¹¹ At nakikipagsalitaan ang Panginoon kay Moises ng mukhaan, gaya ng isang taong nakikipagsalitaan sa kaniyang kaibigan. At siya'y bumabalik uli sa kampamento, datapuwa't ang kaniyang tagapangasiwang si Josue, na anak ni Nun, na may kabataan pa, ay hindi umaalis sa Tolda.

¹ At yumakap si Jose sa mukha ng kaniyang ama, at umiyak sa ibabaw niya, at hinalikan niya siya.

² At iniutos ni Jose sa kaniyang mga lingkod na manggagamot, na embalsamahin ang kaniyang ama: at inembalsama ng mga manggagamot si Israel.

³ At apat na pung araw ang ginanap sa kaniya; sapagka't gayon ginaganap ang mga araw ng pagembalsama; at tinangisan siya ng mga Egipcio ng pitong pung araw.

⁴ At nang makaraan ang mga araw ng pagiyak sa kaniya ay nagsalita si Jose sa sangbahayan ni Faraon, na sinasabi, Kung ngayo'y nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa inyong mga mata ay salitain ninyo, isinasamo ko sa inyo, sa mga pakinig ni Faraon, na inyong sabihin,

⁵ Pinanumpa ako ng ama ko, na sinasabi, Narito, ako'y namamatay: sa libingan na aking hinukay sa akin sa lupain ng Canaan, ay doon mo ako ililibing. Ngayon nga'y pahintulutan ninyo akong umahon, isinasamo ko sa inyo, at aking ilibing ang aking ama, at babalik uli ako.

⁶ At sinabi ni Faraon, Umahon ka, at ilibing mo ang iyong ama, ayon sa kaniyang ipinasumpa sa iyo.

⁷ At umahon si Jose upang ilibing ang kaniyang ama: at kasama niyang umahon ang lahat ng lingkod ni Faraon, ang mga matanda sa kaniyang sangbahayan, at ang lahat na matanda sa lupain ng Egipto;

⁸ At ang buong sangbahayan ni Jose, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama: ang kanila lamang mga bata, at ang kanilang mga kawan, at ang kanilang bakahan, ang iniwan nila sa lupain ng Gosen.

⁹ At umahong kasama niya ang mga karro at mga nangangabayo: at yao'y naging totoong malaking pulutong.

¹⁰ At sila'y dumating sa giikan ni Atad, na nasa dako pa roon ng Jordan, at doo'y nanaghoy sila ng malakas at kapaitpait na panaghoy: at kaniyang pinanangisan ang kaniyang ama na pitong araw.

¹¹ At nang makita ng mga nananahan sa lupaing yaon, ng mga Cananeo, ang panaghoy sa giikan ni Atad, ay kanilang sinabi, Ito'y isang kahambalhambal na panaghoy ng mga Egipcio kaya't ang pangalang itinawag ay Abel-mizraim, nasa dako pa roon ng Jordan.

¹² At ginawa sa kaniya ng kaniyang mga anak ang ayon sa iniutos sa kanila.

¹³ Sapagka't dinala siya ng kaniyang mga anak sa lupain ng Canaan, at inilibing siya sa yungib ng Machpela, na binili ni Abraham sangpu ng parang na pinakaaring libingan, kay Ephron na Hetheo, sa tapat ng Mamre.

¹⁴ At bumalik si Jose sa Egipto, siya, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang lahat na umahong kasama niya sa paglilibing sa kaniyang ama, pagkatapos na mailibing ang kaniyang ama.

¹⁵ At nang makita ng mga kapatid ni Jose, na ang kanilang ama'y namatay, ay kanilang sinabi, Marahil si Jose ay mapopoot sa atin, at lubos na gagantihin sa atin ang buong kasamaan na ating ginawa sa kaniya.

¹⁶ At ipinasabi nila kay Jose, Iniutos ng iyong ama bago namatay, na sinasabi,

¹⁷ Ganito sasabihin ninyo kay Jose. Ipatawad mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo ngayon, ang pagsalangsang ng iyong mga kapatid, at ang kanilang kasalanan; at ngayon, ay aming isinasamo sa iyo, na ipatawad mo ang mga pagsalangsang ng mga lingkod ng Dios ng iyong ama. At si Jose ay umiyak ng kanilang salitain sa kaniya.

¹⁸ At naparoon ang kaniyang mga kapatid naman at nagpatirapa sa harap niya; at kanilang sinabi, Narito, kaming iyong mga lingkod.

¹⁹ At sinabi ni Jose sa kanila, Huwag kayong matakot, sapagka't nasa kalagayan ba ako ng Dios?

²⁰ At tungkol sa inyo ay inyong ipinalagay na kasamaan laban sa akin; nguni't ipinalagay ng Dios na kabutihan upang mangyari ang gaya sa araw na ito, na iligtas ang buhay ng maraming tao.

²¹ Kaya nga huwag kayong matakot: aking pakakanin kayo at ang inyong mga bata. At kaniyang inaliw sila at kaniyang pinagsalitaan sila na may kagandahang loob.

²² At si Jose ay tumahan sa Egipto, siya at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama: at si Jose ay nabuhay na isang daan at sangpung taon.

²³ At nakita ni Jose ang mga anak ni Ephraim hanggang sa ikatlong salin ng lahi; ang mga anak man ni Machir na anak ni Manases ay ipinanganak sa mga tuhod ni Jose.

²⁴ At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid: Ako'y namamatay: nguni't tunay na dadalawin kayo ng Dios, at dadalhin kayo mula sa lupaing ito hanggang sa lupain na kaniyang isinumpa kay Abraham, kay Isaac at kay Jacob.

²⁵ At ipinasumpa ni Jose sa mga anak ni Israel, na sinasabi, Tunay na dadalawin kayo ng Dios, at inyong iaahon ang aking mga buto mula rito.

²⁶ Sa gayo'y namatay si Jose na may isang daan at sangpung taon: at kanilang inembalsama siya, at siya'y inilagay sa isang kabaong sa Egipto.

¹ It happened at that time, that Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

² Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. He took her, and went in to her.

³ She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.

⁴ She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.

⁵ She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.

⁶ Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

⁷ Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yahweh. Yahweh killed him.

⁸ Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her, and raise up seed to your brother."

⁹ Onan knew that the seed wouldn't be his; and it happened, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.

¹⁰ The thing which he did was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he killed him also.

¹¹ Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, "Remain a widow in your father's house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;" for he said, "Lest he also die, like his brothers." Tamar went and lived in her father's house.

¹² After many days, Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.

¹³ It was told Tamar, saying, "Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."

¹⁴ She took off of her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn't given to him as a wife.

¹⁵ When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.

¹⁶ He turned to her by the way, and said, "Please come, let me come in to you," for he didn't know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

¹⁷ He said, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, "Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?"

¹⁸ He said, "What pledge will I give you?" She said, "Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.

¹⁹ She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

²⁰ Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, but he didn't find her.

²¹ Then he asked the men of her place, saying, "Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute here."

²² He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'"

²³ Judah said, "Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven't found her."

²⁴ It happened about three months later, that it was told Judah, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her forth, and let her be burnt."

²⁵ When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man, whose these are, I am with child." She also said, "Please discern whose are these--the signet, and the cords, and the staff."

²⁶ Judah acknowledged them, and said, "She is more righteous than I, because I didn't give her to Shelah, my son." He knew her again no more.

²⁷ It happened in the time of her travail, that behold, twins were in her womb.

²⁸ When she travailed, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, "This came out first."

²⁹ It happened, as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out, and she said, "Why have you made a breach for yourself?" Therefore his name was called Perez.

³⁰ Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
