47:28And Yaakov (Jacob) lived in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) seventeen years; so the days of Yaakov, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty and seven years.

Vayeḥi Ya'akov be'eretz Mitzrayim sheva esreh shanah vayehi yemei-Ya'akov shenei ḥayav sheva shanim ve'arba'im ume'at shanah.

47:29And the time drew near that Yisrael (Israel) must die; and he called his son Yosef (Joseph), and said unto him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: do not bury me, I pray you, in Mitzrayim;

Vayikrevu yemei-Yisra'el lamut vayikra livno leYosef vayomer lo im-na matzati ḥen be'eineḥa sim-na yadeḥa taḥat yereḥi ve'asita imadi ḥesed ve'emet al-na tikbereni beMitzrayim.

47:30but I will lie with my fathers, and you shall carry me out of Mitzrayim, and bury me in their burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.”

Veshaḥavti im-avotay unesatani miMitzrayim ukevartani bikvuratam vayomar anoḥi e'eseh ḥidvareḥa.

לוְשָֽׁכַבְתִּי֙ עִם־אֲבֹתַ֔י וּנְשָׂאתַ֨נִי֙ מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם וּקְבַרְתַּ֖נִי בִּקְבֻֽרָתָ֑ם וַיֹּאמַ֕ר אָֽנֹכִ֖י אֶעֱשֶׂ֥ה כִדְבָרֶֽךָ׃

47:31And he said, “Swear unto me.” And he swore unto him. And Yisrael bowed himself upon the head of the bed.

Vayomer hishav'ah li vayishava lo vayishtaḥu Yisra'el al-rosh hamitah.

לאוַיֹּ֗אמֶר הִשָּֽׁבְעָה֙ לִ֔י וַיִּשָּׁבַ֖ע ל֑וֹ וַיִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הַמִּטָּֽה׃

48:1And it came to pass after these things, that one said to Yosef, “Behold, your father is sick”; and he took with him his two sons, Menasheh (Manasseh) and Efrayim (Ephraim).

Vayehi aḥarei hadevarim ha'eleh vayomer leYosef hineh aviḥa ḥoleh vayikaḥ et-shenei vanav imo et-Menasheh ve'et-Efrayim.

אוַיְהִ֗י אַֽחֲרֵי֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְיוֹסֵ֔ף הִנֵּ֥ה אָבִ֖יךָ חֹלֶ֑ה וַיִּקַּ֞ח אֶת־שְׁנֵ֤י בָנָיו֙ עִמּ֔וֹ אֶת־מְנַשֶּׁ֖ה וְאֶת־אֶפְרָֽיִם׃

48:2And one told Yaakov, and said, “Behold, your son Yosef is coming unto you”; and Yisrael strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.

Vayaged leYa'akov vayomer hineh binḥa Yosef ba eleḥa vayitḥazek Yisra'el vayeshev al-hamitah.

48:3And Yaakov said unto Yosef, “God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Kena’an (Canaan), and blessed me,

Vayomer Ya'akov el-Yosef El Shadai nir'ah-elay beLuz be'eretz Kena'an vayevareḥ oti.

48:4and said unto me, Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of peoples; and I will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.

Vayomer elay hineni mafreḥa vehirbitiḥa unetatiḥa likhal amim venatati et-ha'aretz hazot lezar'aḥa aḥareḥa aḥuzat olam.

48:5And now your two sons, who were born unto you in the land of Mitzrayim before I came unto you into Mitzrayim, are mine; Efrayim and Menasheh, as Reuven (Reuben) and Shimon (Simeon), shall be mine.

Ve'atah shenei-vaneḥa hanoladim leḥa be'eretz Mitzrayim ad-bo'i eleḥa Mitzraymah li-hem Efrayim uMenasheh kiRe'uven veShim'on yihyu-li.

48:6And your offspring, whom you beget after them, shall be yours; they shall be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

Umoladteḥa asher-holadta aḥareihem leḥa yihyu al shem aḥeihem yikare'u benaḥalatam.

48:7And as for me, when I came from Paddan (Padan), Rachel died by me in the land of Kena’an on the way, when there was still some way to come unto Efrat (Ephrath); and I buried her there on the way to Efrat, which is Beit-Lechem (Bethlehem).”

