< Genesis 50 >
1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.
Pea tōmapeʻe ʻa Siosefa ki he mata ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻo tangi kiate ia, mo uma kiate ia.
2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
Pea fekau ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene kau tangata faitoʻo, ke nau fakatolongaʻi ʻene tamai; pea naʻe fakatolonga ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kau faitoʻo.
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.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu koeʻuhi ko ia; he ko hono ngaahi ʻaho ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatolongaʻi; pea naʻe tangi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitungofulu koeʻuhi ko ia.
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,
Pea ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho fakamamahi, naʻe lea ʻa Siosefa ki he fale ʻo Felo, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni, kapau kuo u lelei ʻi homou ʻao, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu ke mou lea ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo pehē,
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.'"
Naʻe puleʻi au ʻe heʻeku tamai ke u fuakava, ʻo pehē, Vakai, teu mate: pea te ke tanu au ʻi he faʻitoka naʻaku ngaohi maʻaku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani. Pea ko eni ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻalu ʻo tanu ʻeku tamai, pea te u toe haʻu.”
6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Felo, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻo tanu hoʻo tamai, ʻo hangē ko e fuakava naʻa ne fekau ke ke fai.”
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,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ke tanu ʻene tamai; pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae kau matāpule kotoa pē ʻa Felo, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo hono fale, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsipite,
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.
Pea mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo Siosefa, mo hono ngaahi tokoua, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai; ko e nau tamaiki, mo e nau fanga manu, mo e nau fanga sipi, naʻa nau tuku pe ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi saliote, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi; ko e kakai tokolahi ʻaupito.
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.
Pea naʻa nau hoko ki he hahaʻanga uite ʻi ʻEtati, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani, pea nau tangi ai ʻi he tangi lahi mo fakamamahi: pea naʻa ne fai ʻae tangi ki heʻene tamai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
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.
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻaia ko e kakai Kēnani, ki he tangi ʻi he potu ʻi ʻEtati, pea nau lea ʻo pehē, “Ko e tangi fakamamahi eni, ki he kakai ʻIsipite;” ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ʻo ia ko ʻEpelimisilemi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani.
12 So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,
Pea naʻe fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau.
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.
He naʻe fata ia ʻe hono ngaahi foha ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo nau tanu ia ʻi he ʻana ʻi he ngoue ko Makipila ʻoku hanga ki Mamili, ʻaia naʻe fakatau maʻana ʻe ʻEpalahame, mo e ngoue ko e tanuʻanga, meia ʻEfilone ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Heti.
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.
Pea naʻe toe liu mai ʻa Siosefa ki ʻIsipite, hili ʻae tanu ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi tokoua, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu mo ia ke tanu ʻene tamai.
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."
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he ngaahi tokoua ʻo Siosefa, kuo pekia ʻa ʻenau tamai, naʻa nau pehē, “E fehiʻa nai ʻa Siosefa kiate kitautolu, mo totongi kiate kitautolu ʻae kovi kotoa pē naʻa tau fai kiate ia.”
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,
Pea naʻa nau fekau ʻae tokotaha ke ʻalu kia Siosefa ʻo lea pehē, naʻe fekau ʻe hoʻo tamai ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ʻo pehē,
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.
“Te mou lea pehē kia Siosefa, ‘ʻOku ou kole ni kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻae kovi ʻa ho ngaahi tokoua mo ʻenau fai hala;’ he naʻa nau fai kovi kiate koe: pea ko eni, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai.” Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻenau lea kiate ia.
18 Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."
Pea ʻalu hono ngaahi tokoua ʻo foʻohifo ʻi hono ʻao; ʻo nau lea pehē, “Vakai mai, ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu.”
19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua te mou manavahē; he ko e fetongi au ʻoe ʻOtua?
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.
Ka ko kimoutolu, naʻa mou mahalo kovi kiate au, ka naʻe puleʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke lelei, koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻaia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni, ke fakahaofi ʻae moʻui ʻae kakai tokolahi.
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.
Pea ko eni, ke ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē; he te u tauhi ʻakinautolu mo hoʻomou tamaiki.” Pea naʻa ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo lea ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
22 So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Siosefa ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻa ia, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai; pea ko e moʻui ʻa Siosefa ko e taʻu ʻe teau, mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu.
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.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Siosefa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi, ko e toʻutangata ʻe tolu ko e fānau foki ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase, naʻe ʻomi ʻo tuku ki he funga tui ʻo Siosefa.
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."
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Teu mate au; pea ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, ʻo ʻave ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ni, ki he fonua naʻa ne fuakava ki ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope.”
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."
Pea naʻe fai kia Siosefa ʻae fuakava ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou fetuku hoku ngaahi hui mei heni.”
26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
Pea naʻe pekia ai ʻa Siosefa, kuo teau taʻu, mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu hono motuʻa: pea naʻa nau fakatolongaʻi ia, pea nau ai ia ki he puha ʻi ʻIsipite.
