Genesis 50
1 Unya nasubo pag-ayo si Jose nga nakoyapan siya atubangan sa iyang amahan, ug mihilak siya, ug gihagkan niya siya.
Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
2 Gisugo ni Jose ang iyang mga sulugoon nga mga mananambal sa pagbalsamar sa iyang amahan.
Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
3 Busa ang mga mananambal mibalsamar kang Israel. Naabtan sila ug 40 ka mga adlaw, kay mao kana ang kinatibuk-an nga panahon sa pagbalsamar. Ang mga Ehiptohanon naghilak alang kaniya sulod sa 70 ka mga adlaw.
So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
4 Sa dihang ang mga adlaw sa pagsubo natapos na, nakigsulti si Jose ngadto sa kinatas-ang hukmanan sa Paraon ug miingon, “Kung karon ako nakakaplag ug pabor sa imong mga mata, palihog pakig-istorya ngadto sa Paraon, nga mag-ingon,
When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
5 “Gipasaad ako sa akong amahan, nga nag-ingon, “Tan-awa, hapit na ako mamatay. Ilubong mo ako sa lubnganan nga akong gikalot alang sa akong kaugalingon sa yuta sa Canaan. Diin didto mo ako ilubong.” Karon tugoti ako nga motungas ug molubong sa akong amahan, ug unya mobalik ako.”'
‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
6 Mitubag ang Paraon, “Lakaw ug ilubong ang imong amahan, ingon nga siya nagpasaad kanimo.”
After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
7 Mitungas si Jose aron sa paglubong sa iyang amahan. Kauban niya mitungas ang tanang kadagkoan sa Paraon, ang mga anaa sa hukmanan sa iyang panimalay, ug ang tanang labaw sa mga kadagkoan sa yuta sa Ehipto,
So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
8 uban ang tanang panimalay ni Jose ug ang iyang mga igsoon, ug ang panimalay sa iyang amahan. Apan ilang gibilin ang mga gagmayng kabataan, ilang mga karnero, ug ilang mga baka, sa yuta sa Gosen.
His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
9 Ang mga nagakarwahe ug ang manggugubat miuban kaniya. Daghan kaayo kini nga pundok sa katawhan.
Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
10 Sa dihang miabot sila sa giokanan sa Atad sa ubang bahin tabok sa Jordan, nagbangotan sila pag-ayo ug nagsubo sa hilabihan gayod. Didto si Jose nagmugna ug kasubo sa pito ka adlaw alang sa iyang amahan.
They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
11 Sa dihang ang mga lumolupyo sa yuta, ang mga Canaanhon, nakita ang pagbangotan sa giokanan sa Atad, sila miingon, “Subo kaayo kini nga higayon alang sa mga Ehiptohanon.” Busa kining dapita ginatawag nga Abel Misraim, nga diin kini unahan sa Jordan.
When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
12 Busa gibuhat sa iyang mga anak alang kang Jacob sumala sa iyang gitugon kanila.
Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
13 Gidala siya sa iyang mga anak didto sa yuta sa Canaan ug gilubong siya sa langob sa uma sa Macpela, duol sa Mamre. Gipalit ni Abraham ang langob uban ang uma alang sa lugar sa paglubong. Iya kining gipalit gikan kang Efron ang Hetihanon.
They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
14 Paghuman niya ug lubong sa iyang amahan, mibalik si Jose ngadto sa Ehipto, siya, uban ang iyang mga igsoon, ug ang tanang miuban kaniya sa paglubong sa iyang amahan.
After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
15 Sa dihang ang mga igsoon ni Jose nakakita nga ang ilang amahan namatay na, sila miingon, “Unsa kaha kung si Jose nagdumot ug gusto niya nga magbayad kita kaniya sa kinatibuk-an sa tanang kadaotan nga atong nahimo kaniya?”
After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
16 Busa ilang gipatawag si Jose ug miingon, “Naghatag ug tugon ang imong amahan sa wala pa siya namatay, miingon siya,
So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
17 'Sultihi si Jose niini, “Palihog pasayloa ang kalapasan sa imong mga igsoon ug ang ilang sala sa dihang sila naghimo ug daotan kanimo.” Karon palihog pasayloa ang mga sulugoon sa Dios sa imong amahan.” Mihilak si Jose sa dihang nakigsulti sila kaniya.
‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
18 Ang iyang mga igsoon usab miadto ug mihapa sa yuta diha sa iyang atubangan. Miingon sila, “Tan-awa, kami imong mga sulugoon.”
Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
19 Apan si Jose mitubag kanila, “Ayaw kamog kahadlok. Anaa ba ako sa dapit sa Dios?
But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
20 Kay alang kaninyo, gusto ninyo nga buhatan ako ug daotan, apan alang sa Dios aduna siyay maayo nga katuyoan, aron sa pagtipig sa kinabuhi sa daghang mga tawo, sama sa inyong nakita karon.
As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
21 Busa karon ayaw kahadlok. Ako magapatagbo alang kaninyo ug sa inyong kabataan.” Gihupay niya sila sa niini nga paagi ug malumo nga nakigsulti kanila.
So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
22 Mipuyo si Jose sa Ehipto, kauban sa pamilya sa iyang amahan. Siya nabuhi sulod sa 110 ka-tuig.
Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
23 Nakita ni Jose ang ika-tulo nga kaliwatan ni Efraim. Nakita pa gayud niya ang anak ni Makir nga anak ni Manases. Mga “natawo sila sa iyang mga tuhod.”
He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
24 Miingon si Jose sa iyang mga igsoon, “Hapit na ako mamatay; apan ang Dios moadto kaninyo ug magdala kaninyo gawas niining yutaa ngadto sa yuta nga diin iyang gisaad nga ihatag ngadto kang Abraham, kang Isaac, ug kang Jacob.”
One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25 Unya gipapanumpa ni Jose ang mga tawo sa Israel ug panaad. Miingon siya, “Ang Dios gayod moanhi kaninyo. Niana nga panahon kinahanglan ninyong dad-on ang akong mga bukog gikan dinhi.”
Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
26 Busa si Jose namatay, sa panuigon nga 110. Ila siyang gipabalsamar ug siya ilang gibutang sa lungon sa Ehipto.
So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