Va'ani bevo'i miPadan metah alay Raḥel be'eretz Kena'an badereḥ be'od kivrat-eretz lavo Efratah va'ekbereha sham bedereḥ Efrat hi Beit Laḥem.

48:8And Yisrael saw Yosef’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”

Vayar Yisra'el et-benei Yosef vayomer mi-eleh.

חוַיַּ֥רְא יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יוֹסֵ֑ף וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מִי־אֵֽלֶּה׃

48:9And Yosef said unto his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” And he said, “Bring them, I pray you, unto me, and I will bless them.”

Vayomer Yosef el-aviv banay hem asher-natan-li Elohim bazeh vayomar kaḥem-na elay va'avaraḥem.

טוַיֹּ֤אמֶר יוֹסֵף֙ אֶל־אָבִ֔יו בָּנַ֣י הֵ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־נָֽתַן־לִ֥י אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּזֶ֑ה וַיֹּאמַ֕ר קָֽחֶם־נָ֥א אֵלַ֖י וַֽאֲבָֽרֲכֵֽם׃

48:10Now the eyes of Yisrael were heavy with age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.

Ve'einei Yisra'el kavdu mizoken lo yuḥal lir'ot vayagesh otam elav vayishak lahem vayeḥabek lahem.

יוְעֵינֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ כָּֽבְד֣וּ מִזֹּ֔קֶן לֹ֥א יוּכַ֖ל לִרְא֑וֹת וַיַּגֵּ֤שׁ אֹתָם֙ אֵלָ֔יו וַיִּשַּׁ֥ק לָהֶ֖ם וַיְחַבֵּ֥ק לָהֶֽם׃

48:11And Yisrael said unto Yosef, “I did not think to see your face; and, behold, God has shown me your seed also.”

Vayomer Yisra'el el-Yosef re'oh faneḥa lo filalti vehineh her'ah oti Elohim gam et-zar'eḥa.

יאוַיֹּ֤אמֶר יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֔ף רְאֹ֥ה פָנֶ֖יךָ לֹ֣א פִלָּ֑לְתִּי וְהִנֵּ֨ה הֶרְאָ֥ה אֹתִ֛י אֱלֹהִ֖ים גַּ֥ם אֶת־זַרְעֶֽךָ׃

48:12And Yosef brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth.

Vayotze Yosef otam me'im birkav vayishtaḥu le'apav aretzah.

יבוַיּוֹצֵ֥א יוֹסֵ֛ף אֹתָ֖ם מֵעִ֣ם בִּרְכָּ֑יו וַיִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ לְאַפָּ֖יו אָֽרְצָה׃

48:13And Yosef took them both, Efrayim in his right hand toward Yisrael’s left hand, and Menasheh in his left hand toward Yisrael’s right hand, and brought them near unto him.

Vayikaḥ Yosef et-sheneihem et-Efrayim bimino misemol Yisra'el ve'et-Menasheh vismolo mimin Yisra'el vayagesh elav.

יגוַיִּקַּ֣ח יוֹסֵף֘ אֶת־שְׁנֵיהֶם֒ אֶת־אֶפְרַ֤יִם בִּֽימִינוֹ֙ מִשְּׂמֹ֣אל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־מְנַשֶּׁ֥ה בִשְׂמֹאל֖וֹ מִימִ֣ין יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּגֵּ֖שׁ אֵלָֽיו׃

48:14And Yisrael stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Efrayim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Menasheh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly; for Menasheh was the firstborn.

Vayishlaḥ Yisra'el et-yemino vayashet al-rosh Efrayim vehu hatza'ir ve'et-semolo al-rosh Menasheh sikel et-yadav ki Menasheh habeḥor.

ידוַיִּשְׁלַח֩ יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל אֶת־יְמִינ֜וֹ וַיָּ֨שֶׁת עַל־רֹ֤אשׁ אֶפְרַ֨יִם֙ וְה֣וּא הַצָּעִ֔יר וְאֶת־שְׂמֹאל֖וֹ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה שִׂכֵּל֙ אֶת־יָדָ֔יו כִּ֥י מְנַשֶּׁ֖ה הַבְּכֽוֹר׃

48:15And he blessed Yosef, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Avraham (Abraham) and Yitzchak (Isaac) walked, the God who has fed me all my life long unto this day,

Vayevareḥ et-Yosef vayomar ha'Elohim asher hithaleḥu avotay lefanav Avraham veYitzḥak ha'Elohim haro'eh oti me'odi ad-hayom hazeh.

