When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians.” Therefore the place was named Abel-mizraim (mourning of Egypt); it is west of the Jordan. Burial at Machpelah
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.
When the Canaanites who lived in that area saw the grief being poured out at the Atad Threshing Floor, they said, “Look how deeply the Egyptians are mourning.” That is how the site at the Jordan got the name Abel Mizraim (Egyptian Lament). 12-13 Jacob’s sons continued to carry out his instructions to the letter. They took him on into Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah facing Mamre, the field that Abraham had bought as a burial plot from Ephron the Hittite. 14-15 After burying his father, Joseph went back to Egypt. All his brothers who had come with him to bury his father returned with him. After the funeral, Joseph’s brothers talked among themselves: “What if Joseph is carrying a grudge and decides to pay us back for all the wrong we did him?” 16-17 So they sent Joseph a message, “Before his death, your father gave this command: Tell Joseph, ‘Forgive your brothers’ sin—all that wrongdoing. They did treat you very badly.’ Will you do it? Will you forgive the sins of the servants of your father’s God?”When Joseph received their message, he wept.
Now when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at [i]the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a [j]grievous [k]mourning for the Egyptians.” Therefore it was named [l]Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan. Burial at Machpelah
The Canaanites living in that area saw how sad all of them were. They said, “The Egyptians are having a very special service for the dead.” That’s why that place near the Jordan River is called Abel of the Egyptians.
When the Canaanites who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning.” That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.[b]

Die einheimischen Kanaaniter beobachteten sie und staunten: »Seht, wie groß die Trauer der Ägypter ist!« Darum heißt der Ort Abel-Mizrajim (»Trauer der Ägypter«). 12-13 Jakobs Söhne erfüllten den Wunsch ihres Vaters und brachten ihn nach Kanaan. Sie bestatteten ihn in der Höhle bei Machpela, östlich von Mamre, in dem Familiengrab, das Abraham damals von dem Hetiter Efron gekauft hatte.

土地のカナン人は、それからその場所を、アベル・ミツライム〔「エジプト人の嘆き」の意〕と呼ぶようになりました。葬式の有様を見た人々が、「あのエジプト人たちには、この葬式がよほど悲しいものなのだ」と言い合ったからです。 12-13 こうしてイスラエルの息子たちは、父に命じられたとおりに、彼の遺体をカナンの地へ運び、マクペラのほら穴に葬ったのです。マムレの近くで、アブラハムがヘテ人エフロンから買った畑の中のほら穴です。

De plaatselijke bewoners, de Kanaänieten, gaven die plaats zelfs een andere naam. Voortaan heette hij Abel-Misraïm (Egyptische rouwplechtigheid), want zij zeiden: ‘Dit is een plaats van zware rouw voor de Egyptenaren.’ 12,13 Zo voerden Israëls zonen zijn laatste wil uit en brachten zijn lichaam terug naar Kanaän. Zij begroeven hem in de grot van Machpela, vlakbij Mamre.
