Genesis 50
1 Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him.
Afei, Yosef too ne ho hwee nʼagya so suiɛ, fee nʼano.
2 And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel.
Ɛno akyiri no, Yosef maa nʼaduruyɛfoɔ bɛhyɛɛ nʼagya Israel akyenkyennuro, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrensɛe. Enti, aduroyɛfoɔ no hyɛɛ no akyenkyennuro.
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.
Wɔde adaduanan na ɛhyɛɛ Israel akyenkyennuro no, ɛfiri sɛ, saa nna dodoɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde hyɛ no aduro no. Misraimfoɔ suu no nnafua aduɔson.
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,
Wɔsuu no wieeɛ no, Yosef kasa kyerɛɛ Farao fiefoɔ sɛ, “Sɛ manya mo anim animuonyam a, monka nkyerɛ Farao mma me sɛ,
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.
‘Mʼagya maa mekaa ntam,’ na ɔkaa sɛ: Hwɛ, aka kakra na mawu. Enti, sɛ mewu a, ɔboda a mʼankasa metwaa wɔ Kanaan asase so no mu na monkɔsie me. ‘Enti, mommisa otumfoɔ Farao ɛkwan mma me na menkɔsie mʼagya, na mɛsane maba.’”
6 Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare.
Farao penee akwansra no so, kaa sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔsie wʼagya, sɛdeɛ ɔmaa wo kaa no ntam no.”
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.
Ɛno enti, Yosef kɔ kɔsiee nʼagya. Farao asomfoɔ nyinaa ne ne mpanimfoɔ ne nʼatenankonnwa ne Misraim nnipa titire nyinaa kɔgyaa Yosef ayie.
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.
Ɛno akyiri, Yosef fiefoɔ nyinaa a ne nuammarimanom ne nʼagya fiefoɔ ka ho ne no kɔɔ ayie no. Wɔn mma ne wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie nko ara na wɔgyaa wɔn wɔ Gosen asase so hɔ.
9 And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company.
Nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ nso kaa wɔn ho kɔɔ ayie no bi. Nnipadɔm pa ara na wɔkɔeɛ.
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.
Wɔduruu Atad a nʼasekyerɛ ne baabi a wɔpo atokoɔ, a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Yordan atɔeɛ fam no, wɔde nnanson twaa agyaadwoɔ, yɛɛ Yosef agya Israel ayi kɛseɛ wɔ hɔ.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Kanaanfoɔ a na wɔte asase no so hunuu sɛdeɛ wɔsi yɛɛ ayie no wɔ Atad no, wɔkaa sɛ, “Yei yɛ ayi kɛseɛ bi a Misraimfoɔ ayɛ.” Ɛno enti, Kanaanfoɔ a wɔte asase no so no too hɔ edin Abel-Misraim, a asekyerɛ ne Misraimfoɔ ayi kɛseɛ yɛ.
12 So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them:
Enti, Yakob mmammarima no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔn agya kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
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.
Wɔsoaa no, de no kɔɔ Kanaan asase so, kɔsiee no wɔ ɔboda a ɛwɔ Makpela a ɛbɛn Mamrɛ afuo a na Abraham atɔ afiri Hetini Efron nkyɛn de ayɛ amusieeɛ no mu.
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 siee nʼagya wieeɛ no, ɔne ne nuanom ne wɔn a wɔkɔgyaa no ayie no nyinaa sane baa Misraim.
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.
Yosef agya wuo akyiri no, ne nuanom no de ehu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ Yosef da so wɔ yɛn ho menasepɔ, na ɔtua yɛn bɔne ahodoɔ a yɛayɛ no nyinaa so ka a, na yɛreyɛ no ɛdeɛn.”
16 Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
Enti, wɔtuu nnipa kɔɔ Yosef hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wʼagya kaa saa asɛm yi ansa na ɔrewu.
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.
‘Asɛm yi na ɛsɛ sɛ moka kyerɛ Yosef: Mesrɛ wo, fa bɔne ahodoɔ a wo nuanom ayɛ wo no nyinaa kyɛ wɔn.’ Enti, afei mesrɛ wo, fa Onyankopɔn a wʼagya somm no no nkoa bɔne kyɛ wɔn.” Ɛberɛ a Yosef tee asɛm a ne nuanom no kaeɛ no, ɔsuiɛ.
18 Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants.
Yosef nuammarima no bɛtotoo wɔn ho guguu nʼanim, kaa sɛ, “Yɛyɛ wo nkoa.”
19 To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God?
Nanso, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnsuro me! Meyɛ Onyankopɔn a mɛtumi abu mo atɛn, atwe mo aso anaa?
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.
Ɛwom sɛ moyɛɛ mo adwene sɛ mobɛyɛ me bɔne deɛ, nanso na Onyankopɔn adwene ne sɛ, ɛbɛdane ade pa, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛtumi agye nnipa dodoɔ nkwa, sɛdeɛ ɔreyɛ no ɛnnɛ yi.
21 Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them.
Enti, monnsuro! Mʼankasa mede biribiara a ɛhia mo ne mo mma nyinaa bɛma mo.” Yosef nam saa kasakyerɛ yi so hyɛɛ wɔn bɔ sɛ, ɔrenyɛ wɔn bɔne biara.
22 So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere.
Yosef ankasa ne ne nuanom ne nʼagya abusuafoɔ nyinaa tenaa Misraim asase so. Ɔdii mfeɛ ɔha ne edu ansa na ɔrewu.
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.
Yosef hunuu Efraim mma nana ne Manase ba Makir mma nso. Wɔwoo wɔn guu ne srɛ so.
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.
Afei, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuammarima no sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre biara na mawu. Nanso, Onyankopɔn bɛboa mo, ayi mo afiri saa asase yi so, de mo akɔ bɔhyɛ asase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no so.”
25 And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence.
Yosef maa Israel mmammarima no kaa ntam, na Yosef kaa sɛ, “Nokorɛm, Onyankopɔn bɛdi aboa mo. Sɛ mewu nso a, monsoa me nnompe mfiri ha nkɔ Kanaan asase so.”
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.
Yosef dii mfeɛ ɔha ne edu, na ɔwuiɛ. Wɔhyɛɛ no akyenkyennuro de no too efunu adaka mu wɔ Misraim.