48:16the angel who redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Avraham and Yitzchak; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”

Hamal'aḥ hago'el oti mikol-ra yevareḥ et-hane'arim veyikare vahem shemi veshem avotay Avraham veYitzḥak veyidgu larov bekerev ha'aretz.

48:17And when Yosef saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Efrayim, it displeased him; and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Efrayim’s head unto Menasheh’s head.

Vayar Yosef ki-yashit aviv yad-yemino al-rosh Efrayim vayera be'einav vayitmoḥ yad-aviv lehasir otah me'al rosh-Efrayim al-rosh Menasheh.

48:18And Yosef said unto his father, “Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn; put your right hand upon his head.”

Vayomer Yosef el-aviv lo-ḥen avi ki-zeh habeḥor sim yemineḥa al-rosho.

יחוַיֹּ֧אמֶר יוֹסֵ֛ף אֶל־אָבִ֖יו לֹא־כֵ֣ן אָבִ֑י כִּי־זֶ֣ה הַבְּכֹ֔ר שִׂ֥ים יְמִֽינְךָ֖ עַל־רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃

48:19And his father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.”

Vayema'en aviv vayomer yada'ti veni yada'ti gam-hu yihyeh-le'am vegam-hu yigdal ve'ulam aḥiv hakaton yigdal mimenu vezar'o yihyeh melo-hagoyim.

48:20And he blessed them that day, saying, “By you shall Yisrael bless, saying, God make you as Efrayim and as Menasheh.” And he set Efrayim before Menasheh.

Vayevaraḥem bayom hahu lemor beḥa yevareḥ Yisra'el lemor yesimḥa Elohim ke'Efrayim veḥiMnasheh vayasem et-Efrayim lifnei Menasheh.

48:21And Yisrael said unto Yosef, “Behold, I die; but God will be with you, and bring you back unto the land of your fathers.

Vayomer Yisra'el el-Yosef hineh anoḥi met vehayah Elohim imaḥem veheshiv etḥem el-eretz avoteiḥem.

48:22Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Emori (Amorite) with my sword and with my bow.”

Va'ani natati leḥa sheḥem aḥad al-aḥeḥa asher lakaḥti miyad ha'Emori beḥarbi uvekashti.

49:1And Yaakov called unto his sons, and said, “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.

Vayikra Ya'akov el-banav vayomer he'asefu ve'agidah laḥem et asher-yikra etḥem be'aḥarit hayamim.

49:2Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Yaakov; and listen unto Yisrael your father.

Hikavetzu veshim'u benei Ya'akov veshim'u el-Yisra'el aviḥem.

49:3Reuven, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength; the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power.

Re'uven beḥori atah koḥi vereshit oni yeter se'et veyeter az.

49:4Unstable as water, you shall not excel; because you went up to your father’s bed; then you defiled it: he went up to my couch.

Paḥaz kamayim al-totar ki alita mishkevei aviḥa az ḥilalta yetzu'i alah.

49:5Shimon and Levi are brothers; instruments of cruelty are in their dwellings.

Shim'on veLevi aḥim kelei ḥamas meḥeroteihem.

השִׁמְע֥וֹן וְלֵוִ֖י אַחִ֑ים כְּלֵ֥י חָמָ֖ס מְכֵרֹֽתֵיהֶֽם׃

49:6O my soul, do not come into their council; unto their assembly, my honor, do not be united; for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they dug down a wall.

Besodam al-tavo nafshi bikhalam al-teḥad kevodi ki ve'apam haregu ish uvirtzonam ikeru-shor.

49:7Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel; I will divide them in Yaakov, and scatter them in Yisrael.

Arur apam ki az ve'evratam ki kashatah aḥalekem beYa'akov va'afitzem beYisra'el.

49:8Yehudah (Judah), you are he whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s children shall bow down before you.

Yehudah atah yoduḥa aḥeḥa yadeḥa be'oref oyeveḥa yishtaḥavu leḥa benei aviḥa.

