Genesis 50
1 And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.
Yusufu akahuzunika sana hata akauangukia uso wa baba yake, akamlilia, na kumbusu.
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.
Yusufu akawaagiza watumishi wake matabibu kumtia dawa babaye. Hivyo matabibu wakampaka dawa Israeli.
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.
Wakatimiza siku arobain, kwani huo ndio uliokuwa muda kamili wa kutia dawa. Wamisri wakamlilia kwa siku sabini
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:
Siku za maombolezo zilipotimia, Yusufu akaongea na watumishi wa baraza la kifalme wa Farao kusema, “Ikiwa nimepata kibali machoni penu, tafadharini ongeeni na Farao, kusema,
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.
'Baba yangu aliniapisha, kusema, “Tazama, ninakaribia kufa. Unizike katika kaburi nililolichimba kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe katika nchi ya Kanaani. Ndipo utakaponizika.” Basi sasa niruhusu niende nimzike baba yangu, na kisha nitarudi.”
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.
Farao akajibu, “Nenda na umzika baba yako, kama alivyokuwapisha.”
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,
Yusufu akaenda kumzika baba yake. Maofisa wa Farao wote wakaenda pamoja naye - washauri wa nyumba yake, maofisa waandamizi wote wa nchi ya Misri,
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.
pamoja na nyumba yote ya Yusufu na ndugu zake, na nyumba yote ya baba yake. Lakini watoto wao, kondoo wao na makundi ya mbuzi wao yaliachwa katika nchi ya Gosheni.
9 And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.
Vibandawazi na wapanda farasi pia walikwenda pamoja naye. Lilikuwa kundi kubwa sana la watu.
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.
Hata walipokuja katika sakafu ya kupuria ya Atadi upande mwingine wa Yordani, wakaomboleza kwa majonzi ya huzuni kubwa. Yusufu akafanya maombolezo ya siku saba kwa ajili ya babaye pale.
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.
Wenyeji wa nchi, Wakanaani, walipoona maombolezo katika sakafu ya Atadi, wakasema, “Hili ni tukio la kuhuzunisha sana kwa Wamisri.” Ndiyo maana eneo hilo likaitwa Abeli Mizraimu, lililoko mbele ya Yordani.
12 So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:
Hivyo wanawe wakamfanyia Yakobo kama alivyokuwa amewaagiza.
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.
Wana wake wakampeleka katika nchi ya Kanaani na wakamzika katika pango katika shamba la Makpela, karibu na Mamre. Ibrahimi alikuwa amelinunua pango pamoja na shamba kwa ajili ya eneo la kuzikia. Alikuwa amelinunua kutoka kwa Efroni Mhiti.
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.
Baada ya kuwa amemzika babaye, Yusufu akarudi Misri, yeye, pamoja na ndugu zake, na wote waliokuwa wamemsindikiza ili kumzika babaye.
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.
Nduguze Yusufu walipoona kwamba baba yao amekufa, wakasema, “Itakuwaje ikiwa Yusufu atatukasirikia na akataka kutulipa kikamilifu kwa ajili ya uovu tuliomtenda?”
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,
Hivyo wakamwagiza Yusufu, kusema, “Baba yako alitoa maelekezo kabla hajafa, kusema,
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.
'Mwambieni hivi Yusufu, “Tafadhari samehe makosa ya ndugu zako na dhambi yao uovu waliokutenda.” Basi wasamehe watumishi wa Mungu wa baba yako.” Yusufu akalia walipomwambia.
18 Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.
Ndugu zake pia wakaenda na kuinamisha nyuso zao mbele zake. Wakasema, “Tazama, sisi ni watumishi wako.”
19 And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?
Lakini Yusufu akawajibu, “Msiogope, Je mimi ni badala ya Mungu?
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.
Lakini kwenu, mlikusudia kunidhuru, lakini Mungu alikusudia mema, kuhifadhi maisha ya watu wengi, kama mwonavyo leo.
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.
Hivyo basi msiogope. Nitawahudumia ninyi na watoto wenu wadogo.” Kwa njia hii aliwatia moyo na kuongea na mioyo yao kwa upole.
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.
Yusufu akakaa Misri, pamoja na familia ya baba yake. Akaishi miaka mia moja na kumi.
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.
Yusufu akawaona wana wa Efraimu hata kizazi cha tatu. Pia aliwaona wana wa Makiri mwana wa Manase, waliowekwa katika magoti ya Yusufu.
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.
Yusufu akawambia ndugu zake, “Ninakaribia kufa; lakini kwa hakika Mungu atawajilia na kuwaongoza kutoka katika nchi hii na kuwapeleka katika nch aliyoapa kumpa Ibrahimu, kwa Isaka na kwa Yakobo.”
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.
Kisha Yusufu akawaapisha watu wa Israeli kwa kiapo. Akasema, “Bila shaka Mungu atawajilia. Wakati huo mtachukuwa mifupa yangu kutoka hapa.”
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.
Hivyo Yusufu akafa, mwenye miaka 110. Wakampaka dawa na akawekwa katika jeneza huko Misri.
