되 이는 애굽 사람의 큰 애통이라 하였으므로 그 땅 이름을 아벨미스라임이라 하였으니 곧 요단 강 건너편이더라 12야곱의 아들들이 부명을 좇아 행하여 13그를 가나안 땅으로 메어다가 마므레 앞 막벨라 밭 굴에 장사하였으니 이는 아브라함이 헷 족속 에브론에게 밭과 함께 사서 소유 매장지를 삼은 곳이더라 14요셉이 아비를 장사한 후에 자기 형제와 호상군과 함께 애굽으로 돌아왔더라 15요셉의 형제들이 그 아비가 죽었음을 보고 말하되 요셉이 혹시 우리를 미워하여 우리가 그에게 행한 모든 악을 다 갚지나 아니할까 하고 16요셉에게 말을 전하여 가로되 당신의 아버지가 돌아가시기 전에 명하여 이르시기를 17너희는 이같이 요셉에게 이르라 네 형들이 네게 악을 행하였을지라도 이제 바라건대 그 허물과 죄를 용서하라 하셨다 하라 하셨나니 당신의 아버지의 하나님의 종들의 죄를 이제 용서하소서 하매 요셉이 그 말을 들을 때에 울었더라 18그 형들이 또 친히 와서 요셉의 앞에 엎드려 가로되 우리는 당신의 종이니이다 19요셉이 그들에게 이르되 두려워 마소서 내가 하나님을 대신하리이까 20당신들은 나를 해하려 하였으나 하나님은 그것을 선으로 바꾸사 오늘과 같이 만민의 생명을 구원하게 하시려 하셨나니 21당신들은 두려워 마소서 내가 당신들과 당신들의 자녀를 기르리이다 하고 그들을 간곡한 말로 위로하였더라 22요셉이 그 아비의 가족과 함께 애굽에 거하여 일백십 세를 살며 23에브라임의 자손 삼대를 보았으며 므낫세의 아들 마길의 아들들도 요셉의 슬하에서 양육되었더라 24요셉이 그 형제에게 이르되 나는 죽으나 하나님이 너희를 권고하시고 너희를 이 땅에서 인도하여 내사 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱에게 맹세하신 땅에 이르게 하시리라 하고 25요셉이 또 이스라엘 자손에게 맹세시켜 이르기를 하나님이 정녕 너희를 권고하시리니 너희는 여기서 내 해골을 메고 올라가겠다 하라 하였더라 26요셉이 일백십 세에 죽으매 그들이 그의 몸에 향 재료를 넣고 애굽에서 입관하였더라

1Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him. 2Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel. 3Forty days were fulfilled for him, for that is how many the days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for him for seventy days. 4When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 5‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’” 6Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.” 7Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt, 8all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. 9There went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company. 10They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days. 11When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan. 12His sons did to him just as he commanded them, 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 burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. 14Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. 15When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all of the evil which we did to him.” 16They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying, 17‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 20As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive. 21Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them. 22Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years. 23Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees. 24Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.” 26So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

1Toen viel Jozef op zijns vaders aangezicht, en hij weende over hem, en kuste hem. 2En Jozef gebood zijn knechten, den medicijnmeesters, dat zij zijn vader balsemen zouden; en de medicijnmeesters balsemden Israel. 3En veertig dagen werden aan hem vervuld; want alzo werden vervuld de dagen dergenen, die gebalsemd werden; en de Egyptenaars beweenden hem zeventig dagen. 4Als nu de dagen zijns bewenens over waren, zo sprak Jozef tot het huis van Farao, zeggende: Indien ik nu genade gevonden heb in uw ogen, spreekt toch voor de oren van Farao, zeggende: 5Mijn vader heeft mij doen zweren, zeggende: Zie, ik sterf; in mijn graf, dat ik mij in het land Kanaan gegraven heb, daar zult gij mij begraven! Nu dan, laat mij toch optrekken, dat ik mijn vader begrave, dan zal ik wederkomen. 6En Farao zeide: Trek op en begraaf uw vader, gelijk als hij u heeft doen zweren. 7En Jozef toog op, om zijn vader te begraven; en met hem togen op alle Farao's knechten, de oudsten van zijn huis, en al de oudsten des lands van Egypte; 8Daartoe het ganse huis van Jozef, en zijn broeders, en het huis zijns vaders; alleen hun kleine kinderen, en hun schapen, en hun runderen lieten zij in het land Gosen. 9En met hem togen op, zo wagenen als ruiteren; en het was een zeer zwaar heir. 10Toen zij nu aan het plein van het doornbos kwamen, dat aan gene zijde van de Jordaan is, hielden zij daar een grote en zeer zware rouwklage; en hij maakte zijn vader een rouw van zeven dagen. 11Als de inwoners des lands, de Kanaanieten, dien rouw zagen op het plein van het doornbos, zo zeiden zij: Dit is een zware rouw der Egyptenaren; daarom noemde men haar naam Abel-Mizraim, die aan het veer van de Jordaan is. 12En zijn zonen deden hem, gelijk als hij hun geboden had; 13Want zijn zonen voerden hem in het land Kanaan, en begroeven hem in de spelonk des akkers van Machpela, welke Abraham met den akker gekocht had tot een erfbegrafenis van Efron, den Hethiet, tegenover Mamre. 14Daarna keerde Jozef weder in Egypte, hij en zijn broeders, en allen, die met hem opgetogen waren, om zijn vader te begraven, nadat hij zijn vader begraven had. 15Toen Jozefs broeders zagen, dat hun vader dood was, zo zeiden zij: Misschien zal ons Jozef haten, en hij zal ons gewisselijk vergelden al het kwaad, dat wij hem aangedaan hebben. 16Daarom ontboden zij aan Jozef, zeggende: Uw vader heeft bevolen voor zijn dood, zeggende: 17Zo zult gij tot Jozef zeggen: Ei, vergeef toch de overtreding uwer broederen, en hun zonde; want zij hebben u kwaad aangedaan; maar nu vergeef toch de overtreding der dienaren van den God uws vaders! En Jozef weende, als zij tot hem spraken. 18Daarna kwamen ook zijn broeders, en vielen voor hem neder, en zeiden: Zie, wij zijn u tot knechten! 19En Jozef zeide tot hen: Vreest niet; want ben ik in de plaats van God? 20Gijlieden wel, gij hebt kwaad tegen mij gedacht; doch God heeft dat ten goede gedacht; opdat Hij deed, gelijk het te dezen dage is, om een groot volk in het leven te behouden. 21Nu dan, vreest niet! Ik zal u en uw kleine kinderen onderhouden. Zo troostte hij hen, en sprak naar hun hart. 22Jozef dan woonde in Egypte, hij en het huis zijns vaders; en Jozef leefde honderd en tien jaren. 23En Jozef zag van Efraim kinderen, van het derde gelid; ook werden de zonen van Machir, den zoon van Manasse, op Jozefs knieen geboren. 24En Jozef zeide tot zijn broederen: Ik sterf; maar God zal u gewisselijk bezoeken, en Hij zal u doen optrekken uit dit land, in het land, hetwelk hij aan Abraham, Izak en Jakob gezworen heeft. 25En Jozef deed de zonen van Israel zweren, zeggende: God zal u gewisselijk bezoeken, zo zult gij mijn beenderen van hier opvoeren! 26En Jozef stierf, honderd en tien jaren oud zijnde; en zij balsemden hem, en men legde hem in een kist in Egypte.