49:9Yehudah is a lion’s whelp; from the prey, my son, you have gone up; he stooped down, he crouched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

Gur aryeh Yehudah miteref beni alita kara ravatz ke'aryeh uḥelavi mi yekimenu.

49:10The scepter shall not depart from Yehudah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and unto him shall the gathering of the peoples be.

49:11Binding his foal unto the vine, and his donkey’s colt unto the choice vine; he washes his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes;

Osri lagefen iro velasrekah beni atono kibes bayayin levusho uvedam-anavim suto.

49:13Zevulun (Zebulun) shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be a haven for ships; and his border shall be unto Tzidon (Zidon).

49:14Yissachar (Issachar) is a strong donkey, lying down between two burdens;

Yisaḥar ḥamor garem rovetz bein hamishpetayim.

ידיִשָּׂשכָ֖ר חֲמֹ֣ר גָּ֑רֶם רֹבֵ֖ץ בֵּ֥ין הַמִּשְׁפְּתָֽיִם׃

49:15and he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under tribute.

Vayar menuḥah ki tov ve'et-ha'aretz ki na'emah vayet shiḥmo lisbol vayehi lemas-oved.

49:16Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Yisrael.

Dan yadin amo ke'aḥad shivtei Yisra'el.

49:17Dan shall be a serpent by the way, a viper in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward.

49:22Yosef is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well, whose branches run over the wall.

Ben porat Yosef ben porat alei-ayin banot tza'adah alei-shur.

49:23The archers have bitterly grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him;

49:24but his bow remained firm, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Yaakov; from there is the shepherd, the stone of Yisrael;

49:26The blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Yosef, and on the crown of the head of him that was set apart from his brothers.

49:28All these are the twelve tribes of Yisrael; and this is what their father spoke unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

49:29And he charged them, and said unto them, “I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Efron (Ephron) the Chitti (Hittite),

49:33And when Yaakov had finished commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and breathed his last, and was gathered unto his people.

50:1And Yosef fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

Vayipol Yosef al-penei aviv vayevk alav vayishak-lo.

אוַיִּפֹּ֥ל יוֹסֵ֖ף עַל־פְּנֵ֣י אָבִ֑יו וַיֵּ֥בְךְּ עָלָ֖יו וַיִּשַּׁק־לֽוֹ׃

50:2And Yosef commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Yisrael.

Vayetzav Yosef et-avadav et-harofe'im laḥanot et-aviv vayaḥantu harofe'im et-Yisra'el.

50:3And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming; and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

Vayimle'u-lo arba'im yom ki ken yimle'u yemei haḥanutim vayivku oto Mitzrayim shiv'im yom.

50:4And when the days of his mourning were past, Yosef spoke unto the house of Par’oh (Pharaoh), saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Par’oh, saying,

Vaya'avru yemei veḥito vayedaber Yosef el-beit Par'oh lemor im-na matzati ḥen be'eineiḥem daberu-na be'oznei Far'oh lemor.

50:5My father made me swear, saying, Behold, I die; in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Kena’an, there you shall bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray you, and bury my father, and I will come back.”

50:6And Par’oh said, “Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear.”

Vayomer Par'oh aleh ukevor et-aviḥa ka'asher hishbi'eḥa.

ווַיֹּ֖אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֑ה עֲלֵ֛ה וּקְבֹ֥ר אֶת־אָבִ֖יךָ כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר הִשְׁבִּיעֶֽךָ׃

50:7And Yosef went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Par’oh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Mitzrayim,

Vaya'al Yosef likbor et-aviv vaya'alu ito kol-avdei Far'oh ziknei veito veḥol ziknei eretz-Mitzrayim.

50:8and all the house of Yosef, and his brothers, and his father’s house; only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

Veḥol beit Yosef ve'eḥav uveit aviv rak tapam vetzonam uvekaram azvu be'eretz Goshen.

50:9And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company.

Vaya'al imo gam-reḥev gam-parashim vayehi hamaḥaneh kaved me'od.

טוַיַּ֣עַל עִמּ֔וֹ גַּם־רֶ֖כֶב גַּם־פָּֽרָשִׁ֑ים וַיְהִ֥י הַמַּֽחֲנֶ֖ה כָּבֵ֥ד מְאֹֽד׃

50:10And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Yarden (Jordan), and there they mourned with a great and very heavy lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

Vayavo'u ad-Goren ha'Atad asher be'ever haYarden vayispedu-sham misped gadol veḥaved me'od vaya'as le'aviv evel shiv'at yamim.

