< Genesis 50 >

1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
Jozefi amibwakaki na nzoto ya tata na ye, alelaki ye mpe apesaki ye beze.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
Bongo Jozefi apesaki mitindo na minganga oyo bazalaki kosala epai na ye ete bakawusa nzoto ya Isalaele, tata na ye. Boye minganga bakawusaki nzoto ya Isalaele,
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 threescore and ten days.
bakokisaki mikolo tuku minei oyo esengelaki mpo na kokawusa nzoto ya mowei. Bato ya Ejipito basalelaki ye matanga mikolo tuku sambo.
4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Tango mikolo ya matanga esilaki, Jozefi alobaki na bakonzi oyo basalaka na ndako ya Faraon: — Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na bino, bolobela ngai epai ya Faraon. Boyebisa ye
5 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have dug 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.
ete tata na ngai alapisaki ngai ndayi: « Nakomi pembeni ya kokufa, bokunda ngai kati na kunda oyo natobolaki na libanga, na mokili ya Kanana. » Mpe sik’oyo, tika ete apesa ngai nzela mpo ete nakende kokunda tata na ngai, bongo na sima nde nakozonga.
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear.
Faraon azongisaki: — Kende mpe kunda tata na yo ndenge alapisaki yo ndayi.
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,
Boye Jozefi akendeki kokunda tata na ye; bakalaka nyonso ya lokumu ya Faraon bakendeki elongo na ye: bakonzi oyo bazalaki kosala na ndako na ye mpe bakonzi nyonso ya Ejipito
8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
elongo na bato nyonso ya ndako ya Jozefi, bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ndako ya tata na ye. Bana na bango kaka nde batikalaki na Gosheni na bameme, bantaba mpe bangombe na bango.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
Jozefi atambolaki lisusu elongo na bashareti mpe bato oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda. Ezalaki mobembo ya bato ebele penza.
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.
Tango bakomaki na etando ya Atadi, pembeni ya Yordani, basalaki matanga ya monene penza. Jozefi asalaki mikolo sambo ya matanga mpo na tata na ye.
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: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
Bongo tango bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna bamonaki matanga wana na etando ya Atadi, balobaki: « Bato ya Ejipito bazali na milulu minene ya matanga. » Yango wana babengaki esika yango Abele-Mitsirayimi, oyo ezali pembeni ya Yordani.
12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
Bana mibali ya Jakobi basalaki ndenge tata na bango atindaki bango.
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 buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
Bamemaki ye na mokili ya Kanana mpe bakundaki ye na lidusu ya mabanga oyo ezali na elanga ya Makipela, pembeni ya Mamire, elanga oyo Abrayami asombaki epai ya Efroni, moto ya Iti, mpo ete akomisa yango lilita na ye.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
Sima na kokunda tata na ye, Jozefi azongaki na Ejipito elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe bato nyonso oyo balandaki ye mpo na kokunda tata na ye.
15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will possibly hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
Tango bandeko mibali ya Jozefi bamonaki ete tata na bango asili kokufa, balobaki: « Tango mosusu Jozefi akoyina biso mpe akozongisela biso mabe nyonso oyo tosalaki ye! »
16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Your father did command before he died, saying,
Boye batindelaki Jozefi maloba oyo: « Liboso ete tata na yo akufa, atikaki maloba oyo: ‹ Tala makambo oyo bokoyebisa Jozefi:
17 So shall all of you say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray you now, the trespass of your brethren, and their sin; for they did unto 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 unto him.
‘Nasengi ete olimbisa masumu ya bandeko na yo mpe mabe oyo basalaki yo! Sik’oyo, nabondeli yo, limbisa masumu ya basali ya Nzambe ya tata na yo!’ › » Tango Jozefi ayokaki maloba yango, alelaki.
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be your servants.
Bandeko na ye bayaki, bamibwakaki liboso na ye mpe balobaki: — Tozali bawumbu na yo.
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
Kasi Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Bobanga te! Boni, ngai nazali na esika ya Nzambe?
20 But as for you, all of you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Bino bokanisaki kosala ngai mabe, kasi Nzambe abongolaki yango bolamu mpo na kokokisa, ndenge ezali kosalema sik’oyo, lobiko ya bomoi ya bato ebele.
21 Now therefore fear all of you not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto them.
Yango wana, bobanga te! Nakokokisa posa na bino mpe ya bana na bino. Akitisaki bango mitema mpe alobelaki bango na boboto nyonso.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
Jozefi avandaki na Ejipito elongo na libota nyonso ya tata na ye. Awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na zomi.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
Amonaki bakitani ya Efrayimi kino na molongo ya misato. Amonaki lisusu bana ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase, ba-oyo babotamaki na mabolongo ya Jozefi.
24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Jozefi alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: « Nakomi pene ya kokufa. Kasi ya solo, Nzambe akosalisa bino mpe akobimisa bino na mokili oyo, mpo na kokotisa bino na mokili oyo alakaki epai ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Jakobi tango alapaki ndayi. »
25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and all of you shall carry up my bones from behind.
Jozefi alapisaki bana mibali ya Isalaele ndayi mpe alobaki na bango: « Tango Nzambe akosunga bino, bokolongola mikuwa na ngai na esika oyo. »
26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Bongo Jozefi akufaki tango akokisaki mibu ya mbotama nkama moko na zomi. Tango basilisaki kokawusa nzoto na ye, batiaki ye na sanduku na Ejipito.
