Genesis 50
1 And Joseph falls on his father’s face, and weeps over him, and kisses him;
Yosef tsɔ eɖokui ƒu fofoa ƒe kukua dzi, fa avi ɖe edzi, eye wògbugbɔ nu nɛ.
2 and Joseph commands his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm Israel;
Emegbe la, eɖe gbe na eƒe atikewɔlawo be woasi atike na ye fofo Israel. Ale atikewɔlawo si atike nɛ.
3 and they fulfill for him forty days, for so they fulfill the days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians weep for him seventy days.
Atikesisi la xɔ ŋkeke blaene, eye Egipte dukɔ blibo la ƒe konyifafa xɔ ŋkeke blaadre.
4 And the days of his weeping pass away, and Joseph speaks to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Esi konyifaɣi la va yi la, Yosef te ɖe Farao ŋumewo ŋu, eye wòɖe kuku na wo be woaƒo nu na Farao na ye.
5 My father caused me to swear, saying, Behold, I am dying; in my burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of Canaan, there you bury me; and now, please let me go up and bury my father, then I return”;
Egblɔ na wo be, “Migblɔ na fia la be Yosef fofo na Yosef ka atam be yeatsɔ ye fofo ƒe kukua ayi Kanaanyigba dzi, eye yeaɖii ɖe afi ma. Mibia mɔfiala nam be wòaɖe mɔ mayi aɖaɖi fofonye. Mika ɖe edzi nɛ nam be matrɔ agbɔ enumake.”
6 and Pharaoh says, “Go up and bury your father, as he caused you to swear.”
Farao lɔ̃ hegblɔ be, “Yi nàɖi fofowò abe ale si nèka atam ene.”
7 And Joseph goes up to bury his father, and all [the] servants of Pharaoh go up with him, [the] elderly of his house, and all [the] elderly of the land of Egypt,
Ale Yosef yi kple Farao ƒe aɖaŋudelawo kple kpeɖeŋutɔwo
8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and the house of his father; only their infants, and their flock, and their herd, have they left in the land of Goshen;
kple Yosef nɔviŋutsuwo kple woƒe ƒometɔwo. Ke wogblẽ wo vi suewo kple woƒe lãwo ɖe Gosenyigba dzi.
9 and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.
Ale tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdola geɖewo kpakple ameha gã aɖe kplɔ Yosef yii.
10 And they come to the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is] beyond the Jordan, and they lament there, a lamentation great and very grievous; and he makes for his father a mourning seven days,
Esi woɖo Atad, teƒe si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, eye wòte ɖe Yeriko ŋu la, wode kusɔleme, eye wofa konyi ŋkeke adre sɔŋ le Yakob ƒe ku ta.
11 and the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, sees the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad and says, “A grievous mourning [is] this to the Egyptians”; therefore [one] has called its name “The mourning of the Egyptians,” which [is] beyond the Jordan.
Kanaantɔwo na ŋkɔ bubuteƒe si le afi si te ɖe Yɔdan ŋu la be, Abel Mizraim si gɔmee nye “Konyifalawo tso Egipte,” elabena wogblɔ be, “Teƒe sia Egiptetɔwo fa konyi le vevie.”
12 And his sons do to him so as he commanded them,
Ale Yakob ƒe viwo wɔ nu siwo wòɖo na wo la.
13 and his sons carry him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of Mamre.
Wotsɔe yi Kanaanyigba dzi, eye woɖii ɖe kpeto si le Makpela ƒe anyigba dzi si te ɖe Mamre ŋu, abɔ si Abraham ƒle le Efrɔn, Hititɔ la si be wòanye ameɖiƒe la me.
14 And Joseph turns back to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his burying his father.
Yosef trɔ va Egipte kple nɔviawo kpakple ame siwo katã yi wo fofo ƒe kuteƒe la.
15 And the brothers of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, “Perhaps Joseph hates us, and certainly returns to us all the evil which we did with him.”
Ke esi wo fofo ku azɔ la, Yosef nɔviwo de asi vɔvɔ̃ me. Wogblɔ be, “Azɔ la, Yosef aɖo nu vɔ̃ si míewɔ ɖe eŋu la teƒe na mí.”
16 And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, saying,
Ale woɖo ame ɖe Yosef be, “Fofowò gblẽ ɖoɖo siawo ɖi hafi ku.
17 Thus you say to Joseph: Ah, now, please bear with the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they have done you evil; and now, please bear with the transgression of the servants of the God of your father”; and Joseph weeps in their speaking to him.
‘Nya si miagblɔ na Yosef lae nye: Mebia tso asiwò be nàtsɔ nɔviwòwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ kple vodada siwo wowɔ ɖe ŋuwò la ake wo.’ Azɔ míeɖe kuku, tsɔ nu vɔ̃ ke fofowò ƒe Mawu la ƒe dɔlawo.” Esi nya siawo va ɖo Yosef gbɔ la, efa avi.
18 And his brothers also go and fall before him, and say, “Behold, we [are] to you for servants.”
Tete nɔviawo va dze klo, de ta agu nɛ, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míenye wò kluviwo.”
19 And Joseph says to them, “Do not fear, for [am] I in the place of God?
Ke Yosef gblɔ na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o, Mawue menye be madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi, ahe to na mia?
20 As for you, you devised evil against me, [but] God devised it for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a numerous people;
Le nye ɖeka gome la, Mawu trɔ nu si mieɖo be wòanye nu vɔ̃ la wòzu nu nyui, elabena etsɔm ɖo teƒe kɔkɔ si mele egbe la be mate ŋu aɖe ame geɖewo ƒe agbe.
21 and now, do not fear: I nourish you and your infants”; and he comforts them, and speaks to their heart.
Migavɔ̃ o, nye ŋutɔ makpɔ miawo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo dzi.” Eƒo nu na wo kple gbe bɔbɔe, eye wòde dzi ƒo na wo.
22 And Joseph dwells in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph lives one hundred and ten years,
Ale Yosef kple nɔviawo kpakple woƒe ƒometɔwo ganɔ Egipte. Yosef xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka kple ewo hafi ku.
23 and Joseph looks on Ephraim’s sons of a third [generation]; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.
Enɔ agbe, kpɔ via Efraim ƒe viwo kple Makir, Manase ƒe vi ƒe viwo, ame siwo fena le Yosef ƒe afɔ nu.
24 And Joseph says to his brothers, “I am dying, and God certainly inspects you, and has caused you to go up from this land, to the land which He has sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
Yosef gblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Esusɔ vie maku, ke Mawu ava aɖe mi tso Egiptenyigba sia dzi, eye wòakplɔ mi, miatrɔ ayi anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo la dzi.”
25 And Joseph causes the sons of Israel to swear, saying, “God certainly inspects you, and you have brought up my bones from this [place].”
Emegbe Yosef na Israel ƒe viwo ka atam nɛ be, “Mawu akpe ɖe mia ŋu be miatsɔ nye kukua tso afi sia ayi Kanaan.”
26 And Joseph dies, a son of one hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.
Ale Yosef ku esi wòxɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka kple ewo. Wosi atike na eƒe kukua, eye wodee aɖaka me le Egipte.
