Genesis 50
1 And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
Yosef tow ne ho hwee nʼagya so suu no, na ofew nʼano.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
Ɛno akyi no, Yosef maa ne duruyɛfo bɛhyɛɛ nʼagya Israel akyenkyennuru, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrensɛe. Enti oduruyɛfo no hyɛɛ no akyenkyennuru.
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.
Wɔde adaduanan na ɛhyɛɛ Israel akyenkyennuru no, efisɛ saa nna dodow no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde hyɛ no aduru no. Misraimfo suu no nnafua aduɔson.
4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake 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,
Wosuu no wiee no, Yosef kasa kyerɛɛ Farao fifo se, “Sɛ manya mo anim anuonyam a, monka nkyerɛ Farao mma me se,
5 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
‘Mʼagya ma mekaa ntam,’ na ɔkae se: Hwɛ, aka kakra na mawu. Enti sɛ miwu a, ɔboda a mʼankasa mitwaa wɔ Kanaan asase so no mu na munkosie me. ‘Enti momma me kwan mma minkosie mʼagya, na mɛsan aba.’”
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
Farao penee akwansrɛ no so, kae se, “Kɔ na kosie wʼagya, sɛnea 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,
Enti Yosef kɔ kosiee nʼagya. Farao asomfo nyinaa ne ne mpanyimfo ne nʼatenankongua ne Misraim nnipa titiriw nyinaa kogyaa Yosef ayi
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.
kaa Yosef fifo nyinaa a ne nuabarimanom ne nʼagya fifo no ho. Wɔn mma ne wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi nko ara na wogyaw 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 apɔnkɔsotefo nso kaa wɔn ho kɔɔ ayi no bi. Nnipadɔm pa ara na wɔkɔe.
10 And they came to the threshingfloor 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.
Woduu Atad a ne nkyerɛase ne baabi a wɔpo atoko, a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Yordan no, wɔde nnanson twaa agyaadwo, yɛɛ Yosef agya Israel ayi kɛse 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: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which [is] beyond Jordan.
Bere a Kanaanfo a na wɔte asase no so huu sɛnea wosi yɛɛ ayi no wɔ Atad no, wɔkae se, “Eyi yɛ ayi kɛse bi a Misraimfo ayɛ.” Ɛno nti, Kanaanfo a wɔte asase no so no too hɔ din Abel-Misraim, a ne nkyerɛase ne Misraimfo reyɛ ayi kɛse.
12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
Enti Yakob mmabarima no yɛɛ sɛnea 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 buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
Wɔsoaa no, de no kɔɔ Kanaan asase so, kosiee no wɔ ɔboda a ɛwɔ Makpela a ɛbɛn Mamrɛ afuw a na Abraham atɔ afi Hetini Efron nkyɛn de ayɛ amusiei no mu.
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.
Yosef siee nʼagya wiee no, ɔne ne nuanom ne wɔn a wokogyaa no ayi no nyinaa san baa Misraim.
15 And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
Yosef agya wu akyi no, ne nuanom no de ehu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ Yosef da so wɔ yɛn ho menasepɔw, na otua yɛn bɔne ahorow a yɛayɛ no nyinaa so ka a, na yɛreyɛ no dɛn?”
16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
Enti wotuu nnipa kɔɔ Yosef hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wʼagya kaa saa asɛm yi ansa na ɔrewu.
17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
‘Asɛm yi na ɛsɛ sɛ moka kyerɛ Yosef: Mesrɛ wo, fa bɔne ahorow a wo nuanom ayɛ wo no nyinaa kyɛ wɔn.’ Enti afei mesrɛ wo, fa Onyankopɔn a wʼagya som no no nkoa bɔne kyɛ wɔn.” Bere a Yosef tee asɛm a ne nuanom no kae no, osui.
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we [be] thy servants.
Yosef nuabarimanom no bɛtotow wɔn ho guguu nʼanim, kae se, “Yɛyɛ wo nkoa.”
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [am] I in the place of God?
Nanso Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnsuro me! Meyɛ Onyankopɔn a metumi abu mo atɛn, atwe mo aso ana?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much people alive.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ moyɛɛ mo adwene sɛ mobɛyɛ me bɔne de, nanso na Onyankopɔn adwene ne sɛ, ɛbɛdan ade pa, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obetumi agye nnipa dodow nkwa, sɛnea ɔreyɛ no nnɛ yi.
21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
Enti munnsuro! Mʼankasa mede biribiara a ehia mo ne mo mma nyinaa bɛma mo.” Yosef nam saa kasakyerɛ yi so hyɛɛ wɔn bɔ sɛ, ɔrenyɛ wɔn bɔne biara.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
Yosef ankasa ne ne nuanom ne nʼagya abusuafo nyinaa tenaa Misraim asase so. Odii mfe ɔha ne du 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 upon Joseph’s knees.
Yosef huu Efraim mma nena ne Manase ba Makir mma nso. Wɔwoo wɔn guu ne srɛ so.
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 sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Na, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarimanom no se, “Ɛrenkyɛ biara na mawu. Nanso Onyankopɔn bɛboa mo, ayi mo afi 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 ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
Yosef maa Israel mmabarima no kaa ntam, na Yosef kae se, “Nokware, Onyankopɔn bedi aboa mo. Sɛ miwu nso a, monsoa me nnompe mfi 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 mfe ɔha ne du, na owui. Wɔhyɛɛ no akyenkyennuru de no too funnaka mu wɔ Misraim.
