Genesis 50
1 Joseph, realizing this, fell upon his father’s face, weeping and kissing him.
Na ka hinga a Hohepa ki runga ki te mata o tona papa, a ka tangi i runga i a ia, ka kihi hoki i a ia.
2 And he instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.
Na ka whakahau a Hohepa i ana tangata, i nga kairongoa, kia whakapakokotia tona papa; na whakapakokotia ana a Iharaira e nga kairongoa.
3 And while they were fulfilling his orders, forty days passed. For this was the method of embalming dead bodies. And Egypt wept for him for seventy days.
Na ka tutuki ona ra e wha tekau; ko nga ra hoki ena e whakatutukitia ana mo te hunga e whakapakokotia ana: a e whitu tekau nga ra i uhungatia ai ia e nga Ihipiana.
4 And when the time for mourning was fulfilled, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharaoh: “If I have found favor in your sight, speak to the ears of Pharaoh.
A, ka taka nga ra e uhungatia ia ia, ka korero a Hohepa ki te whare o Parao, ka mea, Na, ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koutou, tena, korero atu ki nga taringa o Parao, mea atu,
5 For my father made me swear, saying: ‘See, I am dying. You shall bury me in my sepulcher which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Therefore, I shall go up and bury my father, and then return.”
I whakaoati toku papa i ahau, i mea, Ka mate tenei ahau: hei roto i taku tanumanga i keria e ahau moku ki te whenua o Kanaana, hei reira ahau tanumia ai e koe. Na kia tukua ahau e koe aianei kia haere ki runga, ki te tanu i toku papa, ka hoki mai ai.
6 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just as he made you swear.”
Na ka mea a Parao, Haere ki runga ki te tanu i tou papa, kia rite ki tana i whakaoati ai i a koe.
7 So as he went up, all the elders of the house of Pharaoh went with him, along with every patriarch in the land of Egypt,
Na haere ana a Hohepa ki runga ki te tanu i tona papa, i haere tahi ano i a ia nga pononga katoa a Parao, nga kaumatua o tona whare, me nga kaumatua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa,
8 and the house of Joseph with his brothers, except their little ones and flocks and also the herds, which they left behind in the land of Goshen.
Me te whare katoa ano hoki o Hohepa, ratou ko ona tuakana, me te whare ano hoki o tona papa; ko a ratou tamariki anake, me a ratou hipi, me a ratou kau i mahue i a ratou i te whenua o Kohena.
9 Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.
I haere tahi ano i a ia nga hariata me nga tangata hoiho: he nui whakaharahara te tira.
10 And they arrived at the threshing place of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan. There they spent seven full days celebrating the funeral rites with a great and vehement lamentation.
Na ka tae ratou ki te patunga witi a Atara, i tawahi o Horano, a he tino nui whakaharahara te tangihanga i tangi ai ratou ki reira: e whitu hoki nga ra i uhungatia ai e ia tona papa.
11 And when the inhabitants of the land of Canaan had seen this, they said, “This is a great Lamentation for the Egyptians.” And for this reason, the name of that place was called, “The Lamentation of Egypt.”
A, ka kite nga tangata whenua, nga Kanaani, i te uhunga i te patunga witi a Atara, ka mea ratou, He uhunga nui tenei na nga Ihipiana: na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o reira ko Apere Mitiraima, kei tawahi hoki o Horano.
12 And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed them.
Na rite tonu ki tana i whakahau ai ki a ratou tana tama i mea ai ki a ia:
13 And carrying him into the land of Canaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial, opposite Mamre.
I kawea hoki ia e ana tama ki te whenua o Kanaana, a tanumia ana ki te ana i te parae o Makapera, i hokona tahitia nei e Aperahama me te parae i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga, kei te ritenga atu o Mamere.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brothers and all those of his company, having buried his father.
Na hoki ana a Hohepa ki Ihipa, ratou tahi ko ona tuakana, ko nga tangata katoa ano hoki i haere tahi i a ia ki runga ki te tanu i tona papa, i te mutunga o tana tanu i tona papa.
15 Now that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that we did to him.”
Na, i te kitenga o nga tuakana o Hohepa kua mate to ratou papa, ka mea ratou, Tera pea e kino mai a Hohepa ki a tatou, a ka utua mai e ia a tatou kino katoa i meatia e tatou ki a ia.
16 So they sent a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed us before he died,
Na ka tuku tangata ratou ki a Hohepa, a ka mea, I whakahau mai tou papa i mua ake i tona matenga, i mea mai,
17 that we should say these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
Kia penei ta koutou kupu ki a Hohepa, Tena, whakarerea te he o ou tuakana, me to ratou hara; he kino hoki ta ratou mahi ki a koe: na, tena whakarerea te he o nga pononga a te Atua o tou papa. A ka tangi a Hohepa i a ratou kupu ki a ia.
18 And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
Na ka haere ona tuakana, ka tapapa ki tona aroaro; ka mea, Tenei matou hei pononga mau.
19 And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will of God?
A ka mea a Hohepa ki a ratou, Kaua e wehi: he kaiwhakakapi oti ahau mo to te Atua wahi?
20 You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
Ko koutou hoki, i he o koutou whakaaro ki ahau; he pai ia to te Atua whakaaro, kia meatia ai tenei inaianei, kia whakaorangia ai hoki nga tangata tokomaha.
21 Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
Heoi kaua e wehi; maku koutou e atawhai, koutou ko a koutou tamariki. A ka whakamarie ia i a ratou, ka whakamama hoki i o ratou ngakau.
22 And he lived in Egypt with all his father’s house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years.
Na ka noho a Hohepa ki Ihipa, ratou ko te whare o tona papa: a kotahi rau kotahi tekau nga tau i ora ai a Hohepa.
23 And he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto Joseph’s knees.
A i kite a Hohepa i te tuatoru o nga whakatupuranga o nga tamariki a Eparaima: i whakatupuria ano hoki nga tamariki a Makiri, tama a Manahi, ki runga ki nga turi o Hohepa.
24 After these things happened, he said to his brothers: “God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Na ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, Ka mate ahau; otiia ka ata tirohia koutou e te Atua, a ka kawea atu koutou e ia i tenei whenua ki runga, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa.
25 And when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”
Na ka whakaoatitia nga tama a Iharaira e Hohepa, ka mea ia, Ka tikina mai koutou, ka ata tirohia e te Atua, a me kawe atu e koutou oku iwi i konei ki runga.
26 he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
Na ka mate a Hohepa i te kotahi rau i te kotahi tekau o ona tau: a ka whakapakokotia e ratou, ka whakatakotoria hoki ki te kawhena i Ihipa.
