< Genesis 50 >
1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.
Jozèf lage kò l' sou papa l', li kriye kont li, li bo l' nan figi.
2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
Apre sa, Jozèf rele dòktè ki t'ap sèvi l' yo, li fè yo pare kadav la. Se sa menm dòktè yo fè.
3 Forty days were required for it, for that is how many the days it takes for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him for seventy days.
Yo pran karant jou pou pare kadav la jan yo konn fè l' la. Apre sa, moun peyi Lejip yo pase swasanndi jou ap kriye pou li.
4 When the days for mourning for him had passed, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Lè tout swasanndi jou yo fin pase, jou pou antèman an rive. Jozèf pale ak moun lakay farawon yo, li di yo konsa: -Tanpri souple, rann mwen sèvis sa a. Pote komisyon sa a bay farawon an pou mwen.
5 'My father made me take an oath, saying, "Look, I am dying. Bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will return again.'"
Di l' pou mwen: Anvan papa m' te mouri li te fè m' sèmante pou m' te antere l' nan kavo li te fè pare pou li nan peyi Kanaran. Tanpri, kite m' moute al antere papa m'. Apre sa, m'a tounen.
6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."
Farawon an voye reponn li: -Ou mèt al antere papa ou, jan ou te sèmante ba li a.
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father, and all the officials of Pharaoh went up with him, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Se konsa Jozèf moute al antere papa l'. tout moun lakay farawon yo, tout chèf ak tout notab peyi Lejip yo ale ak li,
8 all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
ansanm ak tout fanmi Jozèf yo, frè l' yo, ak tout fanmi papa l' yo. Men yo te kite tout timoun piti yo Gochenn ansanm ak bèt yo, mouton, kabrit ak bèf.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.
Te gen anpil cha ak anpil kavalye sou chwal ki t ale avek li. Kifè pa t' manke moun nan lantèman an.
10 Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad which is across the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very bitter lamentation. And he observed seven days of mourning for his father.
Lè yo rive nan glasi Atad ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden, kote sòlèy leve a, yo pran rele byen fò. Jozèf te fè yo fè sèvis la pandan sèt jou pou papa l'.
11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is across the Jordan.
Lè moun peyi Kanaran yo wè sèvis lantèman yo t'ap fè Atad la, yo di: -Ala yon grannèg ki mouri lakay moun peyi Lejip yo papa! Se poutèt sa yo rele glasi ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an: Glasi lapenn moun peyi Lejip yo.
12 So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,
Konsa, pitit gason Jakòb yo te fè jan papa yo te ba yo lòd fè a.
13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hethite.
Yo pote kadav li nan peyi Kanaran, yo antere l' nan twou wòch ki te nan jaden Makpela a, anfas Manmre. Se jaden sa a Abraram te achte nan men Efwon, moun Et la, pou sèvi l' simityè.
14 Then after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up with him to bury his father.
Apre Jozèf fin antere papa l', li tounen Lejip ansanm ak frè l' yo ak tout moun ki te moute avè l' pou lantèman papa l' la.
15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back in full for all of the evil that we did to him."
Apre lanmò papa yo, frè Jozèf yo di: -Ou pa janm konnen. Jozèf ka kenbe nou nan kè, li ka fè nou peye tout sa nou te fè l' yo.
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,
Se konsa yo voye di Jozèf: -Men komisyon papa te ban nou pou ou anvan l' te mouri:
17 Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
Men sa n'a di Jozèf pou mwen: Tanpri, padonnen krim frè ou yo te fè ou la. Padonnen peche yo paske yo te fè ou mal anpil. Koulye a atò, tanpri, padonnen mal nou te fè ou la, nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye papa ou la. Lè Jozèf tande pawòl sa a, li pran kriye.
18 Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."
Apre sa, frè l' yo vini yo menm menm, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li, yo di l' konsa: -Men nou pote tèt nou pou nou sèvi ou domestik.
19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
Jozèf di yo: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Mwen pa kapab pran plas Bondye.
20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.
Nou te moute konplo pou fè m' mal. Men Bondye fè sa tounen yon byen, pou l' te fè sak rive jòdi a rive, pou l' te ka sove lavi tout kantite moun sa yo.
21 So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
Non. Nou pa bezwen pè. M'ap okipe nou, nou menm ansanm ak tout pitit nou yo. Se konsa, Jozèf te pale byen ak frè l' yo, li te di yo pawòl ki te touche kè yo, li remoute kouraj yo.
22 So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
Jozèf te rete nan peyi Lejip ak tout fanmi papa l' yo. Li te gen sandizan (110 an) lè l' mouri.
23 Joseph saw Ephraim's descendants to the third generation. The children also of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were counted as Joseph's own.
Li te gen tan wè pitit ak pitit pitit Efrayim. Se nan men l' pitit Maki yo te fèt. Maki sa a te pitit Manase.
24 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
Li di frè l' yo konsa: -Mwen pral mouri. Men mwen sèten Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. L'ap fè nou kite peyi sa a, l'ap fè nou tounen nan peyi li te sèmante l'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la.
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, "God will surely take care of you. Then you must carry up my bones from here."
Apre sa, Jozèf fè pitit Izrayèl yo sèmante ba li, li di yo: -Wi, Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. Lè sa a, tanpri, pote zosman m' yo moute ak nou.
26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
Lè Jozèf mouri li te gen sandizan (110 an). Yo benyen kadav la, yo pare l' pou l' pa pouri. Yo mete l' nan yon sèkèy byen fèmen nan peyi Lejip.