50:11And when the inhabitants of the land, the Kena’ani (Canaanites), saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians”; therefore its name was called Avel Mitzrayim (Abel-mizraim), which is beyond the Yarden.

Vayar yoshev ha'aretz haKena'ani et-ha'evel beGoren ha'Atad vayomeru evel-kaved zeh leMitzrayim al-ken kara shemah Avel Mitzrayim asher be'ever haYarden.

50:12And his sons did unto him as he commanded them;

Vaya'asu vanav lo ken ka'asher tzivam.

יבוַיַּֽעֲשׂ֥וּ בָנָ֖יו ל֑וֹ כֵּ֖ן כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּֽם׃

50:13for his sons carried him into the land of Kena’an, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Avraham bought with the field for a possession of a burial place from Efron the Chitti, before Mamre.

Vayis'u oto vanav artzah Kena'an vayikberu oto bim'arat sedeh haMaḥpelah asher kanah Avraham et-hasadeh la'aḥuzat-kever me'et Efron haḤiti al-penei Mamre.

50:14And Yosef returned into Mitzrayim, he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

Vayashov Yosef Mitzraymah hu ve'eḥav veḥol-ha'olim ito likbor et-aviv aḥarei kovro et-aviv.

50:15And when Yosef’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Yosef will hate us, and will surely repay us all the evil which we did unto him.”

Vayir'u aḥei-Yosef ki-met avihem vayomeru lu yistemenu Yosef vehashev yashiv lanu et kol-hara'ah asher gamalnu oto.

50:16And they sent a message unto Yosef, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,

Vayetzavu el-Yosef lemor aviḥa tzivah lifnei moto lemor.

טזוַיְצַוּ֕וּ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֖ף לֵאמֹ֑ר אָבִ֣יךָ צִוָּ֔ה לִפְנֵ֥י מוֹת֖וֹ לֵאמֹֽר׃

50:17So shall you say unto Yosef: Forgive, I pray you now, the transgression of your brothers, and their sin, for they did evil unto you. And now, we pray you, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” And Yosef wept when they spoke unto him.

Koh-tomeru leYosef ana sa na pesha aḥeḥa veḥatatam ki-ra'ah gemaluḥa ve'atah sa na lefesha avdei elohei aviḥa vayevk Yosef bedaberam elav.

50:18And his brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

Vayeleḥu gam-eḥav vayipelu lefanav vayomeru hinenu leḥa la'avadim.

50:19And Yosef said unto them, “Do not fear; for am I in the place of God?

Vayomer alehem Yosef al-tira'u ki hataḥat Elohim ani.

יטוַיֹּ֧אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֛ם יוֹסֵ֖ף אַל־תִּירָ֑אוּ כִּ֛י הֲתַ֥חַת אֱלֹהִ֖ים אָֽנִי׃

50:20And as 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.

Ve'atem ḥashavtem alay ra'ah Elohim ḥashavah letovah lema'an asoh kayom hazeh lehaḥayot am-rav.

50:21Now therefore do not fear; I will provide for you, and your little ones.” And he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto them.

Ve'atah al-tira'u anoḥi aḥalkel etḥem ve'et-tapeḥem vayenaḥem otam vayedaber al-libam.

50:22And Yosef dwelt in Mitzrayim, he, and his father’s house; and Yosef lived a hundred and ten years.

Vayeshev Yosef beMitzrayim hu uveit aviv vayeḥi Yosef me'ah va'eser shanim.

50:23And Yosef saw Efrayim’s children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Menasheh were brought up upon Yosef’s knees.

Vayar Yosef le'Efrayim benei shileshim gam benei Maḥir ben-Menasheh yuledu al-birkei Yosef.

50:24And Yosef said unto his brothers, “I die; but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which He swore to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yaakov.”

Vayomer Yosef el-eḥav anoḥi met ve'Elohim pakod yifkod etḥem vehe'elah etḥem min-ha'aretz hazot el-ha'aretz asher nishba le'Avraham leYitzḥak uleYa'akov.

