Genesis 50
1 And Joseph falls on his father’s face, and weeps over him, and kisses him;
Yusufu akahuzunika sana hata akauangukia uso wa baba yake, akamlilia, na kumbusu.
2 and Joseph commands his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm Israel;
Yusufu akawaagiza watumishi wake matabibu kumtia dawa babaye. Hivyo matabibu wakampaka dawa Israeli.
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.
Wakatimiza siku arobain, kwani huo ndio uliokuwa muda kamili wa kutia dawa. Wamisri wakamlilia kwa siku sabini
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,
Siku za maombolezo zilipotimia, Yusufu akaongea na watumishi wa baraza la kifalme wa Farao kusema, “Ikiwa nimepata kibali machoni penu, tafadharini ongeeni na Farao, kusema,
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”;
'Baba yangu aliniapisha, kusema, “Tazama, ninakaribia kufa. Unizike katika kaburi nililolichimba kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe katika nchi ya Kanaani. Ndipo utakaponizika.” Basi sasa niruhusu niende nimzike baba yangu, na kisha nitarudi.”
6 and Pharaoh says, “Go up and bury your father, as he caused you to swear.”
Farao akajibu, “Nenda na umzika baba yako, kama alivyokuwapisha.”
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,
Yusufu akaenda kumzika baba yake. Maofisa wa Farao wote wakaenda pamoja naye - washauri wa nyumba yake, maofisa waandamizi wote wa nchi ya Misri,
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;
pamoja na nyumba yote ya Yusufu na ndugu zake, na nyumba yote ya baba yake. Lakini watoto wao, kondoo wao na makundi ya mbuzi wao yaliachwa katika nchi ya Gosheni.
9 and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.
Vibandawazi na wapanda farasi pia walikwenda pamoja naye. Lilikuwa kundi kubwa sana la watu.
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,
Hata walipokuja katika sakafu ya kupuria ya Atadi upande mwingine wa Yordani, wakaomboleza kwa majonzi ya huzuni kubwa. Yusufu akafanya maombolezo ya siku saba kwa ajili ya babaye pale.
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.
Wenyeji wa nchi, Wakanaani, walipoona maombolezo katika sakafu ya Atadi, wakasema, “Hili ni tukio la kuhuzunisha sana kwa Wamisri.” Ndiyo maana eneo hilo likaitwa Abeli Mizraimu, lililoko mbele ya Yordani.
12 And his sons do to him so as he commanded them,
Hivyo wanawe wakamfanyia Yakobo kama alivyokuwa amewaagiza.
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.
Wana wake wakampeleka katika nchi ya Kanaani na wakamzika katika pango katika shamba la Makpela, karibu na Mamre. Ibrahimi alikuwa amelinunua pango pamoja na shamba kwa ajili ya eneo la kuzikia. Alikuwa amelinunua kutoka kwa Efroni Mhiti.
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.
Baada ya kuwa amemzika babaye, Yusufu akarudi Misri, yeye, pamoja na ndugu zake, na wote waliokuwa wamemsindikiza ili kumzika babaye.
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.”
Nduguze Yusufu walipoona kwamba baba yao amekufa, wakasema, “Itakuwaje ikiwa Yusufu atatukasirikia na akataka kutulipa kikamilifu kwa ajili ya uovu tuliomtenda?”
16 And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, saying,
Hivyo wakamwagiza Yusufu, kusema, “Baba yako alitoa maelekezo kabla hajafa, kusema,
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.
'Mwambieni hivi Yusufu, “Tafadhari samehe makosa ya ndugu zako na dhambi yao uovu waliokutenda.” Basi wasamehe watumishi wa Mungu wa baba yako.” Yusufu akalia walipomwambia.
18 And his brothers also go and fall before him, and say, “Behold, we [are] to you for servants.”
Ndugu zake pia wakaenda na kuinamisha nyuso zao mbele zake. Wakasema, “Tazama, sisi ni watumishi wako.”
19 And Joseph says to them, “Do not fear, for [am] I in the place of God?
Lakini Yusufu akawajibu, “Msiogope, Je mimi ni badala ya Mungu?
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;
Lakini kwenu, mlikusudia kunidhuru, lakini Mungu alikusudia mema, kuhifadhi maisha ya watu wengi, kama mwonavyo leo.
21 and now, do not fear: I nourish you and your infants”; and he comforts them, and speaks to their heart.
Hivyo basi msiogope. Nitawahudumia ninyi na watoto wenu wadogo.” Kwa njia hii aliwatia moyo na kuongea na mioyo yao kwa upole.
22 And Joseph dwells in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph lives one hundred and ten years,
Yusufu akakaa Misri, pamoja na familia ya baba yake. Akaishi miaka mia moja na kumi.
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.
Yusufu akawaona wana wa Efraimu hata kizazi cha tatu. Pia aliwaona wana wa Makiri mwana wa Manase, waliowekwa katika magoti ya Yusufu.
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.”
Yusufu akawambia ndugu zake, “Ninakaribia kufa; lakini kwa hakika Mungu atawajilia na kuwaongoza kutoka katika nchi hii na kuwapeleka katika nch aliyoapa kumpa Ibrahimu, kwa Isaka na kwa Yakobo.”
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].”
Kisha Yusufu akawaapisha watu wa Israeli kwa kiapo. Akasema, “Bila shaka Mungu atawajilia. Wakati huo mtachukuwa mifupa yangu kutoka hapa.”
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.
Hivyo Yusufu akafa, mwenye miaka 110. Wakampaka dawa na akawekwa katika jeneza huko Misri.
