Genesis 50
1 Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, wept over him, and kissed him.
Joseph te tonbe sou figi a papa li. Li te kriye sou li, e li te bo li.
2 And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So they embalmed him,
Joseph te kòmande sèvitè li yo avèk doktè yo pou anbome kò papa l. Donk, doktè yo te anbome Israël.
3 taking the forty days required to complete the embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
Alò, karant jou te nesesè pou sa, paske se tan sa a li te pran pou anbome. Epi Ejipsyen yo te kriye pou li pandan swasanndi jou.
4 When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please tell Pharaoh that
Lè jou doulè pou li yo te fin pase, Joseph te pale a lakay Farawon, e te di: “Si koulye a mwen jwenn favè nan zye nou, souple, pale avèk Farawon, e di:
5 my father made me swear an oath when he said, ‘I am about to die. You must bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Now let me go and bury my father, and then return.”
Papa m te fè m sèmante e te di: ‘Gade byen, mwen prèt pou mouri. Nan tonm mwen ke m te fouye pou mwen menm nan peyi Canaan an, se la nou va antere mwen.’ Alò, pou sa, kite mwen monte pou antere papa m; epi mwen va retounen.”
6 Pharaoh replied, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”
Farawon te di: “Ale monte antere papa ou, jan li te fè ou sèmante a.”
7 Then Joseph went to bury his father, and all the servants of Pharaoh accompanied him—the elders of Pharaoh’s household and all the elders of the land of Egypt—
Alò, Joseph te monte pou antere papa li, e avèk li te monte tout sèvitè a Farawon yo, ansyen lakay li yo, ak tout ansyen a peyi Égypte yo.
8 along with all of Joseph’s household, and his brothers, and his father’s household. Only their children and flocks and herds were left in Goshen.
Tout lakay Joseph avèk frè li yo, ak lakay papa li te ale. Yo te kite sèlman timoun yo, bann mouton yo ak twoupo yo nan peyi Gosen an.
9 Chariots and horsemen alike went up with him, and it was an exceedingly large procession.
Osi te monte avèk li, cha yo avèk chevalye yo. Epi se te yon gran konpanyen.
10 When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is across the Jordan, they lamented and wailed loudly, and Joseph mourned for his father seven days.
Lè yo te vin nan glasi vannen kote Athad la, glasi ki lòtbò Jourdain an, yo te fè anpil kriye avèk gwo lamantasyon byen tris. Li te obsève sèt jou lamantasyon pou papa li.
11 When the Canaanites of the land saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a solemn ceremony of mourning by the Egyptians.” Thus the place across the Jordan is called Abel-mizraim.
Alò, lè abitan nan peyi a, Kananeyen yo te wè lamantasyon sa a nan glasi vannen Athad la, yo te di: “Sa se yon lamantasyon trè di pou Ejipsyen yo.” Pou rezon sa a, yo te rele li Abel-Mitsraïm, ki vle di lòtbò Jourdain an.
12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.
Se konsa fis li yo te fè pou li jan li te kòmande yo a;
13 They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
paske fis li yo te pote li nan peyi Canaan an. Yo te antere li nan kav kote chan a Macpéla a avan Mamré, ke Abraham te achte ansanm avèk chan an pou yon kote antèman nan men Éphron, Etyen an.
14 After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.
Apre li te antere papa li, Joseph te retounen an Égypte—li menm, frè li yo, ak tout moun ki te monte avèk li pou antere papa li yo.
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph bears a grudge? Then he will surely repay us for all the evil that we did to him.”
Lè frè a Joseph yo te wè ke papa yo te mouri, yo te di: “Kisa ki va rive si Joseph toujou pote lahèn kont nou, e deside fè vanjans pou sa nou te fè l la?”
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,
Epi yo te voye vè Joseph e te di: “Papa ou te pase lòd avan li te mouri. Li te di:
17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the transgression and sin of your brothers, for they did you wrong.’ So now, Joseph, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
‘Konsa ou va di a Joseph: Souple, mwen mande ou padon pou transgresyon a frè ou yo avèk peche pa yo, paske yo te fè ou tò.’ Koulye a, souple, padone transgresyon sèvitè Bondye a papa ou yo.” Epi Joseph te kriye lè yo te pale avèk li.
18 His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”
Frè li yo anplis, te vin tonbe ba devan li, e yo te di: “Gade byen, nou se sèvitè ou.”
19 But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
Konsa, Joseph te di yo: “Pa pè; èske mwen nan plas Bondye?
20 As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.
Pou nou menm, nou te anvizaje mal kont mwen, men Bondye te anvizaje sa ki bon pou Li ta kapab fè rive rezilta ke nou wè koulye a devan nou an, pou L ta kapab prezève vi a anpil moun.
21 Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.
Pou sa, pa pè. Mwen va fè pwovizyon pou nou avèk pitit nou yo.” Li te rekonfòte yo e li te pale avèk tandrès avèk yo.
22 Now Joseph and his father’s household remained in Egypt, and Joseph lived to the age of 110.
Alò, Joseph te rete an Égypte, li menm avèk lakay papa li, epi Joseph te viv pandan san-dis ane.
23 He saw Ephraim’s sons to the third generation, and indeed the sons of Machir son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.
Joseph te wè twazyèm jenerasyon nan fis Ephraim yo, e anplis, fis a Makir yo, fis a Manassé a te fèt sou jenou a Joseph.
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will surely visit you and bring you up from this land to the land He promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Joseph te di frè li yo: “Mwen prèt pou mouri men Bondye va asireman pran swen nou, e Li va fè nou sòti nan peyi sa a vè peyi ke li te pwomèt nan sèman li a Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob la.”
25 And Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath and said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”
Konsa, Joseph te fè fis Israël yo sèmante. Li te di: “Anverite, Bondye va pwoteje nou, e nou va pote zo mwen monte kite isit la.”
26 So Joseph died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt.
Alò, Joseph te mouri nan laj san-dis ane. Li te anbome e yo te plase li nan yon sèkèy an Égypte.