50:25And Yosef made the children of Yisrael swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

Vayashba Yosef et-benei Yisra'el lemor pakod yifkod Elohim etḥem veha'alitem et-atzmotay mizeh.

50:26So Yosef died, being a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Mitzrayim.

Vayamat Yosef ben-me'ah va'eser shanim vayaḥantu oto vayisem ba'aron beMitzrayim.

50:23And Yosef saw Efrayim’s children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Menasheh were brought up upon Yosef’s knees.

Vayar Yosef le'Efrayim benei shileshim gam benei Maḥir ben-Menasheh yuledu al-birkei Yosef.

50:24And Yosef said unto his brothers, “I die; but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which He swore to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yaakov.”

50:26So Yosef died, being a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Mitzrayim.

Vayamat Yosef ben-me'ah va'eser shanim vayaḥantu oto vayisem ba'aron beMitzrayim.

2:1Now the days of David drew near that he should die; and he charged Shlomo (Solomon) his son, saying,

Vayikrevu yemei-David lamut vayetzav et-Shelomoh veno lemor.

אוַיִּקְרְב֥וּ יְמֵֽי־דָוִ֖ד לָמ֑וּת וַיְצַ֛ו אֶת־שְׁלֹמֹ֥ה בְנ֖וֹ לֵאמֹֽר׃

2:3and keep the charge of Hashem your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Torah of Moshe (Moses), that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn;

גוְשָׁמַרְתָּ֞ אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֣רֶת ׀ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ לָלֶ֚כֶת בִּדְרָכָיו֙ לִשְׁמֹ֨ר חֻקֹּתָ֚יו מִצְו‍ֹתָיו֙ וּמִשְׁפָּטָ֣יו וְעֵדְו‍ֹתָ֔יו כַּכָּת֖וּב בְּתוֹרַ֣ת משֶׁ֑ה לְמַ֣עַן תַּשְׂכִּ֗יל אֵ֚ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּֽעֲשֶֹ֔ה וְאֵ֛ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּפְנֶ֖ה שָֽׁם׃

2:4that Hashem may establish His word which He spoke concerning me, saying, If your children take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you, He said, a man on the throne of Yisrael.

Lema'an yakim Adonai et-devaro asher diber alay lemor im-yishmeru vaneḥa et-darkam laleḥet lefanay be'emet beḥol-levavam uveḥol-nafsham lemor lo-yikaret leḥa ish me'al kise Yisra'el.

2:5Moreover you know also what Yoav (Joab) the son of Tzeruyah (Zeruiah) did to me, what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Yisrael, unto Avner (Abner) the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Yeter (Jether), whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

2:6Do therefore according to your wisdom, and let not his gray head go down to Sheol (the grave) in peace.

Ve'asita keḥoḥmateḥa velo-tored seivato beshalom she'ol.

ווְעָשִֹ֖יתָ כְּחָכְמָתֶ֑ךָ וְלֹֽא־תוֹרֵ֧ד שֵׂיבָת֛וֹ בְּשָׁלֹ֖ם שְׁאֹֽל׃

2:7But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gil’adite (Gileadite), and let them be among those that eat at your table; for so they came near to me when I fled from Avshalom (Absalom) your brother.

Velivnei Varzilai haGil'adi ta'aseh-ḥesed vehayu be'oḥelei shulḥaneḥa ki-ḥen karevu elay bevorḥi mipenei Avshalom aḥiḥa.

2:8And, behold, you have with you Shim’i (Shimei) the son of Gera, the Binyaminite of Bachurim (Bahurim), who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Machanayim (Mahanaim); but he came down to meet me at the Yarden (Jordan), and I swore to him by Hashem, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.

2:9Now therefore do not hold him guiltless; for you are a wise man, and you will know what you ought to do unto him; and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.”

Ve'atah al-tenakehu ki ish ḥaḥam atah veyada'ta et asher ta'aseh-lo vehoradta et-seivato bedam she'ol.

2:10So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

Vayishkav David im-avotav vayikaver be'ir David.

2:11And the days that David reigned over Yisrael were forty years: seven years he reigned in Chevron (Hebron), and thirty and three years he reigned in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).

Vehayamim asher malaḥ David al-Yisra'el arba'im shanah beḤevron malaḥ sheva shanim uviRushalayim malaḥ sheloshim veshalosh shanim.
