< Genesis 50 >

1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him.
Nake Jusufu agĩkĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya ithe, akĩmũrĩrĩra na akĩmũmumunya.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the embalmers to embalm his father; and the embalmers embalmed Israel.
Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩatha athondekani arĩa maarĩ ndungata ciake mathondeke mwĩrĩ wa ithe Isiraeli nĩguo ndũkabuthe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athondekani makĩmũthondeka,
3 And they fulfilled forty days for him, for so are the days of embalming numbered; and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
handũ ha ihinda rĩa thikũ mĩrongo ĩna, tondũ rĩu nĩrĩo ihinda rĩrĩa rĩabatarainie rĩa kũũthondeka. Nao andũ a Misiri makĩmũcakaĩra matukũ mĩrongo mũgwanja.
4 And when the days of mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the princes of Pharao, saying, If I have found favor in your sight, speak concerning me in the ears of Pharao, saying,
Namo matukũ ma kũmũcakaĩra maathira-rĩ, Jusufu akĩĩra kĩama kĩa Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ manyu-rĩ, njarĩrĩriai kũrĩ Firaũni. Mwĩrei atĩrĩ,
5 My father adjured me, saying, In the sepulchre which I dug for myself in the land of Chanaan, there you shall bury me; now then I will go up and bury my father, and return again.
‘Baba nĩatũmire ndĩĩhĩte na mwĩhĩtwa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkua; na ndakua ũgaathika mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa niĩ mwene ndeyenjeire bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.” Rĩu rekei nyambate thiĩ ngathike baba; na nĩngũcooka hũndũke.’”
6 And Pharao said to Joseph, Go up, bury your father, as he constrained you to swear.
Nake Firaũni akĩmũtũmanĩra, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũthiĩ ũgathike thoguo, o ta ũrĩa aatũmire wĩhĩte.”
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father; and all the servants of Pharao went up with him, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu akĩambata agĩthiĩ gũthika ithe. Nao anene othe a Firaũni magĩthiĩ nake, andũ a gĩtĩĩo othe a kĩama kĩa Firaũni o na andũ arĩa atĩĩku a Misiri othe,
8 And all the household of Joseph, and his brethren, and all the house of his father, and his kindred; and they left behind the sheep and the oxen in the land of Gesem.
o hamwe na andũ othe a nyũmba ya Jusufu, na ariũ a ithe, na arĩa othe maarĩ a nyũmba ya ithe. No ciana ciki na ndũũru ciao cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe ciatigĩtwo Gosheni.
9 And there went up with him also chariots and horsemen; and there was a very great company.
Thigari cia ngaari cia ita na cia mbarathi o na cio igĩthiĩ nake. Kĩarĩ gĩkundi kĩnene mũno kĩa andũ.
10 And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan; and they bewailed him with a great and very sore lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
Nao maakinya ihuhĩro-inĩ rĩa ngano rĩa Atadi, hakuhĩ na Jorodani, makĩrĩra manĩrĩire marĩ na ruo; na hau Jusufu agĩcakaĩra ithe matukũ mũgwanja.
11 And the inhabitants of the land of Chanaan saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, and said, This is a great mourning to the Egyptians; therefore he called its name, The mourning of Egypt, which is beyond Jordan.
Na rĩrĩa Akaanani arĩa maatũũraga kũu moonire macakaya macio hau ihuhĩro-inĩ rĩa ngano rĩa Atadi, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Misiri marĩ na igongona rĩa macakaya ma kĩeha.” Na nĩkĩo handũ hau hakuhĩ na Jorodani heetagwo Abeli-Miziraimu.
12 And thus his sons did to him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ariũ a Jakubu magĩĩka o ũrĩa aamaathĩte:
13 So his sons carried him up into the land of Chanaan, and buried him in the double cave, which cave Abraam bought for possession of a burying place, of Ephrom the Chettite, before Mambre.
Makĩmũkuua makĩmũtwara bũrũri wa Kaanani, na makĩmũthika ngurunga-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa Makipela, hakuhĩ na Mamure, ĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aagũranĩirie na gĩthaka kĩu kĩrĩ handũ ha gũthikanwo kuuma kũrĩ Efironi ũrĩa Mũhiti.
