< Genesis 50 >

1 And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.
Jozèf lage kò l' sou papa l', li kriye kont li, li bo l' nan figi.
2 And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.
Apre sa, Jozèf rele dòktè ki t'ap sèvi l' yo, li fè yo pare kadav la. Se sa menm dòktè yo fè.
3 And the forty days needed for making the body ready went by: and there was weeping for him among the Egyptians for seventy days.
Yo pran karant jou pou pare kadav la jan yo konn fè l' la. Apre sa, moun peyi Lejip yo pase swasanndi jou ap kriye pou li.
4 And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:
Lè tout swasanndi jou yo fin pase, jou pou antèman an rive. Jozèf pale ak moun lakay farawon yo, li di yo konsa: -Tanpri souple, rann mwen sèvis sa a. Pote komisyon sa a bay farawon an pou mwen.
5 My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.
Di l' pou mwen: Anvan papa m' te mouri li te fè m' sèmante pou m' te antere l' nan kavo li te fè pare pou li nan peyi Kanaran. Tanpri, kite m' moute al antere papa m'. Apre sa, m'a tounen.
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.
Farawon an voye reponn li: -Ou mèt al antere papa ou, jan ou te sèmante ba li a.
7 So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,
Se konsa Jozèf moute al antere papa l'. tout moun lakay farawon yo, tout chèf ak tout notab peyi Lejip yo ale ak li,
8 And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.
ansanm ak tout fanmi Jozèf yo, frè l' yo, ak tout fanmi papa l' yo. Men yo te kite tout timoun piti yo Gochenn ansanm ak bèt yo, mouton, kabrit ak bèf.
9 And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.
Te gen anpil cha ak anpil kavalye sou chwal ki t ale avek li. Kifè pa t' manke moun nan lantèman an.
10 And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.
Lè yo rive nan glasi Atad ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden, kote sòlèy leve a, yo pran rele byen fò. Jozèf te fè yo fè sèvis la pandan sèt jou pou papa l'.
11 And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.
Lè moun peyi Kanaran yo wè sèvis lantèman yo t'ap fè Atad la, yo di: -Ala yon grannèg ki mouri lakay moun peyi Lejip yo papa! Se poutèt sa yo rele glasi ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an: Glasi lapenn moun peyi Lejip yo.
12 So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:
Konsa, pitit gason Jakòb yo te fè jan papa yo te ba yo lòd fè a.
13 For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre.
Yo pote kadav li nan peyi Kanaran, yo antere l' nan twou wòch ki te nan jaden Makpela a, anfas Manmre. Se jaden sa a Abraram te achte nan men Efwon, moun Et la, pou sèvi l' simityè.
14 And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.
Apre Jozèf fin antere papa l', li tounen Lejip ansanm ak frè l' yo ak tout moun ki te moute avè l' pou lantèman papa l' la.
15 Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.
Apre lanmò papa yo, frè Jozèf yo di: -Ou pa janm konnen. Jozèf ka kenbe nou nan kè, li ka fè nou peye tout sa nou te fè l' yo.
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,
Se konsa yo voye di Jozèf: -Men komisyon papa te ban nou pou ou anvan l' te mouri:
17 You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.
Men sa n'a di Jozèf pou mwen: Tanpri, padonnen krim frè ou yo te fè ou la. Padonnen peche yo paske yo te fè ou mal anpil. Koulye a atò, tanpri, padonnen mal nou te fè ou la, nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye papa ou la. Lè Jozèf tande pawòl sa a, li pran kriye.
18 Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.
Apre sa, frè l' yo vini yo menm menm, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li, yo di l' konsa: -Men nou pote tèt nou pou nou sèvi ou domestik.
19 And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?
Jozèf di yo: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Mwen pa kapab pran plas Bondye.
20 As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.
Nou te moute konplo pou fè m' mal. Men Bondye fè sa tounen yon byen, pou l' te fè sak rive jòdi a rive, pou l' te ka sove lavi tout kantite moun sa yo.
21 So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.
Non. Nou pa bezwen pè. M'ap okipe nou, nou menm ansanm ak tout pitit nou yo. Se konsa, Jozèf te pale byen ak frè l' yo, li te di yo pawòl ki te touche kè yo, li remoute kouraj yo.
22 Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten.
Jozèf te rete nan peyi Lejip ak tout fanmi papa l' yo. Li te gen sandizan (110 an) lè l' mouri.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.
Li te gen tan wè pitit ak pitit pitit Efrayim. Se nan men l' pitit Maki yo te fèt. Maki sa a te pitit Manase.
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.
Li di frè l' yo konsa: -Mwen pral mouri. Men mwen sèten Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. L'ap fè nou kite peyi sa a, l'ap fè nou tounen nan peyi li te sèmante l'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la.
25 Then Joseph made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly give effect to his word, and you are to take my bones away from here.
Apre sa, Jozèf fè pitit Izrayèl yo sèmante ba li, li di yo: -Wi, Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. Lè sa a, tanpri, pote zosman m' yo moute ak nou.
26 So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.
Lè Jozèf mouri li te gen sandizan (110 an). Yo benyen kadav la, yo pare l' pou l' pa pouri. Yo mete l' nan yon sèkèy byen fèmen nan peyi Lejip.
