50 Ginhakos dayon ni Jose ang iya amay kag ginhalukan nga nagahibi. Dayon ginsugo niya ang iya mga manugbalsamar nga balsamaron ang iya amay. Gani ginbalsamar nila siya. Ang kalawigon sang pagbalsamar sa iya 40 ka adlaw, suno sa kinaandan sang mga taga-Egipto. Nagpangasubo ang mga Egiptohanon para kay Jacob sa sulod sang 70 ka adlaw.

Sang matapos ang ila pagpangasubo, nagsiling si Jose sa mga opisyal sang hari sang Egipto, “Kon mahimo hambala ninyo ang hari nga tugutan niya ako nga ilubong ko ang akon amay sa Canaan. Kay antes siya mapatay, ginpasumpa niya ako nga ilubong ko siya sa lulubngan nga iya ginpahimo sa Canaan. Pagkatapos lubong mabalik man dayon ako.” Pagkahibalo sang hari, nagsiling siya kay Jose, “Tumana ang imo ginsumpa sa imo amay. Lakat ka kag ilubong siya.”

Gani naglakat si Jose kaupod ang madamo nga mga opisyal sang hari: ang mga manugdumala sang palasyo kag ang mga manugdumala sang Egipto. Kaupod man ang panimalay ni Jose kag ang panimalay sang iya mga utod, ang bilog nga panimalay ni Jacob. Ang nabilin sa Goshen amo lang ang ila magagmay nga mga kabataan kag ang ila mga kasapatan. Kaupod man nila ang mga karwahe kag mga manugkabayo. Madamo gid sila.

10 Pag-abot nila sa linasan sa Atad, malapit sa Suba sang Jordan, nagpangasubo sila didto para kay Jacob kag puwerte gid ang ila paghibi. Nagpangasubo si Jose sing pito ka adlaw para sa iya amay. 11 Pagkakita sang mga Canaanhon sang ila pagpangasubo sa may linasan sa Atad, nagsiling sila, “Puwerte gid ang pagpangasubo sang mga Egiptohanon.” Gani ato nga lugar nga malapit sa Suba sang Jordan gintawag nga Abel Mizraim.[a]

12 Gintuman sang mga anak ni Jacob ang iya ginbilin sa ila. 13 Kay gindala nila ang iya bangkay sa Canaan kag ginlubong sa kuweba nga ara sa uma sa Macpela, sa sidlangan sang Mamre. Ginbakal ni Abraham ang ini nga uma kay Efron nga Hithanon para himuon nga lulubngan. 14 Pagkatapos sang lubong, nagbalik si Jose sa Egipto upod ang iya mga utod kag ang tanan nga nag-upod sa paglubong.

Nagpasalig si Jose sa Iya mga Utod

15 Karon nga patay na ang ila amay, nagsiling ang mga utod ni Jose, “Basi nagadumot pa si Jose sa aton kag balusan niya kita sa ginhimo naton sa iya.” 16 Gani nagpadala sila sang mensahi kay Jose nga nagasiling, “Nagbilin ang aton amay antes siya mapatay 17 nga hambalon ka nga patawaron mo kami sa malain nga ginhimo namon sa imo. Gani karon, kabay pa nga patawaron mo kami nga alagad man sang Dios sang aton amay.” Sang makaabot ang ila mensahi kay Jose, naghibi siya.

18 Sang ulihi nagkadto mismo ang iya mga utod sa iya. Pag-abot nila, nagluhod sila sa iya atubangan bilang pagtahod. Dayon nagsiling sila, “Handa kami nga mangin ulipon mo.” 19 Pero nagsabat si Jose sa ila, “Indi kamo magkahadlok. Dios bala ako para magsilot sa inyo? 20 Matuod nga nagplano kamo sang malain sa akon, pero ginplano na sang Dios nga magaresulta ato sang kaayuhan nga amo ang pagluwas subong sang madamo nga tawo sa gutom. 21 Gani indi kamo magkahadlok. Sustentuhan ko kamo sang pagkaon pati ang inyo mga kabataan.” Ginpasalig sila ni Jose kag napahamtang ang ila balatyagon.

Ang Pagkapatay ni Jose

22 Nagtiner si Jose sa Egipto upod ang bug-os nga panimalay sang iya amay. Nagkabuhi siya sing 110 ka tuig, 23 kag iya pa nakita ang iya mga apo sa tuhod sa iya anak nga si Efraim kag sa iya apo nga si Makir nga anak ni Manase. Ginkabig niya bilang kaugalingon nga anak ang mga anak ni Makir.

24 Karon, nagsiling si Jose sa iya mga paryente, “Madali na lang ako mapatay, pero indi gid kamo pagpabay-an sang Dios. Kuhaon niya kamo sa sini nga lugar kag dal-on sa lugar nga iya ginpromisa kay Abraham, Isaac kag Jacob.” 25 Dayon ginpasumpa ni Jose ang mga Israelinhon. Siling niya, “Ipromisa ninyo nga kon pahalinon na kamo diri sang Dios, dal-on man ninyo ang akon tul-an sa inyo paghalin sa sini nga lugar.”

26 Napatay si Jose sa edad nga 110 ka tuig. Ginbalsamar siya kag ginbutang sa lungon didto sa Egipto.

  1. 50:11 Abel Mizraim: buot silingon, pagpangasubo sang mga Egiptohanon.

50 Joseph threw himself on his father and wept over him and kissed him.(A) Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So the physicians embalmed him,(B) taking a full forty days, for that was the time required for embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.(C)

When the days of mourning(D) had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court,(E) “If I have found favor in your eyes,(F) speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, ‘My father made me swear an oath(G) and said, “I am about to die;(H) bury me in the tomb I dug for myself(I) in the land of Canaan.”(J) Now let me go up and bury my father;(K) then I will return.’”

Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”

So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials(L) accompanied him—the dignitaries of his court(M) and all the dignitaries of Egypt— besides all the members of Joseph’s household and his brothers and those belonging to his father’s household.(N) Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen.(O) Chariots(P) and horsemen[a] also went up with him. It was a very large company.

10 When they reached the threshing floor(Q) of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly;(R) and there Joseph observed a seven-day period(S) of mourning(T) for his father.(U) 11 When the Canaanites(V) who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning.”(W) That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.[b]

12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them:(X) 13 They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah,(Y) near Mamre,(Z) which Abraham had bought along with the field(AA) as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite.(AB) 14 After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.(AC)

Joseph Reassures His Brothers

15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge(AD) against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”(AE) 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions(AF) before he died: 17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins(AG) and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’(AH) Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.(AI)” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.(AJ)

18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him.(AK) “We are your slaves,”(AL) they said.

19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?(AM) 20 You intended to harm me,(AN) but God intended(AO) it for good(AP) to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.(AQ) 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.(AR)” And he reassured them and spoke kindly(AS) to them.

The Death of Joseph

22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived a hundred and ten years(AT) 23 and saw the third generation(AU) of Ephraim’s(AV) children.(AW) Also the children of Makir(AX) son of Manasseh(AY) were placed at birth on Joseph’s knees.[c](AZ)

24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die.(BA) But God will surely come to your aid(BB) and take you up out of this land to the land(BC) he promised on oath to Abraham,(BD) Isaac(BE) and Jacob.”(BF) 25 And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath(BG) and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones(BH) up from this place.”(BI)

26 So Joseph died(BJ) at the age of a hundred and ten.(BK) And after they embalmed him,(BL) he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.

50 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

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.

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,

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.

And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

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,

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.

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 Abelmizraim, 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.
