Genesis 50
1 Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him.
Yosef tsɔ eɖokui ƒu fofoa ƒe kukua dzi, fa avi ɖe edzi, eye wògbugbɔ nu nɛ.
2 And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel.
Emegbe la, eɖe gbe na eƒe atikewɔlawo be woasi atike na ye fofo Israel. Ale atikewɔlawo si atike nɛ.
3 So fourtie dayes were accomplished (for so long did the dayes of them that were enbaumed last) and the Egyptians bewayled him seuentie dayes.
Atikesisi la xɔ ŋkeke blaene, eye Egipte dukɔ blibo la ƒe konyifafa xɔ ŋkeke blaadre.
4 And when the dayes of his mourning were past, Ioseph spake to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If I haue nowe found fauour in your eyes, speake, I pray you, in the eares of Pharaoh, and say,
Esi konyifaɣi la va yi la, Yosef te ɖe Farao ŋumewo ŋu, eye wòɖe kuku na wo be woaƒo nu na Farao na ye.
5 My father made me sweare, saying, Loe, I die, bury me in my graue, which I haue made me in the land of Canaan: now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I wil come againe.
Egblɔ na wo be, “Migblɔ na fia la be Yosef fofo na Yosef ka atam be yeatsɔ ye fofo ƒe kukua ayi Kanaanyigba dzi, eye yeaɖii ɖe afi ma. Mibia mɔfiala nam be wòaɖe mɔ mayi aɖaɖi fofonye. Mika ɖe edzi nɛ nam be matrɔ agbɔ enumake.”
6 Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare.
Farao lɔ̃ hegblɔ be, “Yi nàɖi fofowò abe ale si nèka atam ene.”
7 So Ioseph went vp to bury his father, and with him went all the seruants of Pharaoh, both the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
Ale Yosef yi kple Farao ƒe aɖaŋudelawo kple kpeɖeŋutɔwo
8 Likewise all the house of Ioseph, and his brethren, and his fathers house: onely their children, and their sheepe, and their cattell left they in the land of Goshen.
kple Yosef nɔviŋutsuwo kple woƒe ƒometɔwo. Ke wogblẽ wo vi suewo kple woƒe lãwo ɖe Gosenyigba dzi.
9 And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company.
Ale tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdola geɖewo kpakple ameha gã aɖe kplɔ Yosef yii.
10 And they came to Goren Atad, which is beyond Iorden, and there they made a great and exceeding sore lamentation: and he mourned for his father seuen dayes.
Esi woɖo Atad, teƒe si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, eye wòte ɖe Yeriko ŋu la, wode kusɔleme, eye wofa konyi ŋkeke adre sɔŋ le Yakob ƒe ku ta.
11 And when the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande sawe the mourning in Goren Atad, they sayde, This is a great mourning vnto the Egyptians: wherefore the name thereof was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond Iorden.
Kanaantɔwo na ŋkɔ bubuteƒe si le afi si te ɖe Yɔdan ŋu la be, Abel Mizraim si gɔmee nye “Konyifalawo tso Egipte,” elabena wogblɔ be, “Teƒe sia Egiptetɔwo fa konyi le vevie.”
12 So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them:
Ale Yakob ƒe viwo wɔ nu siwo wòɖo na wo la.
13 For his sonnes caried him into the lande of Canaan, and buried him in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah, which caue Abraham bought with the fielde, to be a place to bury in, of Ephron the Hittite besides Mamre.
Wotsɔe yi Kanaanyigba dzi, eye woɖii ɖe kpeto si le Makpela ƒe anyigba dzi si te ɖe Mamre ŋu, abɔ si Abraham ƒle le Efrɔn, Hititɔ la si be wòanye ameɖiƒe la me.
14 Then Ioseph returned into Egypt, he and his brethren, and al that went vp with him to bury his father, after that he had buried his father.
Yosef trɔ va Egipte kple nɔviawo kpakple ame siwo katã yi wo fofo ƒe kuteƒe la.
15 And when Iosephs brethren saw that their father was dead, they sayde, It may be that Ioseph will hate vs, and will pay vs againe all the euill, which we did vnto him.
Ke esi wo fofo ku azɔ la, Yosef nɔviwo de asi vɔvɔ̃ me. Wogblɔ be, “Azɔ la, Yosef aɖo nu vɔ̃ si míewɔ ɖe eŋu la teƒe na mí.”
16 Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
Ale woɖo ame ɖe Yosef be, “Fofowò gblẽ ɖoɖo siawo ɖi hafi ku.
17 Thus shall ye say vnto Ioseph, Forgiue now, I pray thee, the trespasse of thy brethren, and their sinne: for they rewarded thee euil. And nowe, we pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of the seruants of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wept, when they spake vnto him.
‘Nya si miagblɔ na Yosef lae nye: Mebia tso asiwò be nàtsɔ nɔviwòwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ kple vodada siwo wowɔ ɖe ŋuwò la ake wo.’ Azɔ míeɖe kuku, tsɔ nu vɔ̃ ke fofowò ƒe Mawu la ƒe dɔlawo.” Esi nya siawo va ɖo Yosef gbɔ la, efa avi.
18 Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants.
Tete nɔviawo va dze klo, de ta agu nɛ, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míenye wò kluviwo.”
19 To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God?
Ke Yosef gblɔ na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o, Mawue menye be madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi, ahe to na mia?
20 When ye thought euill against mee, God disposed it to good, that he might bring to passe, as it is this day, and saue much people aliue.
Le nye ɖeka gome la, Mawu trɔ nu si mieɖo be wòanye nu vɔ̃ la wòzu nu nyui, elabena etsɔm ɖo teƒe kɔkɔ si mele egbe la be mate ŋu aɖe ame geɖewo ƒe agbe.
21 Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them.
Migavɔ̃ o, nye ŋutɔ makpɔ miawo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo dzi.” Eƒo nu na wo kple gbe bɔbɔe, eye wòde dzi ƒo na wo.
22 So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere.
Ale Yosef kple nɔviawo kpakple woƒe ƒometɔwo ganɔ Egipte. Yosef xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka kple ewo hafi ku.
23 And Ioseph saw Ephraims children, euen vnto the third generation: also the sonnes of Machir the sonne of Manasseh were brought vp on Iosephs knees.
Enɔ agbe, kpɔ via Efraim ƒe viwo kple Makir, Manase ƒe vi ƒe viwo, ame siwo fena le Yosef ƒe afɔ nu.
24 And Ioseph sayd vnto his brethren, I am ready to dye, and God will surely visite you, and bring you out of this land, vnto ye land which hee sware vnto Abraham, vnto Izhak, and vnto Iaakob.
Yosef gblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Esusɔ vie maku, ke Mawu ava aɖe mi tso Egiptenyigba sia dzi, eye wòakplɔ mi, miatrɔ ayi anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo la dzi.”
25 And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence.
Emegbe Yosef na Israel ƒe viwo ka atam nɛ be, “Mawu akpe ɖe mia ŋu be miatsɔ nye kukua tso afi sia ayi Kanaan.”
26 So Ioseph died, when he was an hundreth and ten yere olde: and they enbaumed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.
Ale Yosef ku esi wòxɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka kple ewo. Wosi atike na eƒe kukua, eye wodee aɖaka me le Egipte.
