Genesis 50
1 And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father’s face weeping and kissing him.
Joseph te tonbe sou figi a papa li. Li te kriye sou li, e li te bo li.
2 And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
Joseph te kòmande sèvitè li yo avèk doktè yo pou anbome kò papa l. Donk, doktè yo te anbome Israël.
3 And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt 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 And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
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 For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and 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 And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
Farawon te di: “Ale monte antere papa ou, jan li te fè ou sèmante a.”
7 So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao’s house, 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 And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
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 He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company.
Osi te monte avèk li, cha yo avèk chevalye yo. Epi se te yon gran konpanyen.
10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full 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 And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
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 the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
Se konsa fis li yo te fè pou li jan li te kòmande yo a;
13 And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the field for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
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 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried 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 Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us 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 And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
Epi yo te voye vè Joseph e te di: “Papa ou te pase lòd avan li te mouri. Li te di:
17 That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he 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 And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
Frè li yo anplis, te vin tonbe ba devan li, e yo te di: “Gade byen, nou se sèvitè ou.”
19 And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
Konsa, Joseph te di yo: “Pa pè; èske mwen nan plas Bondye?
20 You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save 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 Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
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 And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father’s house: and lived a hundred and ten years.
Alò, Joseph te rete an Égypte, li menm avèk lakay papa li, epi Joseph te viv pandan san-dis ane.
23 And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasses were born 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 After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore 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 he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of 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 And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid 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.
