Genesis 50
1 And Joseph fell on his father’s face, and wept on him, and kissed him.
Afei, Yosef too ne ho hwee nʼagya so suiɛ, fee nʼano.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
Ɛno akyiri no, Yosef maa nʼaduruyɛfoɔ bɛhyɛɛ nʼagya Israel akyenkyennuro, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrensɛe. Enti, aduroyɛfoɔ no hyɛɛ no akyenkyennuro.
3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him three score and ten days.
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 days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
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 swear, saying, See, I die: in my grave which I have dig for me in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray you, and bury my father, and I will come again.
‘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 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear.
Farao penee akwansra no so, kaa sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔsie wʼagya, sɛdeɛ ɔmaa wo kaa no ntam no.”
7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, 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 And all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left 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 up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
Nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ nso kaa wɔn ho kɔɔ ayie no bi. Nnipadɔm pa ara na wɔkɔeɛ.
10 And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
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 inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: why the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
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 And his sons did to him according as he commanded them:
Enti, Yakob mmammarima no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔn agya kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burial plot of Ephron the Hittite, before 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 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after 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 Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did to 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 And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Your father did command before he died, saying,
Enti, wɔtuu nnipa kɔɔ Yosef hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wʼagya kaa saa asɛm yi ansa na ɔrewu.
17 So shall you say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray you now, the trespass of your brothers, and their sin; for they did to you evil: and now, we pray you, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to 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 And his brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be your servants.
Yosef nuammarima no bɛtotoo wɔn ho guguu nʼanim, kaa sɛ, “Yɛyɛ wo nkoa.”
19 And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
Nanso, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnsuro me! Meyɛ Onyankopɔn a mɛtumi abu mo atɛn, atwe mo aso anaa?
20 But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it to good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
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 Now therefore fear you not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to 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 And Joseph dwelled in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
Yosef ankasa ne ne nuanom ne nʼagya abusuafoɔ nyinaa tenaa Misraim asase so. Ɔdii mfeɛ ɔha ne edu ansa na ɔrewu.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.
Yosef hunuu Efraim mma nana ne Manase ba Makir mma nso. Wɔwoo wɔn guu ne srɛ so.
24 And Joseph said to his brothers, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
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 Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from 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 Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Yosef dii mfeɛ ɔha ne edu, na ɔwuiɛ. Wɔhyɛɛ no akyenkyennuro de no too efunu adaka mu wɔ Misraim.