14 And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and those that had gone up with him to bury his father.
Thuutha wa gũthika ithe-rĩ, Jusufu agĩcooka Misiri hamwe na ariũ a ithe na arĩa othe maathiĩte nake gũthika ithe.
15 And when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, [Let us take heed], lest at any time Joseph remember evil against us, and recompense to us all the evils which we have done against him.
Na rĩrĩa ariũ a ithe moonire atĩ ithe wao nĩakua, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩ angĩkorwo Jusufu nĩatũũire atũiguagĩra ũũru, na atũrĩhie maũru marĩa mothe twamwĩkire?”
16 And they came to Joseph, and said, Your father adjured [us] before his death, saying,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtũmana kũrĩ Jusufu makiuga atĩrĩ, “Thoguo atanakua nĩatigire oiga atĩrĩ:
17 Thus say you to Joseph, Forgive them their injustice and their sin, forasmuch as they have done you evil; and now pardon the injustice of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept while they spoke to him.
‘Ũũ nĩguo mũkeera Jusufu: ndagũthaitha ũrekere ariũ a thoguo mehia na mahĩtia marĩa meekire nĩ ũndũ nĩmagwĩkire ũũru mũno.’ Na rĩu twagũthaitha wohere ndungata cia Ngai wa thoguo mehia macio.” Na rĩrĩa ndũmĩrĩri yao yamũkinyĩire, Jusufu akĩrĩra.
18 And they came to him and said, We, these [persons], are your servants.
Ariũ a ithe magĩcooka magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, makĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere yake, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ ngombo ciaku.”
19 And Joseph said to them, Fear not, for I am God's.
No Jusufu akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Kaĩ niĩ akĩrĩ niĩ Ngai?
20 You took counsel against me for evil, but God took counsel for me for good, that [the matter] might be as [it is] today, and much people might be fed.
Inyuĩ mwaciirĩte kũnjĩka ũũru, no Ngai aanjiirĩire ũndũ mwega nĩguo akinyanĩrie ũrĩa kũrekĩka rĩu, ũhoro wa kũhonokia mĩoyo ya andũ aingĩ.
21 And he said to them, Fear not, I will maintain you, and your families: and he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũtigetigĩre. Nĩndĩĩmũheaga irio cianyu na cia ciana cianyu.” Nake akĩmomĩrĩria na akĩmarĩria wega.
22 And Joseph lived in Egypt, he and his brethren, and all the family of his father; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Jusufu agĩikara Misiri, hamwe na andũ othe a nyũmba ya ithe. Aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka igana rĩmwe na ikũmi,
23 And Joseph saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation; and the sons of Machir the son of Manasse were borne on the sides of Joseph.
na akĩona rũciaro rwa gatatũ rwa ciana cia Efiraimu. O na ciana cia Makiru mũrũ wa Manase ciaciarwo nĩciaigĩrĩirwo maru-inĩ ma Jusufu.
24 And Joseph spoke to his brethren, saying, I die, and God will surely visit you, and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers, Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob.
Ningĩ Jusufu akĩĩra ariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkua. No rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ Ngai nĩagooka kũmũrora amũteithie na amũrute kuuma bũrũri ũyũ, amũtware bũrũri ũrĩa erĩire Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Jakubu na mwĩhĩtwa.”
25 And Joseph adjured the sons of Israel, saying, At the visitation with which God shall visit you, then you shall carry up my bones hence with you.
Nake Jusufu agĩtũma ariũ a Isiraeli mehĩte na mwĩhĩtwa, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩagooka kũmũteithia, na hĩndĩ ĩyo yakinya no nginya mũgaakuua mahĩndĩ makwa kuuma kũndũ gũkũ.”
26 And Joseph died, aged an hundred and ten years; and they prepared his corpse, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu agĩkua, arĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana rĩmwe na ikũmi. Thuutha wa kũmũthondeka ndakabuthe, makĩmũiga ithandũkũ-inĩ rĩa gũthikwo narĩo o kũu Misiri.
