1 And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. 2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 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 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 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 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
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 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 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. 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 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 Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan. 12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them: 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 ¶ 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.
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 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 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 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 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 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
22 ¶ And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. 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 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 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 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
1 Un Jāzeps metās pie sava tēva vaiga, raudāja pie viņa un skūpstīja viņu. 2 Jāzeps pavēlēja saviem kalpiem dziedniekiem iebalzamēt savu tēvu, un dziednieki iebalzamēja Israēlu. 3 Pagāja četrdesmit dienas, jo tik ilgi noritēja balzamēšana. Tad ēģiptieši viņu apraudāja septiņdesmit dienas. 4 Kad apraudāšana beidzās, Jāzeps runāja ar faraona namu un teica: “Kaut jel es gūtu jūsu vēlību! – Sakiet jel faraonam: 5 mans tēvs mani nozvērināja, sacīdams: redzi – es mirstu! Manā kapā, ko es sev izcirtu Kanaāna zemē, – tur apglabā mani! Ļauj jel man tagad iet un apglabāt tēvu, un es atkal atgriezīšos!” 6 Faraons teica: “Ej un apglabā savu tēvu, kā tu esi zvērējis!” 7 Un Jāzeps devās apglabāt savu tēvu, un kopā ar viņu devās visi faraona kalpi, viņa nama vecajie, un visi Ēģiptes zemes vecajie. 8 Arī viss Jāzepa nams un viņa brāļi, un viņa tēva nams – tie atstāja Gošenes zemē tikai savus mazuļus, avis un vēršus. 9 Un kopā ar viņu devās gan rati, gan jātnieki – tas bija varens pulks! 10 Viņi atnāca līdz Goren-Ātādai, kas viņpus Jardānas, un tur viņi jo gauži un stipri viņu apraudāja. Savam tēvam viņš rīkoja sēras septiņas dienas! 11 Tās zemes iemītnieki kanaānieši redzēja sēras Goren-Ātādā un teica: “Ēģiptiešiem šīs ir lielas sēras!” – tādēļ to vietu nosauca vārdā Ābel-Micraima , tā ir viņpus Jardānas. 12 Un viņa dēli darīja, kā viņš tiem bija pavēlējis. 13 Viņa dēli aiznesa viņu uz Kanaāna zemi un apglabāja Mahpēlas lauka alā, kuru kopā ar lauku sev par kapavietu Ābrahāms bija nopircis no hetieša Efrona, tā ir uz Mamres pusi. 14 Pēc tam kad Jāzeps bija apglabājis savu tēvu, tas atgriezās Ēģiptē – viņš un viņa brāļi, un visi, kuri kopā ar viņu bija devušies apglabāt viņa tēvu.
Jāzeps piedod brāļiem
15 Kad Jāzepa brāļi saprata, ka viņu tēvs ir miris, viņi runāja: “Varbūt nu Jāzeps sāks turēt naidu un atdarīt mums visu ļauno, ko mēs viņam esam nodarījuši!” 16 Un viņi lika Jāzepam teikt: “Tavs tēvs pirms nāves pavēlēja, sacīdams: 17 tā sakiet Jāzepam: piedod savu brāļu noziegumu un grēku, kaut viņi tev darījuši ļaunu! Tad nu piedod tava tēva Dieva kalpu noziegumu!” Un Jāzeps raudāja par viņu teikto. 18 Un atnāca arī viņa brāļi, krita viņa priekšā un teica: “Redzi – mēs tavi vergi!” 19 Bet Jāzeps tiem teica: “Nebaidieties! Vai es Dieva vietā?! 20 Kad jūs domājāt pret mani ļaunu, Dievs to domāja par labu, lai darītu kā šodien – liktu dzīvot lielai tautai! 21 Un tagad – nebaidieties! Es apgādāšu jūs un jūsu mazuļus!” – un viņš tos nomierināja un runāja tiem pa prātam.
Jāzepa nāve
(Ebr 11:22)22 Jāzeps dzīvoja Ēģiptē – viņš un viņa tēva nams. Jāzeps nodzīvoja simts desmit gadu. 23 Jāzeps vēl redzēja Efraima dēlus trešajā augumā, arī Manases dēla Māhīra dēli piedzima Jāzepam uz ceļgaliem. 24 Un Jāzeps teica saviem brāļiem: “Es nu mirstu, bet Dievs jūs nepametīs un no šīs zemes aizvedīs uz zemi, par kuru viņš ir zvērējis Ābrahāmam, Īzakam un Jēkabam!” 25 Un Jāzeps nozvērināja Israēla dēlus: “Dievs jūs nepametīs, un jūs aizvedīsiet manus kaulus no šejienes!” 26 Un Jāzeps nomira simts desmit gadu vecs, un tie viņu iebalzamēja un ielika viņu šķirstā Ēģiptē.
