Genesis 50
1 Joseph went and hugged his father, weeping over him and kissing him.
Kenaka Yosefe anadzigwetsa pa nkhope ya abambo ake, nawapsompsona kwinaku akulira.
2 Then Joseph instructed the physicians who worked for him to embalm his father's body. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
Ndipo Yosefe analamula antchito ake a chipatala kuti akonze thupi la Israeli ndi mankhwala kuti lisawole. Kotero antchitowo anakonzadi thupilo.
3 This took a full 40 days, the normal time for the process, and the Egyptians mourned for him for 70 days.
Antchito aja zinawatengera masiku 40 kuti akonze mtembo uja popeza ntchito ngati imeneyi inafunikira masiku monga amenewa. Ndipo Aigupto anamulira Yakobo kwa masiku makumi asanu ndi awiri.
4 Once the time of mourning was over, Joseph said to Pharaoh's officials, “If you'd be so kind, please speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and explain to him that
Yosefe atatha kulira maliro a abambo ake, anayankhula kwa nduna za Farao nati, “Ngati mungandikomere mtima, chonde mundiyankhulire kwa Farao kumuwuza kuti,
5 my father made me swear an oath, telling me, ‘You must bury me in the tomb I've prepared for myself in Canaan. Please allow me to go and bury my father and then I'll return.’”
‘Abambo anga anandilumbiritsa ndipo anati, ‘Ndatsala pangʼono kumwalira, ukandiyike mʼmanda amene ndinakumba ndekha mʼdziko la Kanaani.’ Tsono mundilole ndikayike abambo anga, ndipo ndikabweranso.’”
6 Pharaoh replied, “Go and bury your father as he made you swear to do.”
Farao anati, “Pita ukayike abambo ako monga anakulumbiritsa kuti uchite.”
7 Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh's officials went with him—all Pharaoh's senior advisors and all the leaders of Egypt—
Kotero Yosefe anapita kukayika abambo ake. Nduna zonse za Farao, akuluakulu a bwalo lake ndi akuluakulu a ku Igupto, anapita naye pamodzi.
8 as well as Joseph's family, his brothers, and his father's family. They only left the small children and their flocks and herds back in Goshen.
Anapitanso onse a pa banja la Yosefe ndi abale ake ndi onse amene anali a pa banja la abambo ake. Ana awo okha, nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zinatsala ku Goseni
9 They were accompanied by chariots and horsemen—a really large procession.
Asilikali okwera pa magaleta ndi asilikali a pa akavalo anapita nayenso pamodzi. Linali gulu lalikulu.
10 When they got to the threshing floor of Atad, on the other side of the Jordan, they wept loudly in sorrow. Joseph held a seven-day ceremony of mourning for his father there.
Atafika pa Goreni ha-Atadi, pafupi ndi Yorodani, anachita mwambo waukulu wa maliro. Choncho Yosefe analira maliro a abambo ake masiku asanu ndi awiri.
11 The Canaanites who lived there watched the ceremony of mourning at the threshing floor of Atad. They said, “This is a very sad time of mourning for the Egyptians,” so they renamed the place Abel-mizraim, which is on the other side of the Jordan.
Akanaani amene ankakhala ku Goreni ha-Atadi ataona mwambo wa maliro anati, “Aigupto ali ndi mwambo wa maliro a akulu.” Ndi chifukwa chake malo amenewo a pafupi ndi Yorodani amatchedwa Abeli-Mizraimu.
12 Jacob's sons did what he had instructed them to do.
Choncho ana a Yakobo anachita monga momwe abambo awo anawalamula:
13 They carried his body to Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
Ndiye kuti ana a Yakobo anamunyamula kupita naye ku Kanaani kuti akamuyike mʼphanga limene lili mʼmunda wa Makipela pafupi ndi Mamre. Abrahamu anagula mundawo kwa Efroni Mhiti kuti pakhale manda.
14 After they had buried their father, Joseph and his brothers returned to Egypt along with all those who had gone with them.
Atatha kuyika abambo ake, Yosefe anabwerera ku Igupto, pamodzi ndi abale ake ndi onse amene anapita nawo kukayika abambo ake.
15 However, now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became worried, saying, “Maybe Joseph is holding a grudge against us, and he'll pay us back for all the bad things we did to him.”
Abale ake a Yosefe ataona kuti abambo awo amwalira, anati, “Nanga tidzatani ngati Yosefe anatisungira mangawa nafuna kutibwezera pa zoyipa zonse zimene tinamuchitira?”
16 So they sent a message to Joseph to tell him, “Before your father died, he gave this order,
Motero anatumiza mawu kwa Yosefe kuti, “Abambo anu anasiya malangizo asanafe nati:
17 ‘This is what you are to tell Joseph: Forgive your brothers their sins, the bad things they did to you, treating you in such a nasty way.’ Now please forgive us our sins, we who are servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received their message, he cried.
‘Zimene mudzayenera kunena kwa Yosefe ndi izi: Ndikukupempha kuti uwakhululukire abale ako cholakwa chawo ndi machimo awo, popeza anakuchitira zoyipa.’ Ndiye tsopano chonde tikhululukireni zolakwa zimene ife akapolo a Mulungu wa abambo anu tinachita.” Yosefe atangomva mawu amenewa anayamba kulira.
18 Then his brothers themselves came and fell down before Joseph and said, “We are your slaves!”
Kenaka abale ake anabwera nadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pake, nati, “Ife ndife akapolo anu.”
19 “You don't need to be afraid!” he told them. “I don't stand in the place of God, do I?
Koma Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Musachite mantha. Kodi ine ndalowa mʼmalo mwa Mulungu?
20 While you planned bad things for me, God planned it for good so that in the end many lives could be saved.
Inu munafuna kundichitira zoyipa, koma Mulungu anasandutsa zoyipazo kuti zikhale zabwino kuti zikwaniritsidwe zimene zikuchitika panozi, zopulumutsa miyoyo yambiri.
21 So don't worry. I'll go on taking care of you and your children.” Speaking kindly like this he calmed them down.
Kotero, musachite mantha. Ine ndidzasamalira inu pamodzi ndi ana anu omwe.” Tsono iye anawalimbitsa mtima powayankhula moleza mtima.
22 Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's whole family. He lived to be 110,
Yosefe anakhala mu Igupto pamodzi ndi banja lonse la abambo ake. Anakhala ndi moyo zaka 110
23 and saw three generations of his son Ephraim, and the sons of Makir, Manasseh's son, were placed in his lap when they were born.
ndipo anaona mʼbado wachitatu wa ana a Efereimu. Yosefe anatenganso ana a Makiri, mwana wa Manase kukhala ngati ana a mʼbanja lake.
24 “I'm going to die soon,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will be with you, and he will lead you out of this country to the land that he swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Kenaka Yosefe anati kwa abale ake, “Ine ndatsala pangʼono kufa. Koma mosakayika Mulungu adzakuyangʼanirani nadzakutengani kukutulutsani mʼdziko lino kupita ku dziko limene Iye analonjeza kwa Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo.”
25 Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “When God comes to be with you, you must take my bones with you when you leave.”
Ndipo Yosefe analumbiritsa ana a Israeli lumbiro nati, “Lonjezani kuti Mulungu akadzakusungani mudzanyamula mafupa anga kuwachotsa ku malo kuno.”
26 Joseph died when he was 110. After his body was embalmed, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
Choncho Yosefe anafa ali ndi zaka 110. Motero iwo atakonza thupi lake ndi mankhwala kuti lisawole, analiyika mʼbokosi ku Igupto.
