Genesis 50
1 Kenaka Yosefe anadzigwetsa pa nkhope ya abambo ake, nawapsompsona kwinaku akulira.
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 Ndipo Yosefe analamula antchito ake a chipatala kuti akonze thupi la Israeli ndi mankhwala kuti lisawole. Kotero antchitowo anakonzadi thupilo.
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 Antchito aja zinawatengera masiku 40 kuti akonze mtembo uja popeza ntchito ngati imeneyi inafunikira masiku monga amenewa. Ndipo Aigupto anamulira Yakobo kwa masiku makumi asanu ndi awiri.
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him threescore and ten days.
4 Yosefe atatha kulira maliro a abambo ake, anayankhula kwa nduna za Farao nati, “Ngati mungandikomere mtima, chonde mundiyankhulire kwa Farao kumuwuza kuti,
And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke unto the house of Pharaoh, saying: 'If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying:
5 ‘Abambo anga anandilumbiritsa ndipo anati, ‘Ndatsala pangʼono kumwalira, ukandiyike mʼmanda amene ndinakumba ndekha mʼdziko la Kanaani.’ Tsono mundilole ndikayike abambo anga, ndipo ndikabweranso.’”
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 back.'
6 Farao anati, “Pita ukayike abambo ako monga anakulumbiritsa kuti uchite.”
And Pharaoh said: 'Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.'
7 Kotero Yosefe anapita kukayika abambo ake. Nduna zonse za Farao, akuluakulu a bwalo lake ndi akuluakulu a ku Igupto, anapita naye pamodzi.
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,
8 Anapitanso onse a pa banja la Yosefe ndi abale ake ndi onse amene anali a pa banja la abambo ake. Ana awo okha, nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zinatsala ku Goseni
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.
9 Asilikali okwera pa magaleta ndi asilikali a pa akavalo anapita nayenso pamodzi. Linali gulu lalikulu.
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company.
10 Atafika pa Goreni ha-Atadi, pafupi ndi Yorodani, anachita mwambo waukulu wa maliro. Choncho Yosefe analira maliro a abambo ake masiku asanu ndi awiri.
And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they wailed with a very great and sore wailing; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 Akanaani amene ankakhala ku Goreni ha-Atadi ataona mwambo wa maliro anati, “Aigupto ali ndi mwambo wa maliro a akulu.” Ndi chifukwa chake malo amenewo a pafupi ndi Yorodani amatchedwa Abeli-Mizraimu.
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 Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 Choncho ana a Yakobo anachita monga momwe abambo awo anawalamula:
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them.
13 Ndiye kuti ana a Yakobo anamunyamula kupita naye ku Kanaani kuti akamuyike mʼphanga limene lili mʼmunda wa Makipela pafupi ndi Mamre. Abrahamu anagula mundawo kwa Efroni Mhiti kuti pakhale manda.
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 burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, in front of Mamre.
14 Atatha kuyika abambo ake, Yosefe anabwerera ku Igupto, pamodzi ndi abale ake ndi onse amene anapita nawo kukayika abambo ake.
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 Abale ake a Yosefe ataona kuti abambo awo amwalira, anati, “Nanga tidzatani ngati Yosefe anatisungira mangawa nafuna kutibwezera pa zoyipa zonse zimene tinamuchitira?”
And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said: 'It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did unto him.'
16 Motero anatumiza mawu kwa Yosefe kuti, “Abambo anu anasiya malangizo asanafe nati:
And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying: 'Thy father did command before he died, saying:
17 ‘Zimene mudzayenera kunena kwa Yosefe ndi izi: Ndikukupempha kuti uwakhululukire abale ako cholakwa chawo ndi machimo awo, popeza anakuchitira zoyipa.’ Ndiye tsopano chonde tikhululukireni zolakwa zimene ife akapolo a Mulungu wa abambo anu tinachita.” Yosefe atangomva mawu amenewa anayamba kulira.
So shall ye say unto Joseph: Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father.' And Joseph wept when they spoke unto him.
18 Kenaka abale ake anabwera nadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pake, nati, “Ife ndife akapolo anu.”
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said: 'Behold, we are thy bondmen.'
19 Koma Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Musachite mantha. Kodi ine ndalowa mʼmalo mwa Mulungu?
And Joseph said unto them: 'Fear not; for am I in the place of God?
20 Inu munafuna kundichitira zoyipa, koma Mulungu anasandutsa zoyipazo kuti zikhale zabwino kuti zikwaniritsidwe zimene zikuchitika panozi, zopulumutsa miyoyo yambiri.
And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
21 Kotero, musachite mantha. Ine ndidzasamalira inu pamodzi ndi ana anu omwe.” Tsono iye anawalimbitsa mtima powayankhula moleza mtima.
Now therefore fear ye not; I will sustain you, and your little ones.' And he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto them.
22 Yosefe anakhala mu Igupto pamodzi ndi banja lonse la abambo ake. Anakhala ndi moyo zaka 110
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
23 ndipo anaona mʼbado wachitatu wa ana a Efereimu. Yosefe anatenganso ana a Makiri, mwana wa Manase kukhala ngati ana a mʼbanja lake.
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph's knees.
24 Kenaka Yosefe anati kwa abale ake, “Ine ndatsala pangʼono kufa. Koma mosakayika Mulungu adzakuyangʼanirani nadzakutengani kukutulutsani mʼdziko lino kupita ku dziko limene Iye analonjeza kwa Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo.”
And Joseph said unto his brethren: 'I die; but God will surely remember you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'
25 Ndipo Yosefe analumbiritsa ana a Israeli lumbiro nati, “Lonjezani kuti Mulungu akadzakusungani mudzanyamula mafupa anga kuwachotsa ku malo kuno.”
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying: 'God will surely remember you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.'
26 Choncho Yosefe anafa ali ndi zaka 110. Motero iwo atakonza thupi lake ndi mankhwala kuti lisawole, analiyika mʼbokosi ku Igupto.
So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old. And they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
